         Parameters
         ----------
         dim : int
             The dimension to relabel. Should be 0 or 1. Use `dim = 0` for rowwise
             relabeling and `dim = 1` for columnwise relabeling.
-        heading_indices : torch.Tensor, optional
+        leading_indices : torch.Tensor, optional
             An optional tensor containing row or column ids that should be placed
             at the beginning of the relabeled dimension.
