//! California Housing dataset.
//!
//! Median house values for California districts (block groups) derived from the
//! 1990 U.S. census, a classic regression benchmark and a modern replacement for
//! the (now deprecated) Boston Housing dataset.
//!
//! This loader reproduces the **scikit-learn** `fetch_california_housing`
//! feature set: rather than exposing the raw census columns, it derives the same
//! eight per-district features sklearn does. The underlying file is the widely
//! mirrored `housing.csv` from Géron's *Hands-On Machine Learning*, whose raw
//! columns (`longitude`, `latitude`, `housing_median_age`, `total_rooms`,
//! `total_bedrooms`, `population`, `households`, `median_income`,
//! `median_house_value`, `ocean_proximity`) are combined into the sklearn
//! features below.
//!
//! **Features (8):** in sklearn column order
//! - `MedInc` - median income in block group (tens of thousands of USD)
//! - `HouseAge` - median house age in block group
//! - `AveRooms` - average number of rooms per household (`total_rooms / households`)
//! - `AveBedrms` - average number of bedrooms per household (`total_bedrooms / households`)
//! - `Population` - block group population
//! - `AveOccup` - average household occupancy (`population / households`)
//! - `Latitude` - block group latitude
//! - `Longitude` - block group longitude
//!
//! **Target:** `MedHouseVal` - median house value, in units of $100,000
//!   (`median_house_value / 100000`), matching sklearn.
//!
//! **Samples:** 20,640
//! **Application:** Regression / median house value prediction
//!
//! **Missing values:** Géron's file has 207 rows where `total_bedrooms` was
//! intentionally removed (for teaching imputation). Those rows yield `NaN` in
//! `AveBedrms` — unlike sklearn's complete upstream, which has no missing values.
//!
//! **Source:** Pace, R. Kelley and Ronald Barry (1997), "Sparse Spatial
//! Autoregressions," *Statistics and Probability Letters*. Distributed via
//! Géron's *Hands-On Machine Learning* repository.

/// - `Latitude` - block group latitude
/// - `Longitude` - block group longitude
///
/// Target:
/// - `MedHouseVal` - median house value in units of $100,000
