//! California Housing dataset.
//!
//! This dataset has median house values for California districts (block groups),
//! derived from the 1990 U.S. census. It is a common regression benchmark and a
//! replacement for the deprecated Boston Housing dataset.
//!
//! This loader reproduces the **scikit-learn** `fetch_california_housing` feature
//! set. Instead of exposing the raw census columns, it derives the same eight
//! per-district features that sklearn uses. The source file is the widely
//! mirrored `housing.csv` from Géron's *Hands-On Machine Learning*. Its raw
//! columns are `longitude`, `latitude`, `housing_median_age`, `total_rooms`,
//! `total_bedrooms`, `population`, `households`, `median_income`,
//! `median_house_value`, and `ocean_proximity`. This loader combines those
//! columns into the sklearn columns below.
//!
//! **Columns (9):** in sklearn column order
//!
//! | Name          | Type      | Description                                                     |
//! |---------------|-----------|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
//! | `MedInc`      | `Numeric` | median income in the block group, in tens of thousands of USD   |
//! | `HouseAge`    | `Numeric` | median house age in the block group                             |
//! | `AveRooms`    | `Numeric` | average rooms per household, `total_rooms / households`          |
//! | `AveBedrms`   | `Numeric` | average bedrooms per household, `total_bedrooms / households`    |
//! | `Population`  | `Numeric` | block group population                                          |
//! | `AveOccup`    | `Numeric` | average household occupancy, `population / households`           |
//! | `Latitude`    | `Numeric` | block group latitude in degrees                                 |
//! | `Longitude`   | `Numeric` | block group longitude in degrees                                |
//! | `MedHouseVal` | `Numeric` | median house value in units of $100,000                         |
//!
//! The source designates the first eight columns as the inputs
//! ([`CaliforniaHousing::FEATURE_NAMES`](crate::CaliforniaHousing::FEATURE_NAMES)) and `MedHouseVal` as the label
//! ([`CaliforniaHousing::TARGET`](crate::CaliforniaHousing::TARGET)). The target is `median_house_value / 100000`,
//! which matches sklearn.
//!
//! **Samples:** 20,640
//! **Application:** Regression / median house value prediction
//!
//! **Missing values:** Géron's file omits `total_bedrooms` from 207 rows on
//! purpose, to teach imputation. Those rows yield `NaN` in `AveBedrms`. Sklearn's
//! complete upstream source 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.
