# housing-prices dataset

**Status: synthetic placeholder, not yet a real Kaggle export.**

The build plan for this course calls for bundling small, license-verified Kaggle-sourced
datasets (see root `DATASETS.md`). Kaggle's actual housing-price datasets (e.g. the Ames Housing
dataset used in "House Prices - Advanced Regression Techniques") carry competition-specific terms
that need to be checked before redistributing a derived copy, and fetching them requires a
personal Kaggle API token this build does not have.

To avoid shipping data with an unverified license, `data.csv` here is **synthetically generated**
(300 rows of `sqft, bedrooms, age_years, price`, with a plausible linear-plus-noise relationship)
so the Linear Regression Playground's mini-project has real numbers to fit a line to.

**Follow-up task**: swap this file for a verified-license Kaggle export (or a confirmed
public-domain source such as the US Census-derived California Housing dataset) and update this
file with the original source URL, uploader, license, and date retrieved.
