Built for my data mining class: given the features available at admission, estimate how long a patient will be in the hospital.
Length of stay is a deceptively hard target. The distribution has a long right tail, the extreme cases are the ones that matter operationally, and a model optimised for average error will quietly be worst exactly where the cost is highest.
