All-State-Claims-Severity---Kaggle

How severe is an insurance claim?

Allstate is currently developing automated methods of predicting the cost, and hence severity, of claims.

Data Set

Each row in this dataset represents an insurance claim. You must predict the value for the 'loss' column. Variables prefaced with 'cat' are categorical, while those prefaced with 'cont' are continuous.
