One idea would be to predict clinical outcome using a Kaggle dataset. For example, see the following dataset: Lung Cancer

This looks good to me. I use R for machine learning, although I believe Python is more popular. I would check with the people on Kaggle to see what they think.

You can try to optimize your model by adjusting the parameters. See what happens if you set n_estimators to 500 or 1000. You can also adjust max_features. The default is 'sqrt', which should be 4 in your case. You can try setting it to 1, 'log2', 2, and 8, as well. Definitely try max_features = 1. Again, you can post a similar question on Kaggle to see what they say.
