## How To Read This Dataset
|
| 67 |
+
|
| 68 |
+
- Start from the repository files and the dataset viewer when available.
|
| 69 |
+
- Treat the README context as a fast orientation layer; confirm variable definitions and units in the data files before modeling.
|
| 70 |
+
- Use explicit country columns when present. When geography is only implied by the title or source metadata, document that assumption in downstream analysis.
|
| 71 |
+
- Preserve missing values until you have a defensible imputation rule.

## Usage
|
| 74 |
|
|
|
|
| 76 |
from datasets import load_dataset
|
| 77 |
|
| 78 |
ds = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/africa-livestock-patterns-stocks")
|
| 79 |
+
print(ds)
|
| 80 |
+
|
| 81 |
+
split_name = next(iter(ds))
|
| 82 |
+
table = ds[split_name]
|
| 83 |
+
print(table.features)
|
| 84 |
+
print(table[:3])
|
| 85 |
```
|
| 86 |
|
| 87 |
+
### Convert To Pandas When Tabular
|
| 88 |
|
| 89 |
```python
|
| 90 |
+
from datasets import Dataset
|
| 91 |
+
|
| 92 |
+
first_split = ds[next(iter(ds))]
|
| 93 |
+
if isinstance(first_split, Dataset):
|
| 94 |
+
df = first_split.to_pandas()
|
| 95 |
+
print(df.head())
|
| 96 |
```

## Data Quality Notes
|
| 99 |
|
| 100 |
+
- This card was standardized from the Electric Sheep Africa Hugging Face metadata inventory.
|
| 101 |
+
- Exact schema, row counts, and source files should be inspected in the repository data files.
|
| 102 |
+
- Metadata gaps from the inventory: country, upstream_publisher.
|
| 103 |
+
- Do not infer policy meaning from labels alone; confirm definitions, units, and methods in the source material.
|
|
|
|
| 104 |
|
| 105 |
+
