|
| ## How To Read This Dataset |
|
|
| - Start from the repository files and the dataset viewer when available. |
| - Treat the README context as a fast orientation layer; confirm variable definitions and units in the data files before modeling. |
| - Use explicit country columns when present. When geography is only implied by the title or source metadata, document that assumption in downstream analysis. |
| - Preserve missing values until you have a defensible imputation rule. |
|
|
| ## Usage |
|
|
| ```python |
| from datasets import load_dataset |
| |
| ds = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/africa-synth-telecom-voice-data-sms-usage-patterns-nigeria") |
| print(ds) |
| |
| split_name = next(iter(ds)) |
| table = ds[split_name] |
| print(table.features) |
| print(table[:3]) |
| ``` |
|
|
| ### Convert To Pandas When Tabular |
|
|
| ```python |
| from datasets import Dataset |
| |
| first_split = ds[next(iter(ds))] |
| if isinstance(first_split, Dataset): |
| df = first_split.to_pandas() |
| print(df.head()) |
| ``` |
|
|
| ## Data Quality Notes |
|
|
| - This card was standardized from the Electric Sheep Africa Hugging Face metadata inventory. |
| - Exact schema, row counts, and source files should be inspected in the repository data files. |
| - Metadata gaps from the inventory: upstream_publisher. |
| - Do not infer policy meaning from labels alone; confirm definitions, units, and methods in the source material. |
| |
