What This Dataset Covers

Public datasets help analysts inspect structured evidence, build reproducible workflows, and compare patterns across domains.

Dataset context from the existing Hugging Face card: Liberia - Data on Conflict Events Publisher: HDX · Source: HDX · License: cc-by-igo · Updated: 2026-04-03 Abstract This dataset is UCDP's most disaggregated dataset, covering individual events of organized violence (phenomena of lethal violence occurring at a given time and place). These events are sufficiently fine-grained to be geo-coded down to the level of individual villages, with temporal durations disaggregated to single, individual days.Sundberg, Ralph, and Erik… See the full description on the dataset page: https://huggingface.co/datasets/electricsheepafrica/africa-ucdp-data-for-liberia.

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

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/africa-ucdp-data-for-liberia")
print(ds)

split_name = next(iter(ds))
table = ds[split_name]
print(table.features)
print(table[:3])

Convert To Pandas When Tabular

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.

Suggested Analyses

• Inspect schema and missingness before modeling.

• Join with other Electric Sheep Africa datasets using explicit country, year, and indicator fields when available.
• Build reproducible notebooks that cite both the original source context and the Electric Sheep Africa Hugging Face repo.
