Schema

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/africa-egypt-capmas-postal-services-bbb95d68")
df = ds["train"].to_pandas()
print(df.head())

Inspect Columns

print(df.info())
print(df.head())

Filter By Geography

# This dataset is scoped to Egypt in source metadata.
sample = df.copy()

Time-Series Pattern

if "value" in df.columns and "year" in df.columns:
    trend = df.sort_values("year")

Pivot For Analysis

if {"indicator_id", "year", "value"}.issubset(df.columns):
    matrix = df.pivot_table(index="year", columns="indicator_id", values="value")
    print(matrix.tail())

Data Quality Notes
