TL;DR

This dataset contains 34 rows from National Bureau of Statistics, Nigeria, covering Rail Transportation Data. It is published as ML-ready Parquet with consistent Hugging Face metadata, source provenance, and analysis-friendly loading examples.

What This Dataset Measures

Transport datasets help analysts examine mobility, infrastructure, passenger movement, logistics, and access to services.

Source-provided context: Document, Report [doc/rep]

How To Read This Dataset

• —One row means: one source record from the original tabular resource, with Electric Sheep Africa provenance columns added where available.
• —Primary geography column: country_iso3.
• —Best time column: not detected.
• —Time coverage basis: source metadata.
• —Recommended join keys: country_iso3 where available plus source-specific keys.

Indicators, Variables, Or Resource Contents

• —This repo preserves one source tabular resource with its usable columns kept together.

Schema

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/africa-nigeria-rail-transportation-data-833d5dce")
df = ds["train"].to_pandas()
print(df.head())

Inspect Columns

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

Filter By Geography

if "country_iso3" in df.columns:
    sample = df[df["country_iso3"] == "NGA"]

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

• —No canonical year/date column was detected in the packaged table; use source metadata and domain context for temporal interpretation.
• —Missing values are preserved rather than silently imputed.
• —Column names are standardized for machine use; source meanings are preserved where known.
• —Always confirm source methodology, units, and collection definitions before policy, production, or redistribution-sensitive use.

Transformations Applied

• —Converted the source table to Parquet for efficient analytics and ML workflows.
• —Added or preserved source provenance columns where available.
• —Standardized README metadata, dataset loading configuration, schema documentation, and citation format.

Suggested Analyses

• —Track mobility over time
• —Compare routes or geographies
• —Join with economic and population data
• —Check missingness before modeling
• —Use country_iso3 as the safest geography join key when present
