datamop

Documentation StatusPython 3.11codecov

datamop is a data cleaning and wrangling package designed to streamline the preprocessing of datasets. Whether you meet missing values, inconsistent categorical columns or need scaling for numeric columns when dealing with data. datamop provides a simple and consistent solution to automate and simplify these repetitive tasks. The following are core functions of this package:

  • sweep_nulls(): Handle missing values such as imputation or removal, based on user preference.

  • column_encoder(): Encodes categorical columns using either one-hot encoding or ordinal encoding, based on user preference.

  • column_scaler(): Scales numerical columns, including Min-Max scaling and Z-score standardization, based on user preference.

datamop fits into Python data preprocessing ecosystem by offering a more lightweight and user-friendly alternative to complex libraries like pandas, scikit-learn. datamop focuses specifically on handling missing values, encoding categorical columns and normalizing numerical columns. datamop changes scikit-learn tasks performed by modules like SimpleImputer, OneHotEncoder, OrdinalEncoder and StandardScaler with fewer steps and easier customization. Similar functionality can be found in:

Installation

$ pip install datamop

Usage

datamop can be used to encode columns in a DataFrame using one-hot or ordinal encoding as follows:

import pandas as pd
import datamop

df = pd.DataFrame({
    'Sport': ['Tennis', 'Basketball', 'Football', 'Badminton'],
    'Level': ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D']
})

encoded_df_onehot = datamop.column_encoder(df, columns=['Sport'], method='one-hot')
encoded_df_ordinal = datamop.column_encoder(df, columns=['Level'], method='ordinal', order={'Level': ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D']})

This package can also be used to handle missing values such as imputation or removal, based on user preference as following:

import numpy as np
df = pd.DataFrame({
    'a': [10, np.nan, 30],
    'b': [1.5, 2.5, np.nan],
    'c': ['x', np.nan, 'z']
    })
cleaned = datamop.sweep_nulls(df, strategy='mean')

Additionally, this package can be used to scale numerical columns as following:

df = pd.DataFrame({"price": [25, 50, 75]})
df_scaled = datamop.column_scaler(df, column = 'price', method='minmax', new_min=0, new_max=1)
