arffToDataFrame

Overview

arffToDataFrame is a Python package that provides a simple utility to convert ARFF (Attribute-Relation File Format) files to pandas DataFrames. This is particularly useful for data scientists and machine learning practitioners who work with ARFF files and prefer the flexibility and power of pandas for data manipulation and analysis.

Installation

You can install the package using pip:

pip install arffToDataFrame

Usage

The package provides a single function convertToDataFrame which takes the path to an ARFF file and returns a pandas DataFrame.

Example

import arffToDataFrame as atd

# Convert ARFF file to pandas DataFrame
df = atd.convertToDataFrame('path/to/your/file.arff', contains_attributes=True)

# Display the DataFrame
print(df)

Function Documentation
