prepo 0.1.5

A package for preprocessing pandas DataFrames

Prepo

A Python package for preprocessing pandas DataFrames, with a focus on automatic data type detection, cleaning, and scaling.

Features

• Automatic Data Type Detection: Automatically identifies column types (numeric, categorical, temporal, etc.)
• Data Cleaning: Handles missing values, standardizes null representations
• Outlier Removal: Identifies and removes outliers from numeric columns
• Feature Scaling: Supports multiple scaling methods (standard, robust, minmax)
• Time Series Detection: Identifies if a DataFrame represents time series data

Installation

pip install prepo

Usage

import pandas as pd
from prepo import FeaturePreProcessor

# Create a processor instance
processor = FeaturePreProcessor()

# Load your data
df = pd.read_csv('data/raw/your_data.csv')

# Process the data
processed_df = processor.process(
    df, 
    drop_na=True,           # Drop rows with missing values
    scaler_type='standard', # Scale numeric features using standard scaling
    remove_outlier=True     # Remove outliers
)

# Save the processed data
processed_df.to_csv('data/processed/processed_data.csv', index=False)

Data Type Detection

The package automatically detects the following data types:

• temporal: Date and time columns
• binary: Columns with only two unique values
• percentage: Columns with values between 0 and 1, or columns with names containing "perc", "rating", etc.
• price: Columns with names containing "price", "cost", "revenue", etc.
• id: Columns with names ending or starting with "id"
• numeric: General numeric columns
• integer: Numeric columns with integer values
• categorical: Columns with a low ratio of unique values to total values
• string: Short text columns
• text: Long text columns
