Quick Start

Generating Simulated Data

The pyretailscience package provides a command-line interface for generating simulated transaction data.

Usage

pyretailscience --config_file=<config_file_path> [--verbose=<True|False>] [--seed=<seed_number>] [output]

Options and Arguments

  • --config_file=<config_file_path>: The path to the configuration file for the simulation. This is a required argument.
  • --verbose=<True|False>: Optional. Set to True to see debug messages. Default is False.
  • --seed=<seed_number>: Optional. Seed for the random number generator used in the simulation. If not provided, a random seed will be used.
  • [output]: Optional. The path where the generated transactions will be saved in parquet format. If not provided, the transactions will be saved in the current directory.

Examples

# Get the default transaction config file
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Data-Simply/pyretailscience/0.3.0/data/default_data_config.yaml
# Generate the data file
pyretailscience --config_file=default_data_config.yaml --seed=123 transactions.parquet

This command will generate a file named transactions.parquet with the simulated transaction data, using the configuration file at default data configuration file, and a seed of 123 for the random number generator.
