Usage

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/africa-tanzania-national-bureau-of-statistics-8a4d172c")
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"] == "TZA"]

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

• Canonical time field: year.
• 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.

• Build time-series views and period-over-period comparisons
• Pivot to geography x period or indicator x period matrices
• Check missingness before modeling
• Use country_iso3 as the safest geography join key when present
