Usage

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/africa-mauritius-budget-data-2016-2017-ministry-of-health-and-quality-of-li-3b6fcf92")
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"] == "MU"]

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.

Transformations Applied

• Converted the source table to Parquet for efficient analytics and ML workflows.
• Added or preserved source provenance columns where available.
• Standardized README metadata, dataset loading configuration, schema documentation, and citation format.
• Preserved source-reported values without analytical imputation.

Suggested Analyses

• Compare health outcomes across geographies
• Track changes over time
• Join with population or facility data
• 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
