How To Read This Dataset

  • Start from the repository files and the dataset viewer when available.
  • Treat the README context as a fast orientation layer; confirm variable definitions and units in the data files before modeling.
  • Use explicit country columns when present. When geography is only implied by the title or source metadata, document that assumption in downstream analysis.
  • Preserve missing values until you have a defensible imputation rule.

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/africa-owid-absolute-gains-in-mean-female-height")
print(ds)

split_name = next(iter(ds))
table = ds[split_name]
print(table.features)
print(table[:3])

Convert To Pandas When Tabular

from datasets import Dataset

first_split = ds[next(iter(ds))]
if isinstance(first_split, Dataset):
    df = first_split.to_pandas()
    print(df.head())

Data Quality Notes

  • This card was standardized from the Electric Sheep Africa Hugging Face metadata inventory.
  • Exact schema, row counts, and source files should be inspected in the repository data files.
  • Metadata gaps from the inventory: country, sector, upstream_publisher.
  • Do not infer policy meaning from labels alone; confirm definitions, units, and methods in the source material.

Source And Provenance

Suggested Analyses

  • Inspect schema and missingness before modeling.
  • Profile variables by geography, time, and subgroup columns where present.
  • Join with other Electric Sheep Africa datasets using explicit country, year, and indicator fields when available.
  • Build reproducible notebooks that cite both the original source context and the Electric Sheep Africa Hugging Face repo.
