## Quick Start

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

ds    = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/asia-operational-presence-all")
train = ds["train"].to_pandas()
test  = ds["test"].to_pandas()

print(train.shape)
train.head()
```

## Schema

| Column | Type | Null % | Range / Sample Values |
|---|---|---|---|
| `esa_source` | object | 0.0% | HDX |
| `esa_processed` | object | 0.0% | 2026-05-04 |

## Numeric Summary

| Column | Min | Max | Mean | Median |
|---|---|---|---|---|
_No numeric columns._

## Curation

Raw data was downloaded from HDX via the CKAN API and converted to Parquet. Column names were lowercased and standardised to snake_case. Common missing-value markers (`N/A`, `null`, `none`, `-`, `unknown`, `no data`, `#N/A`) were unified to `NaN`. 38 column(s) with >80% missing values were removed: `unnamed_0`, `unnamed_1`, `unnamed_2`, `unnamed_3`, `unnamed_4`, `unnamed_5`.... The dataset was split 80/20 into train and test partitions using a fixed random seed (42) and saved as Snappy-compressed Parquet.

## Limitations

- Data originates from Global Shelter Cluster (inactive) and has not been independently validated by ESA.
- Automated cleaning cannot correct for misreported values, definitional inconsistencies, or sampling bias in the original collection.
- Refer to the [original HDX dataset page](https://data.humdata.org/dataset/philippines-who-does-what-where-and-when-4w-for-typhoon-goni-and-vamco-01-december-2020) for the publisher's own methodology notes and caveats.
