## 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`. 7 column(s) with >80% missing values were removed: `admin_1`, `admin_2`, `admin_3`, `admin_4`, `pct_phase3`, `pct_phase4`.... 7 column(s) were cast from string to numeric or datetime based on parse-success rate (>85% threshold). 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 FEWS NET 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/central_african_republic_most_likely_fewsnet_fipe) for the publisher's own methodology notes and caveats.
