## Curation
|
| 138 |
+
|
| 139 |
+
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`. 2 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.

|
| 143 |
+
## Limitations
|
| 144 |
+
|
| 145 |
+
- Data originates from Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations and has not been independently validated by ESA.
|
| 146 |
+
- Automated cleaning cannot correct for misreported values, definitional inconsistencies, or sampling bias in the original collection.
|
| 147 |
+
- The following columns have >20% missing values and should be treated with caution in modelling: `note`.
|
| 148 |
+
- Refer to the [original HDX dataset page](https://data.humdata.org/dataset/faostat-food-security-indicators-for-united-republic-of-tanzania) for the publisher's own methodology notes and caveats.
