134
+ ## Curation
135
+
136
+ 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`. 1 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.

139
+
140
+ ## Limitations
141
+
142
+ - Data originates from FEWS NET and has not been independently validated by ESA.
143
+ - Automated cleaning cannot correct for misreported values, definitional inconsistencies, or sampling bias in the original collection.
144
+ - The following columns have >20% missing values and should be treated with caution in modelling: `value`.
145
+ - Refer to the [original HDX dataset page](https://data.humdata.org/dataset/fewsnet_staple_food_price_data_for_ethiopia_weekly_6041) for the publisher's own methodology notes and caveats.
