4. Datasets

datasets fetches data from the local machine. If data does not exist, module retrieves it from the remote (repository) or using zenodo record. watex implements three (3) kinds of datasets:

• DC-resistivity datasets (DC-datasets)

• Learning datasets

• EDI datasets; EDI stands for Electrical Data Interchange, refer to edi.

4.1. DC-Datasets

The DC dataset is divided into two kinds of datasets: The Electrical resistivity profiling (ERP) and vertical electrical sounding (VES) datasets 1.

4.1.1. ERP dataset

Most of the DC-ERP data are collected from different survey areas during the National Drinking Water Supply Program (PNAEP) occurs in 2014 in Cote d’Ivoire.

This is an example of the ERP data arrangement table:

station	easting	northing	resistivity
0	382741	896203	79
10	382743	896193	62
20	382747	896184	51
…	…	…	…
980	382705	894887	55
990	382704	895879	58

All the DC-ERP datasets hold the following parameters:

• kindstr , [‘ves’|’erp’], default is {‘erp’}.

  The kind of DC data to retrieve. If kind is set to ves , VES data is fetched and ERP otherwise. Note that this is only valid for Gbalo locality (load_gbalo()).

• tag, data_names: None, Always None for API consistency.

• as_framebool, default=False.

  If True, the data is a pandas dataframe including columns with appropriate types (numeric). The target is a pandas Data frame or Series depending on the number of target columns. If as_frame is False, then returning a Boxspace.

• kws : dict, Keywords arguments pass to _is_readable() function for parsing data.

There are two localities for DC-ERP datasets :

• Tankesse data fetches using load_tankesse()

• Gbalo data fetches using load_gbalo()

>>> from watex.datasets import load_tankesse, load_gbalo
>>> load_tankesse ().resistivity.max()
224
>>>  # To get the max station of the survey area
>>> load_gablo().station.max()  # in meter
440.0

Note

The array configuration during the PNEAP is Schlumberger and the max depth investigation is in meters for \(AB/2\) (current electrodes). The profiling step \(AB/2\) and \(MN/2\) (potential electrodes) are fixed to meters 2. The easting, and northing are in meters and resistivity columns are in \(\Omega.m\) as apparent resistivity values. Furthermore, if the UTM coordinates (easting and northing) data is given as well as the UTM_zone, the latitude and longitude data are auto-computed and vice versa. The user does need to provide both coordinates data types ( UTM or DD:MM.SS)

To ascertain whether the data is acceptable, it is better to reverify the arrangement using the function erpSelector() for data validation.

4.1.2. VES dataset

Most of the DC-VES data are also collected from different survey areas during the PNAEP program. The following table gives an illustration of the standard data arrangement:

AB/2	MN/2	SE1	SE2	SE…
1	0.4	107	93	75
2	0.4	97	91	49
…	…	…	…	…
100	10	79	96	98
110	10	84	104	104

where \(AB/2\), \(MN/2\) and \(SE\) are the depth measurement of the current electrodes AB, the spacing of the potential electrodes, and the sounding resistivity values in \(\Omega.m\) 3. Note that many sounding data (SE) can be collected in the survey area. For simplifying purposes \(AB/2\) and \(MN/2\) are kept in VES frame as \(AB\) and \(MN\) respectively whereas \(SE\) is renamed to \(resistivity\).

The following table gives the true sanitized arrangement acceptable for all functions and methods that use the VES data:

AB	MN	resistivity	resistivity	resistivity	…
1	0.4	107	93	75	…
2	0.4	97	91	49	…
…	…	…	…	…	…
100	10	79	96	98	…
110	10	84	104	104	…

The following parameters are passed to the VES data to retrieve the expected data:

• tag, data_names: None , Always None for API consistency

• as_framebool, default=False.

  If True, the data is a pandas DataFrame including columns with appropriate types (numeric). The target is a panda data frame or Series depending on the number of target columns. If as_frame is False, then returning a Boxspace dictionary-like object.

• index_rhoa: int, default=0.

  Index of the resistivity columns to retrieve. Note that this is useful in cases many sounding values are collected in the same survey area. index_rhoa=0 fetches the first sounding values in the collection of all values. For instance index_rhoa=0 in the raw arrangement above fetches the sounding data SE1 i.e the first resistivity column.

• kws: dict, Keywords arguments pass to _is_readable() function for parsing data.

There are three localities for DC-VES datasets:

• Gbalo data fetches using load_gbalo() by passing argument ves to parameter kind.

• Boundiali data fetches using load_boundiali()

• Semien data fetches using load_semien()

If the raw arrangement (above ) is given, it is better to reverify the arrangement using the function vesSelector() for data validation.

>>> from watex.datasets import load_boundiali , load_gbalo
>>> load_boundiali ().head(3)
   AB   MN  resistivity
0   1  0.4          107
1   2  0.4           97
2   3  0.4           69
>>> load_boundiali (index_rhoa =2 ).head(3) # third sounding data
   AB   MN  resistivity
0   1  0.4           75
1   2  0.4           49
2   3  0.4           44
>>> load_gbalo (kind ='ves').AB.max () # max AB/2 depth
100

Note

The array configuration is Schlumberger and the max depth investigation is 100 meters for \(AB/2\) (current electrodes). The profiling step \(AB\) is fixed to 100 meters whereas \(MN/2\) also fixed to (potential electrodes) to 10 meters. station , easting and northing are in meters and resistivity columns are in \(\Omega.m\) as apparent resistivity values.

4.2. Learning Dataset

The learning datasets are the data ready for predictions where the features are already precomputed. An example is the most popular dataset:func:~watex.datasets.iris. The famous example of watex datasets in the Bagoue datasets. See load_bagoue() for parameter definitions. The second sample of learning datasets is the hydrogeological dataset. The latter is composed of geology, boreholes, and logging data. Refer to load_hlogs() for parameter explanations.

>>> from watex.datasets import load_bagoue
>>> d = load_bagoue ()
>>> d.target[[10, 25, 50]]
array([0, 2, 0])
>>> list(d.target_names)
['flow']
>>> from watex.datasets import load_iris
>>> data = load_iris()
>>> data.target[[10, 25, 50]]
array([0, 0, 1])
>>> list(data.target_names)
['setosa', 'versicolor', 'virginica']
>>> from watex.datasets.dload import load_hlogs
>>> b= load_hlogs()
>>> b.target_names
['aquifer_group',
 'pumping_level',
 'aquifer_thickness',
 'hole_depth',
 'pumping_depth',
 'section_aperture',
 'k',
 'kp',
 'r',
 'rp',
 'remark']
>>> # Let's say we are interested of the targets 'pumping_level' and
>>> # 'aquifer_thickness' and returns `y'
>>> _, y = load_hlogs (as_frame=True, # return as frame X and y
                                           tnames =['pumping_level','aquifer_thickness'],
                                           )
>>> list(y.columns)
['pumping_level', 'aquifer_thickness']

4.3. EDI dataset

SEG-EDI dataset is a collection of edi-objects from Edi. Data can be restored using the load_edis(). Refer to the function (load_edis().) parameters explanation for further details.

>>> from watex.datasets.dload import load_edis
>>> load_edis ().frame [:3]
                                edi
0  Edi( verbose=0 )
1  Edi( verbose=0 )
2  Edi( verbose=0 )
>>> load_edis (as_frame =True, key='longitude latitude', samples = 7)
        latitude   longitude
0  26.051390  110.485833
1  26.051794  110.486153
2  26.052198  110.486473
3  26.052602  110.486793
4  26.053006  110.487113
5  26.053410  110.487433
6  26.053815  110.487753

4.4. Boilerplate function : fetch_data()

The boilerplate function fetch_data() accepts as tag argument the area name of all sampling datasets implemented in datasets and returns the return values of each dataset. However, there is a special case when using fetch_data() for the Bagoue area 4. Indeed, the later dataset gives multiple stages of data processing. To fetch any stage of the data processing, the area name must be following by the processing stage name. For instance, fetching the analysed data for PCA analysis, the tag should be Bagoue analyzed rather than Bagoue. Refer to the function parameters explanation for further details as well as the processing stages 5. If the only name is given, the load_bagoue() should be enabled and will output the return accordingly. See the demonstration below to fetch some processing stages of Bagoue datasets.

    >>> from watex.datasets import fetch_data
    >>> fetch_data ('gbalo').head (3)
       station  resistivity  longitude  latitude  easting   northing
    0      0.0         1101        0.0       0.0   790752  1092750.0

    2     20.0         1345        0.0       0.0   790743  1092763.0
    >>> fetch_data ('semien', index_rhoa=1).head (3)

    >>> h = fetch_data ('hlogs')
    >>> h.frame.columns[:7]
    Index(['hole_id', 'depth_top', 'depth_bottom', 'strata_name', 'rock_name',
   'layer_thickness', 'resistivity'],
   dtype='object')
    >>> e= fetch_data ('edis', samples =7 , return_data = True)
    array([Edi( verbose=0 ), Edi( verbose=0 ), Edi( verbose=0 ),
   Edi( verbose=0 ), Edi( verbose=0 ), Edi( verbose=0 ),
   Edi( verbose=0 )], dtype=object)
    >>> b = fetch_data('bagoue' ) # no suffix returns  object
    >>> b.tnames
    array(['flow'], dtype='<U4')
    >>> b.feature_names
['num',

     'type',
     'sfi',
     'ohmS',
     'lwi',
     'geol']
    >>> X, y = fetch_data('bagoue prepared' ) # prepared staged
    >>> X # is transformed  # ready for prediction
    >>> X[0]
    <1x18 sparse matrix of type '<class 'numpy.float64'>'
            with 8 stored elements in Compressed Sparse Row format>
    >>> y
    array([2, 1, 2, 2, 1, 0, ... , 3, 2, 3, 3, 2], dtype=int64)
    >>> fetch_data('bagoue pipe' ) # fetch the pipeline for Bagoue data processing
    FeatureUnion(transformer_list=[('num_pipeline',
                            Pipeline(steps=[('selectorObj',
                                             DataFrameSelector(attribute_names=['power', 'magnitude', 'sfi', 'ohmS', 'lwi'])),
                                            ('imputerObj',
                                             SimpleImputer(strategy='median',
                                                           verbose='deprecated')),
                                            ('scalerObj',
                                             StandardScaler())])),
                           ('cat_pipeline',
                            Pipeline(steps=[('selectorObj',

                                            ('OneHotEncoder',
                                             OneHotEncoder())]))])

4.5. Generate ERP or VES data

ERP and VES data can be generated using the function make_erp() and make_ves() respectively. Check the function parameters for further details. The following code snippets gives an example of generating ERP and VES data:

>>> from watex.datasets import make_erp, make_ves
>>> erp_data = make_erp (n_stations =50 , step =30  , as_frame =True)
>>> erp_data.head(3)
Out[256]:
   station  longitude  latitude        easting    northing  resistivity
