# Automating Data Preprocessing
Shortly **ADP** is now a Python Library and you can use it by just installing using the following commands

```pip install autodatap```

And will install the package into you system

## Purpose of autodatap:

- to help you in data preprocessing

to know how can you use it:

- import the package

```import autodatap as adp```

### The main function in autodatap package is mainMethod so,

```adp.mainMethod("link to data set")```

and that's it, everything is done, you are good to go.

Now everything you will be doing will be in console (run)

### Currently supported funcitons

- Categorical Values (One-Hot-Encoding)

- Normalization

- Check for Imbalanced Data

- Null values finder and filling with 0 (in future with mean)

- dropping duplicate


## Categorical Values (One-Hot-Encoding):
So, Categorical values are those values which may have to are more values of same class, if we look at the example below

Let's say we have gender class which is a categorical variable because it has 2 or more values (male, female etc)
  example1
------------
|  gender  |
|----------|
|  male    |
|  female  |
|  male    |
|  female  |
------------

now as machine learning only except numerical values it does not support string values, we have to convert it from string to numerical values

so achieve that we have to (or more) option either we have to give custom values by replace function 

```data.replace("male",1,inplace=True)```

or we can use builtin function like **label encoding** and **One-Hot-Encoding**.

in this library we are achieving this functionality using **One-Hot-Encoding**.

so, the above example could be like

-----------------
|  gender_male  |
|---------------|
|       1       |
|       0       |
|       1       |
|       0       |
-----------------

-------and---------

------------------
| gender_female  |
|----------------|
|       0        |
|       1        |
|       0        |
|       1        |
------------------

## how to use:
To use this function you have to write the exact column name the step of preprocessing like

```[u'name', u'age', u'class', u'code']```

in the above code the coulmn name should be **u'name'**
