Estonian KMKR Numbers

Introduction

The function clean_ee_kmkr() cleans a column containing Estonian KMKR number (KMKR) strings, and standardizes them in a given format. The function validate_ee_kmkr() validates either a single KMKR strings, a column of KMKR strings or a DataFrame of KMKR strings, returning True if the value is valid, and False otherwise.

KMKR strings can be converted to the following formats via the output_format parameter:

• compact: only number strings without any seperators or whitespace, like “100931558”

• standard: KMKR strings with proper whitespace in the proper places. Note that in the case of KMKR, the compact format is the same as the standard one.

Invalid parsing is handled with the errors parameter:

• coerce (default): invalid parsing will be set to NaN

• ignore: invalid parsing will return the input

• raise: invalid parsing will raise an exception

The following sections demonstrate the functionality of clean_ee_kmkr() and validate_ee_kmkr().

An example dataset containing KMKR strings

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
df = pd.DataFrame(
    {
        "kmkr": [
            'EE 100 931 558',
            '100594103',
            'BE 428759497',
            'BE431150351',
            "002 724 334",
            "hello",
            np.nan,
            "NULL",
        ],
        "address": [
            "123 Pine Ave.",
            "main st",
            "1234 west main heights 57033",
            "apt 1 789 s maple rd manhattan",
            "robie house, 789 north main street",
            "1111 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA 90015",
            "(staples center) 1111 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles",
            "hello",
        ]
    }
)
df

	kmkr	address
0	EE 100 931 558	123 Pine Ave.
1	100594103	main st
2	BE 428759497	1234 west main heights 57033

1. Default clean_ee_kmkr

By default, clean_ee_kmkr will clean kmkr strings and output them in the standard format with proper separators.

from dataprep.clean import clean_ee_kmkr
clean_ee_kmkr(df, column = "kmkr")

	kmkr	address	kmkr_clean
0	EE 100 931 558	123 Pine Ave.	100931558
1	100594103	main st	NaN
2	BE 428759497	1234 west main heights 57033	NaN
3	BE431150351	apt 1 789 s maple rd manhattan	NaN
4	002 724 334	robie house, 789 north main street	NaN
5	hello	1111 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA 90015	NaN
6	NaN	(staples center) 1111 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles	NaN
7	NULL	hello	NaN

2. Output formats

This section demonstrates the output parameter.

standard (default)

clean_ee_kmkr(df, column = "kmkr", output_format="standard")

	kmkr	address	kmkr_clean
0	EE 100 931 558	123 Pine Ave.	100931558
1	100594103	main st	NaN
2	BE 428759497	1234 west main heights 57033	NaN
3	BE431150351	apt 1 789 s maple rd manhattan	NaN
4	002 724 334	robie house, 789 north main street	NaN
5	hello	1111 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA 90015	NaN
6	NaN	(staples center) 1111 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles	NaN
7	NULL	hello	NaN

compact

clean_ee_kmkr(df, column = "kmkr", output_format="compact")

	kmkr	address	kmkr_clean
0	EE 100 931 558	123 Pine Ave.	100931558
1	100594103	main st	NaN
2	BE 428759497	1234 west main heights 57033	NaN

This deletes the given column from the returned DataFrame. A new column containing cleaned KMKR strings is added with a title in the format "{original title}_clean".

clean_ee_kmkr(df, column="kmkr", inplace=True)

	kmkr_clean	address
0	100931558	123 Pine Ave.
1	NaN	main st
2	NaN	1234 west main heights 57033

6	NaN	(staples center) 1111 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles	NaN
7	NULL	hello	NaN

4. validate_ee_kmkr()

validate_ee_kmkr() returns True when the input is a valid KMKR. Otherwise it returns False.

The input of validate_ee_kmkr() can be a string, a Pandas DataSeries, a Dask DataSeries, a Pandas DataFrame and a dask DataFrame.

When the input is a string, a Pandas DataSeries or a Dask DataSeries, user doesn’t need to specify a column name to be validated.

When the input is a Pandas DataFrame or a dask DataFrame, user can both specify or not specify a column name to be validated. If user specify the column name, validate_ee_kmkr() only returns the validation result for the specified column. If user doesn’t specify the column name, validate_ee_kmkr() returns the validation result for the whole DataFrame.

from dataprep.clean import validate_ee_kmkr
print(validate_ee_kmkr("EE 100 931 558"))
print(validate_ee_kmkr("100594103"))
print(validate_ee_kmkr('BE 428759497'))
print(validate_ee_kmkr('BE431150351'))
print(validate_ee_kmkr("004085616"))
print(validate_ee_kmkr("hello"))
print(validate_ee_kmkr(np.nan))
print(validate_ee_kmkr("NULL"))
