Peruvian Personal Numbers

Introduction

The function clean_pe_cui() cleans a column containing Peruvian personal number (CUI) strings, and standardizes them in a given format. The function validate_pe_cui() validates either a single CUI strings, a column of CUI strings or a DataFrame of CUI strings, returning True if the value is valid, and False otherwise.

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

• compact: only number strings without any seperators or whitespace, like “10117410”

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

• ruc: convert the number to a valid RUC, like “10101174102”.

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_pe_cui() and validate_pe_cui().

An example dataset containing CUI strings

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
df = pd.DataFrame(
    {
        "cui": [
            "10117410",
            "10117410-3",
            '7542011030',
            '7552A10004',
            '8019010008',
            "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

	cui	address

1. Default clean_pe_cui

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

from dataprep.clean import clean_pe_cui
clean_pe_cui(df, column = "cui")

	cui	address	cui_clean
0	10117410	123 Pine Ave.	10117410
1	10117410-3	main st	NaN
2	7542011030	1234 west main heights 57033	NaN
3	7552A10004	apt 1 789 s maple rd manhattan	NaN
4	8019010008	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

4. validate_pe_cui()

validate_pe_cui() returns True when the input is a valid CUI. Otherwise it returns False.

The input of validate_pe_cui() 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_pe_cui() only returns the validation result for the specified column. If user doesn’t specify the column name, validate_pe_cui() returns the validation result for the whole DataFrame.

from dataprep.clean import validate_pe_cui
print(validate_pe_cui('10117410'))
print(validate_pe_cui('10117410-3'))
print(validate_pe_cui('7542011030'))
print(validate_pe_cui('7552A10004'))
print(validate_pe_cui('8019010008'))
print(validate_pe_cui("hello"))
print(validate_pe_cui(np.nan))
print(validate_pe_cui("NULL"))
