General Info

The module was originally created to preprocess data from the EA Sports’ FIFA 19 for a Machine Learning project to predict players’ wages by regression. Therefore it contains functions that can be universally used for data preprocessing but also functions that are made specifically with the FIFA 19 data set in mind.

Acknowledgements

This project was created to use FIFA 19 data set, containing information about players in the game. It is strongly advised to use the same dataset to use this module to its full potential. The data set is shared by Karan Gadiya on https://www.kaggle.com/karangadiya/fifa19.

The data set is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License, which makes it unconvenientto include it in the package, because it would strongly constrain the possibilities to use this package.

Technologies and Dependencies

The module was written in Python 3.6 and requires ‘pandas’ to be installed in used environment.

Required libraries:

• math
• pandas

Math library comes with a python distribution, pandas, on the other hand, has to be installed to run fifa_preprocessing. To install pandas with pip:

$ pip install pandas

Installation

fifa_preprocessing can be easily installed with pip:

$ pip install fifa-preprocessing

Functions

The module consists of data preprocessing functions:

• Removing goalkeepers from data frame
• Data type converters
• Reformatting data
• spliting columns
• Converting to dummy variables
• Default preprocessing function for FIFA 19 data set

Documentation

Full documantation of fifa_preprocessing can be found on its readthedocs website.
