v2 - Load Data¶

Progress¶

  🟡 STEP 1: Load Data              ← NEW IN THIS VERSION
  ⬜ STEP 2: Split Train/Test
  ⬜ STEP 3: Create Pipeline
  ⬜ STEP 4: Train Pipeline
  ⬜ STEP 5: Evaluate & Metrics
  ⬜ STEP 6: Save Pipeline
  ⬜ STEP 7: Save Metrics JSON

What's New¶

File	Change
`utils/data_utils.py`	Implemented `load_data()` - reads CSV into DataFrame
`utils/__init__.py`	Exports `load_data`
`p3_01_train_model_baseline.py`	Added STEP 1: calls `load_data()`

New Function¶

# utils/data_utils.py
def load_data(filepath='data/credit_card_transactions_latest.csv'):
    """Load the credit card transactions dataset."""
    df = pd.read_csv(filepath)
    return df

How to Run¶

cd v2_load_data_ccfd-project/

# PRE-REQUISITE: Generate data first
python p1_01_generate_initial_dataset.py

# Run training script
python p3_01_train_model_baseline.py

Expected Output:

STEP 1: Loading Data
Loaded 10,000 transactions from data/credit_card_transactions_latest.csv

Next Version¶
