Single Table API

The Single Table Quality Report evaluates how well your synthetic data captures mathematical properties in your data.
Use this report when you have a single table of data.
Usage
Generating the report
QualityReport()
Create your report object by importing it from the single table reports module.
from sdmetrics.reports.single_table import QualityReport
​
report = QualityReport()
generate(real_data, synthetic_data, metadata)
Generate your report by passing in the data and metadata.
(required) real_data: A pandas.DataFrame containing the real data
(required) synthetic_data: A pandas.DataFrame containing the synthetic data
(required) metadata: A dictionary describing the format and types of data. See Single Table Metadata for more details.
verbose: A boolean describing whether or not to print the report progress and results. Defaults to True. Set this to False to run the report silently.
report.generate(real_data, synthetic_data, metadata)
Once completed, some preliminary scores will be printed out.

(1/2) Evaluating Column Shapes: : 100%|██████████| 17/17
(2/2) Evaluating Column Pair Trends: : 100%|██████████| 136/136
​
Overall Quality Score: 80.5%
​
Properties:
- Column Shapes: 82.0%
- Column Pair Trends: 79.0%
Getting & explaining the results 
Every score that the report generates ranges from 0 (worst) to 1 (best)
get_score()
Use this method at any point to retrieve the overall score. 
Returns: A floating point value between 0 and 1 that summarizes the quality of your synthetic data.
report.get_score()
0.8049999999999999
get_properties()
Use this method at any point to retrieve each property that the report evaluated
Returns: A pandas.DataFrame that lists each property name and its associated score
report.get_properties()
Property                Score
Column Shapes           0.8278
Column Pair Trends      0.7872
get_details(property_name)
Use this method to get more details about a particular property.
(required) property_name: A string with the name of the property, either 'Column Shapes' or 'Column Pair Trends'
Returns: A pandas.DataFrame that returns more details about the property
For example, the details for 'Column Shapes' shows the name of each individual column, the metric that was used to compute it and the overall score for that column. 
report.get_details(property_name='Column Shapes')
Column          Metric             Score
second_perc     KSComplement       0.627907 
salary          KSComplement       0.869155
gender          TVComplement       0.939535
...    
Visualizing the report
You can visualize the properties and use the SDMetrics utilities to visualize the raw data too.
get_visualization(property_name)
Use this method to visualize the details about a property. 
(required) property_name: A string with the name of the property, either 'Column Shapes' or 'Column Pair Trends'
Returns: A plotly.Figure object
fig = report.get_visualization(property_name='Column Shapes')
fig.show()
The exact visualization is based on the property. For example, 'Column Shapes' property visualizes the quality score for every column as well as the metric used to compute it.
Other visualizations are available! Use the SDMetrics Visualization Utilities to get more insights into your data.

Tip: All visualizations returned in this report are interactive. If you're using an iPython notebook, you can zoom, pan, toggle legends and take screenshots.
Saving & loading the report
You can save your report if you want to share or access it in the future.
save(filepath)
Save the Python report object
(required) filepath: The name of file to save the object. This must end with .pkl
report.save(filepath='results/quality_report.pkl')
The report does not save the full real and synthetic datasets, but it does save the metadata along with the score for each property, breakdown and metric.
The score information may still leak sensitive details about your real data. Use caution when deciding where to store the report and who to share it with.
QualityReport.load(filepath)
Load the report from the file
(required) filepath: The name of the file where the report is stored
Returns: A QualityReport object.
from sdmetrics.reports.single_table import QualityReport
​
report = QualityReport.load('results/quality_report.pkl')
FAQs
What is the best way to see the visualizations? Can I save them?
This report returns all visualizations as plotly.Figure object, which are integrated with most iPython notebooks (eg. Colab, Jupyter)
Tip! You can interact with the visualizations when you're viewing them in a notebook. You can zoom, pan and take screenshots.
It's also possible to programmatically save a static image export. See the Plotly Guide for more details.
