Last updated 10 days ago

Use the CarryOverColumns constraint when you have the same columns in different tables, and the values of those columns have to match up according to a key (ID) column.

Constraint API

This functionality is in Beta. At this time, select SDV Enterprise users have been invited to use this feature.

Create a CarryOverColumns constraint

Parameters:

  • (required) common_column_info: A list of dictionaries that describe all the columns within your dataset that are carried over. Each dictionary should have the following keys:

    • table_name: The name of the table that contains the column

    • carryover_column_name: The name of the column that is repeated across your dataset

    • key_column_name: The name of the column to use as the key for the carried over column. Must be a PII or ID sdtype.

Please supply 2 or more columns for this constraint.

from sdv.cag import CarryOverColumns

my_constraint = CarryOverColumns(
    common_column_info=[{
        'table_name': 'Account',
        'carryover_column_name': 'Type',
        'key_column_name': 'ID'
    }, {
        'table_name': 'Transaction',
        'carryover_column_name': 'Type',
        'key_column_name': 'Account ID'
    }]
)

Usage

Apply the constraint to any SDV synthesizer. Then fit and sample as usual.

synthesizer = HSASynthesizer(metadata)
synthesizer.add_cag([my_constraint])

synthesizer.fit(data)
synthetic_data = synthesizer.sample()

Make sure that all the tables and columns you provide are in your .

Metadata

❖ SDV Enterprise Bundle. This feature is available as part of the CAG Bundle, an optional add-on to SDV Enterprise. For more information, please visit the page.

CAG Bundle
The 'Type' column is carried over based on the ID/Account ID information.
