Dataset Hints at Extra Columns—Are We Missing Data?
Data · 14 Jan 2025, 16:52 · 6

Hi everyone,

I came across something puzzling while going through the AWS recourses GitHub repo for this challenge. There seem to be references to additional data points that aren't included in the provided dataset. For instance, I've noticed mentions of age group (three times), as well as indicators like toilet quality assessments and infrastructure quality metrics.

Am I missing something here? Do we indeed have access to the full dataset, or are these additional indicators omitted? Could @Zindi kindly confirm whether we have all the columns intended for this challenge?

Also, I’m curious to know if other participants have noticed this as well.

Thanks in advance for clarifying!

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "it". Can you elaborate?
