dataset-quality-audit
A data quality auditing tool that runs 12-dimension quality checks on tabular data, producing per-dimension scores (0–100), an overall grade, and actionable fix suggestions.
Capabilities
| Dimension | Description |
|---|---|
| Missing Values | Count and percentage of null/NaN values per column |
| Duplicate Rows | Number and percentage of fully duplicated rows |
| Type Consistency | Mixed types within a single column (e.g., numbers mixed with text) |
| Value Range / Outliers | Outlier detection using the IQR method |
| Format Compliance | Consistency of date, email, phone number, and other formatted fields |
| Uniqueness Constraints | Whether ID-type columns contain duplicates |
| Whitespace Issues | Leading/trailing spaces, empty strings, whitespace-only values |
| Constant Columns | Columns with only a single unique value (zero information) |
| Distribution Skewness | Whether numeric columns have excessive skewness |
| Column Naming | Spaces, special characters, or inconsistent casing in column names |
| Cardinality Anomalies | Unusually high or low number of unique values |
| Cross-Column Consistency | Logical checks across columns (e.g., start date before end date) |
Quick Start
# Basic quality check
python3 scripts/data_quality_checker.py data.csv
# Save report as JSON
python3 scripts/data_quality_checker.py data.csv --output report.json
# Specify ID columns (for uniqueness checks)
python3 scripts/data_quality_checker.py users.csv --id-columns "user_id,email"
# Specify date columns (for format checks)
python3 scripts/data_quality_checker.py orders.csv --date-columns "created_at,updated_at"Detailed Usage
