In Python, If there is a duplicate, use the date column to choose the what duplicate to use

I have code that runs 16 test cases against a CSV, checking for anomalies from poor data entry. A new column, 'Test case failed,' is created. A number corresponding to which test it failed is added to this column when a row fails a test. These failed rows are separated from the passed rows; then, they are sent back to be corrected before they are uploaded into a database.

There are duplicates in my data, and I would like to add code to check for duplicates, then decide what field to use based on the date, selecting the most updated fields.

Here is my data with two duplicate IDs, with the first row having the most recent Address while the second row has the most recent name.

ID MnLast MnFist MnDead? MnInactive? SpLast SpFirst SPInactive? SpDead Addee Sal Address NameChanged AddrChange
123 Doe John No No Doe Jane No No Mr. John Doe Mr. John 123 place 05/01/2022 11/22/2022
123 Doe Dan No No Doe Jane No No Mr. John Doe Mr. John 789 road 11/01/2022 05/06/2022

Here is a snippet of my code showing the 5th testcase, which checks for the following: Record has Name information, Spouse has name information, no one is marked deceased, but Addressee or salutation doesn't have "&" or "AND." Addressee or salutation needs to be corrected; this record is married.

import pandas as pd 
import numpy as np

data = pd.read_csv("C:/Users/file.csv", encoding='latin-1' )

# Create array to store which test number the row failed
data['Test Case Failed']= ''
data = data.replace(np.nan,'',regex=True)
data.insert(0, 'ID', range(0, len(data)))

# There are several test cases, but they function primarily the same
# Testcase 1
# Testcase 2
# Testcase 3
# Testcase 4

# Testcase 5 - comparing strings in columns
df = data[((data['FirstName']!='') & (data['LastName']!='')) & 
              ((data['SRFirstName']!='') & (data['SRLastName']!='') &
              (data['SRDeceased'].str.contains('Yes')==False) & (data['Deceased'].str.contains('Yes')==False) 
              )]
df1 = df[df['PrimAddText'].str.contains("AND|&")==False] 
data_5 = df1[df1['PrimSalText'].str.contains("AND|&")==False] 
ids = data_5.index.tolist()

# Assign 5 for each failed
for i in ids:
  data.at[i,'Test Case Failed']+=', 5'


# Failed if column 'Test Case Failed' is not empty, Passed if empty
failed = data[(data['Test Case Failed'] != '')]
passed = data[(data['Test Case Failed'] == '')]


failed['Test Case Failed'] =failed['Test Case Failed'].str[1:]
failed = failed[(failed['Test Case Failed'] != '')]

# Clean up
del failed["ID"]
del passed["ID"]

failed['Test Case Failed'].value_counts()

# Print to console 
print("There was a total of",data.shape[0], "rows.", "There was" ,data.shape[0] - failed.shape[0], "rows passed and" ,failed.shape[0], "rows failed at least one test case")

# output two files
failed.to_csv("C:/Users/Failed.csv", index = False)
passed.to_csv("C:/Users/Passed.csv", index = False)

What is the best approach to check for duplicates, choose the most updated fields, drop the outdated fields/row, and perform my test?

ValueError: X has 10 features, but LinearRegression is expecting 1 features as input

So, I am trying to predict the model but its throwing error like it has 10 features but it expacts only 1. So I am confused can anyone help me with it? more importantly its not working for me when my friend runs it. It works perfectly fine dose anyone know the reason about it? cv = KFold(n_splits = 10) all_loss = [] for i in range(9): # 1st for loop over polynomial orders poly_order = i X_train = make_polynomial(x, poly_order) loss_at_order = [] # initiate a set to collect loss for CV for train_index, test_index in cv.split(X_train): print('TRAIN:', train_index, 'TEST:', test_index) X_train_cv, X_test_cv = X_train[train_index], X_test[test_index] t_train_cv, t_test_cv = t[train_index], t[test_index] reg.fit(X_train_cv, t_train_cv) loss_at_order.append(np.mean((t_test_cv - reg.predict(X_test_cv))**2)) # collect loss at fold all_loss.append(np.mean(loss_at_order)) # collect loss at order plt.plot(np.log(al...

Sorting large arrays of big numeric stings

I was solving bigSorting() problem from hackerrank: Consider an array of numeric strings where each string is a positive number with anywhere from to digits. Sort the array's elements in non-decreasing, or ascending order of their integer values and return the sorted array. I know it works as follows: def bigSorting(unsorted): return sorted(unsorted, key=int) But I didnt guess this approach earlier. Initially I tried below: def bigSorting(unsorted): int_unsorted = [int(i) for i in unsorted] int_sorted = sorted(int_unsorted) return [str(i) for i in int_sorted] However, for some of the test cases, it was showing time limit exceeded. Why is it so? PS: I dont know exactly what those test cases were as hacker rank does not reveal all test cases. source https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73007397/sorting-large-arrays-of-big-numeric-stings
