Load and return the MegaFon Uplift Competition dataset (classification).

An uplift modeling dataset containing synthetic data generated by telecom companies, trying to bring them closer to the real case that they encountered.

Major columns:

• X_1...X_50 : anonymized feature set

• conversion (binary): target

• treatment_group (str): customer purchasing

Parameters

• data_home (str) – The path to the folder where datasets are stored.

• dest_subdir (str) – The name of the folder in which the dataset is stored.

• download_if_missing (bool) – Download the data if not present. Raises an IOError if False and data is missing.

• return_X_y_t (bool) – If True, returns (data, target, treatment) instead of a Bunch object.

Returns

dataset.

Bunch:

By default dictionary-like object, with the following attributes:

• data (DataFrame object): Dataset without target and treatment.

• target (Series object): Column target by values.

• treatment (Series object): Column treatment by values.

• DESCR (str): Description of the Megafon dataset.

• feature_names (list): Names of the features.

• target_name (str): Name of the target.

• treatment_name (str): Name of the treatment.

Tuple:

tuple (data, target, treatment) if return_X_y is True

Return type

Bunch or tuple

Example:

from sklift.datasets import fetch_megafon


dataset = fetch_megafon()
data, target, treatment = dataset.data, dataset.target, dataset.treatment

# alternative option
data, target, treatment = fetch_megafon(return_X_y_t=True)
