featuretools.demo.load_flight

featuretools.demo.load_flight(month_filter=None, categorical_filter=None, nrows=None, demo=True, return_single_table=False, verbose=False)[source]

Download, clean, and filter flight data from 2017. The original dataset can be found here.

Parameters
  • month_filter (list[int]) – Only use data from these months (example is [1, 2]). To skip, set to None.

  • categorical_filter (dict[str->str]) – Use only specified categorical values. Example is {'dest_city': ['Boston, MA'], 'origin_city': ['Boston, MA']} which returns all flights in OR out of Boston. To skip, set to None.

  • nrows (int) – Passed to nrows in pd.read_csv. Used before filtering.

  • demo (bool) – Use only two months of data. If False, use the whole year.

  • return_single_table (bool) – Exit the function early and return a dataframe.

  • verbose (bool) – Show a progress bar while loading the data.
