# Dataset Card for Titanic Survival Prediction

## Dataset Details

### Dataset Description

This dataset is a **copy of the original Kaggle Titanic dataset** made to explore the **Hugging Face Datasets feature**.

The **Titanic Survival Prediction** dataset is widely used in machine learning and statistics. It originates from the **Titanic: Machine Learning from Disaster** competition on [Kaggle](https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/titanic/data). The dataset consists of passenger details from the RMS Titanic disaster, including demographic and ticket-related attributes, with the goal of predicting whether a passenger survived.

- **Curated by:** Kaggle
- **Funded by:** Kaggle
- **Shared by:** Kaggle
- **Language(s) (NLP, if applicable):** English
- **License:** Subject to Competition Rules

### Dataset Sources

- **Repository:** [Kaggle Titanic Competition](https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/titanic/data)
- **Paper [optional]:** None
- **Demo [optional]:** Not applicable

## Uses

### Direct Use

The dataset is primarily used for:
- **Supervised learning**: Predicting survival outcomes based on passenger characteristics.
- **Feature engineering**: Extracting new insights from existing features.
- **Data preprocessing techniques**: Handling missing values, encoding categorical variables, and normalizing data.
- **Benchmarking machine learning models**: Logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, neural networks, etc.

### Out-of-Scope Use

This dataset is not meant for:
- **Real-world survival predictions**: It is based on a historical dataset and should not be used for real-world survival predictions.
- **Sensitive or personally identifiable information analysis**: The dataset does not contain modern personal data but should still be used responsibly.

## Dataset Structure

The dataset consists of three CSV files:
1. **train.csv** (891 entries) – Includes the "Survived" column as labels for training.
2. **test.csv** (418 entries) – Used for evaluation, with missing "Survived" labels.
3. **gender_submission.csv** – A sample submission file assuming all female passengers survived.

### Data Dictionary

| Column     | Description |
|------------|------------|
| PassengerId | Unique ID for each passenger |
| Survived | Survival status (0 = No, 1 = Yes) |
| Pclass | Ticket class (1st, 2nd, 3rd) |
| Name | Passenger name |
| Sex | Gender (male/female) |
| Age | Passenger age |
| SibSp | Number of siblings/spouses aboard |
| Parch | Number of parents/children aboard |
| Ticket | Ticket number |
| Fare | Ticket fare |
| Cabin | Cabin number (if known) |
| Embarked | Port of embarkation (C = Cherbourg, Q = Queenstown, S = Southampton) |

## Dataset Creation

### Curation Rationale

The dataset was created to help users develop predictive models for classification tasks and serves as an entry-level machine learning dataset.

### Source Data

#### Data Collection and Processing

The dataset originates from historical records of the RMS Titanic disaster and has been structured for machine learning purposes. Some entries contain missing values, particularly in **Age** and **Cabin**, requiring imputation or removal.

#### Who are the source data producers?

The dataset is derived from **Titanic passenger records**.

### Annotations

#### Annotation process

The dataset is not annotated beyond the **Survived** label.

#### Who are the annotators?

The survival labels come from historical records.

#### Personal and Sensitive Information

The dataset does not contain sensitive or personally identifiable information.

## Bias, Risks, and Limitations

The dataset represents **historical biases** in survival rates:
- Women and children had a higher chance of survival due to evacuation priorities.
- First-class passengers had a higher survival rate compared to lower-class passengers.
- Some data is **missing or estimated**, particularly age and cabin numbers.

### Recommendations

- **Use fairness metrics** when training models to assess potential biases.
- **Avoid real-world applications** for decision-making, as this is a historical dataset.
