DataRecycler

"Information is the oil of the 21st century, and analytics is the combustion engine."
โ€” Peter Sondergaard (Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo, October 2011).

The intelligent collection, cleaning, processing and visualization of data is an indispensable process for the efficient, precise, productive and sharp self-criticism of any project.

This project seeks to be a tool to reuse a database without compromising its sensitive data, maintaining magnitudes, data types and mathematical relationships between columns in order to have better control over the degree of randomization.

Current options

POSIXct

# ! Use POSIXct to manipulate date and time in seconds like 2023-12-31 23:59:59

# ! The code is adapted in case you will use more than one time zone

# * Verify if the class is POSIXct

DateTimeColumns <- c('DateTimeUTC', 'DateTimeLocal') # Replace column names

VerifyPOSIXct <- lapply(dataset[DateTimeColumns], class)

VerifyPOSIXct # The result should be "POSIXct" "POSIXt" for 2023-12-31 23:59:59

# * Transform them to POSIXct

convertToPOSIXct <- function(dataframe, columns) {
  for (col in columns) {
    if (!inherits(dataframe[[col]], "POSIXct")) {
      dataframe[[col]] <- as.POSIXct(dataframe[[col]],
                                     format = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
    }
  }
  return(dataframe)
}

dataset <- convertToPOSIXct(dataset, c('DateTimeUTC', 'DateTimeLocal'))

Dates

# * Randomize the entire date, specify some values
# * and randomize the rest, or specify everything

# The function allows us to randomize without losing the sequence of the data

Future work

  • Local UX/UI.
  • Connection with SQL Databases.
  • Connection to GPT API key to randomize qualitative data.
