Data Management

BAMT is designed to hadle three types of data:

1. disc - discrete data (e.g. some sort of categorical data), python data types:

['str', 'O', 'b', 'categorical', 'object', 'bool']

1. disc_num - discrete numerical data, python data types: ['int32', 'int64']

2. cont - continuous data (e.g. some sort of numerical data), python data types: ['float32', 'float64]

If, for example, your data set contains a pd.Series of integers, but these integers are actually categories, you should consider converting them to strings. This is because BAMT will treat them as disc_num data, which may not be what you want. The same applies to floats, which will be treated as cont data.
