Validation rule

As explained in Starting Data Analytics with Generative AI and Python

A validation rule is a defined condition that data must satisfy to be considered acceptable.

How Starting Data Analytics with Generative AI and Python covers it

How deep it goes

Defines upfront expectations, checks types and cross-table consistency, then revises rules after exploratory analysis.

Examples

Uses expected ranges, distribution deviations, data-type checks, and missing foreign-key relationships between order and payment tables.

What it assumes

Assumes dataset and domain knowledge for distinguishing typical values, while permitting uncertain boundaries to use deviations or percentiles.

What you can do after

Apply it via dataframe checks to flag unexpected values, investigate anomalies, and correct or handle violations.

How it connects

Connects domain knowledge, data types, exploratory data analysis, and foreign-key consistency.
