## 🔧 Dataset Configurations

## ⚠️ Known Limitations
|
| 111 |
-
|
| 112 |
-
### 1. **Missing Star/Fork Data (Pre-2020)**
|
| 113 |
-
- **100% of 2013-2019 entries** lack star/fork counts
|
| 114 |
-
- Only **67.8% of dataset** has popularity metrics
|
| 115 |
-
- **Impact:** Cannot compare absolute popularity for historical projects
|
| 116 |
-
|
| 117 |
-
### 2. **Uneven Temporal Distribution**
|
| 118 |
-
- Snapshot frequency: **1 to 31 per month** (31x variance)
|
| 119 |
-
- 2019-2020 heavily over-represented
|
| 120 |
-
- **Impact:** Monthly scores favor periods with more snapshots
|
| 121 |
-
|
| 122 |
-
### 3. **Star Count Timing Inconsistency**
|
| 123 |
-
- Star counts are "maximum ever recorded" across all snapshots
|
| 124 |
-
- A 2015 project's stars might be from 2025 scraping
|
| 125 |
-
- **Impact:** Can't fairly compare popularity across eras
|
| 126 |
-
|
| 127 |
-

## 📈 Data Quality by Era

-
| **2020-2025** | Excellent | ✅ 100% | High | **A-** |
|
| 135 |
-
|
