        AutoNormalize is a Python library for automated datatable normalization, intended for use with [Featuretools](https://github.com/Featuretools/featuretools). AutoNormalize allows you to build an `EntitySet` from a single denormalized table and generate features for machine learning.

        ### Install
        ```shell
        pip install featuretools[autonormalize]
        ```
        ### Uninstall
        ```shell
        pip uninstall autonormalize
        ```
        <br />
        
        ### API Reference
        
        #### `auto_entityset`
        ```shell
        auto_entityset(df, accuracy=0.98, index=None, name=None, time_index=None)
        ```
        Creates a normalized entityset from a dataframe.
        
        **Arguments:**
        
        * `df` (pd.Dataframe) : the dataframe containing data
        
        * `accuracy` (0 < float <= 1.00; default = 0.98) : the accuracy threshold required in order to conclude a dependency (i.e. with accuracy = 0.98, 0.98 of the rows must hold true the dependency LHS --> RHS)
        
        * `index` (str, optional) : name of column that is intended index of df
        
        * `name` (str, optional) : the name of created EntitySet
        
        * `time_index` (str, optional) : name of time column in the dataframe.
        
        **Returns:**
        
        * `entityset` (ft.EntitySet) : created entity set
        
        <br />
        
        #### `find_dependencies`
        
        ```shell
        find_dependencies(df, accuracy=0.98, index=None)
        ```
        Finds dependencies within dataframe with the DFD search algorithm.
        
        **Returns:**
        
        *  `dependencies` (Dependencies) : the dependencies found in the data within the contraints provided
        
        <br />
        
        #### `normalize_dataframe`
        
        ```shell
        normalize_dataframe(df, dependencies)
        ```
        Normalizes dataframe based on the dependencies given. Keys for the newly created DataFrames can only be columns that are strings, ints, or categories. Keys are chosen according to the priority: 
        1) shortest lenghts 
        2) has "id" in some form in the name of an attribute 
        3) has attribute furthest to left in the table
        
        **Returns:**
        * `new_dfs` (list[pd.DataFrame]) : list of new dataframes
        
        <br />
        
        #### `make_entityset`
        
        ```shell
        make_entityset(df, dependencies, name=None, time_index=None):
        ```
        Creates a normalized EntitySet from dataframe based on the dependencies given. Keys are chosen in the same fashion as for `normalize_dataframe`and a new index will be created if any key has more than a single attribute.
        
        **Returns:**
        * `entityset` (ft.EntitySet) : created EntitySet
