Guess which coding scheme or name field contains a collection of values.

def guess_field(codes: Any, min_similarity: float = 80)

Description

Compares the unique supplied values with every field in the built-in countrycode dictionary and ranks fields by their match percentage.

Arguments

`codes`	Country codes or country names. Scalars and iterable inputs accepted by `countrycode` are supported.
`min_similarity`	Minimum percentage of unique, non-missing values that must occur in a field for that field to be returned.

Value

A list of dictionaries sorted by decreasing match percentage. Each dictionary contains "code" and "percent_of_unique_matched". Returns an empty list when no non-missing values are supplied or no field meets the threshold.
