 MODULE 2 : PYTHON FOR DATA SCIENCE

1. INTRODUCTION TO PYTHON

Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language known for its

simplicity, readability, and versatility. Created by Guido van Rossum and first
released in 1991, Python has grown into one of the most popular languages
worldwide. Its design philosophy emphasizes readability and simplicity, making
it accessible for beginners and powerful for advanced users. Python supports
multiple programming paradigms including procedural, object-oriented, and
functional programming.

Python's key features include:

 Interpreted Language: Code is executed line-by-line by an interpreter,

facilitating rapid development and debugging.
 Extensive Standard Library: Provides numerous modules and functions
for diverse tasks without needing external libraries.
 Versatility: Widely used across various domains such as web
development, data science, AI/ML, automation, and scripting.
 Syntax Simplicity: Uses significant whitespace (indentation) to delimit
code blocks, enhancing readability.
 Interactive Mode (REPL): Supports quick experimentation and
prototyping directly in the interpreter.

Example:

DOMAIN USAGE

Python finds application in numerous domains:

 Web Development: Django and Flask are popular frameworks for

building web applications.
 Data Science: NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib facilitate data manipulation,
analysis, and visualization.
15
  AI/ML: TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn are used for developing AI
models and machine learning algorithms.
 Automation and Scripting: Python's simplicity and extensive libraries
make it ideal for automating tasks and writing scripts.

2. BASIC SYNTAX AND VARIABLES

Python's syntax is designed to be clean and easy to learn, using indentation to

define code structure. Variables in Python are dynamically typed, meaning their
type is inferred from the value assigned. This makes Python flexible and reduces
the amount of code needed for simple tasks.

Detailed Explanation:

Python's syntax:

 Uses indentation (whitespace) to define code blocks, unlike languages that

use curly braces {}.
 Encourages clean and readable code by enforcing consistent indentation
practices.

Variables in Python:

 Dynamically typed: You don't need to declare the type of a variable

explicitly.
 Types include integers, floats, strings, lists, tuples, sets, dictionaries, etc.

Example:

16
3. CONTROL FLOW STATEMENTS

Control flow statements in Python determine the order in which statements are
executed based on conditions or loops. Python provides several control flow
constructs:

Detailed Explanation:

1. Conditional Statements (if, elif, else):

o Used for decision-making based on conditions.
o Executes a block of code if a condition is true, otherwise executes
another block.

Example:

Output:

2. Loops (for and while):

 for loop: Iterates over a sequence (e.g., list, tuple) or an iterable object.
 while loop: Executes a block of code as long as a condition is true.

17
 Example:

Output:

Example Explanation:

 Conditional Statements: In Python, if statements allow you to execute

a block of code only if a specified condition is true. The elif and else
clauses provide additional conditions to check if the preceding
conditions are false.
 Loops: Python's for loop iterates over a sequence (e.g., a range of
numbers) or an iterable object (like a list). The while loop repeats a
block of code as long as a specified condition is true.

4. FUNCTIONS

Functions in Python are blocks of reusable code that perform a specific task. They
help in organizing code into manageable parts, promoting code reusability and
modularity.

Detailed Explanation:

1. Function Definition (def keyword):

o Functions in Python are defined using the def keyword followed by
the function name and parentheses containing optional parameters.

18
 o The body of the function is indented.

Example:

2. Function Call:

 Functions are called or invoked by using the function name followed by

parentheses containing arguments (if any).

Example:

3. Parameters and Arguments:

 Functions can accept parameters (inputs) that are specified when the
function is called.
 Parameters can have default values, making them optional.

19
 Example:

Example Explanation:

 Function Definition: Functions are defined using def followed by the

function name and parameters in parentheses. The docstring (optional)
provides a description of what the function does.
 Function Call: Functions are called by their name followed by
parentheses containing arguments (if any) that are passed to the
function.
 Parameters and Arguments: Functions can have parameters with
default values, allowing flexibility in function calls. Parameters are
variables that hold the arguments passed to the function.

5. DATA STRUCTURES

Python provides several built-in data structures that allow you to store and
organize data efficiently. These include lists, tuples, sets, and dictionaries.

Detailed Explanation:

1. Lists:

 Ordered collection of items.

 Mutable (can be modified after creation).
 Accessed using index.

20
 Example:

2. Tuples:

 Ordered collection of items.

 Immutable (cannot be modified after creation).
 Accessed using index.

Example:

3. Sets:

 Unordered collection of unique items.

 Mutable (can be modified after creation).
 Cannot be accessed using index.

Example:

4. Dictionaries:

 Unordered collection of key-value pairs.

 Mutable (keys are unique and values can be modified).
 Accessed using keys.

21
 Example:

Example Explanation:

 Lists: Used for storing ordered collections of items that can be changed or
updated.
 Tuples: Similar to lists but immutable, used when data should not change.
 Sets: Used for storing unique items where order is not important.
 Dictionaries: Used for storing key-value pairs, allowing efficient lookup
and modification based on keys.

6. FILE HANDLING IN PYTHON:

File handling in Python allows you to perform various operations on files, such
as reading from and writing to files. This is essential for tasks involving data
storage and manipulation.

Detailed Explanation:

1. Opening and Closing Files:

 Files are opened using the open() function, which returns a file object.
 Use the close() method to close the file once operations are done.

Example:

22
2. Reading from Files:

 Use methods like read(), readline(), or readlines() to read content from

files.
 Handle file paths and exceptions using appropriate error handling.

Example:

3. Writing to Files:

 Open a file in write or append mode ("w" or "a").

 Use write() or writelines() methods to write content to the file.

Example:

Example Explanation:

 Opening and Closing Files: Files are opened using open() and closed
using close() to release resources.
 Reading from Files: Methods like read(), readline(), and readlines() allow
reading content from files, handling file operations efficiently.
 Writing to Files: Use write() or writelines() to write data into files,
managing file contents as needed.

23
7. ERRORS AND EXCEPTION HANDLING

Errors and exceptions are a natural part of programming. Python provides

mechanisms to handle errors gracefully, preventing abrupt termination of
programs.

Detailed Explanation:

1. Types of Errors:
o Syntax Errors: Occur when the code violates the syntax rules of
Python. These are detected during compilation.
o Exceptions: Occur during the execution of a program and can be
handled using exception handling.
2. Exception Handling:

 Use try, except, else, and finally blocks to handle exceptions.

 try block: Contains code that might raise an exception.
 except block: Handles specific exceptions raised in the try block.
 else block: Executes if no exceptions are raised in the try block.
 finally block: Executes cleanup code, regardless of whether an exception
occurred or not.

Example:

3. Raising Exceptions:

 Use raise statement to deliberately raise exceptions based on specific

conditions or errors.

24
 Example:

Example Explanation:

 Types of Errors: Syntax errors are caught during compilation, while

exceptions occur during runtime.
 Exception Handling: try block attempts to execute code that may raise
exceptions, except block catches specific exceptions, else block executes
if no exceptions occur, and finally block ensures cleanup code runs
regardless of exceptions.
 Raising Exceptions: Use raise to trigger exceptions programmatically
based on specific conditions.

8. OBJECT-ORIENTED PROGRAMMING (OOP) USING PYTHON

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a paradigm that allows you to structure

your software in terms of objects that interact with each other. Python supports
OOP principles such as encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism.

Detailed Explanation:

1. Classes and Objects:

 Class: Blueprint for creating objects. Defines attributes (data) and methods
(functions) that belong to the class.
 Object: Instance of a class. Represents a specific entity based on the class
blueprint.

25
 Example:

2. Encapsulation:

 Bundling of data (attributes) and methods that operate on the data into a
single unit (class).
 Access to data is restricted to methods of the class, promoting data security
and integrity.

3. Inheritance:

 Ability to create a new class (derived class or subclass) from an existing

class (base class or superclass).
 Inherited class (subclass) inherits attributes and methods of the base class
and can override or extend them.

26
 Example:

4. Polymorphism:

 Ability of objects to take on multiple forms. In Python, polymorphism is

achieved through method overriding and method overloading.
 Same method name but different implementations in different classes.

Example:

Example Explanation:

 Classes and Objects: Classes define the structure and behavior of objects,
while objects are instances of classes with specific attributes and methods.
27
  Encapsulation: Keeps the internal state of an object private, controlling
access through methods.
 Inheritance: Allows a new class to inherit attributes and methods from an
existing class, facilitating code reuse and extension.
 Polymorphism: Enables flexibility by using the same interface (method
name) for different data types or classes, allowing for method overriding
and overloading.

PYTHON LIBRARIES FOR DATA SCIENCE

BY), grouping (GROUP BY), and aggregating functions (COUNT, SUM,
AVG) to retrieve specific data subsets.

Example:

4. TYPES OF SQL JOINS

SQL joins are used to combine rows from two or more tables based on a related
column between them. There are different types of joins:

 INNER JOIN:
o Returns rows when there is a match in both tables based on the join
condition.

Example:

 LEFT JOIN (or LEFT OUTER JOIN):

o Returns all rows from the left table (orders), and the matched rows
from the right table (customers). If there is no match, NULL values
are returned from the right side.
34
 Example:

 RIGHT JOIN (or RIGHT OUTER JOIN):

o Returns all rows from the right table (customers), and the matched
rows from the left table (orders). If there is no match, NULL values
are returned from the left side.

Example:

 FULL OUTER JOIN:

o Returns all rows when there is a match in either left table (orders) or
right table (customers). If there is no match, NULL values are
returned from the opposite side.

Example:

Example Explanation:

 INNER JOIN: Returns rows where there is a match in both tables based
on the join condition (customer_id).
 LEFT JOIN: Returns all rows from the left table (orders) and the matched
rows from the right table (customers). Returns NULL if there is no match.
 RIGHT JOIN: Returns all rows from the right table (customers) and the
matched rows from the left table (orders). Returns NULL if there is no
match.

1. Model Performance Evaluation:

o Linear Regression: This basic model provided a foundational
understanding of the relationship between features and sales.
However, its performance was limited due to its inability to capture
non-linear patterns in the data.
o Gradient Boosting: This advanced model significantly improved
prediction accuracy by iteratively correcting errors from previous
models. It captured complex interactions between features but
required careful tuning to avoid overfitting.
o Generalized Additive Models (GAMs): GAMs offered a balance
between interpretability and flexibility, performing well by
modeling non-linear relationships without sacrificing too much
simplicity.

75
 o Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS): MARS
excelled in handling interactions between features and provided
robust performance by fitting piecewise linear regressions.
o Ensemble Techniques (Model Stacking and Model Blending):
By combining predictions from multiple models, ensemble
techniques delivered the best performance. Model stacking, in
particular, improved accuracy by leveraging the strengths of
individual models.
2. Key Findings:
o Feature Importance: Through various models, features such as
item weight, item fat content, and store location were consistently
identified as significant predictors of sales.
o Customer Preferences: Analysis revealed that products with
lower fat content had higher sales in urban stores, indicating a
health-conscious consumer base in these areas.
o Store Performance: Certain stores consistently outperformed
others, suggesting potential areas for targeted marketing and
inventory strategies.

3. Best-Performing Model:

 The ensemble technique, specifically model stacking, emerged as the

best-performing model. It combined the strengths of individual models
(Linear Regression, Gradient Boosting, GAMs, and MARS) to deliver
the highest prediction accuracy and robustness.

Conclusion and Recommendations

Conclusion: The BigMart Sales Forecasting project successfully demonstrated

the application of various data processing, statistical analysis, and machine
learning techniques to predict retail sales. The use of advanced models and
ensemble techniques resulted in highly accurate sales forecasts, providing
valuable insights into product and store performance. The project showcased the
importance of comprehensive data analysis and the effectiveness of combining
multiple predictive models.

Recommendations:

1. Inventory Management:

76
 o Utilize the insights from the sales forecasts to optimize inventory
levels, ensuring high-demand products are adequately stocked to
meet customer needs while reducing excess inventory for low-
demand items.

2. Targeted Marketing:
o Implement targeted marketing strategies based on customer
preferences identified in the analysis. For example, promote low-
fat products more aggressively in urban stores where they are more
popular.

3. Store Performance Optimization:

o Investigate the factors contributing to the success of high-
performing stores and apply these strategies to underperforming
locations. This could involve adjusting product assortments, store
layouts, or local marketing efforts.

4. Continuous Model Improvement:

o Regularly update and retrain the predictive models with new sales
data to maintain accuracy and adapt to changing market trends.
Incorporate additional data sources, such as economic indicators or
customer feedback, for more comprehensive forecasting.

5. Employee Training:
o Train store managers and staff on the use of sales forecasts and
data-driven decision-making. Empowering employees with these
insights can lead to better in-store execution and customer service.
