Analyzing Data Using Pandas

The document provides an overview of the Python Pandas library, which is used for manipulating relational or labeled data through its primary data structures: Series and DataFrame. It explains how to create a Pandas Series from various data types such as arrays and lists, and demonstrates accessing elements within a Series. Additionally, it includes examples of creating Series and accessing data using indexing methods.

Analyzing Data Using Pandas

Python Pandas Is used for relational or labeled data and provides various
data structures for manipulating such data and time series. This library is
built on top of the NumPy library. This module is generally imported as:

import pandas as pd

Pandas generally provide two data structures for manipulating data, They
are:
 Series
 Dataframe

Pandas Series is a one-dimensional labeled array capable of holding data


of any type (integer, string, float, python objects, etc.).
Pandas Series is nothing but a column in an excel sheet.

Pandas Series Examples


# import pandas as pd

import pandas as pd

# simple array

data = [1, 2, 3, 4]

ser = pd.Series(data)

print(ser)

Output:
0 1
1 2
2 3
3 4
dtype: int64

Creating a Pandas Series


Pandas Series can be created from the lists, dictionary, and from a scalar
value etc. Series can be created in different ways, here are some ways by
which we create a series:
Creating a series from array: In order to create a series from array, we
have to import a numpy module and have to use array() function.
# import pandas as pd

import pandas as pd

# import numpy as np

import numpy as np

# simple array

data = np.array(['V','J','T','I'])

ser = pd.Series(data)

print(ser)

Output:
0 V

1 J

2 T

3 I

dtype: object

Creating a series from Lists :


import pandas as pd

# a simple list

list = ['V', 'J', 'T', 'I']

# create series form a list

ser = pd.Series(list)

print(ser)
Output:
0 V

1 J

2 T

3 I

Accessing Element from Series with Position


# import pandas and numpy

import pandas as pd

import numpy as np

# creating simple array

data = np.array(['V','J','T','I','D',’A’,’T', 'A'])

ser = pd.Series(data)

#retrieve the first element

print(ser[:4])

Output:
0 V

1 J

2 T

3 I

# import pandas lib as pd

import pandas as pd

# read by default 1st sheet of an excel file

dataframe1 = pd.read_excel('VJTI_DEPT.xlsx')

ser = pd.Series(df['NAME'])

print(dataframe1)

data
# using indexing operator

data[1:4]

Indexing a Series using .loc[ ] :


data.loc[1:4]

# using .iloc[] function

data.iloc[1:4]
