 Input Output with Pandas
 Getting Info about Data
 DataFrame slicing, selecting, extracting
 Visualization with Pandas
Introduction
 Pandas has so many uses that it might make sense to list the things it
can't do instead of what it can do.
 This tool is essentially your data’s home. Through pandas, you get
acquainted with your data by cleaning, transforming, and analyzing
it.
Introduction
 For example, say you want to explore a dataset stored in a CSV on your
computer. Pandas will extract the data from that CSV into a Data Frame — a
table, basically — then let you do things like:
 Calculate statistics and answer questions about the data, like
 What's the average, median, max, or min of each column?
 Does column A correlate with column B?
 What does the distribution of data in column C look like?
 Clean the data by doing things like removing missing values and filtering rows or columns by
some criteria
 Visualize the data with help from Matplotlib. Plot bars, lines, histograms, bubbles, and more.
 Store the cleaned, transformed data back into a CSV, other file or database
Pandas data structures
 Pandas deals with the following three data structures:
 Series
 DataFrame
 Panel
Series
 A pandas Series can be created using the following constructor −
 pandas.Series( data, index, dtype, copy)
DataFrame
 A pandas DataFrame can be created using various inputs like −
 Lists
 dict
 Series
 Numpy ndarrays
 Another DataFrame
Input Output with Pandas
Getting Info about Data
 Getting info about your data
 .info()
 .shape()
 Handling duplicates
 .drop_duplicates()
 Column cleanup
 .columns
 .rename()
DataFrame slicing, selecting, extracting
 Selecting Data by column
 .loc[“column_name”] locates by name
 .iloc[“numerical index”] locates by numerical index
