Course Description
Advanced Techniques for Exploring Data Sets with Pandas
Global Edulink
OVERVIEW
Pandas is a popular Python library that is used for data analysis and data manipulation purposes. It makes working with data very easy and intuitive as it provides fast, flexible and expressive data frames for data analysis purposes with Python. Having a good grip on the advanced aspects of this library will prove worthwhile in your data science career, which is why we have developed this course to educate you on everything you need to know on Pandas to enhance your data analysis activities using it.
This course will start off by exploring how to read data from CSV based datasets, excel datasets and other kinds of datasets into pandas. You will then be guided on the techniques and methods that are used to select a subset of data in pandas, along with an insight into the various methods and techniques that can be used to sort and filter the imported data. You will also get to learn on how to use the “axis” parameter, multiple filter criteria and the string methods on pandas’ data.
This course will then enlighten you on how to manipulate, transform and reshape data that is read into pandas data frame as per your requirements using various methods and techniques. You will also be tutored on how to effectively visualize data by getting started with plots, control plot aesthetics, plot colour palettes and seaborn. By the end of this course, you will have an outstanding knowledge on the pandas library to excel in your data analysis and manipulation activities.
