Data Analysis with Pandas

Pandas is a powerful Python library used for data manipulation and analysis. It provides data structures and data analysis tools that make working with structured data easy and efficient.

Key Features

Data Structures: Pandas provides two main data structures: Series and DataFrame.
Data Loading: It supports loading data from various file formats such as CSV, Excel, JSON, and SQL databases.
Data Cleaning: Pandas offers functions to handle missing data, duplicate data, and data type conversions.
Data Manipulation: You can perform operations like sorting, grouping, merging, and reshaping data.
Data Visualization: Pandas integrates well with visualization libraries like Matplotlib and Seaborn.

Getting Started

To install Pandas, you can use pip:

pip install pandas

Example

Here's a simple example of how to load and manipulate data using Pandas:

import pandas as pd

# Load data
data = pd.read_csv('data.csv')

# Display the first few rows
print(data.head())

# Selecting a column
print(data['column_name'])

# Filtering rows
filtered_data = data[data['column_name'] > 0]

# Grouping and aggregating data
grouped_data = data.groupby('column_name').sum()

# Plotting data
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.figure(figsize=(10, 6))
plt.plot(data['column_name'])
plt.title('Data Plot')
plt.xlabel('X-axis')
plt.ylabel('Y-axis')
plt.show()
