Welcome to the advanced Python data analysis tutorial! This guide will help you master complex data processing techniques using Python. 📊💻
Key Libraries for Data Analysis
Here are the essential libraries you'll need:
- Pandas: For data manipulation and analysis
- NumPy: For numerical computations
- Matplotlib & Seaborn: For data visualization
Advanced Techniques
1. Data Aggregation & Grouping
Use groupby()
to perform complex aggregations.
For example:
df.groupby('category').mean()
2. Time Series Analysis
Work with datetime data using Pandas:
df['date'] = pd.to_datetime(df['date'])
df.set_index('date', inplace=True)
3. Data Cleaning
Handle missing values and outliers effectively:
- Fill missing data:
df.fillna(method='ffill')
- Remove duplicates:
df.drop_duplicates()
