Study Notes
Importing pandas and data manipulation
- Use
import pandas as pd
to correctly import the pandas library in Python.
Viewing data in a DataFrame
- To access the last two rows of a DataFrame, apply the
tail(2)
method. - Use
head(3)
to view the first three rows of a DataFrame.
Calculating means
- To find the mean of prices in a DataFrame, use the
mean()
function on the relevant column. - Specifically, for a dataset of houses, the mean price can be obtained by applying
mean()
to the price column.
Working with CSV files
- Utilize
pd.read_csv('filename.csv')
to read a CSV file into a DataFrame. - Save data to a new CSV file with the
to_csv('new_filename.csv')
function, allowing for data export and sharing.
Data visualization
- Scatter plots utilize markers such as 'o' (circle), 's' (square), and '^' (triangle) to represent data points visually.
Linear regression model insights
- In a linear regression model, the coefficient of x represents the slope/gradient, indicating how much the dependent variable changes with a unit change in x.
- The
predict()
function in a linear regression context is used to estimate the dependent variable based on the regression model and input features.
