    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.
