Study Notes
Pandas Library for Data Handling
- Pandas is a specialized library for data analysis and processing.
- It handles data reading and writing from external files (like CSV).
- I/O API functions manage data input/output.
- Data reading functions (readers):
read_csv
,read_excel
,read_hdf
,read_sql
,read_json
,read_html
,read_stata
,read_clipboard
- Data writing functions (writers):
to_csv
,to_excel
,to_hdf
,to_sql
,to_json
,to_html
,to_stata
,to_clipboard
Reading CSV Files using Pandas
read_csv()
function is used to access data from CSV files.- It retrieves data in DataFrame format.
Pandas DataFrame to CSV
to_csv()
method converts a DataFrame to a CSV file.- By default, it exports with row index as the first column and comma as the delimiter.
Reading Excel Files using Pandas
read_excel()
function reads data from Excel files.- By default, it reads the first sheet.
sheet_name
parameter specifies the sheet.- Other parameters:
header
,skiprows
,usecols
,nrows
Writing DataFrame to Excel
to_excel()
function writes a DataFrame to an Excel file.sheet_name
parameter sets the sheet name.index=False
avoids writing the index column (0)startrow
,startcol
control specific positions for writing data.
Central Tendency Measures
- Pandas provides functions for statistical calculations (mean, median, mode, std).
Mean
mean()
calculates the arithmetic mean (average).
Median
median()
computes the middle value after sorting data.
Mode
mode()
finds the most frequent value(s).
Standard Deviation
std()
measures the dispersion of values around the mean.
Pandas describe()
describe()
function displays basic statistics like percentiles, mean, std, etc.- Output differs for string data series.
Variance (var())
var()
function calculates the variance of data.
DataFrame Head (head())
head()
displays the first n rows (default is 5).
DataFrame Tail (tail())
tail()
displays the last n rows (default is 5).
Selecting Columns
- Access columns by name (
df['column_name']
) or specifying the column names (df[['column1', 'column2']]
).
loc
- Selects data by labels (index labels and column labels).
iloc
- Selects data by integer-based positions (row and column indices).
to_numpy()
- Converts DataFrame or Series to a NumPy array.
- This function returns a new NumPy array, separate from the original Pandas object.
- Important to be cautions with large dataframes as memory consumption can be significant.
