    Study Notes

    Python Programming for Business Analytics - Week 4, Lecture 1

    • Course: BMAN73701
    • Topic: Tabular Data (Pandas) and Data Visualization
    • Professor: Manuel López-Ibáñez
    • Agenda: Introduction to Pandas, Data Visualization, Matplotlib and Pandas, Matplotlib detail, Programming Visualizations
    • Pandas: A Python library for tabular data manipulation and analysis; strong support for time series and visualization
    • Pandas Website: http://pandas.pydata.org/
    • Pandas Documentation: http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/
    • DataFrame: Tabular data structure in Pandas; columns have names (labels), rows have names (index); index is generated if not provided

    Creating DataFrames

    • From a list: Create a DataFrame from a list of lists, specifying column names
    • Example: data = [['a', 1], ['b', 2]], pd.DataFrame(data, columns = ['model', 'price'])
    • From a dictionary: Create a DataFrame from a dictionary where keys are column names and values are lists
    • Example: data = {'model': ['a', 'b'], 'price': [1, 2]} ,pd.DataFrame(data)

    Reading and Writing Data

    • CSV (Comma Separated Values): Import and export data in CSV format
    • Example: import pandas as pd, df = pd.read_csv('filename.csv'), df.to_csv('filename.csv')
    • Excel: Read and write from/to Excel files

    DataFrame Indexing and Slicing

    • df[ ]: Access columns by name
    • df[start:stop]: Slice rows by integer positions; same as df.tail() using negative indices
    • df.iloc[ ]: Access rows, columns by integer positions
    • df.loc[ ]: Access rows, columns by labels; labels are the row names(index)

    Boolean Indexing

    • df[boolean_expression]: Selects rows where the condition is True
    • Example: df[(df['Temperature'] > 90)], df[(df['Temperature'] > 80) & (df['Temperature'] < 90)]

    Data Transformation

    • df.pop('column_name'): Removes a column; returns removed column
    • df.insert(position, 'column_name', value): Inserts a removed column; position 0 is the first position
    • pd.concat( ): Combines DataFrames horizontally(axis = 1) or vertically(axis = 0).

    Data Type Conversion

    • Use pd.to_datetime() to convert 'Date' column to datetime type

    Numerical Operations

    • df[column].apply(function): Applies function to each element in a column. Example: apply element-wise multiplication to two columns

    Functions on Columns

    • df.mean()/df.mean(axis = 'columns'): Calculates mean across rows or columns (reduction function)
    • df.abs(): Returns absolute values of elements in the DataFrame
    • df.apply(): Applies an arbitrary function on the DataFrame. E.g., df.apply(pow2) (apply the pow2 function to column in the DataFrame)

    Sorting and Sampling

    • **df.sort_values(by='column'): **Sorts data based on the values in a column
    • df.sort_index()/df.sample(n): Sorts by the row indices or randomly selects 'n' rows

    Visualization with Matplotlib and Pandas

    • df.plot()/df.plot.scatter()/df.plot.bar()/df.plot.box(): Generates line plots, scatter plots, bar plots, boxplots
    • plt.style.use('ggplot'): Sets a plotting style to make the visualization look prettier
