    Study Notes

    Python for Data Analysis

    • Python is crucial for data analysis due to its powerful libraries and tools.
    • Key aspects of Python's role in data analysis include data manipulation, visualization, and statistical analysis.
    • Libraries like NumPy and Pandas offer efficient data structures and functions for handling large datasets.
    • Common tasks include data cleaning, filtering, sorting, merging, reshaping, and aggregation.

    Python Libraries for Data Analysis

    • NumPy: Provides multidimensional arrays and matrices, with functions for mathematical and statistical operations.

    • NumPy is fundamental for numerical computing in Python.

    • It significantly improves performance through vectorization.

    • SciPy: A collection of algorithms for linear algebra, differential equations, numerical integration, optimization, statistics and more.

    • A part of the SciPy Stack.

    • It builds on NumPy and provides advanced mathematical functions needed for scientific computing.

    • Pandas: Adds data structures and tools for working with table-like data, similar to R's data frames.

    • Introduces Series and DataFrame data structures.

    • Provides tools for data manipulation (reshaping, merging, sorting, slicing, aggregation).

    • Offers functions and methods for data cleaning and transformation.

    • Useful for handling missing data.

    • Scikit-Learn: Provides machine learning algorithms (classification, regression, clustering, model validation).

    • Built on NumPy, SciPy, and matplotlib.

    • Offers a consistent API and supports various data formats, making machine learning accessible.

    • Matplotlib: A 2D plotting library that creates publication-quality figures (static, animated, interactive visualizations).

    • Provides a MATLAB-like interface for customizing plots.

    • Seaborn: A statistical data visualization library built on Matplotlib.

    • Offers a high-level interface for creating attractive and informative statistical graphics.

    • Simplifies the creation of complex visualizations.

    • Similar in style to ggplot2 in R.

    • TensorFlow and PyTorch: Powerful deep learning libraries that support building and training neural networks.

    • Crucial for high-performance GPU computing.

    • Common in image recognition, natural language processing, and recommender systems.

    Jupyter Notebooks

    • Jupyter notebooks enable interactive coding and data analysis.

    DataFrames

    • attributes:

      • dtypes: Column data types
      • columns: Column names
      • axes: Row and column labels

    • methods:

      • head() / tail(): First and last rows in the DataFrame.
      • describe(): Descriptive statistics for numeric columns.
      • max()/min(): Maximum/minimum values for all numerical columns.
      • mean()/median(): Mean and median for numerical columns.
      • std(): Standard deviation
      • sample(): Random sample of data from DataFrame
      • dropna(): Dropping rows with missing values

    DataFrames: Selecting Columns

    • Method 1: Subset the DataFrame by using column name. Example: df['sex']
    • Method 2: Use column name as an attribute. Example: df.sex

    DataFrames: Grouping

    • groupby(): Splits data into groups based on criteria, enables further calculations on each group.

    DataFrames: Filtering

    • Boolean indexing/filtering: Selects rows that match specific conditions e.g., df[df['salary'] > 120000] for rows where salary is above $120,000.

    DataFrames: Slicing

    • Several methods to subset dataframes including selecting single or multiple rows and/or columns, by position or label for slicing.
      • iloc uses integer position
      • loc uses index labels

    DataFrames: Sorting

    • sort_values(): Sorts data frame by values in specified column(s), ascending or descending order.

    Missing Values

    • Missing values in Python datasets are represented by NaN.
    • Methods for handling missing values
      • dropna(): Removes rows/columns with missing values
      • fillna(): Replaces missing values with a specified value (e.g., 0).
    • Grouping operations ignore missing values

    Aggregation in Pandas

    • agg(): Computes summary statistics (e.g., min, max, mean) within groups.
    • Aggregating values with groupby().
    • Other functions for aggregation include count, sum, prod, mean, median, mode, mad, std, var (these work on groups or individual columns)

    Basic Descriptive Statistics

    • describe(): Comprehensive descriptive statistics for the data frame.. Minimum and maximum values, mean, median, etc.

    Data Visualization with Seaborn

    • To show graphics within Jupyter Notebooks include %matplotlib inline.

    Additional Statistical Analysis

    • statsmodels: Primarily used for regular statistical analysis (in R-like style) including regressions and Hypothesis tests
    • scikit-learn: More tailored for machine learning tasks (this includes kmeans, support vector machines, and random forests)

    Summary

    • Python's versatility, libraries, and strong community support make it a go-to choice for data analysis tasks.
    • Pandas provides functions for efficiently cleaning, transforming, and preparing data.
