Study Notes

Anaconda

  • Anaconda is a software distribution, designed to simplify package management for Python and R programming languages.
  • It is used for scientific computing.
  • The distribution contains data science packages compatible with Windows, Linux, and macOS.

Pandas

  • Pandas is an open-source data analysis and manipulation tool.
  • It's built on top of the Python programming language.
  • It is a Python library used to work with data sets.
  • Pandas offers functionalities to analyze, clean, explore, and manipulate data.
  • The name Pandas combines "Panel Data" and "Python Data Analysis," and was created by Wes McKinney in 2008.
  • It enables analyzing large datasets and drawing statistical conclusions.
  • Pandas excels in cleaning messy data, making it readable and relevant.

NumPy

  • NumPy is a Python library for working with arrays.
  • It offers functions for linear algebra, Fourier transforms, and matrices.
  • It's a comprehensive library that extends Python's capabilities for numerical computation.
  • It supports multi-dimensional arrays and matrices.
  • It has a vast collection of mathematical functions for numerical operations.

Pandas - Series

  • A Series is a one-dimensional labeled array capable of holding data of any type (integer, string, float, Python objects, etc.).
  • Can hold various data types.
  • Creates labeled data which makes data analysis more organized and readable.
  • Allows to perform various operations like indexing, sorting, and filtering.
  • Can be used to represent different kinds of statistical data.

NumPy - Creating Arrays

  • NumPy arrays are created using the numpy.array() function.
  • The function takes an array-like structure as input.
  • Input could be lists, tuples, or other NumPy arrays.
  • Arrays can be multi-dimensional (e.g., rows and columns).
  • They can be used for mathematical computations and data analysis.
