Getting Started With Graph Analysis in Python With Pandas and Networkx

This document provides a tutorial on how to perform graph analysis in Python using Pandas and NetworkX. It demonstrates how to create a graph from a Pandas dataframe by connecting individuals who share the same phone number. The data is cleaned to remove duplicate and self connections. The cleaned data is then used to construct a graph object in NetworkX, which can be analyzed using various graph algorithms.
