Data Preprocessing Python 1

Data preprocessing is an important step for cleaning, transforming, and organizing raw data into a suitable format for analysis and modeling. The document provides an example of using Python libraries like NumPy and Pandas to load data, explore it to check for missing values and data types, and handle missing values through dropping rows, filling in values, or replacing with constants. The preprocessed data is then saved as a CSV file.

Data Preprocessing - 1

Using Python

Data preprocessing is an important step in the data analysis and machine learning
pipeline. It involves cleaning, transforming, and organizing raw data into a format
that is suitable for analysis or modeling. Python provides several libraries and
tools to help with data preprocessing, including NumPy, Pandas, and Scikit-
Learn.
Example:
1) Start by importing the necessary libraries for data preprocessing, such as
NumPy and Pandas:

2) Load Dataset

3) Data Exploration
data.head() # View the first few rows of the dataset

data.info() # Get information about the data types and missing values
data.describe() # Summary statistics

data.shape

4) Handle Missing Values

# Check for missing values


missing_values = data.isna().sum()
print(missing_values)
a) Remove Rows with Missing Values

data.dropna(inplace=True) # This will remove rows with any missing values

b) Input Missing Values:

data['column_name'].fillna(data['column_name'].mean(), inplace=True)

c) Replace with Constant Values

data['column_name'].fillna(0, inplace=True)

Save File
data.to_csv("diabetes.csv", index=False)
