Understanding
Pandas will allow you
to manipulate and
analyze data
efficiently, enabling
you to derive insights
quickly and prepare
data for advanced
analysis.
Core
Pandas Concepts
Here is what we’ll cover:

1. DataFrames and Series


2. Data Selection and Filtering
3. Data Cleaning and Transformation
4. Merging and Joining DataFrames
5. Aggregation and Grouping
6. Working with Dates and Times
DataFrames and Series
Pandas' core structures allow for powerful data
manipulation and analysis.

1 40 1 /about 1 /about 40

2 10 2 /contact 2 /contact 10

3 90 3 /projects 3 /projects 90
Data Selection and
Filtering
Use .loc[] to filter data by row and column names
or conditions, and .iloc[] to filter data by row and
column numbers.

Data Cleaning and
Transformation

Handle missing data with functions like:

fillna() to replace NaNs.


dropna() to remove NaNs.
apply() and map() for transformations.

Pandas simplifies the process of preparing your


data for analysis.
Merging and Joining
DataFrames
Combine datasets using:

merge() for relational joins.


concat() to concatenate DataFrames.
join() for combining on index.

Pandas provides powerful functions to work with


multiple datasets.
Aggregation and
Grouping
Summarize data with:

groupby() to group data based on one or more


columns.
Aggregation functions like mean(), sum(), count(), etc.

Working with Dates
and Times
Pandas supports powerful time series
functionality:

to_datetime() for converting strings to


datetime objects.
resample() for time-based groupings.
