Data Analysis with Pandas

Comprehensive Guide with Explanations


and Examples
Introduction

• Pandas is a Python library for data


manipulation and analysis. It provides data
structures such as Series and DataFrame
to handle structured data efficiently.
Pandas Data Structures: Series

• A Series is a one-dimensional labeled


array that can hold any data type.

• Example:
• import pandas as pd
• data = [10, 20, 30, 40]
• series = pd.Series(data)
• print(series)
Selecting Elements in Series

• Elements in a Series can be accessed


using index labels or positions.

• Example:
• print(series[0]) # Access first element
• print(series[:2]) # Access first two
elements
Pandas Data Structures: DataFrame

• A DataFrame is a two-dimensional table


with labeled rows and columns.

• Example:
• import pandas as pd
• data = {'Name': ['Alice', 'Bob'], 'Age': [25,
30]}
• df = pd.DataFrame(data)
• print(df)
Selecting Elements in DataFrame

• Rows and columns in a DataFrame can be


accessed using labels or indices.

• Example:
• print(df.loc[0, 'Name']) # Access first row,
Name column
• print(df.iloc[1, 1]) # Access second row,
second column
Index Objects

• Pandas index objects help label rows and


columns in Series and DataFrame.

• Example:
• df.index = ['Row1', 'Row2']
• print(df)
Data Loading

• Pandas provides methods to read and


write different file formats like CSV, Excel,
and JSON.

• Example:
• df = pd.read_csv('data.csv')
• print(df.head())
Data Cleaning and Preparation

• Pandas allows handling missing values,


removing duplicates, and replacing values.
• Example:
• df.dropna(inplace=True) # Remove
missing values
• df.drop_duplicates(inplace=True) #
Remove duplicate rows
• df['Column'] =
df['Column'].replace('old_value',
'new_value') # Replace values
Data Aggregation and Grouping

• Pandas enables grouping data and


applying aggregation functions like sum
and mean.

• Example:
• df.groupby('Category').sum()
