This is the code repository for Learning Python Data Analysis [Video], published by Packt. It contains all the supporting project files necessary to work through the video course from start to finish.
Python features numerous numerical and mathematical toolkits such as: Numpy, Scipy, Scikit learn and SciKit, all used for data analysis and machine learning. With the aid of all of these, Python has become the language of choice for data scientists for data analysis, visualization, and machine learning.
This video aims to teach Python developers how to perform data analysis with the language by taking advantage of the core data science libraries in the Python ecosystem. The learning objective for viewers is to understand how to locate, manipulate, and analyse data with Python, with the ability to analyse large and small sets of data using libraries such as Numpy, pandas, IPython and SciPy.
This is a two part series. The first series is focused on getting and manipulation sizeable amounts of data using modern techniques. The second series is focused on advanced analysis of the data to include modern machine learning techniques.
- Read and write data in text format
- Master concepts involved in interacting with databases
- Master string manipulations on Data Sets
- Practice data aggregation on data sets
- Be proficient in group-wise operations on data sets
- Learn to apply multiple and different functions to dataframe columns
- Implement the concept of exponentially weighted windows
To fully benefit from the coverage included in this course, you will need:
