Pandas is one of the most popular Python libraries, used for data analysis and manipulation. It is commonly used in data science, machine learning and artificial intelligence. This comprehensive course introduces you to the basics of data analysis with the Pandas library. You'll begin by working with two primary data structures in Pandas, Series and DataFrame. Then you will see how to read data from a file and explore input data using indexing and filtering. At this point, you are ready to start data preprocessing. You will see how to handle missing values and duplicate rows, and to transform your data into a more efficient format. Next, you'll discover how to manipulate the data and do some processing.
Finally, you'll delve into creating simple plots to visualize your data. Upon completion of this course, you will have a firm grasp of one of the most popular, easy to use, open-source Python libraries, enabling you to work with large quantities of data. you'll be able to harness its fast and efficient data manipulation, aggregation, and pivoting, flexible time series functionality, and more. You don't need any previous Pandas experience, but since Pandas is a package built for Python, you need to have a fundamental understanding of basic Python syntax.
