Explore broadcasting in NumPy and pandas, where adding a scalar or another series aligns by index and yields NaN where overlaps exist.
Explore summary statistics on a pandas series using mean, max, median, and describe. Learn how value_counts summarizes categorical data and how percentiles and quantiles customize describe results.
This lecture shows how pandas series handle duplicates using duplicated and masks, explores keep options (first, last, false), and contrasts iloc versus loc with duplicate indices.
Learn to plot a pandas series in Jupyter with a plotting library, using inline plots, importing plt, and choosing bar, histogram, box, or pie plots while customizing axis labels.
Explore data distributions by creating histograms and box plots to reveal frequency and outliers, then transpose dataframes to inspect and slice data.
Learn to filter dataframes in pandas by building boolean masks and applying predicate functions, including custom is_prime logic, and compare with built-in vectorized operations for cleaner, faster filtering.
Learn how pandas serializes and reads json with to_json and read_json, converts dates with convert_dates and to_datetime, and exports to excel using to_excel and read_excel.
Explore plotting with pandas and matplotlib to create histograms, box plots, and scatter matrices from a csv dataset. Tweak layouts and filter columns for year and position insights.
Create vector-ready svg graphics from Python plots using seaborn and matplotlib, exporting figures for vector editors like Inkscape, Illustrator, or Sketch, and visualize deaths, locations, triggers, elevations, slopes, and aspects.
