1. Preprocessing Data: Part I

The data received from different sources can be messy, and to use it in the future, you must ensure it is convenient. In the first section, you will learn what data preprocessing is and will deal with some logical inconsistencies.

What is Data Preprocessing?

Types consistency

Poor Data Presentation

Manipulating Strings

Replacing Specific Elements

Simultaneous Replacement

2. Preprocessing Data: Part II

Missing or NA values, outliers, and inconsistencies are other types of problematic data. Throughout the second section of the course, you will learn how to deal with such issues.

Logical Inconsistency

Filling NA values

3. Grouping Data

As a data analyst, you will need to draw compact conclusions based on large amounts of data. In order to achieve that, you need to understand the data grouping idea and how to apply it to examples.

What is Grouping Data?

Grouping in pandas [1/2]

Grouping in pandas [2/2]

Grouping by Several Columns

4. Aggregating and Visualizing Data

Sometimes one built-in function is not enough to draw a complete conclusion, so you need to use something more complex. This section will teach you how to apply multiple functions while grouping. Also, you will learn to visualize data using the pandas library only and will be acquainted with the main plot types. As a data analyst, you will need to draw compact conclusions based on large amounts of data. In order to achieve that, you need to understand the data grouping idea and how to apply it to examples.

Advanced Aggregation [1/2]

Advanced Aggregation [2/2]

Bar and Scatter Plots

Other Types of Graphs

5. Joining Data

As mentioned before, sometimes you may need to work with data received from multiple sources. This section will teach you how to join two dataframes using different techniques.

What is Joining Data?

Simultaneous Replacement

The method described in the previous chapter allows you to replace specific values in one column 'manually'. But we need to perform replacements in 4 columns, which means we need to repeat the actions at least 3 more times.

However, pandas predicted that task, too. Let's consider the method that allows to perform replacement for all dataframe columns.

Explanation: condition is the first parameter, if True, then keeps original values, if False, then replaces them by values specified in the other parameter. inplace - if True, then rewrites the data. If you want to 'revert' the condition to opposite, place the ~ symbol in front of it. For instance, let's replace all the zeros with the word null.

As you can see, there are many 'null's appeared in the dataframe. If you remove the ~ symbol within the .where() method, then all values but 0 will be replaced to 'null'.
