About this ebook
Take the next steps in your data science career! This friendly and hands-on guide shows you how to start mastering Pandas with skills you already know from spreadsheet software.
In Pandas in Action you will learn how to:
Import datasets, identify issues with their data structures, and optimize them for efficiency
Sort, filter, pivot, and draw conclusions from a dataset and its subsets
Identify trends from text-based and time-based data
Organize, group, merge, and join separate datasets
Use a GroupBy object to store multiple DataFrames
Pandas has rapidly become one of Python's most popular data analysis libraries. In Pandas in Action, a friendly and example-rich introduction, author Boris Paskhaver shows you how to master this versatile tool and take the next steps in your data science career. You’ll learn how easy Pandas makes it to efficiently sort, analyze, filter and munge almost any type of data.
