We regularly encounter empty fields in data records. It's best that we accept this and learn how to handle this kind of issue in a robust manner. Real data can not only have gaps, it can also have wrong values because of faulty measuring equipment, for example. In pandas, missing numerical values will be designated as NaN, objects as None, and the datetime64 objects as NaT. The outcome of arithmetic operations with NaN values is NaN as well. Descriptive statistics methods, such as summation and average, behave differently. As we observed in an earlier example, in such a case, NaN values are treated as zero values. However, if all the values are NaN during summation, for example, the sum returned is still NaN. In aggregation operations, NaN values in the column that we group are ignored. We will again load the WHO_first9cols.csv file into a DataFrame. Recall that this file contains empty fields. Let's only select the first three rows, including the headers of the Country...
