The Pandas Workshop

Overview of this book

The Pandas Workshop will teach you how to be more productive with data and generate real business insights to inform your decision-making. You will be guided through real-world data science problems and shown how to apply key techniques in the context of realistic examples and exercises. Engaging activities will then challenge you to apply your new skills in a way that prepares you for real data science projects. You’ll see how experienced data scientists tackle a wide range of problems using data analysis with pandas. Unlike other Python books, which focus on theory and spend too long on dry, technical explanations, this workshop is designed to quickly get you to write clean code and build your understanding through hands-on practice. As you work through this Python pandas book, you’ll tackle various real-world scenarios, such as using an air quality dataset to understand the pattern of nitrogen dioxide emissions in a city, as well as analyzing transportation data to improve bus transportation services. By the end of this data analytics book, you’ll have the knowledge, skills, and confidence you need to solve your own challenging data science problems with pandas.

Solution 1.1

Perform the following steps to complete the activity:

  1. Open a new Jupyter notebook and select the Pandas_Workshop kernel.
  2. Import pandas and random into your notebook:

    Store1.head()

    Note

    Please change the path of the dataset file (highlighted) based on where you have downloaded it in your system.

You should get the following output:

Figure 15.1 – Sales figures of the first store

  1. Similarly, load the DataFrame for Store2:
    Store2 = pd.read_csv('../Datasets/Store2.csv')
    Store2.head()

    Note

    Please change the path of the dataset file (highlighted) based on where you have downloaded it in your system.
