Overview of this book

Extracting valuable business insights is no longer a ‘nice-to-have’, but an essential skill for anyone who handles data in their enterprise. Hands-On Data Analysis with Pandas is here to help beginners and those who are migrating their skills into data science get up to speed in no time. This book will show you how to analyze your data, get started with machine learning, and work effectively with the Python libraries often used for data science, such as pandas, NumPy, matplotlib, seaborn, and scikit-learn. Using real-world datasets, you will learn how to use the pandas library to perform data wrangling to reshape, clean, and aggregate your data. Then, you will learn how to conduct exploratory data analysis by calculating summary statistics and visualizing the data to find patterns. In the concluding chapters, you will explore some applications of anomaly detection, regression, clustering, and classification using scikit-learn to make predictions based on past data. This updated edition will equip you with the skills you need to use pandas 1.x to efficiently perform various data manipulation tasks, reliably reproduce analyses, and visualize your data for effective decision making – valuable knowledge that can be applied across multiple domains.

Implementing supervised anomaly detection

The SOC has finished up labeling the 2018 data, so we should revisit our EDA to make sure our plan of looking at the number of usernames with failures on a minute resolution does separate the data. This EDA is in the 3-EDA_labeled_data.ipynb notebook. After some data wrangling, we are able to create the following scatter plot, which shows that this strategy does indeed appear to separate the suspicious activity:

In the 4-supervised_anomaly_detection.ipynb notebook, we will create some supervised models. This time we need to read in all the labeled data for 2018. Note that the code for reading in the logs is omitted since it is the same as in the previous section:

>>> with sqlite3.connect('logs/logs.db') as conn:
