Data Analysis With Pandas - Introduction To Pandas Cheatsheet - Codecademy PDF

Pandas is a Python library used for data analysis. It imports data into a DataFrame with rows and columns. DataFrames can be created from dictionaries, lists, or CSV files. Specific rows in a DataFrame can be selected using logical operators. New columns can be added to DataFrames. The apply() function transforms each value in a column or row by applying a function.

Introduction to Pandas
Pandas
Pandas is an open source library that is used to analyze data in Python. It takes in
data, like a CSV or SQL database, and creates an object with rows and columns
called a data frame. Pandas is typically imported with the alias pd .

import pandas as pd

Pandas DataFrame creation


The fundamental Pandas object is called a DataFrame. It is a 2-dimensional size-
mutable, potentially heterogeneous, tabular data structure.
A DataFrame can be created multiple ways. It can be created by passing in a
dictionary or a list of lists to the pd.DataFrame() method, or by reading data from a
CSV file.

# Ways of creating a Pandas DataFrame


# Passing in a dictionary:
data = {'name':['Anthony', 'Maria'], 'age':[30, 28]}
df = pd.DataFrame(data)

# Passing in a list of lists:


data = [['Tom', 20], ['Jack', 30], ['Meera', 25]]
df = pd.DataFrame(data, columns = ['Name', 'Age'])

# Reading data from a csv file:


df = pd.read_csv('students.csv')

Selecting Pandas DataFrame rows using logical operators


In pandas, specific rows can be selected if they satisfy certain conditions using
Python’s logical operators. The result is a DataFrame that is a subset of the original
DataFrame.
Multiple logical conditions can be combined with OR (using | ) and AND (using & ),
and each condition must be enclosed in parentheses.

# Selecting rows where age is over 20


df[df.age > 20]

# Selecting rows where name is not John


df[df.name != "John"]

# Selecting rows where age is less than 10


# OR greater than 70
df[(df.age < 10) | (df.age > 70)]

Pandas DataFrames adding columns


Pandas DataFrames allow for the addition of columns after the DataFrame has
already been created, by using the format df['newColumn'] and setting it equal to the
new column’s value.

# Specifying each value in the new column:


df['newColumn'] = [1, 2, 3, 4]

# Setting each row in the new column to the same value:


df['newColumn'] = 1

# Creating a new column by doing a


# calculation on an existing column:
df['newColumn'] = df['oldColumn'] * 5

Pandas apply() function


The Pandas apply() function can be used to apply a function on every value in a
column or row of a DataFrame, and transform that column or row to the resulting
values.
By default, it will apply a function to all values of a column. To perform it on a row
instead, you can specify the argument axis=1 in the apply() function call.

# This function doubles the input value


def double(x):
return 2*x

# Apply this function to double every value in a specified column


df.column1 = df.column1.apply(double)

# Lambda functions can also be supplied to `apply()`


df.column2 = df.column2.apply(lambda x : 3*x)

# Applying to a row requires it to be called on the entire DataFrame


df['newColumn'] = df.apply(lambda row:
row['column1'] * 1.5 + row['column2'],
