Overview
 

Pandas is a Python package providing fast, flexible, and expressive data structures designed to make working with 'relational' or 'labeled' data both easy and intuitive. It enables doing practical, real world data analysis in Python.

In this workshop, we'll work with example data and go through the various steps you might need to prepare data for analysis.

We plan to cover:

  • pandas data structures
  • loading data
  • subsetting and filtering
  • calculating summary statistics
  • dealing with missing values
  • merging data sets
  • creating new variables
  • basic plotting
  • exporting data

This workshop assumes basic familiarity with the Python programming language. New to Python? Consider attending D-Lab's Python Fundamentals series.

Be sure to install Python before the workshop starts - this can take up to an hour to complete (link below).
