Pandas and DataFrames

In this lesson we will be exploring data analysis using Pandas.

  • College Board talks about ideas like
    • Tools. "the ability to process data depends on users capabilities and their tools"
    • Combining Data. "combine county data sets"
    • Status on Data"determining the artist with the greatest attendance during a particular month"
    • Data poses challenge. "the need to clean data", "incomplete data"
  • From Pandas Overview -- When working with tabular data, such as data stored in spreadsheets or databases, pandas is the right tool for you. pandas will help you to explore, clean, and process your data. In pandas, a data table is called a DataFrame.

Cleaning Data

When looking at a data set, check to see what data needs to be cleaned. Examples include:

  • Missing Data Points
  • Invalid Data
  • Inaccurate Data

Run the following code to see what needs to be cleaned

'''Pandas is used to gather data sets through its DataFrames implementation'''
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_json('files/grade.json')

print(df)
# What part of the data set needs to be cleaned?
# The strings inside the df need to be cleaned
# From PBL learning, what is a good time to clean data?  Hint, remember Garbage in, Garbage out?

Extracting Info

Take a look at some features that the Pandas library has that extracts info from the dataset

DataFrame Extract Column

print(df[['GPA']])

print()

#try two columns and remove the index from print statement
print(df[['Student ID','GPA']].to_string(index=False))

DataFrame Sort

print(df.sort_values(by=['GPA']))

print()

#sort the values in reverse order
print(df.sort_values(by=['GPA'], ascending=False))

DataFrame Selection or Filter

print(df[df.GPA > 3.00])
   Student ID Year in School   GPA
0         123             12  3.57
1         246             10  4.00
3         469             11  3.45
4         324         Junior  4.75
5         313             20  3.33
7         167             10  3.90
8         235      9th Grade  3.15
10        469             11  3.45

DataFrame Selection Max and Min

print(df[df.GPA == df.GPA.max()])
print()
print(df[df.GPA == df.GPA.min()])

Create your own DataFrame

Using Pandas allows you to create your own DataFrame in Python.

Python Dictionary to Pandas DataFrame

import pandas as pd

#the data can be stored as a python dictionary
dict = {
  "calories": [420, 380, 390, 500],
  "duration": [50, 40, 45, 60]
}
#stores the data in a data frame
print("-------------Dict_to_DF------------------")
df = pd.DataFrame(dict)
print(df)

print("----------Dict_to_DF_labels--------------")

#or with the index argument, you can label rows.
df = pd.DataFrame(dict, index = ["day1", "day2", "day3", "day4"])
print(df)

Examine DataFrame Rows

print("-------Examine Selected Rows---------")
#use a list for multiple labels:
print(df.loc[["day1", "day3"]])

#refer to the row index:
print("--------Examine Single Row-----------")
print(df.loc["day1"])

Pandas DataFrame Information

  • Gives analytics on data
print(df.info())

Example of larger data set

Pandas can read CSV and many other types of files, run the following code to see more features with a larger data set

import pandas as pd

#read csv and sort 'Duration' largest to smallest
df = pd.read_csv('files/data.csv').sort_values(by=['Duration'], ascending=False)

print("--Duration Top 10---------")
print(df.head(10))

print("--Duration Bottom 10------")
print(df.tail(10))

APIs are a Source for Writing Programs with Data

3rd Party APIs are a great source for creating Pandas Data Frames.

  • Data can be fetched and resulting json can be placed into a Data Frame
  • Observe output, this looks very similar to a Database
'''Pandas can be used to analyze data'''
import pandas as pd
import requests

def fetch():
    '''Obtain data from an endpoint'''
    url = "https://flask.nighthawkcodingsociety.com/api/covid/"
    fetch = requests.get(url)
    json = fetch.json()

    # filter data for requirement
    df = pd.DataFrame(json['countries_stat'])  # filter endpoint for country stats
    print(df.loc[0:5, 'country_name':'deaths']) # show row 0 through 5 and columns country_name through deaths
    
fetch()

Hack Helpers

Here is how Mort started on this assignment by asking ChatGPT ... Regarding Python Pandas, what are some data sets that would be good for learning Pandas?

  • There are many data sets that are suitable for learning pandas, depending on your interests and the skills you want to develop. Here are some suggestions:- Titanic Dataset: This is a classic dataset for data analysis and machine learning, and is often used as an introduction to pandas. The dataset contains information about passengers on the Titanic, including their demographics, ticket class, and survival status.

    • Iris Dataset: This is another classic dataset that is often used in machine learning and data analysis courses. The dataset contains information about iris flowers, including their sepal length, sepal width, petal length, and petal width.

    • NBA Player Stats: This dataset contains information about NBA players, including their stats for various games, their positions, and their salaries. It is a great dataset for learning how to clean and manipulate data using pandas.

    • Housing Prices Dataset: This dataset contains information about housing prices in a particular city or region, including variables such as the number of bedrooms, square footage, and price. It is a great dataset for learning how to manipulate and analyze numerical data using pandas.

    • COVID-19 Dataset: This dataset contains information about the COVID-19 pandemic, including the number of cases, deaths, and recoveries in various countries and regions. It is a great dataset for learning how to manipulate and analyze time-series data using pandas.

    • World Bank Dataset: This dataset contains information about economic indicators from various countries, such as GDP, population, and poverty rates. It is a great dataset for learning how to manipulate and analyze large datasets using pandas.

  • These are just a few examples of the many datasets that are suitable for learning pandas. The best dataset for you will depend on your interests and the specific skills you want to develop.

    Follow up question, "where can I find Titanic data set?"

  • The Titanic dataset is a popular dataset for data analysis and machine learning, and it can be found on various websites and data repositories. Here are a few places where you can find the Titanic dataset:- Kaggle: The Titanic dataset is available on Kaggle, which is a popular platform for data scientists and machine learning enthusiasts. You can download the dataset from the Kaggle website after creating an account.

    • UCI Machine Learning Repository: The Titanic dataset is also available on the UCI Machine Learning Repository, which is a collection of datasets that are commonly used for machine learning research. You can download the dataset from the UCI Machine Learning Repository website.

    • Seaborn library: If you have the Seaborn library installed in your Python environment, you can load the Titanic dataset directly from the library using the following code:

      import seaborn as sns
      titanic_data = sns.load_dataset('titanic')
      

Titanic Data

Look at a sample of data.

import seaborn as sns
# Load the titanic dataset
titanic_data = sns.load_dataset('titanic')

print("Titanic Data")


print(titanic_data.columns) # titanic data set

print(titanic_data[['survived','pclass', 'sex', 'age', 'sibsp', 'parch', 'class', 'fare', 'embark_town']]) # look at selected columns

Use Pandas to clean the data. Most analysis, like Machine Learning or even Pandas in general like data to be in standardized format. This is called 'Training' or 'Cleaning' data.

# Preprocess the data
from sklearn.preprocessing import OneHotEncoder


td = titanic_data
td.drop(['alive', 'who', 'adult_male', 'class', 'embark_town', 'deck'], axis=1, inplace=True)
td.dropna(inplace=True)
td['sex'] = td['sex'].apply(lambda x: 1 if x == 'male' else 0)
td['alone'] = td['alone'].apply(lambda x: 1 if x == True else 0)

# Encode categorical variables
enc = OneHotEncoder(handle_unknown='ignore')
enc.fit(td[['embarked']])
onehot = enc.transform(td[['embarked']]).toarray()
cols = ['embarked_' + val for val in enc.categories_[0]]
td[cols] = pd.DataFrame(onehot)
td.drop(['embarked'], axis=1, inplace=True)
td.dropna(inplace=True)

print(td)

The result of 'Training' data is making it easier to analyze or make conclusions. In looking at the Titanic, as you clean you would probably want to make assumptions on likely chance of survival.

This would involve analyzing various factors (such as age, gender, class, etc.) that may have affected a person's chances of survival, and using that information to make predictions about whether an individual would have survived or not.

  • Data description:- Survival - Survival (0 = No; 1 = Yes). Not included in test.csv file. - Pclass - Passenger Class (1 = 1st; 2 = 2nd; 3 = 3rd)

    • Name - Name
    • Sex - Sex
    • Age - Age
    • Sibsp - Number of Siblings/Spouses Aboard
    • Parch - Number of Parents/Children Aboard
    • Ticket - Ticket Number
    • Fare - Passenger Fare
    • Cabin - Cabin
    • Embarked - Port of Embarkation (C = Cherbourg; Q = Queenstown; S = Southampton)
  • Perished Mean/Average

print(titanic_data.query("survived == 0").mean())
survived       0.000000
pclass         2.464072
sex            0.844311
age           31.073353
sibsp          0.562874
parch          0.398204
fare          24.835902
alone          0.616766
embarked_C     0.185629
embarked_Q     0.038922
embarked_S     0.775449
dtype: float64
  • Survived Mean/Average
print(td.query("survived == 1").mean())

Survived Max and Min Stats

print(td.query("survived == 1").max())
print(td.query("survived == 1").min())

Machine Learning

From Tutorials Point%20is,a%20consistence%20interface%20in%20Python). Scikit-learn (Sklearn) is the most useful and robust library for machine learning in Python. It provides a selection of efficient tools for machine learning and statistical modeling including classification, regression, clustering and dimensionality reduction via a consistence interface in Python.> Description from ChatGPT. The Titanic dataset is a popular dataset for data analysis and machine learning. In the context of machine learning, accuracy refers to the percentage of correctly classified instances in a set of predictions. In this case, the testing data is a subset of the original Titanic dataset that the decision tree model has not seen during training......After training the decision tree model on the training data, we can evaluate its performance on the testing data by making predictions on the testing data and comparing them to the actual outcomes. The accuracy of the decision tree classifier on the testing data tells us how well the model generalizes to new data that it hasn't seen before......For example, if the accuracy of the decision tree classifier on the testing data is 0.8 (or 80%), this means that 80% of the predictions made by the model on the testing data were correct....Chance of survival could be done using various machine learning techniques, including decision trees, logistic regression, or support vector machines, among others.

  • Code Below prepares data for further analysis and provides an Accuracy. IMO, you would insert a new passenger and predict survival. Datasets could be used on various factors like prediction if a player will hit a Home Run, or a Stock will go up or down.
