Overview/Description
Explore advanced data manipulation and analysis with Pandas DataFrames, a Python library that shares similarities with relational databases. To take this course, prior basic experience is needed with Pandas DataFrames, data loading, and Jupyter Notebook data manipulation. You will learn to iterate data in your DataFrame. See how to export data to Excel files, JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) files, and CSV (comma separated values) files. Sort the contents of a DataFrame and manage missing data. Group data with a multi-index. Merge disparate data into a single DataFrame through join and concatenate operations. Finally, you will determine when and where to integrate data with structured queries, similar to SQL.
