Description
Use the power of pandas to solve most complex scientific computing problems with ease.
Revised for pandas 1.x. Key FeaturesThis is the first book on pandas 1.xPractical, easy to implement recipes for quick solutions to common problems in data using pandasMaster the fundamentals of pandas to quickly begin exploring any datasetBook DescriptionThe pandas library is massive, and it's common for frequent users to be unaware of many of its more impressive features.
The official pandas documentation, while thorough, does not contain many useful examples of how to piece together multiple commands as one would do during an actual analysis.
This book guides you, as if you were looking over the shoulder of an expert, through situations that you are highly likely to encounter. This new updated and revised edition provides you with unique, idiomatic, and fun recipes for both fundamental and advanced data manipulation tasks with pandas.
