Data is one of the most crucial factors in decision making. It provides a factual foundation for informed decision making by reducing individual biases. Data driven decision making is one of the trending topics today within organizations which enables companies to make insightful decisions based on concrete data analysis rather than relying on intuition and assumptions. It is basically the process of collecting data based on company’s Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and transforming them into actionable insights. In the real world data driven decision making can be seen in many ways. Collecting survey responses to identify products, services and features their customers would like.            Launching a new product/ service in a test market to understand how well the product would perform in the market.  Conducting User Acceptance Testing (UAT)  to discover possible problems that should be addressed before the full release, and how cust...

Understanding Python Data Structures: A Deep Dive into Series with Pandas

Image
Welcome back! Now that we understand the basics of Pandas, let's dive right into one of the most basic concepts: series. In this blog post, I will endeavor to cover the basics of a Pandas series and how you can apply it to be better placed to work with data. Let's get started! Pandas Series A Panda Series is an one-dimensional, array-like object, capable of holding data of any type, such as integer, float, or string. Every element has an associated unique identifier called an index. You think of a Series as a column in a spreadsheet or a single column of a database table. Series is a core data structure in pandas and is widely used in most of the data manipulation and analysis tasks. Series objects can be created from lists, arrays, dictionaries, and from other existing Series. More importantly, Series are one of the base elements used for constructing the higher dimensional Pandas DataFrame object, which can be visualized as a two-dimensional table-like structure.

An Introduction to Pandas: Python's Powerful Data Analysis Library

Image
In today's data-driven world, the ability to manipulate and effectively analyze data is definitely one of the most important skills. Be it someone who is new to programming or an experienced developer, the Pandas library makes Python a game-changing tool in working with data. I will introduce you to Pandas—a powerful tool at your disposal for managing large datasets with ease in this post. Introduction to Pandas Pandas is a powerful, open-source Python library. It is a library for data manipulation and analysis. It has in-built data structures and functions that enable one to handle large data effectively. Pandas is designed for handling tabular data, in other words, spreadsheets or SQL tables. Data produced by Pandas are normally fed as an input to plotting functions provided by Matplotlib, used in statistical analysis within SciPy, or used by machine learning algorithms within Scikit-learn. Analysis, cleaning, and manipulation of data can be done with the Python's Pandas lib...

Introduction To Python Libraries

Image
Hello, and welcome to my little corner of the internet!  I'm Lalindi, and I'm super excited to have you here. On my blog, I document my life's journey from everyday adventures to meaningful experiences and everything in between. Today, I get to share with you one of the things I am most passionate about: coding with Python. I will be discussing some of the basic Python libraries that aided me in my journey to make coding smoother and much more pleasant in my first post. Whether a seasoned programmer or an absolute beginner, I hope you will find something useful, informative, and maybe even inspiring. So grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and let us see what wonders Python is made of. Thanks for stopping by and happy reading! Introduction To Python Libraries Typically a library is a place where a collection of books is displayed where readers can borrow them and read. There can be different categories of books as well as there can be copies of the same book as well. But in Pyth...
