Data Analysis Workshop Series
Data Analysis with pandas
Workshop Details
This workshop is part two in our Introduction to Data Analysis for Aspiring Data Scientists Workshop Series.
This workshop is on pandas, a powerful open-source Python package for data analysis and manipulation. In this workshop, you will learn how to read data, compute summary statistics, check data distributions, conduct basic data cleaning and transformation, and plot simple visualizations. We will be using data released by the Johns Hopkins Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) (https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19). Prior basic Python experience is recommended.
What you need: Sign up for Community Edition here and access the workshop presentation materials and sample notebooks here.
Although no prep work is required, we do recommend basic python knowledge. Watch Part One, Introduction to Python to learn about Python.
