A bootstrap plot is a graphical representation of uncertainty in a characteristic chosen from within a population. While we can usually calculate data confidence levels mathematically, gaining access to the desired characteristics from some populations is impossible or impracticable. In this case, bootstrap sampling and the bootstrap plot come to our aid. This article will … Read more
A correlogram is a chart used in data analysis to check for randomness in a data set, hence the name. The less the degree of randomness, the more there is a correlation between the data. The correlogram chart highlights any potential statistical significance between data points. An autocorrelogram checks for the same degree of correlation … Read more
Andrews curves are used to identify structure in a multi-dimensional data set. By reducing complex data to a two-dimensional graph, we can more easily identify variables in the data that are associated, form clusters, or are outliers. We’ll show you how to plot such graphs, but before we get to that, let’s ensure every reader … Read more
Problem Formulation Given a Pandas DataFrame with column labels, and a list of new column names as strings. How to change the column names to replace the original ones? Here’s an example using the following DataFrame: You want to rename the column names [‘Col_A’, ‘Col_B’, ‘Col_C’] to [‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’] so that the resulting DataFrame … Read more
The easiest way to select multiple columns in Pandas is to pass a list into the standard square-bracket indexing scheme. For example, the expression df[[‘Col_1’, ‘Col_4, ‘Col_7’]] would access columns ‘Col_1’, ‘Col_4’, and ‘Col_7’. This is the most flexible and concise way for only a couple of columns. To learn about the best 3 ways … Read more
The set_index( ) and reset_index( ) methods are used on top of a Pandas DataFrame to manipulate its index column. The method set_index( ) is used to set the index of the DataFrame from the existing columns. The method reset_index( ) is used to get back to the default index of the dataset. Pandas set_index … Read more

What is the NumPy Library? NumPy is a Python library that allows you to perform numerical calculations. Think about linear algebra in school (or university) – NumPy is the Python library for it. It’s about matrices and vectors – and doing operations on top of them. Get Version Number with np.__version__ To check the NumPy … Read more
What is the Pandas Library? The pandas library provides data structures and functionality to represent and manipulate labelled and tabular data. Think of it as like an advanced spreadsheet program in your code with functionality including—but not limited to: creating spreadsheets, accessing individual rows by name, calculating basic statistics over rows and columns, and summing … Read more
