Overview of this book

Data analysis has become a necessary skill in a variety of domains where knowing how to work with data and extract insights can generate significant value. Hands-On Data Analysis with Pandas will show you how to analyze your data, get started with machine learning, and work effectively with Python libraries often used for data science, such as pandas, NumPy, matplotlib, seaborn, and scikit-learn. Using real-world datasets, you will learn how to use the powerful pandas library to perform data wrangling to reshape, clean, and aggregate your data. Then, you will be able to conduct exploratory data analysis by calculating summary statistics and visualizing the data to find patterns. In the concluding chapters, you will explore some applications of anomaly detection, regression, clustering, and classification using scikit-learn to make predictions based on past data. By the end of this book, you will be equipped with the skills you need to use pandas to ensure the veracity of your data, visualize it for effective decision-making, and reliably reproduce analyses across multiple datasets.

Exercises

Practice building and evaluating machine learning models in scikit-learn with the following exercises:

  1. Build a clustering model to distinguish between red and white wine by their chemical properties:
    1. Combine the red and white wine datasets (data/winequality-red.csv and data/winequality-white.csv, respectively) and add a column for the kind of wine (red or white).
    2. Perform some initial EDA.
    3. Build and fit a pipeline that scales the data and then uses k-means clustering to make two clusters. Be sure not to use the quality column.
    4. Use the Fowlkes Mallows Index (the fowlkes_mallows_score() function is in sklearn.metrics) to evaluate how well k-means is able to make the distinction between red and white wine.
    5. Find the center of each cluster.
  2. Predict star temperature:
    1. Using the data/stars.csv file, build a linear regression model of all the numeric columns to predict the...
