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

Complete the following exercises to practice the skills covered in this chapter. Be sure to consult the Machine learning workflow section in the appendix as a refresher for the process of building models:

  1. Predict star temperature with elastic net linear regression as follows:
    1. Using the data/stars.csv file, build a pipeline to normalize the data with the MinMaxScaler and then run elastic net linear regression using all the numeric columns to predict the temperature of the star.
    2. Run grid search on the pipeline to find the best values for alpha, l1_ratio, and fit_intercept for the elastic net in the search space of your choice.
    3. Train the model on 75% of the initial data.
    4. Calculate the R2 of your model.
    5. Find the coefficients for each regressor and the intercept.
    6. Plot the residuals using the plot_residuals() function from the ml_utils.regression module.
  2. Perform multiclass...
