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 for some practice with the machine learning workflow and exposure to some additional anomaly detection strategies:

  1. A one-class SVM is another model that can be used for unsupervised outlier detection. Build a one-class SVM model with the default parameters, using a pipeline with the StandardScaler and the OneClassSVM. Train the model on January 2018 data, just as we did for the isolation forest. Make predictions on that same data. Count the number of inliers and outliers this model identifies.
  2. Using the 2018 minutely data, build a k-means model with two clusters after standardizing the data with the StandardScaler. With the labeled data in the attacks table in the SQLite database (logs/logs.db), see whether this model gets a good Fowlkes-Mallows score (use the fowlkes_mallows_score() function in sklearn.metrics).
  3. Evaluate the performance...
