Overview of this book

Python is the most widely used programming language for building data science applications. Complete with step-by-step instructions, this book contains easy-to-follow tutorials to help you learn Python and develop real-world data science projects. The “secret sauce” of the book is its curated list of topics and solutions, put together using a range of real-world projects, covering initial data collection, data analysis, and production. This Python book starts by taking you through the basics of programming, right from variables and data types to classes and functions. You’ll learn how to write idiomatic code and test and debug it, and discover how you can create packages or use the range of built-in ones. You’ll also be introduced to the extensive ecosystem of Python data science packages, including NumPy, Pandas, scikit-learn, Altair, and Datashader. Furthermore, you’ll be able to perform data analysis, train models, and interpret and communicate the results. Finally, you’ll get to grips with structuring and scheduling scripts using Luigi and sharing your machine learning models with the world as a microservice. By the end of the book, you’ll have learned not only how to implement Python in data science projects, but also how to maintain and design them to meet high programming standards.

Belligerents

Lastly, as we noticed, in some rows, the axis and allies parties are swapped. It is slightly confusing for this specific dataset. For example, in this dual model, we'll have to mark Soviets as axis when they attacked Poland during the initial stages of the war. Let's take a look at all the possible combinations:

battles['Belligerents.allies'].value_counts()

Here, value_counts() calculates a number of occurrences of each value. Hence, the index of those series represents unique values. There is a more intuitive alternative – the unique() function (which is also faster). However, this is a NumPy function and it returns a NumPy array, which Jupyter prints badly—that's the only reason we prefer to use value_counts.

From the examination, we can observe that all the incorrect values contain either one of 'Germany', &apos...
