Key benefits

Use the power of pandas 0.20 to solve most complex scientific computing problems with ease

Leverage fast, robust data structures in pandas 0.20 to gain useful insights from your data

Practical, easy to implement recipes for quick solutions to common problems in data using pandas 0.20

Description

This book will provide you with unique, idiomatic, and fun recipes for both fundamental and advanced data manipulation tasks with pandas 0.20. Some recipes focus on achieving a deeper understanding of basic principles, or comparing and contrasting two similar operations. Other recipes will dive deep into a particular dataset, uncovering new and unexpected insights along the way. The pandas library is massive, and it's common for frequent users to be unaware of many of its more impressive features. The official pandas documentation, while thorough, does not contain many useful examples of how to piece together multiple commands like one would do during an actual analysis. This book guides you, as if you were looking over the shoulder of an expert, through practical situations that you are highly likely to encounter. Many advanced recipes combine several different features across the pandas 0.20 library to generate results.

Who is this book for?

This book is for data scientists, analysts and Python developers who wish to explore data analysis and scientific computing in a practical, hands-on manner. The recipes included in this book are suitable for both novice and advanced users, and contain helpful tips, tricks and caveats wherever necessary. Some understanding of pandas will be helpful, but not mandatory.

What you will learn

Master the fundamentals of pandas 0.20 to quickly begin exploring any dataset

Isolate any subset of data by properly selecting and querying the data

Split data into independent groups before applying aggregations and transformations to each group

Restructure data into tidy form to make data analysis and visualization easier

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

Ted Petrou in Pandas Cookbook gives real world problems easy to follow and implement recipes for data wrangling success. This books does an excellent job in highlighting the foundations of Pandas, critical operations in Pandas, how to use Pandas in data analysis, and data visualization with Matplotlib, Pandas and Seaborn libraries.Ted uses actual datasets in his examples. If you go to download supporting files with this book, you will get a copy of his Jupyter Notebooks for each chapter and over 30 real datasets for analysis.This is a must have book when I want to find actual solutions to problems with unruly data.

A self-regarding preface, if I may. This is my second attempt at reviewing "Pandas Cookbook". The first one was written in a dyspeptic mood - thank you, Kindle Unlimited free trial, for exposing me to the horrors of self-published rip-offs - did not put its emphases right, and was in one regard simply misleading. This prompted criticism from the book's author, supported by detailed objections, and led me to reconsider. I know that there will be a Version 3, already in December, as I will want to compare "Pandas Cookbook" and Daniel Chen's "Pandas for Everyone", which I expect to be both similar and good. I will leave speculation at that, and focus on the present.Before "Pandas Cookbook", I had seen five books about Pandas:"Python for Data Analysis" by Wes McKinney, 2nd ed., 544 pages, 2017"Learning the Pandas Library" by Matt Harrison, 212 pages, 2016"Learning pandas" by Michael Heydt, 504 pages, Packt, 2015"Mastering pandas" by Femi Anthony, 364 pages, Packt, 2015"Python Data Analytics" by Fabio Nelli, 364 pages, Apress, 2015I can confidently say that (a) you don't need to consider books other than McKinney's and Petrou's, and (b) you want to see both, and possibly leave both, depending on your budget and personal preference.The one wrong suggestion in my original review was that PC was "far behind" PDA in terms of coverage. Having checked PDA, however, I realized that PDA did not have many things which I thought I learned from it, but in fact picked up from other sources - Pandas online doc, Stack Overflow, and, early on, Chris Albon's site. Surprisingly, the bread-and-butter "nunique" function, for example, is not in PDA, and neither is "filter" or "query". (I actually learned about "query" from "Pandas Cookbook"; my office Python environment predates Pandas 0.18.0). "Behind" is debatable - or moot: you have bits in one book, and not the other, either way you look - and "far" is false. The upshot is that you can get a good handle on Pandas with either reference.The word "reference" fits PDA better - it has a methodical, clearly structured, but somewhat terse style, reminding me of O'Reilly's "Nutshell" series. PC, on the other hand, is pretty relaxed, and goes at a slower pace, with illustrations that are much more likely to stay with you than McKinney's, because (a) they use real datasets, as opposed to quick artificial ones, (b) often are part of a sequence of steps, providing context and identifying the use case. Packt's no-frills typesetting puts PC at a disadvantage, but it is not too bad.Comparing "Pandas Cookbook" to what was available before, I see and appreciate the qualitative change from (a) reductive digests of McKinney's book, to (b) something that builds on, and complements, McKinney's book. If Chen's book does the same, the Pandas newbie will get even more options. For now, kudos to Ted Petrou for an original and useful book.

Just finished the book and it was pure pleasure working through it. In conjunction with the git repository Jupyter Notebooks I can't imagine a better learning experience. The best technical book I've ever used. Very confident now with Pandas.

I should’ve started with this book. The examples are concise and helpful. If you’re already familiar with Python and just want to get a better understanding of how to manipulate your data with Pandas- this is an excellent resource.With so many tools and resources out there for data analysis, it’s hard to find something this detailed on just the Pandas library. The book goes beyond the Pandas documentation and provides tips for best practices and links to external resources if you want to dig deeper into a specific topic.
