Analyzing Data with Python

What You Will Learn

You will learn how to:

• How to import data sets, clean and prepare data for analysis, summarize data, and build data pipelines
• Use Pandas DataFrames, Numpy multidimensional arrays, and SciPy libraries to work with various datasets
• Load, manipulate, analyze, and visualize datasets with pandas, an open-source library
• Build machine-learning models and make predictions with scikit-learn, another open-source library

It includes following parts:

Data Analysis libraries: will learn to use Pandas DataFrames, Numpy multi-dimentional arrays, and SciPy libraries to work with a various datasets. We will introduce you to pandas, an open-source library, and we will use it to load, manipulate, analyze, and visualize cool datasets. Then we will introduce you to another open-source library, scikit-learn, and we will use some of its machine learning algorithms to build smart models and make cool predictions.
