With the help of Pandas, we can perform many functions on data set like Slicing, Indexing, Manipulating, and Cleaning Data frame.
Case 1: Slicing Pandas Data frame using DataFrame.iloc[]
Example 1: Slicing Rows
Python3
# importing pandas library import pandas as pd # Initializing the nested list with Data set player_list = [['M.S.Dhoni', 36, 75, 5428000], ['A.B.D Villers', 38, 74, 3428000], ['V.Kholi', 31, 70, 8428000], ['S.Smith', 34, 80, 4428000], ['C.Gayle', 40, 100, 4528000], ['J.Root', 33, 72, 7028000], ['K.Peterson', 42, 85, 2528000]] # creating a pandas dataframe df = pd.DataFrame(player_list, columns=['Name', 'Age', 'Weight', 'Salary']) # data frame before slicing df |
Output:
Python3
# Slicing rows in data frame df1 = df.iloc[0:4] # data frame after slicing df1 |
Output:
In the above example, we sliced the rows from the data frame.
Example 2: Slicing Columns
Python3
# importing pandas library import pandas as pd # Initializing the nested list with Data set player_list = [['M.S.Dhoni', 36, 75, 5428000], ['A.B.D Villers', 38, 74, 3428000], ['V.Kholi', 31, 70, 8428000], ['S.Smith', 34, 80, 4428000], ['C.Gayle', 40, 100, 4528000], ['J.Root', 33, 72, 7028000], ['K.Peterson', 42, 85, 2528000]] # creating a pandas dataframe df = pd.DataFrame(player_list, columns=['Name', 'Age', 'Weight', 'Salary']) # data frame before slicing df |
Output:
Python3
# Slicing columnss in data frame df1 = df.iloc[:,0:2] # data frame after slicing df1 |
Output:
In the above example, we sliced the columns from the data frame.
Case 2: Indexing Pandas Data frame
Python3
# importing pandas library import pandas as pd # Initializing the nested list with Data set player_list = [['M.S.Dhoni', 36, 75, 5428000], ['A.B.D Villers', 38, 74, 3428000], ['V.Kholi', 31, 70, 8428000], ['S.Smith', 34, 80, 4428000], ['C.Gayle', 40, 100, 4528000], ['J.Root', 33, 72, 7028000], ['K.Peterson', 42, 85, 2528000]] # creating a pandas dataframe and indexing it using Aplhabets df = pd.DataFrame(player_list, columns=['Name', 'Age', 'Weight', 'Salary'], index=['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F', 'G']) # Displaying data frame df |
Output:
In the above example, we do indexing of the data frame.
Case 3: Manipulating Pandas Data frame
Manipulation of the data frame can be done in multiple ways like applying functions, changing a data type of columns, splitting, adding rows and columns to a data frame, etc.
Example 1: Applying lambda function to a column using Dataframe.assign()
Python3
# importing pandas library import pandas as pd # creating and initializing a list values = [['Rohan', 455], ['Elvish', 250], ['Deepak', 495], ['Sai', 400], ['Radha', 350], ['Vansh', 450]] # creating a pandas dataframe df = pd.DataFrame(values, columns=['Name', 'Univ_Marks']) # Applying lambda function to find percentage of # 'Univ_Marks' column using df.assign() df = df.assign(Percentage=lambda x: (x['Univ_Marks'] / 500 * 100)) # displaying the data frame df |
Output:
In the above example, the lambda function is applied to the ‘Univ_Marks’ column and a new column ‘Percentage’ is formed with the help of it.
Example 2: Sorting the Data frame in Ascending order
Python3
# importing pandas library import pandas as pd # Initializing the nested list with Data set player_list = [['M.S.Dhoni', 36, 75, 5428000], ['A.B.D Villers', 38, 74, 3428000], ['V.Kholi', 31, 70, 8428000], ['S.Smith', 34, 80, 4428000], ['C.Gayle', 40, 100, 4528000], ['J.Root', 33, 72, 7028000], ['K.Peterson', 42, 85, 2528000]] # creating a pandas dataframe df = pd.DataFrame(player_list, columns=['Name', 'Age', 'Weight', 'Salary']) # Sorting by column 'Weight' df.sort_values(by=['Weight']) |
Output:
In the above example, we sort the data frame by column ‘Weight”.
Case 4: Cleaning Pandas Data frame
Python3
# importing pandas and Numpy libraries import pandas as pd import numpy as np # Initializing the nested list with Data set player_list = [['M.S.Dhoni', 36, 75, 5428000], ['A.B.D Villers', np.nan, 74, np.nan], ['V.Kholi', 31, 70, 8428000], ['S.Smith', 34, 80, 4428000], ['C.Gayle', np.nan, 100, np.nan], [np.nan, 33, np.nan, 7028000], ['K.Peterson', 42, 85, 2528000]] # creating a pandas dataframe df = pd.DataFrame(player_list, columns=['Name', 'Age', 'Weight', 'Salary']) df |
Output:
Python3
# Checking for missing values df.isnull().sum() |
Output:
Python3
# dropping or cleaning the missing data df= df.dropna() df |
Output:
In the above example, we clean all the missing values from the data set.
