Python Advanced- DataFrame

Hope you have learnt Series data structure from my previous page ; if not then please read about that from the side bar icon located at top right most.
Today we will learn about the second important data structure- DataFrame

DataFrame is a tabular data structure in which data is laid out in rows and column format (similar to a CSV and SQL file), but it can also be used for higher dimensional data sets.
The DataFrame object can contain homogenous and heterogenous values, and can be thought of as a logical extension of Series data structures.
In contrast to Series, where there is one index, a DataFrame object has one index for column and one index for rows. This allows flexibility in accessing and manipulating data.
For more details about DataFrame please visit here pandas DataFrame

DataFrame example with code snippet:-

Please note here If a column is passed with no values, it will simply have NaN values.

Now let's do some search operations on our dataframe using loc/iloc and understand the difference between loc & iloc with below examples:-







I hope you have now understood the loc & iloc uses clearly.

In order to access a column, simply mention the column name as below-


In order to add additional columns follow below example:-


You can pass a number of data structures to DataFrame such as a ndarray, lists, dict, Series, and another DataFrame.
You can also reindex to confirm to data to a new index. Reindexing is a powerful feature that allows you to access data in a number of different ways, and also to confirm data to some new time series or other index.


You can use NumPy functions inside DataFrame objects also-

Sorting in DataFrame:-

Let us look at the example of  company stock price data from Yahoo Finance website . To extract data from these websites, you need to use pandas.io.data-


So you see there are lots of things that we can do with DataFrame. I have given the input with output also so that you can understand easily.
Please feel free to comment if you face any issue.

    1. Certainly! Here is an advanced guide to working with DataFrames in Python using the Pandas library, including some sophisticated techniques and operations.

      Advanced DataFrame Techniques
      1. Creating DataFrames
      From dictionaries of lists:

      python
      Copy code
      import pandas as pd

      data = {
      'A': [1, 2, 3, 4],
      'B': [5, 6, 7, 8]
      }
      df = pd.DataFrame(data)
      From lists of dictionaries:

      python
      Copy code
      data = [
      {'A': 1, 'B': 5},
      {'A': 2, 'B': 6},
      {'A': 3, 'B': 7},
      {'A': 4, 'B': 8}
      ]
      df = pd.DataFrame(data)
      From a NumPy array:

      python
      Copy code
      import numpy as np

      array = np.array([[1, 5], [2, 6], [3, 7], [4, 8]])
      df = pd.DataFrame(array, columns=['A', 'B'])
      2. Advanced Indexing and Selection
      Boolean indexing:

      python
      Copy code
      df[df['A'] > 2]
      Using .loc for label-based indexing:

      python
      Copy code
      df.loc[1:3, ['A', 'B']]
      Using .iloc for positional indexing:

      python
      Copy code
      df.iloc[1:3, 0:2]
      Using .at and .iat for fast scalar access:

      python
      Copy code
      df.at[1, 'A'] # Label-based
      df.iat[1, 0] # Position-based
      3. Handling Missing Data
      Detect missing values:

      python
      Copy code
      df.isnull()
      Drop missing values:

      python
      Copy code
      df.dropna()
      Fill missing values:

      Data Mining Projects For Final Year

      python
      Copy code
      df.fillna(0)
      Fill with forward and backward fill:

      python
      Copy code
      df.fillna(method='ffill') # Forward fill
      df.fillna(method='bfill') # Backward fill
      4. Operations
      Element-wise operations:

      python
      Copy code
      df['C'] = df['A'] + df['B']

  7. iloc and loc are two important concepts when it comes to website accessibility. Both of them are important for making your content accessible to screen reader users.

How to deploy your ML model as Fast API?

Another post starts with you beautiful people! Thank you all for showing so much interests in my last posts about object detection and recognition using YOLOv4. I was very happy to see many aspiring data scientists have learnt from my past three posts about using YOLOv4. Today I am going to share you all a new skill to learn. Most of you have seen my post about  deploying and consuming ML models as Flask API   where we have learnt to deploy and consume a keras model with Flask API  . In this post you are going to learn a new framework-  FastAPI to deploy your model as Rest API. After completing this post you will have a new industry standard skill. What is FastAPI? FastAPI is a modern, fast (high-performance), web framework for building APIs with Python 3.6+ based on standard Python type hints. It is easy to learn, fast to code and ready for production . Yes, you heard it right! Flask is not meant to be used in production but with FastAPI you can use you...

Can you build a model to predict toxic comments?

Another post starts with you beautiful people! Hope you have learnt something new and very powerful machine learning model from my previous post-  How to use LightGBM? Till now you must have an idea that there is no any area left that a machine learning model cannot be applied; yes it's everywhere! Continuing our journey today we will learn how to deal a problem which consists texts/sentences as feature. Examples of such kind of problems you see in internet sites, emails, posts , social media etc. Data Scientists sitting in industry giants like Quora, Twitter, Facebook, Google are working very smartly to build machine learning models to classify texts/sentences/words. Today we are going to do the same and believe me friends once you do some hand on, you will be also in the same hat. Challenge Link :  jigsaw-toxic-comment-classification-challenge Problem : We’re challenged to build a multi-headed model that’s capable of detecting different types of toxicity like thre...

How to install and compile YOLO v4 with GPU enable settings in Windows 10?

Another post starts with you beautiful people! Last year I had shared a post about  installing and compiling Darknet YOLOv3   in your Windows machine and also how to detect an object using  YOLOv3 with Keras . This year on April' 2020 the fourth generation of YOLO has arrived and since then I was curious to use this as soon as possible. Due to my project (built on YOLOv3 :)) work I could not find a chance to check this latest release. Today I got some relief and successfully able to install and compile YOLOv4 in my machine. In this post I am going to share a single shot way to do the same in your Windows 10 machine. If your machine does not have GPU then you can follow my  previous post  by just replacing YOLOv3 related files with YOLOv4 files. For GPU having Windows machine, follow my steps to avoid any issue while building the Darknet repository. My machine has following configurations: Windows 10 64 bit Intel Core i7 16 GB RAM NVIDIA GeForce G...
