Viewing official documents is the most effective way to learn:

Only the relevant content of '10min to understand pandas' is posted here for review and consolidation. It is said that numpy and pandas are the basis of python data analysis. You must master the commonly used code.
jupyter auto completion code
I can't remember whether it was introduced in other articles, but I'm used to using jupyter. The code completion function is also very important. The completion method is as follows:
anaconda installing jupyter
Automatic completion of jupyter Code:
1,pip install jupyter_contrib_nbextensions (under anaconda's command window)
2. Jupyter contrib nbextension install -- user -- skip running check (in anaconda's command window)
3. Click on the option of nbextentions and check hindland (this step is completed)
10 min to understand pandas
create object
import numpy as np import pandas as pd
Create a Series object:
In [3]: s = pd.Series([1, 3, 5, np.nan, 6, 8]) In [4]: s Out[4]: 0 1.0 1 3.0 2 5.0 3 NaN 4 6.0 5 8.0 dtype: float64
Create a DataFrame with datetime index and label column by passing a NumPy array:
In [5]: dates = pd.date_range("20130101", periods=6)
In [6]: dates
Out[6]:
DatetimeIndex(['2013-01-01', '2013-01-02', '2013-01-03', '2013-01-04',
'2013-01-05', '2013-01-06'],
dtype='datetime64[ns]', freq='D')
In [7]: df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(6, 4), index=dates, columns=list("ABCD"))
In [8]: df

Create a DataFrame by passing a dictionary that can be converted into a Series like object:
In [9]: df2 = pd.DataFrame(
...: {
...: "A": 1.0,
...: "B": pd.Timestamp("20130102"),
...: "C": pd.Series(1, index=list(range(4)), dtype="float32"),
...: "D": np.array([3] * 4, dtype="int32"),
...: "E": pd.Categorical(["test", "train", "test", "train"]),
...: "F": "foo",
...: }
...: )
...:
In [10]: df2
Out[10]:
A B C D E F
0 1.0 2013-01-02 1.0 3 test foo
1 1.0 2013-01-02 1.0 3 train foo
2 1.0 2013-01-02 1.0 3 test foo
3 1.0 2013-01-02 1.0 3 train foo
The columns of the returned DataFrame have different dtype s.
In [11]: df2.dtypes Out[11]: A float64 B datetime64[ns] C float32 D int32 E category F object dtype: object

Out[16]: Index(['A', 'B', 'C', 'D'], dtype='object')
DataFrame.to_numpy() gives a NumPy representation of the underlying data. Note that when your dataframe has columns of different data types, this may be an expensive operation, which can be classified as a basic difference between pandas and NumPy:
==NumPy array has a dtype for the entire array, while pandas DataFrames has a dtype for each column== When you call DataFrame to_ When NumPy(), pandas will find NumPy dtype, which can save all dtypes in the DataFrame. This may eventually become an object, which requires converting each value into a Python object.
For df, we the dataframe of all floating-point values, dataframe to_ Numpy () is fast and does not need to replicate data:
In [17]: df.to_numpy()
Out[17]:
array([[ 0.4691, -0.2829, -1.5091, -1.1356],
[ 1.2121, -0.1732, 0.1192, -1.0442],

[-0.6737, 0.1136, -1.4784, 0.525 ]])
For df2, dataframe with multiple dtype s, dataframe to_ Numpy () is relatively expensive:
In [18]: df2.to_numpy()
Out[18]:
array([[1.0, Timestamp('2013-01-02 00:00:00'), 1.0, 3, 'test', 'foo'],

[1.0, Timestamp('2013-01-02 00:00:00'), 1.0, 3, 'train', 'foo']],
dtype=object)

Missing value processing
Pandas mainly uses the value NP Nan represents missing data. By default, it is not included in the calculation. See missing data section.
Resetting the index allows you to change / add / delete the index on the specified axis. This returns a copy of the data.
(there is also a simple way to modify the index, which can be assigned directly, such as:
f2.index = np.arange(10,14)
)
In [55]: df1 = df.reindex(index=dates[0:4], columns=list(df.columns) + ["E"])

statistical analysis
These operations do not include missing data (nan).

Operate on objects that have different dimensions and need to be aligned. In addition, pandas automatically broadcasts along the specified dimensions.

histogram statistics

String method
Series is equipped with a set of string processing methods in the str attribute to facilitate the operation of each element of the array, as shown in the following code fragment. Note that pattern matching in str usually uses regular expressions by default (regular expressions are always used in some cases). See the section on string methods for more information.
In [71]: s = pd.Series(["A", "B", "C", "Aaba", "Baca", np.nan, "CABA", "dog", "cat"]) In [72]: s.str.lower() Out[72]: 0 a 1 b 2 c 3 aaba 4 baca 5 NaN 6 caba 7 dog 8 cat dtype: object
merge and concat
pandas provides various tools to easily combine Series and DataFrame objects. When performing join / merge type operations, it also provides various collection logic for indexing and relational algebra functions.
In [73]: df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(10, 4))
In [74]: df

Adding columns to the dataframe is relatively fast. However, adding a row requires a copy and can be expensive. Instead of iteratively adding records to the dataframe constructor, we recommend passing the pre built list of records to the dataframe constructor. For more information, see the dataframe supplement.
Two examples of merge:
In [77]: left = pd.DataFrame({"key": ["foo", "foo"], "lval": [1, 2]})
In [78]: right = pd.DataFrame({"key": ["foo", "foo"], "rval": [4, 5]})
In [79]: left
Out[79]:
key lval
0 foo 1
1 foo 2
In [80]: right
Out[80]:
key rval
0 foo 4
1 foo 5
In [81]: pd.merge(left, right, on="key")
Out[81]:
key lval rval
0 foo 1 4
1 foo 1 5
2 foo 2 4
3 foo 2 5
In [82]: left = pd.DataFrame({"key": ["foo", "bar"], "lval": [1, 2]})
In [83]: right = pd.DataFrame({"key": ["foo", "bar"], "rval": [4, 5]})
In [84]: left
Out[84]:
key lval
0 foo 1
1 bar 2
In [85]: right
Out[85]:
key rval
0 foo 4
1 bar 5
In [86]: pd.merge(left, right, on="key")
Out[86]:
