This hands-on course introduces you to Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) using Python, helping you analyze, visualize, and interpret datasets effectively. Over three weeks, you’ll master essential Python libraries—NumPy, Pandas, and Matplotlib—to manipulate data, uncover patterns, and generate meaningful insights.
🔍 What You’ll Learn:
📌 Week 1: Data handling with NumPy & Pandas (loading, cleaning, and transforming datasets)
📊 Week 2: Data visualization with Matplotlib (creating insightful charts & graphs)
💡 Week 3: Hands-on projects applying EDA techniques to real-world datasets
By the end of the course, you’ll be able to confidently explore and analyze datasets, identify trends, and create compelling visualizations, setting a strong foundation for data-driven decision-making.
Prerequisites: 🐍 Basic Python programming knowledge.
This lesson covers the basics of NumPy, a powerful Python library for numerical computing 🔢. You will learn how to create and manipulate arrays 🏗️, perform indexing and slicing ✂️, apply mathematical operations ➕➖✖️➗, conduct statistical analysis 📊, and reshape or transpose arrays 🔄. Additionally, you'll explore conditional filtering 🎯 to extract specific data efficiently. By the end of the lesson, you'll have a solid foundation for leveraging NumPy in data science and machine learning 🤖📈.
Pandas is a powerful Python library for data manipulation, analysis, and cleaning. It simplifies working with structured data, making it essential for data science, business analytics, and research.
🔹 Key Topics Covered:
✅ Pandas Series – A one-dimensional labeled array for handling single-variable data.
✅ Pandas DataFrame – A two-dimensional table for structured datasets (like Excel).
✅ Operations on Data – Sorting, filtering, statistical calculations, and transformations.
✅ Real-World Applications – Climate trends, sales analysis, healthcare insights, and more.
📊 Why Learn Pandas?
Pandas allows you to quickly explore, clean, and analyze data, making it a must-have tool for any data-driven professional! 🚀
This lesson covers essential data preparation techniques using Pandas and NumPy, including data cleaning, wrangling, transformation, and aggregation. You'll learn how to handle missing values, transform data types, engineer new features, and summarize datasets for analysis. By applying these techniques to real-world datasets from Kaggle, you'll gain practical skills for organizing and preparing data for meaningful insights and machine learning applications.
Before cleaning data, it’s important to understand the different types of data that we encounter in datasets. Data can be categorized into different types based on its nature and usage in analysis.
