Pandas & NumPy for Data Analysis

While it is possible to undertake data analysis with standard Python, its tools and libraries make it much easier and more streamlined: Pandas, which is shorthand for Python Data Analysis, is a fast, powerful, flexible, and easy to use open source data analysis and manipulation tool built on top of the Python programming language; JupyterLab, for writing code and experimentation; NumPy for numerical analysis; pandas for data analysis; and matplotlib, for data visualization. Together, they form the foundation of Python-based data analysis and they are the subject of this professional certificate program.

Upon successful completion of this certificate, participants will be able to:

• Import data from files, websites, and databases;
• Use the DataFrame to manipulate and organize data;
• Summarize data using statistical and mathematical functions from NumPy;
• Clean data by using type changes and string replacement;
• Handle missing data;
• Organize data using group and filter; and
• Perform data visualizations using Matplotlib.

Participants are expected to have basic experience with Python or SQL.
