Assignment in NumPy:

Assigning values to elements of a NumPy array is straightforward and can be done using simple indexing. Here's an example:

# Creating a NumPy array arr = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]) # Assigning a new value to an element arr[2] = 10 print("Modified Array:", arr)

Broadcasting:

NumPy allows operations between arrays of different shapes and sizes through a mechanism called broadcasting. Broadcasting automatically adjusts the dimensions of smaller arrays to perform element-wise operations with larger arrays. Here's an example:

# Broadcasting in NumPy arr = np.array([1, 2, 3]) scalar = 2 result_broadcast = arr * scalar print("Original Array:", arr) print("Broadcasting Result:", result_broadcast)

1. Pandas Series and DataFrame:

Pandas Series:

A Pandas Series is a one-dimensional labeled array capable of holding any data type. It can be created from a Python list or NumPy array. Each element in a Series has an index, which can be customized.

import pandas as pd # Creating a Pandas Series s = pd.Series([1, 3, 5, np.nan, 6, 8]) # Accessing elements and index print("Pandas Series:") print(s)

Pandas DataFrame:

A Pandas DataFrame is a two-dimensional labeled data structure with columns that can be of different data types. It is similar to a spreadsheet or SQL table. A DataFrame can be created from a variety of data sources, such as lists, dictionaries, NumPy arrays, or other DataFrames.

# Creating a Pandas DataFrame data = {'Name': ['Alice', 'Bob', 'Charlie'], 'Age': [25, 30, 35], 'City': ['New York', 'San Francisco', 'Los Angeles']} df = pd.DataFrame(data) # Displaying the DataFrame print("\nPandas DataFrame:") print(df)

2. Data Manipulation using Pandas:

Selecting and Filtering Data:

Pandas allows for easy selection and filtering of data based on conditions.

# Selecting columns print("\nSelecting Columns:") print(df['Name']) # Filtering based on a condition print("\nFiltering Data:") print(df[df['Age'] > 30])

Handling Missing Data:

Pandas provides methods for handling missing or NaN (Not a Number) values in a DataFrame.

# Handling missing data df['Salary'] = [50000, np.nan, 60000] print("\nHandling Missing Data:") print(df) # Dropping rows with missing values df_cleaned = df.dropna() print("\nDataFrame After Dropping Missing Values:") print(df_cleaned)

Adding and Modifying Columns:

Adding new columns or modifying existing ones is straightforward in Pandas.

# Adding a new column df['Department'] = ['HR', 'IT', 'Marketing'] print("\nDataFrame with New Column:") print(df) # Modifying column values df['Salary'] = df['Salary'] * 1.1 print("\nModified DataFrame:") print(df)

Merging and Concatenating DataFrames:

Pandas facilitates merging or concatenating multiple DataFrames.

# Creating a second DataFrame data2 = {'Name': ['David', 'Eva'], 'Age': [28, 22], 'City': ['Chicago', 'Seattle']} df2 = pd.DataFrame(data2) # Concatenating DataFrames result_concat = pd.concat([df, df2], ignore_index=True) print("\nConcatenated DataFrame:") print(result_concat)

Basics of Data Visualization:

1. Matplotlib:

Matplotlib is a widely used plotting library for creating static, animated, and interactive visualizations in Python.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # Basic Line Plot x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] y = [2, 4, 6, 8, 10] plt.plot(x, y) plt.title('Basic Line Plot') plt.xlabel('X-axis') plt.ylabel('Y-axis') plt.show()

2. Line Charts:

Line charts are used to visualize data points connected by straight line segments, ideal for showing trends over a continuous interval.

# Line Chart days = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] temperature = [30, 32, 28, 35, 29] plt.plot(days, temperature, marker='o', linestyle='-', color='b') plt.title('Temperature Over 5 Days') plt.xlabel('Days') plt.ylabel('Temperature (°C)') plt.grid(True) plt.show()

3. Bar Charts:

Bar charts represent categorical data with rectangular bars, where the length of each bar corresponds to the value it represents.

# Bar Chart categories = ['Category A', 'Category B', 'Category C'] values = [25, 40, 30] plt.bar(categories, values, color=['r', 'g', 'b']) plt.title('Bar Chart Example') plt.xlabel('Categories') plt.ylabel('Values') plt.show()

4. Pie Charts:

Pie charts display a circular statistical graphic that is divided into slices to illustrate numerical proportions.

# Pie Chart labels = ['Category X', 'Category Y', 'Category Z'] sizes = [30, 45, 25] plt.pie(sizes, labels=labels, autopct='%1.1f%%', startangle=90, colors=['gold', 'lightcoral', 'lightskyblue']) plt.title('Pie Chart Example') plt.show()

5. Scatter Plots:

Scatter plots are used to visualize the relationship between two continuous variables.

# Scatter Plot x_values = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] y_values = [3, 5, 7, 9, 11] plt.scatter(x_values, y_values, marker='o', color='orange') plt.title('Scatter Plot Example') plt.xlabel('X-axis') plt.ylabel('Y-axis') plt.show()

6. Seaborn:

Seaborn is built on top of Matplotlib and provides a high-level interface for drawing attractive and informative statistical graphics.

import seaborn as sns # Seaborn Line Plot sns.lineplot(x=days, y=temperature, marker='o', color='b') plt.title('Seaborn Line Plot') plt.xlabel('Days') plt.ylabel('Temperature (°C)') plt.show() # Seaborn Bar Plot sns.barplot(x=categories, y=values, palette='viridis') plt.title('Seaborn Bar Plot') plt.xlabel('Categories') plt.ylabel('Values') plt.show()

Subplots:

Subplots in Matplotlib allow you to create multiple plots within the same figure, providing a convenient way to visualize and compare different datasets or aspects of your data. Let's explore how to use subplots in detail.

To create subplots, you can use the plt.subplot() function. The function takes three arguments: the number of rows, the number of columns, and the subplot index.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np # Data for subplots x = np.linspace(0, 2 * np.pi, 100) y1 = np.sin(x) y2 = np.cos(x) # Creating subplots plt.subplot(2, 1, 1) # 2 rows, 1 column, subplot 1 plt.plot(x, y1, label='sin(x)') plt.title('Subplot 1') plt.legend() plt.subplot(2, 1, 2) # 2 rows, 1 column, subplot 2 plt.plot(x, y2, label='cos(x)', color='orange') plt.title('Subplot 2') plt.legend() plt.tight_layout() # Adjust layout for better spacing plt.show()

Grid of Subplots:

You can also create a grid of subplots using plt.subplots().

fig, axs = plt.subplots(2, 2) # 2x2 grid of subplots # Data for subplots x = np.linspace(0, 2 * np.pi, 100) y1 = np.sin(x) y2 = np.cos(x) y3 = np.tan(x) y4 = np.exp(x) # Plotting on subplots axs[0, 0].plot(x, y1, label='sin(x)') axs[0, 0].set_title('Subplot 1') axs[0, 1].plot(x, y2, label='cos(x)', color='orange') axs[0, 1].set_title('Subplot 2') axs[1, 0].plot(x, y3, label='tan(x)', color='green') axs[1, 0].set_title('Subplot 3') axs[1, 1].plot(x, y4, label='exp(x)', color='red') axs[1, 1].set_title('Subplot 4') # Adjust layout for better spacing plt.tight_layout() plt.show()

Sharing Axes:

You can share the same axis between subplots to ensure that they have the same scale.

fig, axs = plt.subplots(2, 2, sharex=True, sharey=True) # Data for subplots x = np.linspace(0, 2 * np.pi, 100) y1 = np.sin(x) y2 = np.cos(x) y3 = np.tan(x) y4 = np.exp(x) # Plotting on subplots axs[0, 0].plot(x, y1, label='sin(x)') axs[0, 0].set_title('Subplot 1') axs[0, 1].plot(x, y2, label='cos(x)', color='orange') axs[0, 1].set_title('Subplot 2') axs[1, 0].plot(x, y3, label='tan(x)', color='green') axs[1, 0].set_title('Subplot 3') axs[1, 1].plot(x, y4, label='exp(x)', color='red') axs[1, 1].set_title('Subplot 4') # Adjust layout for better spacing plt.tight_layout() plt.show()

Customizing Subplots:

Each subplot can be customized independently using various axs properties.

fig, axs = plt.subplots(2, 2) # Data for subplots x = np.linspace(0, 2 * np.pi, 100) y1 = np.sin(x) y2 = np.cos(x) y3 = np.tan(x) y4 = np.exp(x) # Plotting on subplots axs[0, 0].plot(x, y1, label='sin(x)') axs[0, 0].set_title('Subplot 1') axs[0, 0].set_xlabel('x-axis') axs[0, 0].set_ylabel('y-axis') axs[0, 0].legend() # ... similar customization for other subplots ... # Adjust layout for better spacing plt.tight_layout() plt.show()
