Pandas is one of the most popular python libraries to read, wrangle, and write data, which is also seamlessly integrated with seaborn when it comes to data visualization. Seaborn is an easy way to make pretty box plots, bar codes, and linear regressions, This will be a hands-on workshop consisting of both theory and practice parts. We will first walk through quickly through the general philosophy behind pandas, and later see how that philosophy is translated in multiple wrangling commands. Understanding the way pandas is designed will make parsing through its documentation easier. Whenever walking through pandas most common commands, a R translation will be provided for those already familiar with R but unfamiliar with pandas.
Participants are expected to have some basic experience with python. Experience in data wrangling with R is encouraged but will not be required. Most of the materials for the workshop will be provided in the form jupyter notebooks. If you find jupyter notebooks troublesome, other IDEs such as spyder may help to read the workshop material.
