Describing the Data
Pandas offers the handy mean() method that calculates the average of all values for each column. Here's how you can utilize it:
To determine the average value for a specific column, you can follow this method:
Pandas also provides the mode() method, which identifies the most frequently occurring value in each column. See the example below:
To find the mode for a particular column, you can do this:
Another useful method in pandas is describe(). Here's how to use it:
This method provides an overview of various metrics from the dataset, including:
- Total number of entries;
- Mean or average value;
- Standard deviation;
- The minimum and maximum values;
- The 25th, 50th (median), and 75th percentiles.
