3.2.9. Summary

• Most of the material in this chapter has been geared at an understanding of the core data science tool for data analysis - the dataframe - and how to work with data in it (functions, tasks, manipulating and shaping data)

• But we also covered good habits for data analysis, which will pay dividends as we dive into more (and new) datasets in the future

• The Finance Applications chapter contains examples of how we can use pandas to compound returns, easily calculate betas, and more.

3.2.9.1. Resources:

• This cheatsheet

• And this cheatsheet

• And this cheatsheet

• Python Data Science Handbook

• Aggregation and grouping

• Pivot tables

• This covers indexing and slicing issues nicely

• This covers method chaining so that Python can approximate R’s elegance at data wrangling and plotting

• This also has nice and quick examples showing Python matching R functions

• The most popular questions about pandas on Stackoverflow. This will give you an idea of common places others get stuck, and slicing and indexing issues are high on the list.
