Skipping unnecessary rows in a CSV file.Renaming columns to a more recognizable set of labels.Using the DataFrame.applymap() function to clean the entire dataset, element-wise.Dropping unnecessary columns in a DataFrame.In this tutorial, we’ll leverage Python’s pandas and NumPy libraries to clean data. Therefore, if you are just stepping into this field or planning to step into this field, it is important to be able to deal with messy data, whether that means missing values, inconsistent formatting, malformed records, or nonsensical outliers.
In fact, a lot of data scientists argue that the initial steps of obtaining and cleaning data constitute 80% of the job. Watch it together with the written tutorial to deepen your understanding: Data Cleaning With pandas and NumPyĭata scientists spend a large amount of their time cleaning datasets and getting them down to a form with which they can work.
