Primeros Pasos con Pandas

En este primer tema nos enfocaremos a entender cómo instalar y preparar todo para utilizar la librería Pandas y aprenderemos los elementos fundamentales de la librería; además, conoceremos un poco de la historia de esta librería y el porqué es tan popular.

Componentes principales en Pandas

Una parte fundamental de Pandas es la manipulación de estructuras de datos y en este apartado estaremos enfocándonos a conocer la forma en la que Pandas maneja las estructuras de datos (series, dataframes, etc.). Adicionalmente estaremos aprendiendo las principales funciones que utiliza Pandas para manipular y analizar los datos.

Operaciones en Pandas

La popularidad de Pandas radica en que muchos lo llaman el Excel con esteroides, pues ha desarrollado funciones que permiten que ciertas operaciones sean muy sencillas y fáciles de implementar para realizar análisis muy complejos. En este apartado, revisaremos las operaciones básicas y avanzadas que maneja Pandas para realizar cálculos en estructuras de datos, columnas, renglones o datos de tipo cadena.

Casos de Uso con Pandas

El Análisis Exploratorio de Datos o EDA es una forma de analizar datos que fue definido por John W. Turkey; este es una parte fundamental para la realización de proyectos de ciencia de datos. En este apartado nos centraremos en aprender a realizar un EDA usando Pandas. Adicionalmente, otra de las etapas importantes de la ciencia de datos es la visualización de datos y en este apartado conoceremos como realizar este proceso en Pandas con la ayuda de librerías que apoyan a Pandas.
