Data transformations are a fundamental part of data analysis and preparation. They allow us to manipulate and reshape data in order to make it more suitable for analysis and modeling. Data transformations can be used for a variety of purposes, such as:
Cleaning and preparing data
Data transformations can be used to clean and prepare data for analysis. This can involve removing duplicate values, dealing with missing values, and correcting data inconsistencies.
For example, if you have a dataset with customer information, you might use data transformations to remove duplicate customer records, fill in missing values for customer addresses, and correct any errors in customer names.
Reshaping data
Data transformations can also be used to reshape data. This can involve changing the data's structure, such as converting it from one format to another, or changing the way the data is grouped.
