Admission
Admission Criteria
Here are some key concepts and tools for data analysis with Python:
Data Preprocessing
pandas: The pandas library is a fundamental tool for data manipulation and analysis in Python. It provides data structures such as Series (1-dimensional labeled array) and DataFrame (2-dimensional labeled data structure with columns of potentially different types).
NumPy: NumPy is a library for efficient numerical computation in Python. It provides support for large, multi-dimensional arrays and matrices, and is the foundation of most scientific computing in Python.
Data Visualization
Matplotlib: Matplotlib is a popular data visualization library in Python. It provides a wide range of visualization tools for creating high-quality 2D and 3D plots.
Seaborn: Seaborn is a visualization library built on top of Matplotlib. It provides a high-level interface for creating informative and attractive statistical graphics.
Machine Learning
Scikit-learn: Scikit-learn is a machine learning library in Python that provides simple and efficient tools for data analysis, classification, regression, clustering, and more.
TensorFlow: TensorFlow is an open-source machine learning framework developed by Google. It allows you to build and train machine learning models using Python.
Statistics and Hypothesis Testing
Statsmodels: Statsmodels is a Python library that provides statistical techniques and models for data analysis, including regression analysis, time series analysis, and hypothesis testing.
SciPy: SciPy is a scientific computing library that provides functions for scientific and engineering applications, including statistics, signal processing, and optimization.
Data Manipulation and Analysis
Pandas Dataframe: Pandas Dataframe is a powerful tool for data manipulation and analysis. It allows you to perform various operations such as filtering, grouping, sorting, and merging data.
GroupBy: GroupBy is a powerful function in pandas that allows you to group data by one or more columns and perform aggregation operations.
