Array manipulation and element retrieval is a common task among any programming language, and luckily Python has some useful syntax for easily retrieving elements from various positions in the list. One common use case is to retrieve N elements from the end of a list/array, which we'll show how...

Assume you have a CSV (Comma Separated Values) file containing a dataset and would like to load it into memory for data manipulation with Python and Pandas. The process of importing a CSV is pretty straightforward. Although Python has a built-in CSV module for reading CSV files, the chance is...

Missing values are common and occur either due to human error, instrument error, processing from another team, or otherwise just a lack of data for a certain observation. In this Byte, we'll take a look at how to fill NaNs in a DataFrame, if you choose to handle NaNs by...

As pointed out in a previous article that deals with reading data from files, file handling is essential knowledge of every professional and hobbyist Python programmer. This feature is a core part of the Python language, and no extra module needs to be loaded to do it properly. In this...

K-means clustering is an unsupervised learning algorithm that groups data based on each point euclidean distance to a central point called centroid. The centroids are defined by the means of all points that are in the same cluster. The algorithm first chooses random points as centroids and then iterates adjusting...

K-Means clustering is one of the most widely used unsupervised machine learning algorithms that form clusters of data based on the similarity between data instances. In this guide, we will first take a look at a simple example to understand how the K-Means algorithm works before implementing it using Scikit-Learn....
Pandas DataFrame columns give context into the values of the rows/entries we're working with. Sometimes, we need to remove them, when saving data for proprietary libraries that don't support columns, and sometimes we just want to export them in a different format. In any case - saving the columns...
Scikit-Learn offers several datasets to play around with - most of them being toy datasets to learn from and test things out. Some beginners find the comfort of a tabular Pandas DataFrame format more intuitive than NumPy arrays. Thankfully, you can import a dataset as a Bunch object containing a...
When string-based columns have quotes - we'll oftentimes want to get rid of them, in large part because 'string is technically a different string to string, which more often than not isn't a distinction we want to make. Whether you'll be performing NLP and tokenizing words (in which case, you'll...
