Data Processing in Python using Pandas

This workshop will introduce participants to Python’s Pandas. We’ll start with a brief explanation of Anaconda and the Jupyter notebook environment (although not required for the participant, the instructor will be using these tools). After a brief introduction to main Python’s standard data types as well as Pandas data structures, we’ll demonstrate how to retrieve information from Pandas Series and DataFrames. We’ll also demonstrate basic input/output, selection, dropping, sorting, ranking, grouping and apply operations.  Although not required, we recommend all participants to have a basic knowledge of Python.
