DATA PREPROCESSING AND ANALYSIS

USING NUMPY AND PANDAS


Definition

Data preprocessing is the process of cleaning,


transforming, and preparing raw data into a
proper format so that it can be effectively used
for analysis or machine learning.
• Why it’s important:
• Raw data is often incomplete, inconsistent, or
noisy.
• Preprocessing ensures accuracy, consistency,
and reliability of data.
• Clean data improves the performance of data
analysis and ML models.
Main Steps:

• Data Cleaning – Remove errors, missing


values, duplicates.
• Data Integration – Combine data from
multiple sources.
• Data Transformation – Convert data into
suitable formats (e.g., categorical →
numerical).
• Data Reduction – Minimize data volume while
maintaining quality.
• Data Discretization – Convert continuous data
into discrete intervals
2. Introduction to NumPy

Full Form: Numerical Python


Purpose: Used for fast numerical and scientific
computations.

Features:

• Supports multidimensional arrays (ndarray)


• Very efficient and fast (written in C)
• Provides built-in functions for mathematics,
statistics, and linear algebra
• Allows broadcasting — applying operations on
arrays of different shapes
Common Functions:
3. Introduction to pandas

Full Form: Panel Data


Purpose: Used for data manipulation and
analysis in tabular form (rows and columns).
• Main Data Structures:
• Series: One-dimensional labeled array (like
a column in Excel).
• DataFrame: Two-dimensional labeled
structure (like a full Excel sheet).
