A Practical Approach to Timeseries Forecasting Using Python - Data Manipulation in Python

The video tutorial covers various operations on a pandas DataFrame, including viewing the head and tail, obtaining information and descriptive statistics, exploring columns and shape, handling null values, dropping unnecessary columns, renaming columns using Python dictionaries, creating a new column with row sums, and introduces indexing and selection. These operations are essential for data manipulation and analysis in Python using pandas.

What command is used to display the first few rows of a data set?

• DF.tail()

• DF.describe()

• DF.head()

• DF.info()

Which command provides statistical details like mean and standard deviation of a data set?

• DF.head()

• DF.describe()

• DF.info()

• DF.columns()

How can you check for null values in a data set?

• DF.isnull()

• DF.head()

• DF.describe()

• DF.drop()

Which command is used to view the structure of a data set, including the number of rows and columns?

• DF.shape

• DF.describe()

• DF.head()

• DF.info()

Which command is used to list all the columns in a data set?

• DF.columns

• DF.describe()

• DF.head()

• DF.tail()

What is the purpose of the 'axis=1' parameter in the DF.drop() command?

• To rename columns

• To drop columns

• To sort data

• To drop rows

What does the 'inplace=True' parameter do in the DF.drop() command?

• Creates a new object

• Deletes the data frame

• Modifies the data frame without creating a new object

• Sorts the data frame

Which command is used to rename columns in a data frame using Python dictionaries?

• DF.rename()

• DF.drop()

• DF.head()

• DF.sum()

What is the result of using the DF.sum(axis=1) command?

• Sum of each column

• Mean of each row

• Sum of each row

• Mean of each column

What is the purpose of renaming columns in a data frame?

• To delete columns

• To make column names more descriptive

• To sort columns

• To add new columns
