pandas for Python - A Quick Guide - DataFrame Manipulation

This video tutorial covers essential data manipulation techniques using Pandas. It begins with an introduction to data preprocessing, focusing on handling missing data and removing duplicates. The tutorial then demonstrates how to rename columns, add new columns, and concatenate data frames. Finally, it explains how to remove columns and rows using the drop method. The video uses an employee dataset to illustrate these operations, providing practical examples of modifying data frame structures.
