Data handling with Python
Trainer: Andrian Yang, Iris Diana Yu
Overview: In this session, you will learn how to use Python to explore and analyse data. You will start by first using basic Python to read and write data from a file, followed by using built-in Python libraries for simple data analysis. You will then use the `pandas` Python library to perform advanced data exploration and manipulation.
Learning outcomes
By the end of this section, you will be able to:
- Perform basic data analysis with Python and identify relevant libraries
- Use the Python library ‘pandas’ for data exploration and manipulation
Materials
You can access the guided code provided by the trainer, together with the data and the solutions to the exercises in this Github repository:
If you are running the code on your own machine, you will have to manage the code dependencies. You can download the container provided by trainers in this Github repository (follow the instruction on the link), which provides all the dependencies needed.
