Transforming DataFrames

In this chapter, you’ll calculate summary statistics on DataFrame columns, and master grouped summary statistics and pivot tables.

Summary statistics

Mean and median

Summarizing dates

Efficient summaries

Cumulative statistics

Counting

Dropping duplicates

Counting categorical variables

Grouped summary statistics
