Calculating means by category

A good way to explore categorical variables further is to calculate summary statistics for each category. For example, you can calculate the mean and median of your response variable, grouped by a categorical variable. As such, you can compare each category in more detail.

Here, you'll look at grouped means for the house prices in the Taiwan real estate dataset. This will help you understand the output of a linear regression with a categorical variable.

taiwan_real_estate is available as a pandas DataFrame.
