Filtering numeric fields conditionally

Again, understanding the context of your data is extremely important. We want to understand what a normal range of houses sell for. Let's make sure we exclude any outlier homes that have sold for significantly more or less than the average. Here we will calculate the mean and standard deviation and use them to filer the near normal field log_SalesClosePrice.

Instrucciones del ejercicio

Import mean() and stddev() from pyspark.sql.functions.
Use agg() to calculate the mean and standard deviation for 'log_SalesClosePrice' with the imported functions.
Create the upper and lower bounds by taking mean_val +/- 3 times stddev_val.
Create a where() filter for 'log_SalesClosePrice' using both low_bound and hi_bound.

Ejercicio interactivo práctico

Prueba este ejercicio y completa el código de muestra.

from ____ import ____, ____

# Calculate values used for outlier filtering
mean_val = df.____({____: ____}).collect()[0][0]
stddev_val = df.____({____: ____}).collect()[0][0]

# Create three standard deviation (μ ± 3σ) lower and upper bounds for data
low_bound = ____ - (3 * ____)
hi_bound = ____ + (3 * ____)

# Filter the data to fit between the lower and upper bounds
df = df.____((df[____] < ____) ____ (df[____] > ____))
