Exploratory Data Analysis

Real data is rarely clean and ready for analysis. In this chapter learn to remove unneeded information, handle missing values and add additional data to your analysis.

Dropping data

Dropping a list of columns

Using text filters to remove records

Filtering numeric fields conditionally

Adjusting Data

Custom Percentage Scaling

Scaling your scalers

Correcting Right Skew Data

Working with Missing Data

Visualizing Missing Data

Imputing Missing Data

Calculate Missing Percents

Getting More Data

A Dangerous Join

Spark SQL Join

Checking for Bad Joins

Wrangling with Spark Functions

In this chapter learn how to create new features for your machine learning model to learn from. We'll look at generating them by combining fields, extracting values from messy columns or encoding them for better results.

Final Thoughts

2017 St Paul MN Real Estate Dataset

The real world is messy and your job is to make sense of it. Toy datasets like MTCars and Iris are the result of careful curation and cleaning, even so the data needs to be transformed for it to be useful for powerful machine learning algorithms to extract meaning, forecast, classify or cluster. This course will cover the gritty details that data scientists are spending 70-80% of their time on; data wrangling and feature engineering. With size of datasets now becoming ever larger, let's use PySpark to cut this Big Data problem down to size!
