Impostare le categorie

Dopo aver esplorato la Series "size" del dataset dei cani adottabili, hai deciso che dovrebbe essere una variabile categorica ordinale. Creare una variabile di questo tipo richiede alcuni passaggi. Se questi passaggi vengono eseguiti fuori ordine, potresti non riuscire ad accedere o usare i metodi necessari. L'obiettivo è convertire la colonna "size" del dataset dogs in una Series categorica ordinata di pandas con le seguenti categorie: ["small", "medium", "large"].

Almost every dataset contains categorical information—and often it’s an unexplored goldmine of information. In this chapter, you’ll learn how pandas handles categorical columns using the data type category. You’ll also discover how to group data by categories to unearth great summary statistics.

Exercise 1: Course introduction Exercise 2: Categorical vs. numerical Exercise 3: Exploring a target variable Exercise 4: Ordinal categorical variables Exercise 5: Categorical data in pandas Exercise 6: Setting dtypes and saving memory Exercise 7: Creating a categorical pandas Series Exercise 8: Setting dtype when reading data Exercise 9: Grouping data by category in pandas Exercise 10: Create lots of groups Exercise 11: Setting up a .groupby() statement Exercise 12: Using pandas functions effectively

Now it’s time to learn how to set, add, and remove categories from a Series. You’ll also explore how to update, rename, collapse, and reorder categories, before applying your new skills to clean and access other data within your DataFrame.

Exercise 3: Aggiungere categorie Exercise 4: Rimozione delle categorie Exercise 5: Aggiornare le categorie Exercise 6: Verifica: accorpare le categorie Exercise 7: Rinominare le categorie Exercise 8: Raggruppare le categorie Exercise 9: Riordinare le categorie Exercise 10: Riordinare le categorie in una Series Exercise 11: Usare .groupby() dopo il riordino Exercise 12: Pulizia e accesso ai dati Exercise 13: Pulizia delle variabili Exercise 14: Accesso e filtraggio dei dati

In this chapter, you’ll use the seaborn Python library to create informative visualizations using categorical data—including categorical plots (cat-plot), box plots, bar plots, point plots, and count plots. You’ll then learn how to visualize categorical columns and split data across categorical columns to visualize summary statistics of numerical columns.

Exercise 1: Introduction to categorical plots using Seaborn Exercise 2: Boxplot understanding Exercise 3: Creating a box plot Exercise 4: Seaborn bar plots Exercise 5: Creating a bar plot Exercise 6: Ordering categories Exercise 7: Bar plot using hue Exercise 8: Point and count plots Exercise 9: Creating a point plot Exercise 10: Creating a count plot Exercise 11: Review catplot() types Exercise 12: Additional catplot() options Exercise 13: One visualization per group Exercise 14: Updating categorical plots

Lastly, you’ll learn how to overcome the common pitfalls of using categorical data. You’ll also grow your data encoding skills as you are introduced to label encoding and one-hot encoding—perfect for helping you prepare your data for use in machine learning algorithms.
