Categorieën instellen

Na het verkennen van de pandas-Series "size" uit de dataset met adopteerbare honden, heb je besloten dat dit een ordinale categorische variabele moet zijn. Zo’n variabele aanmaken kost een paar stappen. Als je deze stappen in de verkeerde volgorde uitvoert, kun je mogelijk de nodige methoden niet openen of gebruiken. Het doel is om de kolom "size" uit de dogs-dataset om te zetten naar een geordende categorische pandas-Series met de volgende categorieën: ["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.

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.
