EDA Python - 20-Pandas_4

The video tutorial covers advanced data plotting and manipulation using Python. It begins with importing datasets and setting up the plotting environment. The instructor demonstrates data cleaning, masking, and transformation techniques, including setting indices for time series analysis. The tutorial also includes fetching hospital admissions data from an API, analyzing it, and merging it with existing datasets. Finally, the video shows how to create detailed plots using Matplotlib, highlighting differences in data trends over time.

What is the purpose of using the OS module in the context of this tutorial?

How can missing data points in a DataFrame be identified?

• By using the 'merge' function

• By checking for null values

• By changing the index

• By using the 'assign' method

What is the purpose of merging two datasets?

• To create a new DataFrame with combined data

• To delete unnecessary columns
