Machine Learning: Random Forest with Python from Scratch - Using Pandas for Random Forest (1)

The video tutorial introduces the Pandas library in Python, explaining its importance for data manipulation. It covers importing Pandas and Numpy, creating and viewing DataFrames, and performing operations like adding or removing columns and rows. The tutorial also demonstrates how to locate data using loc and iloc functions, setting the stage for conditional selections in future lessons.
