Use Structuring Methods To Establish Order in Your Dataset
As a data analytics
valuable methods that are part of this practice. As you'll recall from
you to organize, gather, separate, group, and filter your data in different ways to
learn more about it. Next, we'll talk about the methods involved in
a dataset about kangaroos. These furry creatures are native to Australia and
their strong tails and belly pouch they used to cradle their babies called Joeys. The kangaroo dataset
like pouch size, tail length, total body length, and much, much more. The first data we'll consider
viewing or analysis. You can think of filtering as selecting rows of a dataset. In the case of our
tails shorter than one meter. This is useful in finding meaningful groups or
extraction and filtering. In the kangaroo dataset, let's say you have a column of their body length called
to add a new column called Total Body length next to the kangaroo tail length column. Then group all
the tail
lengths into three types, long, average, and short based on the measurements
in the tail length column. You can now find and organize the total body length values based on the
kangaroo
method is merging. Merging is a method to combine two different data frames along a specified
starting column. For example imagine we had an additional dataset of kangaroo information from
or join functions to align the columns and combine the new data
and merging operations. If for example, we did not merge the kangaroo
