Chapter 6: DataFrame methods

DataFrame methods

face Josiah Wang

Pandas offers many more methods that can be applied to a DataFrame or Series. The official documentation already did a thorough job explaining the methods, so there is no point trying to discuss them all.

I recommend you browse through the documentation when you need to find out how the methods work. I am sure you are all well-versed in reading documentations by now!

My recommendation is to understand what each method does and what it returns (is it a DataFrame, Series, Index, np.array)? By just understanding that, you should be able to tackle any pandas!

Having said that, we will quickly take a look at a few example methods provided, just to give you a sneak preview.
