Data analysts and data scientists alike report that while there are definitely “sexier” parts of the job, most of their time is spent on data preparation and cleaning.
In our data cleaning and analysis course, you’ll learn how to supercharge your data analysis workflow with cleaning and analytical techniques from the Python pandas library that will make you a data analysis superstar.
You'll learn concepts such as groupby objects to solve split-apply-combine problems faster. You'll also learn how to use pandas to create pivot tables, concatenate data, and merge data to solve complex data problems as well as look at your data in a completely different way.
Then you’ll dive into string manipulation with string accessors and regular expressions (also called regex), a more refined way to do string manipulation.
You’ll also learn how to handle missing values in your data, a critical part of almost every data analysis project.
At the end of this course, you will be able to complete a guided project cleaning and analyze employee exit surveys. When you’re finished, you’ll have a real-world example of your data analysis abilities with genuine business value that you can show to potential employers to prove you’ve got the skills they need.
