Import Libraries:
In this step, we import the necessary Python libraries, including pandas for data
manipulation,pandas is a common library used in data analysis and Jupyter Notebook
environments. If you have 'pandas' installed and are using it in your Jupyter Notebook, upgrading
'nbformat' is an independent step to ensure that you can render content properly, such as plots or
visualizations, which might be related to other libraries like 'matplotlib' or 'plotly.'
You can use df.head() to display the first few rows of your dataset. This helps you get an initial
sense of the data's content.
Check Column Names and Data Types:
Use df.info() to check the column names, data types, and non-null counts for each column. This is
useful for understanding the dataset's structure.
Check for Missing Values:
To identify missing values in your dataset, use df.isnull().sum(). This will show the count of missing
values in each column.By loading and exploring your dataset, you set the foundation for data
analysis, cleaning, and manipulation. Understanding the structure and content of your data is
essential for making informed decisions and preparing it for further analysis.
Import Visualization Libraries:
First, you need to import the data visualization libraries you plan to use. Depending on your choice
of library, you can import Matplotlib, Seaborn, or any other visualization tool.
Handle Missing Values:
If there are missing values in your dataset, you'll need to decide how to handle them. Common
strategies include removing rows with missing values, filling them with mean or median values, or
using more advanced imputation techniques. Here's an example of how to fill missing values with
the mean.
