Pandas is an open-source data analysis and data
manipulation library for the Python programming
language. It provides high-performance, easy-to-use
data structures such as Series (1D labeled arrays)
and DataFrames (2D labeled data structures) that
are essential for handling structured data.

The name “Pandas” derives from “Panel Data,” a term
used in econometrics for data sets that include
observations over multiple time periods for the same
individuals.
Core Data Structures & Data Operations
of Pandas
Feature Purpose Syntax
1D labeled array for any s = pd.Series([10, 20, 30],
Series
data type index=['a', 'b', 'c'])
2D table with labeled
DataFrame df = pd.DataFrame({...})
rows and columns
Read/write from/to CSV, pd.read_csv('file.csv')df.to_
Import/Export
Excel, SQL, JSON, etc. excel('file.xlsx')
Explore structure and df.head(), df.info(),
Data Inspection
summary of data df.describe()
Handle missing, null, or df.dropna(), df.fillna(0),
Data Cleaning
incorrect values pd.to_datetime()
Extract specific
df[df['col'] > 100],
Filtering/Slicing rows/columns based on
df.loc[0:10, ['a','b']]
conditions or positions
Advanced Functions & Ecosystem
Integration of Pandas
Feature Purpose Example / Syntax
Grouping/Aggreg Summarize data by df.groupby('key')
ation keys/categories ['val'].sum()
Time Series Analyze and resample time- df.set_index('time'),
Analysis based data df.resample('H').mean()
Combine multiple
pd.merge(df1, df2,
Merging/Joining dataframes from different
on='id')
sources
Fast column-wise
Vectorized df['efficiency'] =
computation using NumPy
Operations df['output'] / df['input']
under the hood
Works seamlessly with ML,
Library matplotlib, sklearn,
plotting, DB, and scalable
Integration sqlalchemy, dask, vaex
tools
