Course Outline: Beginner's Python and Data Analytics
1. Introduction to Basic Python
Objective: Understand basic Python syntax, variables, data types, and
control structures.
Topics Covered:
o Installing Python
o Python syntax (indentation, comments)
o Variables and data types (integers, floats, strings, booleans)
o Input and output
o Control structures (if-else, loops)
o Functions
Code Example:
python
Copy code
name = input("Enter your name: ")
print(f"Hello, {name}!")
for i in range(5):
print(i)
Quiz:
1. What are the different data types in Python?
2. Write a Python function to check if a number is even or odd.
2. Data Analytics with Python: Numpy and Pandas
Objective: Learn data manipulation and numerical computation using
Numpy and Pandas.
Topics Covered:
o Introduction to Numpy
o Arrays, operations on arrays
o Introduction to Pandas
o Series and DataFrames
o Data cleaning (handling missing values)
Code Example:
python
Copy code
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
# Numpy Array Example
arr = [Link]([1, 2, 3, 4])
print(arr * 2)
# Pandas DataFrame Example
data = {'Name': ['John', 'Anna', 'Mike'], 'Age': [28, 22, 32]}
df = [Link](data)
print([Link]())
Quiz:
1. What is the difference between a Numpy array and a Pandas
DataFrame?
2. How do you handle missing values in a Pandas DataFrame?
3. Introduction to Statistics Learning
Objective: Understand the basics of statistics and its application in
data analysis.
Topics Covered:
o Descriptive statistics (mean, median, mode)
o Variance and standard deviation
o Probability distributions
o Correlation and covariance
Code Example:
python
Copy code
import numpy as np
data = [12, 15, 21, 19, 13, 18]
mean = [Link](data)
std_dev = [Link](data)
print(f"Mean: {mean}, Standard Deviation: {std_dev}")
Quiz:
1. What is the formula for standard deviation?
2. Explain covariance and its importance in data analysis.
4. Data Preprocessing in Python
Objective: Learn how to preprocess data before applying machine
learning models.
Topics Covered:
o Handling missing data
o Encoding categorical data
o Feature scaling
o Splitting data into training and test sets
Code Example:
python
Copy code
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from [Link] import StandardScaler, LabelEncoder
import pandas as pd
# Example dataset
df = [Link]({'Age': [22, 25, 27, [Link]], 'Gender': ['M', 'F', 'F', 'M']})
# Handling missing data
df['Age'].fillna(df['Age'].mean(), inplace=True)
# Encoding categorical data
label_encoder = LabelEncoder()
df['Gender'] = label_encoder.fit_transform(df['Gender'])
print(df)
Quiz:
1. What are the different methods for handling missing data?
2. Explain the importance of feature scaling.
5. Simple Linear Regression
Objective: Learn how to create and interpret a simple linear
regression model.
Topics Covered:
o Linear relationship between variables
o Fitting a simple linear regression model
o Interpreting the coefficients
o Making predictions
Code Example:
python
Copy code
from sklearn.linear_model import LinearRegression
import numpy as np
X = [Link]([[1], [2], [3], [4], [5]])
y = [Link]([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
model = LinearRegression()
[Link](X, y)
predictions = [Link](X)
print(predictions)
Quiz:
1. What is the formula for a simple linear regression line?
2. What do the slope and intercept represent in a linear regression
model?
6. Multiple Linear Regression
Objective: Learn how to create and interpret a multiple linear
regression model.
Topics Covered:
o Linear relationship with multiple predictors
o Fitting a multiple linear regression model
o Interpreting coefficients
o Model evaluation metrics (R-squared, MSE)
Code Example:
python
Copy code
from sklearn.linear_model import LinearRegression
import numpy as np
# Multiple features
X = [Link]([[1, 1], [2, 2], [3, 3], [4, 4], [5, 5]])
y = [Link]([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
model = LinearRegression()
[Link](X, y)
predictions = [Link](X)
print(predictions)
Quiz:
1. What is the difference between simple and multiple linear
regression?
2. How do you evaluate the performance of a regression model?
