This workshop will give an overview about Pandas, an open source, BSD-licensed library providing high-performance, easy-to-use data structures and data analysis tools for the Python programming language. The workshop will focus on reading and writing structured data, like Excel or comma separated files. We will create descriptive statistics (describing individual variables, central tendency, shape and variation), sort, rank and group data. The different option of merging (joining) multiple files will be discussed. Finally, the techniques will be used to show the different options for cleaning data. Please bring your own laptop with Python 3x and Pandas installed.
