Who is this presentation for?

  • Data scientists and business analysts

Prerequisite knowledge

  • Familiarity with pandas and matplotlib (useful but not required)

Materials or downloads needed in advance

  • A machine with Python 2.7 or Python 3.4+ (recommended) and the Anaconda distribution (recommended) installed (Please run the provided "check_env.ipynb" notebook to ensure your environment meets the requirements for the tutorial.)
  • The course materials downloaded from the course GitHub repository, which also provides detailed explanations on setting up your environment (Make sure you have the newest version of the tutorial material before attending the tutorial.)

What you'll learn

  • Learn how to effectively use Jupyter with visualization and analysis tools

Description

Andreas Müller walks you through a variety of real-world datasets using Jupyter notebooks together with the data analysis packages pandas, seaborn, Matplotlib, and scikit-learn. You’ll perform an initial assessment of data, deal with different data types, visualization, and preprocessing, and build predictive models for tasks such as health care and housing. The goal of this tutorial is to make you comfortable using Jupyter to do interactive data analysis and exploration—in particular making use of the very immediate feedback that Jupyter provides.
