Data Wrangling in Python – Crosstabs In pandas

Crosstabs In pandas

Import pandas

raw_data = {'regiment': ['Nighthawks', 'Nighthawks', 'Nighthawks', 'Nighthawks', 'Dragoons', 'Dragoons', 'Dragoons', 'Dragoons', 'Scouts', 'Scouts', 'Scouts', 'Scouts'],

Create a crosstab table by company and regiment

Counting the number of observations by regiment and category

pd.crosstab(df.regiment, df.company, margins=True)
company cavalry infantry All
regiment
Dragoons 2 2 4
Nighthawks 2 2 4
Scouts 2 2 4
All 6 6 12

Create a crosstab of the number of rookie and veteran cavalry and infantry soldiers per regiment

pd.crosstab([df.company, df.experience], df.regiment,  margins=True)
regiment Dragoons Nighthawks Scouts All
company experience
cavalry rookie 1 1 1 3
veteran 1 1 1 3
infantry rookie 1 1 1 3
veteran 1 1 1 3
All 4 4 4 12

Python Example for Beginners

Two Machine Learning Fields

There are two sides to machine learning:

  • Practical Machine Learning:This is about querying databases, cleaning data, writing scripts to transform data and gluing algorithm and libraries together and writing custom code to squeeze reliable answers from data to satisfy difficult and ill defined questions. It’s the mess of reality.
  • Theoretical Machine Learning: This is about math and abstraction and idealized scenarios and limits and beauty and informing what is possible. It is a whole lot neater and cleaner and removed from the mess of reality.
