Find Unique Values In Pandas Dataframes


import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
raw_data = {'regiment': ['51st', '29th', '2nd', '19th', '12th', '101st', '90th', '30th', '193th', '1st', '94th', '91th'], 
            'trucks': ['MAZ-7310', np.nan, 'MAZ-7310', 'MAZ-7310', 'Tatra 810', 'Tatra 810', 'Tatra 810', 'Tatra 810', 'ZIS-150', 'Tatra 810', 'ZIS-150', 'ZIS-150'],
            'tanks': ['Merkava Mark 4', 'Merkava Mark 4', 'Merkava Mark 4', 'Leopard 2A6M', 'Leopard 2A6M', 'Leopard 2A6M', 'Arjun MBT', 'Leopard 2A6M', 'Arjun MBT', 'Arjun MBT', 'Arjun MBT', 'Arjun MBT'],
            'aircraft': ['none', 'none', 'none', 'Harbin Z-9', 'Harbin Z-9', 'none', 'Harbin Z-9', 'SH-60B Seahawk', 'SH-60B Seahawk', 'SH-60B Seahawk', 'SH-60B Seahawk', 'SH-60B Seahawk']}

df = pd.DataFrame(raw_data, columns = ['regiment', 'trucks', 'tanks', 'aircraft'])
/* View the top few rows */
df.head()
regiment trucks tanks aircraft
0 51st MAZ-7310 Merkava Mark 4 none
1 29th NaN Merkava Mark 4 none
2 2nd MAZ-7310 Merkava Mark 4 none
3 19th MAZ-7310 Leopard 2A6M Harbin Z-9
4 12th Tatra 810 Leopard 2A6M Harbin Z-9 

/* Create a list of unique values by turning the
   pandas column into a set */
list(set(df.trucks))
[nan, 'MAZ-7310', 'Tatra 810', 'ZIS-150']

/* Create a list of unique values in df.trucks */
list(df['trucks'].unique())
['MAZ-7310', nan, 'Tatra 810', 'ZIS-150']

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.
