Pandas Example – Write a Pandas program to append a list of dictioneries or series to a existing DataFrame and display the combined data

(Python Example for Beginners)

 

Write a Pandas program to append a list of dictioneries or series to a existing DataFrame and display the combined data.

 

Test Data:

  student_id              name  marks
0         S1  Danniella Fenton    200
1         S2      Ryder Storey    210
2         S3      Bryce Jensen    190
3         S4         Ed Bernal    222
4         S5       Kwame Morin    199
Dictionary:
student_id                  S6
name          Scarlette Fisher
marks                      205
dtype: object

 

Sample Solution:

Python Code :


import pandas as pd

student_data1  = pd.DataFrame({
        'student_id': ['S1', 'S2', 'S3', 'S4', 'S5'],
         'name': ['Danniella Fenton', 'Ryder Storey', 'Bryce Jensen', 'Ed Bernal', 'Kwame Morin'], 
        'marks': [200, 210, 190, 222, 199]})

s6 = pd.Series(['S6', 'Scarlette Fisher', 205], index=['student_id', 'name', 'marks'])


dicts = [{'student_id': 'S6', 'name': 'Scarlette Fisher', 'marks': 203},
         {'student_id': 'S7', 'name': 'Bryce Jensen', 'marks': 207}]

print("Original DataFrames:")
print(student_data1)

print("nDictionary:")
print(s6)
combined_data =  student_data1.append(dicts, ignore_index=True, sort=False)

print("nCombined Data:")
print(combined_data)

Sample Output:

Original DataFrames:
  student_id              name  marks
0         S1  Danniella Fenton    200
1         S2      Ryder Storey    210
2         S3      Bryce Jensen    190
3         S4         Ed Bernal    222
4         S5       Kwame Morin    199

Dictionary:
student_id                  S6
name          Scarlette Fisher
marks                      205
dtype: object

Combined Data:
  student_id              name  marks
0         S1  Danniella Fenton    200
1         S2      Ryder Storey    210
2         S3      Bryce Jensen    190
3         S4         Ed Bernal    222
4         S5       Kwame Morin    199
5         S6  Scarlette Fisher    203
6         S7      Bryce Jensen    207

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.
