Write a Pandas program to convert continuous values of a column in a given DataFrame to categorical.

Input:
{ ‘Name’: [‘Alberto Franco’,’Gino Mcneill’,’Ryan Parkes’, ‘Eesha Hinton’, ‘Syed Wharton’], ‘Age’: [18, 22, 40, 50, 80, 5] }
Output:
Age group:
0 kids
1 adult
2 elderly
3 adult
4 elderly
5 kids
Name: age_groups, dtype: category
Categories (3, object): [kids < adult < elderly]

 

Sample Solution :

Python Code :


import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({
    'name': ['Alberto Franco','Gino Mcneill','Ryan Parkes', 'Eesha Hinton', 'Syed Wharton', 'Kierra Gentry'],
      'age': [18, 22, 85, 50, 80, 5]
})

print("Original DataFrame:")
print(df)

print('nAge group:')
df["age_groups"] = pd.cut(df["age"], bins = [0, 18, 65, 99], labels = ["kids", "adult", "elderly"])
print(df["age_groups"])

Sample Output:

Original DataFrame:
             name  age
0  Alberto Franco   18
1    Gino Mcneill   22
2     Ryan Parkes   85
3    Eesha Hinton   50
4    Syed Wharton   80
5   Kierra Gentry    5

Age group:
0       kids
1      adult
2    elderly
3      adult
4    elderly
5       kids
Name: age_groups, dtype: category
Categories (3, object): [kids < adult < elderly]

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.
