Pandas Example – Write a Pandas program to replace the ‘qualify’ column contains the values ‘yes’ and ‘no’ with True and False

(Python Example for Beginners)

 

Write a Pandas program to replace the ‘qualify’ column contains the values ‘yes’ and ‘no’ with True and False.

Sample DataFrame:
exam_data = {‘name’: [‘Anastasia’, ‘Dima’, ‘Katherine’, ‘James’, ‘Emily’, ‘Michael’, ‘Matthew’, ‘Laura’, ‘Kevin’, ‘Jonas’],
‘score’: [12.5, 9, 16.5, np.nan, 9, 20, 14.5, np.nan, 8, 19],
‘attempts’: [1, 3, 2, 3, 2, 3, 1, 1, 2, 1],
‘qualify’: [‘yes’, ‘no’, ‘yes’, ‘no’, ‘no’, ‘yes’, ‘yes’, ‘no’, ‘no’, ‘yes’]}
labels = [‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’, ‘d’, ‘e’, ‘f’, ‘g’, ‘h’, ‘i’, ‘j’]
Values for each column will be:
name : ‘Suresh’, score: 15.5, attempts: 1, qualify: ‘yes’, label: ‘k’

 

Sample Solution :

Python Code :


import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

exam_data  = {'name': ['Anastasia', 'Dima', 'Katherine', 'James', 'Emily', 'Michael', 'Matthew', 'Laura', 'Kevin', 'Jonas'],
        'score': [12.5, 9, 16.5, np.nan, 9, 20, 14.5, np.nan, 8, 19],
        'attempts': [1, 3, 2, 3, 2, 3, 1, 1, 2, 1],
        'qualify': ['yes', 'no', 'yes', 'no', 'no', 'yes', 'yes', 'no', 'no', 'yes']}

labels = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j']

df = pd.DataFrame(exam_data , index=labels)
print("Original rows:")
print(df)
print("nReplace the 'qualify' column contains the values 'yes' and 'no'  with True and  False:")

df['qualify'] = df['qualify'].map({'yes': True, 'no': False})
print(df)

Sample Output:

Original rows:

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.
