Write a Pandas program to count of occurrence of a specified substring in a DataFrame column.

 

Sample Solution:

Python Code :


import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({
    'name_code': ['c001','c002','c022', 'c2002', 'c2222'],
    'date_of_birth ': ['12/05/2002','16/02/1999','25/09/1998','12/02/2022','15/09/1997'],
    'age': [18.5, 21.2, 22.5, 22, 23]
})

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

print("\nCount occurrence of 2 in date_of_birth column:")
df['count'] = list(map(lambda x: x.count("2"), df['name_code']))
print(df)

Sample Output:

Original DataFrame:
  name_code date_of_birth    age
0      c001     12/05/2002  18.5
1      c002     16/02/1999  21.2
2      c022     25/09/1998  22.5
3     c2002     12/02/2022  22.0
4     c2222     15/09/1997  23.0

Count occurrence of 2 in date_of_birth column:
  name_code date_of_birth    age  count
0      c001     12/05/2002  18.5      0
1      c002     16/02/1999  21.2      1
2      c022     25/09/1998  22.5      2
3     c2002     12/02/2022  22.0      2
4     c2222     15/09/1997  23.0      4

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.
