Pandas DataFrame Methods

Pandas DataFrame Methods (Important)

• As we all know everythin in python is Object. Every Object has some Methods and Attributes.

       Methods - Functions (Ex:- add() )

       Attributes -  Properties (Ex:- dtypes,loc, iloc, at, iat )

• Assueme if we have created a DataFrame df, then the Methods and Attributes will be used with df as follows.

       Methods - df.add()

       Attributes -  df.dtypes

• Methods used with small brackets [ () ], but the attributes will not be used with bracjets.

• Following are the important methods of DataFrame.

1. abs( ) : Return a Series/DataFrame with absolute numeric value of each element.
2. add( ) : Get Addition of dataframe and other, element-wise.
3. div( ) : Get Floating division of dataframe and other, element-wise.
4. sub( ) : Get Subtraction of dataframe and other, element-wise.
5. sum( ) : Return the sum of the values for the requested axis.
6. floordiv( ) : Get Integer division of dataframe and other, element-wise
7. equals( ) : Test whether two objects contain the same elements.
8. all ( ) : Return whether all elements are True, potentially over an axis.
9. append( ) : Append rows of other to the end of caller, returning a new object.
10. astype( ) : Cast a pandas object to a specified dtype
11. copy( ) : Make a copy of this object’s indices and data.
12. describe( ) : Generate descriptive statistics.
13. drop( ) : Drop specified labels from rows or columns.
14. drop_duplicates( ) : Return DataFrame with duplicate rows removed.
15. dropna( ) : Remove missing values.
16. fillna( ) : Fill NA/NaN values using the specified method.
17. replace( ) : Replace values given in to_replace with value.
18. rename( ) : Alter axes labels.
19. reindex( ) : Conform DataFrame to new index with optional filling logic.
20. reindex_like( ) : Return an object with matching indices as other object.
21. rename_axis( ) : Set the name of the axis for the index or columns.
22. set_index( ) : Set the DataFrame index using existing columns.
23. where( ) : Replace values where the condition is False.
24. max( ) : Return the maximum of the values for the requested axis.
25. min( ) : Return the minimum of the values for the requested axis.
26. mean( ) : Return the mean of the values for the requested axis.
27. median( ) : Return the median of the values for the requested axis.
28. std( ) : Return sample standard deviation over requested axis.
29. var( ) : Return unbiased variance over requested axis.
30. count( ) : Count non-NA cells for each column or row.
31. agg( ) : Aggregate using one or more operations over the specified axis.
32. head( ) : Return the first n rows.
33. tail( ) : Return the last n rows.
