What you should Have to Start
- Should have wget this file (tri3-lesson.ipynb)
- wget this file: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JoshuaW03628/Repository-1/master/nba_player_statistics.csv
- Copy Path from nba_player_statistics.csv and replace prior path for it.
- Data Analysis is the process of examining data sets in order to find trends and draw conclusions about the given information. Data analysis is important because it helps businesses optimize their performances.
- Pandas library involves a lot of data analysis in Python. NumPy Library is mostly used for working with numerical values and it makes it easy to apply with mathematical functions.
- Imagine you have a lot of toys, but they are all mixed up in a big box. NumPy helps you to put all the same types of toys together, like all the cars in one pile and all the dolls in another. Pandas is like a helper that helps you to remember where each toy is located. So, if you want to find a specific toy, like a red car, you can ask Pandas to find it for you.
- Just like how it's easier to find a toy when they are sorted and organized, it's easier for grown-ups to understand and analyze big sets of numbers when they use NumPy and Pandas.
NumPy is a tool in Python that helps with doing math and data analysis. It's great for working with large amounts of data, like numbers in a spreadsheet. NumPy is really good at doing calculations quickly and accurately, like finding averages, doing algebra, and making graphs. It's used a lot by scientists and people who work with data because it makes their work easier and faster.
import numpy as np
This code calculates the total plate appearances for a baseball player using NumPy's sum() function, similar to the original example. It then uses NumPy to calculate the total number of bases (hits plus walks) for the player, and divides that by the total number of plate appearances to get the on-base percentage. The results are then printed to the console.
import numpy as np
# Example data
player_hits = np.array([3, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2, 1, 2]) # Player's hits in each game
player_walks = np.array([1, 0, 0, 1, 2, 1, 1, 0]) # Player's walks in each game
player_strikeouts = np.array([2, 1, 0, 2, 1, 1, 0, 1]) # Player's strikeouts in each game
# array to store plate appearances (PA) for the player
total_pa = np.sum(player_hits != 0) + np.sum(player_walks) + np.sum(player_strikeouts)
# array to store on-base percentage (OBP) for the player
total_bases = np.sum(player_hits) + np.sum(player_walks)
obp = total_bases / total_pa
# Print the total plate appearances and on-base percentage for the player
print(f"Total plate appearances: {total_pa}")
print(f"On-base percentage: {obp:.3f}")
import numpy as np
#Create a NumPy array of the heights of players in a basketball team
heights = np.array([192, 195, 193, 200, 211, 199, 201, 198, 184, 190, 196, 203, 208, 182, 207])
# Calculate the percentile rank of each player's height
percentiles = np.percentile(heights, [25, 50, 75])
# Print the results
print("The 25th percentile height is", percentiles[0], "cm.")
print("The 50th percentile height is", percentiles[1], "cm.")
print("The 75th percentile height is", percentiles[2], "cm.")
# Determine the number of players who are in the top 10% tallest
top_10_percent = np.percentile(heights, 90)
tallest_players = heights[heights >= top_10_percent]
print("There are", len(tallest_players), "players in the top 10% tallest.")
import numpy as np
#Create a NumPy array of the x
grades = np.array([80, 90, 90, 92, 92, 96, 97, 100])
# Calculate the percentile rank of x
y = np.percentile(grades, [25,50,75])
# Print the results
print("Score of the 25th percentile", y[0], "%")
print("Score of the 50th percentile", y[1], "%")
print("Score of the 75th percentile", y[2], "%")
# Determine the number of players who are in the top 10% x
t = np.percentile(grades, 90)
z = grades[grades >= t]
print("There is", len(z), "grade in the top 10% grades.")
Lesson Portion 3 More into Pandas
What we are Covering
- Explanation of Pandas and its uses in data analysis
- Importing Pandas library
- Loading data into Pandas DataFrames from CSV files
- Manipulating and exploring data in Pandas DataFrames
- Example of using Pandas for data analysis tasks such as filtering and sorting
Things you can do using pandas
- Data Cleansing; Identifying and correcting errors, inconsistencies, and inaccuracies in datasets.
- Data fill; Filling in missing values in datasets.
- Statistical Analysis; Analyzing datasets using statistical techniques to draw conclusions and make predictions.
- Data Visualization; Representing datasets visually using graphs, charts, and other visual aids.
- Data inspection; Examining datasets to identify potential issues or patterns, such as missing data, outliers, or trends.
Pandas and Data analysis
The 2 most important data structures in Pandas are:
- Series ; A Series is a one-dimensional labeled array that can hold data of any type (integer, float, string, etc.). It is similar to a column in a spreadsheet or a SQL table. Each element in a Series has a label, known as an index. A Series can be created from a list, a NumPy array, a dictionary, or another Pandas Series.
- DataFrame ;A DataFrame is a two-dimensional labeled data structure that can hold data of different types (integer, float, string, etc.). It is similar to a spreadsheet or a SQL table. Each column in a DataFrame is a Series, and each row is indexed by a label, known as an index. A DataFrame can be created from a dictionary of Series or NumPy arrays, a list of dictionaries, or other Pandas DataFrame.
import pandas as pd
pd.__version__
- imports the Pandas library and assigns it an alias 'pd'.
- Loads a CSV file named 'nba_player_statistics.csv' into a Pandas DataFrame called 'df'.
- Specifies a player's name 'Jimmy Butler' to filter the DataFrame for that player's stats. It creates a new DataFrame called 'player_stats' which only contains rows where the 'NAME' column matches 'Jimmy Butler'.
- Displays the player's stats for points per game (PPG), rebounds per game (RPG), and assists per game (APG) using the print() function and string formatting.
- The code uses the double square brackets [[PPG', 'RPG', 'APG']] to select only the columns corresponding to the player's points per game, rebounds per game, and assists per game from the player_stats DataFrame.
- In summary, the code loads NBA player statistics data from a CSV file, filters it for a specific player, and displays the stats for that player's PPG, RPG, and APG using a Pandas DataFrame.
import pandas as pd
# Load the CSV file into a Pandas DataFrame
df = pd.read_csv('/Users/poonam/vscode/FirstFastPage/_notebooks/files/nba_player_statistics.csv')
# Filter the DataFrame to only include stats for a specific player (in this case, Jimmy Butler)
player_name = 'Jimmy Butler'
player_stats = df[df['NAME'] == player_name]
# Display the stats for the player
print(f"\nStats for {player_name}:")
print(player_stats[['PPG', 'RPG', 'APG']])
In this code segment below we use Pandas to read a CSV file containing NBA player statistics and store it in a DataFrame.
The reason Pandas is useful in this scenario is because it provides various functionalities to filter, sort, and manipulate the NBA data efficiently. In this code, the DataFrame is filtered to only include the stats for the player you guys choose.
- Imports the Pandas library and assigns it an alias 'pd'.
- Loads a CSV file named 'nba_player_statistics.csv' into a Pandas DataFrame called 'df'.
- Asks the user to input a player name using the input() function and assigns it to the variable player_name.
- Filters the DataFrame for the specified player name using the df[df['NAME'] == player_name] syntax, and assigns the resulting DataFrame to the variable player_stats.
- Checks if the player_stats DataFrame is empty using the empty attribute. If it is empty, prints "No stats found for that player." Otherwise, it proceeds to step 6.
- Displays the player's stats for points per game (PPG), rebounds per game (RPG), assists per game (APG), and total points + rebounds + assists (P+R+A) using the print() function and string formatting.
- In summary, this code loads NBA player statistics data from a CSV file, asks the user to input a player name, filters the DataFrame for that player's stats, and displays the player's stats for PPG, RPG, APG, and P+R+A. If the player is not found in the DataFrame, it prints a message indicating that no stats were found.
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv('/Users/poonam/vscode/FirstFastPage/_notebooks/files/nba_player_statistics.csv')
# Load CSV file into a Pandas DataFrame
player_name = input("Enter player name: ")
# Get player name input from user
player_stats = df[df['NAME'] == player_name]
# Filter the DataFrame to only include stats for the specified player
if player_stats.empty:
print("No stats found for that player.")
else:
# Check if the player exists in the DataFrame
print(f"\nStats for {player_name}:")
print(player_stats[['PPG', 'RPG', 'APG', 'P+R+A']])
# Display the stats for the player inputted.
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
# Load CSV file into a Pandas DataFrame
df = pd.read_csv('/Users/poonam/vscode/FirstFastPage/_notebooks/files/nba_player_statistics.csv')
# Filter the DataFrame to only include stats for the specified player
player_name = input("Enter player name: ")
player_stats = df[df['NAME'] == player_name]
if player_stats.empty:
print("No stats found for that player.")
else:
# Convert the player stats to a NumPy array
player_stats_np = np.array(player_stats[['PPG', 'RPG', 'APG', 'P+R+A']])
# Calculate the average of each statistic for the player
player_stats_avg = np.mean(player_stats_np, axis=0)
# Print out the average statistics for the player
print(f"\nAverage stats for {player_name}:")
print(f"PPG: {player_stats_avg[0]:.2f}")
print(f"RPG: {player_stats_avg[1]:.2f}")
print(f"APG: {player_stats_avg[2]:.2f}")
print(f"P+R+A: {player_stats_avg[3]:.2f}")
NumPy impacts the given code because it performs operations on arrays efficiently. Specifically, it converts a Pandas DataFrame object to a NumPy array object, and then calculates the average statistics for a the player you guys inputted. Without NumPy, it would be more difficult and less efficient to perform these calculations on large data sets. It does the math for us.
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# Load the CSV file into a Pandas DataFrame
df = pd.read_csv('/Users/poonam/vscode/FirstFastPage/_notebooks/files/nba_player_statistics.csv')
# Print the first 5 rows of the DataFrame
print(df.head())
# Calculate the mean, median, and standard deviation of the 'Points' column
mean_minutes = df['MPG'].mean()
median_minutes = df['MPG'].median()
stddev_minutes = df['MPG'].std()
# Print the results
print('Mean Minutes: ', mean_minutes)
print('Median Minutes: ', median_minutes)
print('Standard Deviation Minutes: ', stddev_minutes)
# Create a histogram of the 'Points' column using Matplotlib
plt.hist(df['MPG'], bins=20)
plt.title('MPG Histogram')
plt.xlabel('MPG')
plt.ylabel('Frequency')
plt.show()
In this example code, we first import the necessary libraries, including NumPy, Pandas, and Matplotlib. We then load the CSV file into a Pandas DataFrame using the pd.read_csv() function. We print the first 5 rows of the DataFrame using the df.head() function. Next, we calculate the mean, median, and standard deviation of the 'MPG' column using the appropriate Pandas methods, and print the results. And, we create a histogram of the 'MPG' column using Matplotlib by calling the plt.hist() function and setting appropriate axis labels and a title. We then call the plt.show() method to display the plot. Even though NumPy is not directly used in this code, it is an important underlying component of the pandas and Matplotlib libraries, which are used to load, manipulate and visualize data. It allows them to work more efficiently
Summary/Goals of Lesson:
One of our goals was to make you understand data analysis and how it can be important in optimizing business performance. We also wanted to make sure you understood the use of Pandas and NumPy libraries in data analysis, with a focus on NumPy. As someone who works with data, we find Pandas incredibly useful for manipulating, analyzing, and visualizing data in Python. The way we use pandas is to calculate individual player and team statistics. We are a group that works with numerical data, so NumPy is one of our favorite tools for working with arrays and applying mathematical functions to them. It is very fast at computing and manipulating arrays making it a very valuable tool for tracking statistics which is important to our group. For example, if you have an array of the points scored by each player in a game, you can use NumPy to calculate the total points scored, average points per player, or the highest and lowest scoring players.

Question Hacks;
- What is NumPy and how is it used in data analysis?
- NumPy is a python library which allows use to select data and be able to analyze it. It allows us to go over large arrays and can perform computations on data.
- What is Pandas and how is it used in data analysis?
- Pandas is library which allows us to manipulate data and analyze data. Pandas can help us sort the code and clean data. They use series which is one dimensional and dataframes which are 2 dimensional.
- How is NunPy different than Pandas for data analysis?
- NumPy is different from Pandas because Pandas uses more tabular data and NumPy focuses on more numerical data. NumPy allows more mathematical and computational analysis, while Pandas allows for more dataframe cleaning.
- What is a DataFrame?
- A dataframe serves as a table for which data can be put into. They serve similar purposes to things like spreadsheets.
- What are some common operations you can perform with NunPy?
- NumPy is important for statistical analysis. Some operations which we can do with NumPy include np.mean(), np.median(), np.min(), and np.max() to perform statistical computations on an array.
- How Can You Incorporate Either of these Data Analysis Tools (NunPy, Pandas) into your project?
- NumPy and Pandas can be used when we analyze data for projects. This will allow us to be able clean datasets and create LSRLs. I can incorporate data analysis tools like numpy and pandas into my projects by having dataframes and then using these tools to output statistics to the user. This could include a mean average of their scores and potentially if they are in the top 10% of scores.
