What is Data Cleaning and Preprocessing using Pandas | Python Pandas for Data Engineering

Welcome to ITVersity’s ‘Data Analysis Using Pandas’ Tutorial!
In this introductory video, we kick off the Data Cleaning and Preprocessing module, a crucial step in any data analysis journey. Learn what’s ahead as we guide you through the essential techniques to transform raw, messy data into a clean, structured format ready for analysis or visualization.

* What’s Covered in This Module:*
* *Handling Missing Data:* Learn to identify and address missing values using fillna() and dropna().
* *Removing Duplicates:* Master the use of duplicated() and drop_duplicates() to ensure data integrity.
* *Renaming and Reordering Columns:* Organize your DataFrame for better readability and usability.
* *Ensuring Consistent Data Types:* Validate and convert data types to maintain consistency.
* *Filtering and Sorting Data:* Extract relevant subsets with conditions or the SQL-like query() function.
Each lesson builds on the foundation of data cleaning and preprocessing, equipping you with practical skills to prepare raw data for meaningful analysis. 🎯

*Why This Module Matters:*
Raw data often contains errors, inconsistencies, and missing information. Cleaning and preprocessing:
* Makes your data reliable and structured.
* Simplifies interpretation and enhances analysis.
* Lays the foundation for meaningful insights and better decision-making.
