Pandas for Data Analysis: Finding Income Imbalance by Native Country Using Vectorized Operations
Pandas for Data Analysis: Finding Income Imbalance by Native Country In this article, we will explore the use of Pandas for data analysis. Specifically, we’ll create a function that calculates the income imbalance for each native country using a simple ratio. Loading the Dataset To reproduce the problem, you can load the adult.data file from the “Data Folder” into your Python environment. Here’s how to do it: training_df = pd.read_csv('adult.data', header=None, skipinitialspace=True) columns = ['age','workclass','fnlwgt','education','education-num','marital-status', 'occupation','relationship','race','sex','capital-gain','capital-loss', 'hours-per-week','native-country','income'] training_df.

How to Calculate Elapsed Time Between Consecutive Measurements in a DataFrame with R and Dplyr
Here’s the complete code with comments and explanations: # Load required libraries library(dplyr) library(tidyr) # Assuming df1 is your dataframe # Group by ID, MEASUREMENT, and Step df %>% group_by(ID, MEASUREMENT) %>% # Calculate ElapsedTime as StartDatetime - lag(EndDatetime) mutate(ElapsedTime = StartDatetime - lag(EndDatetime)) %>% # Replace all NA in ElapsedTime with 0 (since it's not present for the first EndDatetime) replace_na(list(ElapsedTime = 0)) Explanation: group_by function groups your data by ID, MEASUREMENT, and Step.
