How Do You Clean Python Data For Descriptive Statistics? - Python Code School

How Do You Clean Python Data For Descriptive Statistics? Are you interested in learning how to prepare your data for accurate and meaningful analysis? In this video, we’ll walk you through the essential steps to clean and organize your datasets using Python. We’ll cover how to load data with pandas, inspect its structure, and identify missing values that could affect your results. You’ll learn how to handle these missing entries by removing or filling them with appropriate values like mean, median, or mode. We’ll also show you how to verify and correct data types, ensuring dates and numbers are formatted correctly for analysis. Standardizing text data is another key step, including converting to lowercase, trimming spaces, and removing special characters to keep your categories consistent. Outliers can distort your statistics, so we’ll demonstrate how to detect them using visual tools like box plots or histograms and decide whether to remove or transform these data points. For categorical variables, we’ll discuss fixing spelling errors, merging similar categories, and encoding them into numerical formats using pandas functions like get_dummies(). If working with multiple datasets, learn how to merge or concatenate data properly to maintain alignment. Finally, we’ll show you how to review your cleaned data with describe() and visualize distributions to confirm readiness for analysis. By following these steps, you’ll set a solid foundation for generating accurate descriptive statistics and uncovering insights from your data.
