Recently I had the pleasure of delivering a data science lecture for the University of Saskatchewan’s School of Public Policy. After that lecture, I decided to re-record a few choice bits for a more global audience.
This series of videos takes a quick look at how to install Anaconda, an all-in-one programming setup for data analytics, and then how to read in CSV (comma-separated value) files, clean them, and export them again.
Part 0: Install Anaconda
Part 1: Intro to Python & Spyder
Part 2: What is a CSV File?
Part 3: Basic Data Cleaning
Part 4: Combine DataFrames
Part 5: Combine DataFrames Continued
Part 6: Filter DataFrames
Part 7: OLS Regressions
Part 8: SQL and R
Part 9: SQL and Python
Links to the Data Files used:
