Checks: 7 0

Knit directory: Pandas-30-R/

This reproducible R Markdown analysis was created with workflowr (version 1.7.0). The Checks tab describes the reproducibility checks that were applied when the results were created. The Past versions tab lists the development history.


Great! Since the R Markdown file has been committed to the Git repository, you know the exact version of the code that produced these results.

Great job! The global environment was empty. Objects defined in the global environment can affect the analysis in your R Markdown file in unknown ways. For reproduciblity it’s best to always run the code in an empty environment.

The command set.seed(20221023) was run prior to running the code in the R Markdown file. Setting a seed ensures that any results that rely on randomness, e.g. subsampling or permutations, are reproducible.

Great job! Recording the operating system, R version, and package versions is critical for reproducibility.

Nice! There were no cached chunks for this analysis, so you can be confident that you successfully produced the results during this run.

Great job! Using relative paths to the files within your workflowr project makes it easier to run your code on other machines.

Great! You are using Git for version control. Tracking code development and connecting the code version to the results is critical for reproducibility.

The results in this page were generated with repository version 5e3738a. See the Past versions tab to see a history of the changes made to the R Markdown and HTML files.

Note that you need to be careful to ensure that all relevant files for the analysis have been committed to Git prior to generating the results (you can use wflow_publish or wflow_git_commit). workflowr only checks the R Markdown file, but you know if there are other scripts or data files that it depends on. Below is the status of the Git repository when the results were generated:


Ignored files:
    Ignored:    .Rhistory
    Ignored:    .Rproj.user/
    Ignored:    dev/
    Ignored:    renv/

Note that any generated files, e.g. HTML, png, CSS, etc., are not included in this status report because it is ok for generated content to have uncommitted changes.


These are the previous versions of the repository in which changes were made to the R Markdown (analysis/method10-print-descriptive-info-about-the-dataframe2.Rmd) and HTML (docs/method10-print-descriptive-info-about-the-dataframe2.html) files. If you’ve configured a remote Git repository (see ?wflow_git_remote), click on the hyperlinks in the table below to view the files as they were in that past version.

Introduction

Python to R translation of 30 essential Pandas methods introduced by Avi Chawla in The Only 30 Methods You Should Master To Become A Pandas Pro published on TowardsDataScience.

Set up

# enable python in RMarkdown
library(reticulate)

Method #10. Printing Descriptive Info about the DataFrame (Method 2)

Python

describe() returns standard statistics like mean, standard deviation, maximum etc. of every numeric-valued column

import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_csv('data/iris.csv')

df.describe()
       Sepal.Length  Sepal.Width  Petal.Length  Petal.Width
count    150.000000   150.000000    150.000000   150.000000
mean       5.843333     3.057333      3.758000     1.199333
std        0.828066     0.435866      1.765298     0.762238
min        4.300000     2.000000      1.000000     0.100000
25%        5.100000     2.800000      1.600000     0.300000
50%        5.800000     3.000000      4.350000     1.300000
75%        6.400000     3.300000      5.100000     1.800000
max        7.900000     4.400000      6.900000     2.500000

describe() can also offer some info on categorical columns: the number of unique values, the most frequent value and its frequency, if we add include = all argument

df.describe(include = 'all')
        Sepal.Length  Sepal.Width  Petal.Length  Petal.Width    Species
count     150.000000   150.000000    150.000000   150.000000        150
unique           NaN          NaN           NaN          NaN          3
top              NaN          NaN           NaN          NaN  virginica
freq             NaN          NaN           NaN          NaN         50
mean        5.843333     3.057333      3.758000     1.199333        NaN
std         0.828066     0.435866      1.765298     0.762238        NaN
min         4.300000     2.000000      1.000000     0.100000        NaN
25%         5.100000     2.800000      1.600000     0.300000        NaN
50%         5.800000     3.000000      4.350000     1.300000        NaN
75%         6.400000     3.300000      5.100000     1.800000        NaN
max         7.900000     4.400000      6.900000     2.500000        NaN

R

As discussed in Method 9, summary() in base R returns the number of missings as well as some summary statistics for all numerical and factor columns.

df = py$df

df |>  summary()
  Sepal.Length    Sepal.Width     Petal.Length    Petal.Width   
 Min.   :4.300   Min.   :2.000   Min.   :1.000   Min.   :0.100  
 1st Qu.:5.100   1st Qu.:2.800   1st Qu.:1.600   1st Qu.:0.300  
 Median :5.800   Median :3.000   Median :4.350   Median :1.300  
 Mean   :5.843   Mean   :3.057   Mean   :3.758   Mean   :1.199  
 3rd Qu.:6.400   3rd Qu.:3.300   3rd Qu.:5.100   3rd Qu.:1.800  
 Max.   :7.900   Max.   :4.400   Max.   :6.900   Max.   :2.500  
   Species         
 Length:150        
 Class :character  
 Mode  :character  
                   
                   
                   

For categorical variables, like Species in the iris dataset, summary() could give us its frequency counts if we turn it into factor type in R.

library(dplyr) #for mutate

df |> 
  mutate(Species = as.factor(Species)) |> # see method17 for more on mutate()   
  summary()
  Sepal.Length    Sepal.Width     Petal.Length    Petal.Width   
 Min.   :4.300   Min.   :2.000   Min.   :1.000   Min.   :0.100  
 1st Qu.:5.100   1st Qu.:2.800   1st Qu.:1.600   1st Qu.:0.300  
 Median :5.800   Median :3.000   Median :4.350   Median :1.300  
 Mean   :5.843   Mean   :3.057   Mean   :3.758   Mean   :1.199  
 3rd Qu.:6.400   3rd Qu.:3.300   3rd Qu.:5.100   3rd Qu.:1.800  
 Max.   :7.900   Max.   :4.400   Max.   :6.900   Max.   :2.500  
       Species  
 setosa    :50  
 versicolor:50  
 virginica :50  
                
                
                

In python, we could use value_counts() to get frequency counts. See #method27 for more.

df['Species'].value_counts()
virginica     50
versicolor    50
setosa        50
Name: Species, dtype: int64
