Data may be stored as numbers and text. Packages have been developed in Python for specialised handling of data, depending on the nature of the data. Some of the most popular Python packages – e.g. NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, will be used in the workbooks for the day. The most popular use of Numpy is for vector and matrix operations, while Pandas is used for manipulating numerical and non-numerical data stored together in the form of tables. Matplotlib is very widely used to present intermediate and final results in graphic form.
In addition, additional statistical skills (handling missing data) and mathematical techniques (e.g. Linear Programming) would be addressed. These are vital skills in data analysis relevant to business and management.
Further workbooks present examples of analyses which utilise the basic capabilities of some of the most popular Python packages – e.g. NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib.
