🕒 19:40–21:00
🏷️ Labels: Pandas, Geopandas, Data Manipulation, Python, Geospatial Analysis
📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

Session Goal

The session aimed to explore and enhance data manipulation techniques using Python libraries such as Pandas and GeoPandas, focusing on string processing, data transformation, and geospatial analysis.

Key Activities

  • Pandas for Data Manipulation: Demonstrated the use of Pandas for handling and structuring data strings related to countries, including examples of using rpartition for string splitting and the apply method for DataFrame creation.
  • String Processing Techniques: Explored alternative solutions for string manipulation, including the use of rpartition and string splitting methods.
  • DataFrame Transformation: Provided examples of transforming DataFrames by exploding and pivoting columns, and merging transformed data back into the original DataFrame.
  • Geospatial Analysis with GeoPandas: Illustrated how to perform spatial joins between geospatial dataframes to find points within specified areas using GeoPandas.

Achievements

  • Successfully demonstrated multiple data manipulation techniques using Pandas, including string handling, DataFrame creation, and transformation.
  • Achieved a spatial join of geospatial dataframes using GeoPandas, enhancing geospatial data analysis capabilities.

Pending Tasks

  • Further exploration of advanced data manipulation techniques in Pandas and GeoPandas to optimize performance and scalability.
  • Investigation into more complex geospatial analysis tasks that can be performed using GeoPandas.
