Data Wrangling Tasks

Now that you know how to prepare a data set for use, we’ll shift gears and learn how to carry out some common data wrangling tasks. In the process you’ll get more practice writing Python code and learn some new programming tricks. You won’t need to do these tasks in every project, but they are things that come up frequently. Some of these tasks were chosen because they’re also frequently the topic of questions for the SSCC’s statistical consultants.
