These methods are described in the following topics.
- About the Exploratory Data Analysis Methods
OML4Py provides methods that enable you to perform exploratory data analysis. - Correlate Data
Use thecorr
method to perform Pearson, Spearman, or Kendall correlation analysis across columns where possible in anoml.DataFrame
object. - Cross-Tabulate Data
Use thecrosstab
method to perform cross-column analysis of anoml.DataFrame
object and thepivot_table
method to convert anoml.DataFrame
to a spreadsheet-style pivot table. - Mutate Data
In preparing data for analysis, a typical operation is to mutate data by reformatting it or deriving new columns and adding them to the data set. - Sort Data
Thesort_values
function enables flexible sorting of anoml.DataFrame
along one or more columns specified by the by argument, and returns anoml.DataFrame
. - Summarize Data
Thedescribe
method calculates descriptive statistics that summarize the central tendency, dispersion, and shape of the data in each column. - Date, Time, and Integer Data
OML4Py provides the data types that enable you to manipulate date, time and integer.
