What is data preprocessing?
- After exploratory data analysis and data cleaning
- Preparing data for modeling
- Example: transforming categorical features into numerical features (dummy variables)
Why preprocess?
- Transform dataset so it's suitable for modeling
- Improve model performance
- Generate more reliable results
Recap: exploring data with pandas
import pandas as pd
hiking = pd.read_json("hiking.json")
print(hiking.head())
Prop_ID Name ... lat lon
0 B057 Salt Marsh Nature Trail ... NaN NaN
1 B073 Lullwater ... NaN NaN
2 B073 Midwood ... NaN NaN
3 B073 Peninsula ... NaN NaN
4 B073 Waterfall ... NaN NaN
Recap: exploring data with pandas
print(hiking.info())
