In my previous story of this publication, i explained about descriptive statistics. This story will let you know how to implement descriptive statistics with python.
I will be using pandas library.
Import modules
import pandas as pd
Create dataframe
data = {'name': ['John', 'Michael', 'Tina', 'Jake', 'Jashon','Jane'],
'age': [42, 52, 36, 24, 73,25],
'preTestScore': [4, 24, 31, 2, 3, 22],
'postTestScore': [25, 94, 57, 62, 70, 34]}
df = pd.DataFrame(data, columns = ['name', 'age', 'preTestScore', 'postTestScore'])df
Mean preTestScore
df['preTestScore'].mean()
Summary statistics on preTestScore
df['preTestScore'].describe()
Summary statistics of Data Frame
df.describe()
Minimum value of preTestScore
df['preTestScore'].min()
Maximum value of preTestScore
df['preTestScore'].max()
Median value of preTestScore
df['preTestScore'].median()
Sample variance of preTestScore values
df['preTestScore'].var()
Sample standard deviation of preTestScore values
df['preTestScore'].std()
Skewness of preTestScore values
df['preTestScore'].skew()
Kurtosis of preTestScore values
df['preTestScore'].kurt()
