pandas

pandas is a "fast, powerful, flexible and easy to use open source data analysis and manipulation tool, built on top of the Python programming language." In ORIE we use pandas for reading in data from CSV files (and others), organizing and filtering data, and analyzing data (often with the help of MatPlotLib and/or NumPy).

Installation

You can install pandas with the following command in your terminal: python -m pip install pandas. If that doesn't work, or if you want to use Anaconda, try these instructions on the pandas website instead: pandas website.

If you don't have pip installed, read instructions on installing it here: pip website.

If you don't have Python installed, download it here (Python website), or use Anaconda instead.
