Splitting Dollar Values in Pandas DataFrame: A Step-by-Step Solution
Python / Pandas: Split Dollar Values in a Single Column to Separate Columns In this article, we’ll explore how to split dollar values in a single column of a DataFrame into separate columns using the Pandas library. Introduction When working with financial data, it’s common to have a column representing dollar amounts. However, when you need to perform operations on these amounts separately (e.g., filtering by certain ranges), having them as separate columns can be incredibly useful.

Understanding the Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test in R: Handling Missing Values and Applications
Understanding the Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test in R The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test is a statistical method used to determine whether two probability distributions are identical. In this article, we will explore how to apply the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test in R and address a specific issue raised by a Stack Overflow user. Background of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test is based on the concept that if two probability distributions are identical, then there should not be any difference between their cumulative distribution functions (CDFs).

Plotting a Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) from a Pandas Series with Index as X-Axis
Plotting a Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) from a Pandas Series with Index as X-Axis Introduction When working with time series data, it’s common to have a Pandas series that represents the counts for each value of its index. In this scenario, you might want to visualize the cumulative distribution function (CDF), which plots the proportion of values below a given point on the x-axis. In this article, we’ll explore how to plot a CDF from a Pandas series with the index as the x-axis.

Customizing Graphs with ggplot2: Multiple Sets of Data and Different Shapes
Here is the code to create a graph with two sets of data, one for each set of points. # Create a figure with two sets of data, one for each set of points. df <- data.frame(x = 1:10, y1 = rnorm(10, mean=50, sd=5), y2 = rnorm(10, mean=30, sd=3)) df$y3 <- df$y1 + 10 df$y4 <- df$y1 - 10 # Plot the two sets of data. ggplot(df, aes(x=x,y=y1)) + geom_point(size=2) + geom_line(color="blue") + geom_line(data = df[df$y3>0,], aes(y=y3), color="red")+ labs(title='Two Sets of Data', subtitle='Plotting the Two Sets of Data', x='X-axis', y='Y-axis')+ ggplot(df, aes(x=x,y=y2)) + geom_point(size=2) + geom_line(color="blue") + geom_line(data = df[df$y4<0,], aes(y=y4), color="green")+ labs(title='Two Sets of Data', subtitle='Plotting the Two Sets of Data', x='X-axis', y='Y-axis') This code uses ggplot2 to create two plots with different colors and styles.
