- Support for model evaluation and selection
- Preprocessing tools for transforming data
7. Statsmodels
- Overview: A library that provides classes and functions for estimating and interpreting statistical models.
- Key Features:
- Support for linear regression, logistic regression, time series analysis, and more
- Tools for statistical tests and hypothesis testing
- Comprehensive output for model diagnostics
8. Dask
- Overview: A flexible parallel computing library for analytics that enables larger-than-memory computing.
- Key Features:
- Parallel computation across multiple cores or distributed systems
- Integrates seamlessly with Pandas and NumPy
- Lazy evaluation for optimized performance
9. Vaex
- Overview: A library designed for out-of-core DataFrames that allows you to work with large datasets (billions of rows) efficiently.
- Key Features:
- Fast exploration of big data without loading it into memory
- Support for filtering, aggregating, and joining large datasets
10. PySpark
- Overview: The Python API for Apache Spark, allowing you to leverage the capabilities of distributed computing for big data processing.
- Key Features:
- Fast processing of large datasets
- Built-in support for SQL, streaming data, and machine learning
Conclusion
These libraries form a robust ecosystem for data analysis in Python. Depending on your specific needs—be it data manipulation, statistical analysis, or visualization—you can choose the right combination of libraries to effectively analyze and visualize your data. As you explore these libraries, practice with real datasets to reinforce your understanding and improve your data analysis skills!

i dont consider myself a 'fashion guru' by any means but one thing i will say is guys you dont need to know the specific brand an item you like is - you need to know what the item is called. very rarely does a brand matter, but knowing that pair of pants is called 'cargo' vs 'boot cut' or the names of dress styles is going to help you find clothes you like WAAAYYYY faster than brand shopping
Today's Adventure is that I, after an unintentional 13-hour power nap,
Got woken up at 6AM by a phone call from a friend stranded in Montana because of the heat wave and almost no cell service because of their crap provider.
OhSoThat'sHowIt'sGonnaBe.jpg
Ok.
I somehow summon a week's worth of spoons and in less than 30 minutes and 5 phone calls, get them
A hotel
An appointment with a mechanic from 2 states away
A perscription refilled from 2 states away
and A Pizza
Go me.
But then it's 8AM and there are unscheduled live humans at the door and while EVERGENCY MODE is still on, I have already blown through a ton of spoons, and also probably shouldn't meet whoever it is wearing just a pair of bootyshorts that say "CRYPTID" in Gothic Font on my ass.
So I greet them in those shorts and a T-shirt that I manage to put on both inside out and backwards

It is, Fortunately, not the mormons.
it is, Unfortunately, two UPS guys trying to deliver my other in-house friend's new phone except the new guy doesn't know how to operate the "sign for package" device, and the old guy that's supposed to be mentoring him is like, 92, deaf as a post, and doesn't actually know how to operate the device either.
by the way
it is already
over 100 out
it takes almost 30 minutes to sign for the phone
when i get back inside, i discover that apparently the Corgi has learned how to open his kennel from the inside because he is now out of the kennel and waiting for me to come in.
he also has cat litter all over his face because while he was waiting for me he also learned how to open the baby gate to the cat's room and help himself to a cat shit breakfast.
He'll be fine
He's a cattle dog, they're legally required to have at least 1 really disgusting snack they love.
but
more to the point
i have no idea at what point he learned to open his kennel from the inside
has he been staying there out of politeness this whole time??
And
I got other shit to do today.
namely.
I'm seeing a realator
The Devils most pathetic yet effective demons
I get a reminder text that I have an appointment with her
at least
I think that's what it is because what she sends me is: "🏡⏰12:00 ❔"
With the time typed in the middle like that.
She is, according to her profile, at least 80.
so I reply "😎👍"
and then she sends me a string of GODDAMN POST-MODERN EMOJI HEIROGLYPHICS THAT TAKE UP MY ENTIRE SCREEN.
She's on an iPhone so half of them don't even translate across platforms
It takes me half an hour and three different software programs and goddamn wingdings to translate, but she has sent me the address and rules about masking and not wearing shoes inside.
in emoji
instead of like
literally any other format
I am
FASCINATED
and simply must meet the woman so if I don't come back to update I got stolen by the fairies but I'm taking the Corgi with me as protection so I'll see y'all later.
the most disorienting thing thats ever happened to me was when a linguistics major stopped in the middle of our conversation, looked me in the eye, and said, "you have a very interesting vernacular. were you on tumblr in 2014?" and i had to just stand there and process that one for a good ten seconds

Hey guys! Those of you who’ve followed me for a while already know I get anxiety, caused by anything from too much sugar, any amount of caffeine, or having to talk to someone in the grocery store. So I wanted to share this lovely thing I’ve found to help deal with it!
This is Morpheus, my sleepy time anxiety companion. (Isn’t he cute?) I found a mention online and these guys are meant to help address anxiety and sleep issues! Here’s how it works.
There’s a little egg in his tummy, when I hit the button Morpheus starts to pulse out a heartbeat rhythm. What’s really cool about this is lots of studies show that our heartbeats will slow down and match another heartbeat. So the beat will start measured and a bit loud (this is relative, you can’t hear or feel the pulse without touching the plush friend directly). Slowly it gets softer and further apart. When the button is pressed it goes through a 20 minute cycle. Generally I take about 45+ minutes to fall asleep as my mind decides that sleepy time is the best time to worry and fret over problems, but now I often fall asleep before the cycle completes.
Morpheus has also been a help during full blown panic attacks, my breathing and heartbeat will start to match his almost immediately, which is more than I could’ve hoped for. I’m sure that results may vary, but if you have anxiety, panic attacks, or trouble sleeping, you can find them here. (They also come in puppy friends!) They ship from Japan, and all instructions are in Japanese, but he was so simple to use, it hasn’t been a problem, but you might have to wait a bit for your own sleep time friend.
Oh, interesting! Nothing bad has ever come from a Car company buying a rail line, nope nothing at all
