Questions to [David Rotermund](mailto:davrot@uni-bremen.de)
```shell
pip install pandas
```
## [Pandas](https://pandas.pydata.org/)
The two most important data types of Pandas are:
* Series
* Data Frames
> “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.”​
It is the basis for:
* [scipy.stats](https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/stats.html)
> This module contains a large number of probability distributions, summary and frequency statistics, correlation functions and statistical tests, masked statistics, kernel density estimation, quasi-Monte Carlo functionality, and more.
* [Pingouin](https://pingouin-stats.org/build/html/index.html)
> Pingouin is an open-source statistical package written in Python 3 and based mostly on Pandas and NumPy.
* [rPy2](https://rpy2.github.io/)
> rpy2 is an interface to R running embedded in a Python process.
## [Pandas.Series](https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/reference/api/pandas.Series.html#pandas-series)
```python
class pandas.Series(data=None, index=None, dtype=None, name=None, copy=None, fastpath=False)
```
> One-dimensional ndarray with axis labels (including time series).
>
> Labels need not be unique but must be a hashable type. The object supports both integer- and label-based indexing and provides a host of methods for performing operations involving the index. Statistical methods from ndarray have been overridden to automatically exclude missing data (currently represented as NaN).
>
> Operations between Series (+, -, /, *, **) align values based on their associated index values they need not be the same length. The result index will be the sorted union of the two indexes.
Examples:
```python
import pandas as pd
example = pd.Series(["Bambu", "Tree", "Sleep"])
print(example)
```
Output:
```python
0 Bambu
1 Tree
2 Sleep
dtype: object
```
```python
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
example = pd.Series([99, 88, 32])
print(example)
```
Output:
```python
0 99
1 88
2 32
dtype: int64
```
```python
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
rng = np.random.default_rng()
a = rng.random((5))
example = pd.Series(a)
print(example)
```
Output:
```python
0 0.305920
1 0.633360
2 0.219094
3 0.005722
4 0.006673
dtype: float64
```
```python
import pandas as pd
example = pd.Series(["Bambu", 3, "Sleep"])
print(example)
```
Output:
```python
0 Bambu
1 3
2 Sleep
dtype: object
```
