When working with files in Python, it’s often necessary to manipulate the file names and extensions to perform various tasks such as renaming or processing files. However, extracting the filename without the extension from a given path can be tricky. Fortunately, python provides a straightforward way to achieve this using the os.path module and also […]

In Python, we can measure the strength and direction of the association between two variables this statistical measure is known as Spearman correlation. It does not assume a linear relationship between the variables or that the variables are normally distributed. We compare the ranks of the values of the two variables being compared. It measures
In this article, we make ourselves familiar with one more file type the Stata files in Python which come with several extensions(.dta,.ado,.do,.smcl, etc explained below). We also look at different methods to return a dictionary associating each variable name with the corresponding label. Understanding Stata Files Academic and research communities widely use Stata software a

To read data from fixed-width formatted text files to DataFrame, pandas have introduced a function called read_fwf().So what are fixed-width formatted text files? Fixed-width formatted text files are files where each field in a row has a fixed width or fixed number of characters. These types of files were primarily used in legacy systems for
In statistics, Bootstrap Sampling is a method that involves retrieving of subset data repeatedly with replacement from a vast data source to calculate a population parameter. Sampling is the process of selecting a subset or smaller dataset from a vast collection of data to calculate a certain characteristic of the entire data set. Sampling with
Let us get familiar with an interesting approach to retrieving the week number in python. As we know Python has provided us with many useful and easy functions to get our desired output, one of them allows us to get the current week, specified week, or a range of week numbers via isocalendar() functions of
Understanding the importance of hostnames and knowing how to retrieve them using Python can be crucial in various applications and scenarios. In this article, we will explore different methods to retrieve the system hostname in Python using the os, platform, and socket modules. We will also discuss what a system hostname is and provide examples

Have you wondered how we calculate distance using longitude and latitude in python? Well, let’s figure it out. In this article, we explore four methods to calculate the distance between two points using latitude and longitude in Python. These methods include the Haversine formula, Math module, Geodesic distance, and Great Circle formula. Each method has
In this article, we learn how to find the difference between two lists in python using .set() .union() and numpy functions in python. Lists in python are data structures which are a collection of elements that are ordered and mutable which allows us to perform operations on them. By finding the difference between them we

In this article, we learn about different methods used to detect an outlier in Python. Z-score method, Interquartile Range (IQR) method, and Tukey’s fences method will be implemented. Python provides modules like numpy and scipy which assist us in detecting the outlier of a given data set. Understanding Outliers Outlier is python is any value
