Limpeza de dados em Python

In this chapter, you'll learn how to overcome some of the most common dirty data problems. You'll convert data types, apply range constraints to remove future data points, and remove duplicated data points to avoid double-counting.

Categorical and text data can often be some of the messiest parts of a dataset due to their unstructured nature. In this chapter, you’ll learn how to fix whitespace and capitalization inconsistencies in category labels, collapse multiple categories into one, and reformat strings for consistency.

In this chapter, you'll dive into more advanced data cleaning problems, such as ensuring that weights are all written in kilograms instead of pounds. You'll also gain invaluable skills that will help you verify that values have been added correctly, and that missing values don't negatively impact your analyses.

Record linkage is a powerful technique used to merge multiple datasets together, used when values have typos or different spellings. In this chapter, you'll learn how to link records by calculating the similarity between strings—you'll then use your new skills to join two restaurant review datasets into one clean master dataset.
