The groupby() function is one of the most powerful and frequently used methods in Pandas. It allows you to split a DataFrame into groups based on one or more columns, apply operations to each group independently, and combine the results back together. This split-apply-combine workflow is essential for data analysis, aggregation, and summarization tasks.
Pandas, while a powerful tool for data manipulation and analysis, can sometimes struggle with performance on large datasets. To overcome this, leveraging the power of multi-core processing is crucial. (more…)
