STS-208: PAPER VIII: DATA SCIENCE USING PYTHON

PRACTICAL-IV

Objectives & Outcomes:

1. The main objective of this laboratory is to put into practice the ETL (extract, transform, load)
pipeline which will extract raw data, clean the data, perform transformations on data, load
data and visualize the data.
2. In this course students are expected to extract, transform and load input data that can be
textfiles, CSV files, XML files, JSON, HTML files, SQL databases, NoSQL databases etc.,.
For doing this, they should learn the following Python libraries/modules: pandas, numpy,
BeautifulSoup, pymysql, pymongo, nltk, matplotlib

Datasets:
For this laboratory, appropriate publicly available datasets, can be studied and used.
MNIST (http://yann.lecun.com/exdb/mnist/ ),
UCI Machine Learning Repository: (https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets.html ),
Kaggle: (https://www.kaggle.com/datasets )

LIST OF PRACTICALS DATA SCIENCE USING PYTHON

1. Write programs to parse text files, CSV, HTML, XML and JSON documents and extract
relevant data. After retrieving data check any anomalies in the data, missing values etc.
2. Write programs for reading and writing binary files
3. Write programs for searching, splitting, and replacing strings based on pattern matching
using regular expressions.
4. Design a relational database for a small application and populate the database. Using SQL
do the CRUD (create, read, update and delete) operations.
5. Create a Python Mongo DB client using the Python module pymongo. Using a collection
object practice functions for inserting, searching, removing, updating, replacing, and
aggregating documents, as well as for creating indexes
6. Write programs to create Numpy arrays of different shapes and from different sources,
reshape and slice arrays, add array indexes, and apply arithmetic, logic, and aggregation
functions to some or all array elements.
7. Write programs to use the Pandas data structures: Frames and series as storage containers
and for a variety of data-wrangling operations, such as:
• Single-level and hierarchical indexing
• Handling missing data
• Arithmetic and Boolean operations on entire columns and tables
• Database-type operations (such as merging and aggregation)
• Plotting individual columns and whole tables
• Reading data from files and writing data to files
