14.5 Statistics with pandas

pandas implements versions of all the statistical functions we saw in section 14.1. The describe method summarizes many of these for the columns with numeric data. It returns a DataFrame.

concert_df.describe()

               Id         Age  1995 Concerts
count   100.00000  100.000000     100.000000
mean   1049.69000   40.620000       1.880000
std      29.28084    4.556669       2.275384
min    1000.00000   29.000000       0.000000
25%    1024.75000   38.000000       0.000000
50%    1049.50000   40.000000       0.000000
75%    1074.25000   43.000000       4.000000
max    1100.00000   52.000000       7.000000

14.5.1 Means, and medians, and deviations, oh my

pandas provides methods to compute each of these statistics. mean operates on a DataFrame object and returns the computed averages as a Series:

concert_df.mean()

Id               1049.69
Age                40.62
1995 Concerts...
