In this course, you will learn how to perform predictive data analysis using Python. The ideal audience is those who want to start their careers as data analysts. The main goal of this course is to show you how to use statistics to draw useful insights from data which can help in predicting future behavior or patterns.

Beyond that, you’ll learn all the tools of the trade that data scientists use everyday including: NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, and Seaborn. You’ll learn not only how to extract meaningful insights from data, but you’ll also learn how to create stunning visualizations that you can use for reports.

Various datasets of real-world scenarios are used in each lesson to get you accustomed to handling any type of data. At the end of the course, you will work on two real-world projects that demonstrate how data analysis techniques are being used in the financial and advertisement sector to generate revenue.

Predictive Data Analysis with Python

The grouping and aggregating functions can sometimes seem similar, but they are actually consecutive steps in obtaining important insights about data. Data is first grouped using the `groupby()` clause explained in the [previous](https://www.educative.io/courses/predictive-data-analysis-with-python/data-grouping) lesson. Then, aggregating functions and techniques can be applied to fetch the required information from the data.

# Aggregation

It is a process of applying operations on groups of data to extract useful insights. Let's understand this with an example. Some random animals are defined with hypothetical `legs`, `weight`, `height`, and `protein` values. Our task is to compute the *average* amount of `legs`, `weight`, `height`, and `protein` a certain `animal` class can have.

In this lesson, an explanation is provided on data aggregation and its various techniques.
