Content: This book is a practical guide to data cleaning, broadly defined as all tasks necessary to prepare data for analysis. It is organized by the tasks usually completed during the data cleaning process: importing data, viewing data diagnostically, identifying outliers and unexpected values, imputing values, tidying data, and so on.

Each recipe walks the reader from raw data through the completion of a specific data cleaning task. There are already a number of very good pandas books.

Unsurprisingly, there is some overlap between those texts and this one. However, the emphasis here is different. I focus as much on the why as on the how in this book.
