How can I use Dask DataFrames for large datasets?

Dask DataFrames allow you to work with large datasets that don't fit into memory by breaking them into smaller chunks. You can perform operations like filtering, grouping, and aggregating just like with Pandas.

Can you show me a simple example of creating a Dask DataFrame?

Sure! You can create a Dask DataFrame from a CSV file like this:

import dask.dataframe as dd

df = dd.read_csv('large_dataset.csv')

What operations can I perform on a Dask DataFrame?

You can perform many operations such as map_partitions, groupby, merge, and join, similar to Pandas, but they will be executed in parallel.

How do I visualize a Dask DataFrame?

You can visualize a Dask DataFrame using the compute() method to bring the data into memory and then use libraries like Matplotlib or Seaborn for plotting.
