What are some effective techniques for using groupby in pandas?

You can use groupby to aggregate data, apply functions, and transform datasets. What specific technique are you interested in?

Can you explain how to use groupby with aggregation functions?

Sure! You can use methods like .sum(), .mean(), or .count() after groupby to aggregate data. For example, df.groupby('column_name').sum() will sum values for each group.

How can I apply multiple aggregation functions at once?

You can use the .agg() method to apply multiple functions. For example, df.groupby('column_name').agg({'other_column': ['sum', 'mean']}) will give you both the sum and mean.

What about using groupby with filtering?

You can filter groups using .filter() after groupby. For instance, df.groupby('column_name').filter(lambda x: x['value'].mean() > threshold) will keep groups with a mean above a certain threshold.
