TATR: Panda Dataframe Manipulation

Introduction 

This recipe is part of the Text Analysis for Twitter Research (TATR) series. This recipe will describe Panda dataframe manipulation, in particular the techniques used for some of the more advanced Twitter analysis found in the TATR library.

Ingredients 
Steps 
  • Open a new Jupyter Notebook and import the following libraries:
    • PANDAS
    • NUMPY
  • Import Twitter data
  • Create 8 entries, and assign the following 3 values to each:
