Hands-On Implementation

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
Data preparation pipeline for ML

def prepare_data(df):
    """Common data preprocessing steps."""
    # 1. Handle missing values
    df = df.fillna(df.median(numeric_only=True))
    
    # 2. Remove duplicates
    df = df.drop_duplicates()
    
    # 3. Feature engineering
    if 'date' in df.columns:
        df['day_of_week'] = pd.to_datetime(df['date']).dt.dayofweek
    
    return df
Create sample dataset

np.random.seed(42)
df = pd.DataFrame({
    'feature_1': np.random.randn(100),
    'feature_2': np.random.uniform(0, 10, 100),
    'category': np.random.choice(['A', 'B', 'C'], 100),
    'target': np.random.randint(0, 2, 100)
})
Add some missing values

df.loc[5:10, 'feature_1'] = np.nan
print(f"Before: {df.isnull().sum().sum()} missing values")
df = prepare_data(df)
print(f"After: {df.isnull().sum().sum()} missing values")
print(f"Shape: {df.shape}")
print(f"\nTarget distribution: {df['target'].value_counts().to_dict()}")
