"Once your data is loaded into pandas, it will most likely be in a `DataFrame`. But if your `DataFrame` contains 60,000 rows and 400 columns, where do you even start to understand what you're working with? Luckily, pandas offers some handy tools to quickly get an overview of a `DataFrame` as well as a glimpse of its first and last few rows.\n",
"\n",
"To explore this functionality, we will import the Python scikit-learn library and use a classic dataset that every data scientist has encountered countless times: British biologist Ronald Fisher's *Iris* dataset, featured in his 1936 paper \"The use of multiple measurements in taxonomic problems\":\n"

"### Missing Data\n",
"Let’s explore the concept of missing data. Missing data occurs when certain columns have no value stored.\n",
"\n",
"For example, imagine someone is very conscious about their weight and chooses not to fill out the weight field in a survey. In this case, the weight value for that individual will be missing.\n",
"\n",
"In real-world datasets, missing values are quite common.\n",
"\n",
"**How Pandas Handles Missing Data**\n",
"\n",
"Pandas deals with missing values in two ways. The first method, which you’ve encountered in earlier sections, is `NaN` (Not a Number). This is a special value defined by the IEEE floating-point specification and is specifically used to represent missing floating-point values.\n",
"\n",
"For missing values that are not floats, pandas uses Python’s `None` object. While it might seem confusing to encounter two different types of values that essentially indicate the same thing, there are solid programming reasons behind this design choice. In practice, this approach allows pandas to strike a good balance for most use cases. However, it’s important to note that both `None` and `NaN` come with certain limitations regarding how they can be used.\n"

"### `None`: non-float missing data\n",
"Since `None` originates from Python, it cannot be used in NumPy and pandas arrays unless their data type is `'object'`. Keep in mind that NumPy arrays (and pandas data structures) are designed to hold only one type of data. This characteristic is what makes them incredibly powerful for handling large-scale data and performing computations, but it also restricts their flexibility. These arrays must convert to the \"lowest common denominator,\" which is the data type capable of accommodating all elements in the array. If `None` is present in the array, it indicates that you are working with Python objects.\n",

"The reality of upcasting data types comes with two consequences. First, operations will be executed at the level of Python's interpreted code rather than NumPy's compiled code. In practice, this means that any operations involving `Series` or `DataFrames` containing `None` will be slower. While this performance impact might not be noticeable in smaller datasets, it could become problematic for larger ones.\n",
"\n",
"The second consequence is a direct result of the first. Since `None` essentially pulls `Series` or `DataFrames` back into the realm of standard Python, using NumPy/pandas aggregation functions like `sum()` or `min()` on arrays that include a `None` value will typically result in an error:\n"

"1. Removing null values is advisable only when the dataset is sufficiently large. \n",
"2. Entire rows or columns can be removed if the majority of their data is missing. \n",
"3. The `DataFrame.dropna(axis=)` method is useful for eliminating null values. The `axis` parameter determines whether rows or columns are removed. \n",
"4. The `how` parameter can also be utilized. By default, it is set to `any`, meaning it removes rows/columns containing any null values. It can be changed to `all` to specify that only rows/columns where all values are null should be removed. \n"

"### Filling null values\n",
"\n",
"Sometimes, it makes sense to replace missing values with ones that could be considered valid. There are several techniques to handle null values. The first involves using Domain Knowledge (expertise in the subject area related to the dataset) to estimate the missing values.\n",
"\n",
"You could use `isnull` to fill these values directly, but this can be tedious, especially if there are many values to replace. Since this is a common task in data science, pandas offers the `fillna` method, which creates a copy of the `Series` or `DataFrame` with the missing values replaced by a value of your choice. Let's create another example `Series` to see how this works in practice.\n"

"In most cases, missing values in these columns are replaced with the `mode` of the column. For example, if we have 100 data points, where 90 indicate True, 8 indicate False, and 2 are missing, we can fill the 2 missing values with True, based on the overall distribution in the column.\n",
