Pandas errors and their solutions


Problem 1: Grouper for is not 1-dimensional

I was writing a nice little script in pandas where I wanted to group some data using some identifier columns. And then suddenly the error popped in the console was: Grouper for Id is not 1-dimensional. And I started investigating for it.

Solution:

This error comes if there are multiple copies of the same grouper column. In that case, you will find this error.

Problem 2: unhashable type: numpy.ndarray

This is a more generalized type of error. There are multiple instances where this error occurs; including when you try to treat a numpy ndarray object as a value or a string type object and so on. I encountered this problem when I tried to group a bunch of values in which a column contained arrays as entries. If your pandas dataframe contains array or np.ndarray as values of single cells, then this dataframe can not be further used for other different actions even like drop_duplicates. But this is not easily visible. Often array will be entered as the value in your dataframe cells by mistake and then on later lines of codes, you will find this error.
The solution is here to find out where did you enter the array values in the dataframe and then turning the array into a single integer or string type object. i.e. if your cell value is currently array([0.628]) then you should use array.values[0] which will give you 0.628. So this is how you can solve this problem. Other types of problems, i.e. normally trying to take array[0] from a n-dimensional array or some more explicit errors also can lead to this issue. Here is a link to stack exchange for the same issue.

20 Must-Know Math Puzzles for Data Science Interviews: Test Your Problem-Solving Skills

Introduction:   When preparing for a data science interview, brushing up on your coding and statistical knowledge is crucial—but math puzzles also play a significant role. Many interviewers use puzzles to assess how candidates approach complex problems, test their logical reasoning, and gauge their problem-solving efficiency. These puzzles are often designed to test not only your knowledge of math but also your ability to think critically and creatively. Here, we've compiled 20 challenging yet exciting math puzzles to help you prepare for data science interviews. We’ll walk you through each puzzle, followed by an explanation of the solution. 1. The Missing Dollar Puzzle Puzzle: Three friends check into a hotel room that costs $30. They each contribute $10. Later, the hotel realizes there was an error and the room actually costs $25. The hotel gives $5 back to the bellboy to return to the friends, but the bellboy, being dishonest, pockets $2 and gives $1 back to each friend. No...

Deep Learning by Ian GoodFellow, Yoshua Bengio and Aaron courville Review

History: I have been reading deep learning topics from a number of resources like machine learning mastery by Jason Brawlee, Analyticsvidhya, and other blog resources. But the problem has stayed, the problem of inconsistency in the knowledge. Therefore, I have decided to now sit down, and go through a deep learning book thoroughly. And what better name for deep learning other than Ian Goodfellow! So I have found this book named Deep Learning by Ian Goodfellow. Introduction: Plan for this post is reviewing and rewriting the topics from the book, in simpler language and for sharing the pieces of knowledge with my readers. I will update this post continuously as I proceed with the reading also. So ideally this post is broadly about basic to advanced deep learning material discussion.

Pyarabic: python package for Arabic language

 Introduction:  In languages which are non-english and non-european as well, NLP work has progressed slowly in the last few decades because of the lesser number of scholars working on them as well as a lack of global interest in them. But now the time has changed and people from all over the world are collaborating on these lesser explored libraries and they are building resources for working on these languages with the same ease with that of english.  Pyarabic is a package created from such a similar effort which deals with the intricate details of the arabic language and helps processing all kinds of arabic texts. While trying to learn it, being from a non-arab background, I couldn't read lots of parts of the main readthedocs site and had to work my around it. So in this blog post, I will summarize my learnings in english language, so that you can learn it and use the package with much more ease than me. [Credit where credit is due: this article heavily uses the ac...
