In this chapter, we attempted to compare key features in R and SQL with their pandas equivalents in order to achieve the following objectives:
- To assist R, SQL, and SAS users who may wish to replicate the same functionality in pandas
- To assist any users who on reading some R, SQL, and SAS code, may wish to rewrite the code in pandas
In the next chapter, we will conclude the book by providing a brief introduction to the scikit-learn library for performing machine learning, and we will demonstrate how pandas fits in that framework.
