Let’s create a Python NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) deal analysis using pandas. In this analysis, we can use pandas to manage and analyze data related to NIL deals. Let’s break it down into a few steps:
- Importing Libraries
- Loading Data
- Exploring Data
- Analyzing Data
- Visualizing Results
1. Importing Libraries
First, you’ll need to import the necessary libraries. pandas
is essential for data manipulation, and matplotlib
or seaborn
can be used for visualization.
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
2. Loading Data
Assuming you have a dataset in a CSV file containing information about NIL deals, you can load it into a pandas DataFrame.
# Load the data
df = pd.read_csv('nil_deals.csv')
# Display the first few rows of the dataframe
print(df.head())
3. Exploring Data
It’s important to understand the structure of your data. Look at the column names, data types, and check for any missing values.
# Summarize total deal amount by athlete
total_deals_by_athlete = df.groupby('athlete_name')['deal_amount'].sum().sort_values(ascending=False)
print(total_deals_by_athlete)
4. Analyzing Data
Here are some common analyses you might perform:
