What are Python pandas equivalents for R functions like str(), summary(), and head()?
In pandas the info()
method creates a very similar output like R's str()
:
> str(train)

This provides output similar to R's str()
. It presents unique values instead of initial values.
def rstr(df): return df.shape, df.apply(lambda x: [x.unique()])
print(rstr(iris))
