Comparing Relationships in Dataframes with Python Comparing Relationships in Dataframes with Python If you work with data, chances are you will need to compare different datasets to each other. One specific task could be to compare the relationships between categorical variables in different datasets. In this blog post, we will use Python and its powerful libraries such as Pandas and NumPy to accomplish this task. What are we trying to achieve? Imagine you have two datasets, a 'base' and a 'comparison' dataset. Each dataset has the same categorical variables, for example 'degree_type' and 'acad_degree'. You want to check if the relationship between these variables is the same in both datasets. For instance, if in the base dataset 'AAS' always corresponds to 'Associates', you want to ensure the same applies to the comparison dataset. How do we do it? We start by creating a function, let's cal...
