NA handling methods

 

isnull, not null

The built-in Python None value is also treated as NA in object arrays

 

dropna

There are a few ways to filter out missing data. While you always have the option to do it by hand using pandas.isnull and boolean indexing, the dropna can be helpful. On a Series, it returns the Series with only the non-null data and index values.

 

With DataFrame objects, things are a bit more complex. You may want to drop rows or columns that are all NA or only those containing any NAs.

dropna by default drops any row containing a missing value.

 

To drop columns in the same way, pass axis=1 

thresh - Require that many non-NA value

 

fillna

 

Calling fillna with a dict, you can use a different fill value for each column

 

fillna returns a new object, but you can modify the existing object in-place

 

method{‘backfill’, ‘bfill’, ‘pad’, ‘ffill’, None}, default None
