Q1Domain Verified
In "The Complete Pandas Data Wrangling Course 2026", which of the following methods is primarily recommended for efficiently handling missing values when a simple imputation strategy like filling with a constant or the mean/median is insufficient, and a more nuanced approach considering temporal or sequential dependencies is required?
`df.dropna(axis=1, how='any')`
`df.fillna(method='ffill')`
`df.replace(np.nan, 'Unknown')`
`df.interpolate(method='linear')`
Q2Domain Verified
The "The Complete Pandas Data Wrangling Course 2026" highlights that when performing a complex aggregation on a DataFrame where the aggregation function needs access to the group key itself, which of the following approaches is the most idiomatic and efficient for achieving this within Pandas?
Using `df.agg()` with a dictionary where keys are desired output column names and values are aggregation functions.
Iterating through `df.groupby('column')` and manually constructing the result.
Employing `pd.merge` after performing separate aggregations on different groups.
Using `df.groupby('column').apply(lambda x: custom_function(x, x.name))`
Q3Domain Verified
According to "The Complete Pandas Data Wrangling Course 2026", when dealing with a large DataFrame and needing to perform a series of row-wise operations that involve conditional logic based on multiple columns, which method is generally discouraged due to performance implications, and what is the recommended alternative for efficient vectorized operations?
Discouraged: Vectorized operations using boolean indexing and `.loc`, Recommended: `df.apply(axis=1)`.
Discouraged: `df.apply(axis=1)`, Recommended: Vectorized operations using boolean indexing and `.loc`.
Discouraged: `df.itertuples()`, Recommended: `df.apply(axis=1)`.
Discouraged: `df.iterrows()`, Recommended: `df.apply(axis=0)`.
