The last time I wrote about data analysis, I shared how to navigate through the data and how to do the basic descriptive analysis. Now, high time to start diving in, and do some analysis such as correlation! For that we will install SciPy, Pandas, and Matplotlib libraries. I will talk about three different correlation…

It has been a while since I wrote my last blog, and here I brought you news from a recent event, Django girls workshop! (For those who are wondering what Django is,  it is a Python web framework.)  Django girls is an excellent initiation for women who are interested in IT. They organize free workshops…

A few days ago, I attended the Python Pizza event for the first time. It was in Berlin, a city very much reminding me of Ankara. And a small tip for people going to Berlin via train from Prague on Friday: reserve a seat. We had to stand up half of our journey! Anyways, after…

Let us first see the descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation, min and max values. To do that: Sometimes, when we prepare our data for the…

Here comes another challenge for this week. So, you are organizing an event, and some people will pay the costs via bank transfer.

No problem, I said to my colleague:) Yes, you can enjoy the moments of being problem solver:) First, I saved the attachment to the same directory with my .py file, .csv file (for personalized messages),…

In most areas of science, we need to do data analysis, and evolutionary psychology was no exception to that. A decade ago!, I was taught to use SPSS for data analysis. Recently, I see that R has been the rising star among psychologists. In this blog, I will try to show how to explore your…

Have you ever been in a position where you have to send 100 emails to 100 different people? I recently have. I also had to address the recipients in the email personally: “Dear Anton/Alex/etc.” High time to use Python and automatize my work! I will walk you through this short adventure, but I may not…

2015 is the year that I first heard about Python (and I still, 99% of the time, misspell it as Pyhton). I was an MS student in cognitive science, and I had to take the course “Logic and Programming (Python)”. Our class included two types of students: the ones from social/natural sciences, and the engineers….
