John Griner Python Tutor Available

[John Griner]

   To whom it may concern,

I am not sure if this is appropriate, but I would like to somehow
   `advertise' my classes.  I have a free workshop: Intro to Python: Data
   Wrangling, Visualization, List and Tuples and a series that consist of 3
   parts, (1) Data Wrangling (2) Data Visualization and (3) List and Tuples.
   The free workshop is a broad overview of the series that consist of 3
   classes. It was designed for the beginner, but someone with intermediate
   to advanced knowledge of Python may also benefit.  I also have 2 other
   more advanced courses, and after sometime, I will offer other, more
   advanced courses.



   If you would like the link to join, I can provide the link, and if you ae
   unsure of whether or not you want to take the courses, just take the free
   workshop.



   Best, John Griner

Recoding Categorical to Numerical

[John Griner]

Hello, and thanks in advance,

 I am trying to recode categorical variable to numeric.  Despite using
lambda, If else, dummy-recoding, and so forth, what I get is from ONE
column that has 4 variables (City, Town, Suburb, Rural), I get FOUR columns:



localeDummy_City  localeDummy_Town  localeDummy_Suburb
localeDummy_Rural   locale_recode



with the corresponding numeric variable.



What I want is the recode to have ONE column that has the numeric
conversion.



For instance:


local_recode

2

4

4

6

2

8

6

2

8

2

2

4

6

4

8

and so forth, where I have set City to 2, and Town to 4, etc.


Again, thanks, John
