I cannot see any reason for the pandas tag to exist on CV. It would seem this is very specifically about code, and not directly statistical/ML code.
But I've never used pandas.
EDIT:
One point I did not make clear enough in the original post is that, as far as I know, pandas
is not a package containing any implementation of statistical methodology (or machine learning); it's just a commonly used tool for storing and organizing data. It is my understanding that a question about, say, scikit-learn
could easily be on topic, especially if the question focused on the statistical methodology behind the tools in the package. But it seems like a question about SQL is almost surely off topic. For me, a tag like pandas is much closer to sql than it is to scikit-learn.
But maybe pandas
does more than I recognize?
r
,python
, etc. OTOH, sub-software tags are ambiguous. It seems clear to me thatlme4-lme
has sufficient statistical content, but I'm not sure if, say,ggplot2
does, & I'm not python savvy enough to know ifpandas
is more likeggplot2
orlme4-lme
. I suspectscikit-learn
is likelme4-lme
. (On the 3rd hand, if we do start depreciating these, it's going to be a lot of work, & we don't seem to make a lot of progress on tag management tasks.) $\endgroup$ – gung - Reinstate Monica Mar 6 '17 at 17:34[pandas]
a synonym of[python]
so that it could be discussed & voted on explicitly. $\endgroup$ – gung - Reinstate Monica Mar 7 '17 at 12:21
