In this guided project, we'll work with a dataset of used cars from eBay Kleinanzeigen, a classifieds section of the German eBay website.
The dataset was originally scraped and uploaded to Kaggle. The version of the dataset we are working with is a sample of 50,000 data points that was prepared by Dataquest including simulating a less-cleaned version of the data.
The data dictionary provided with data is as follows:
dateCrawled
- When this ad was first crawled. All field-values are taken from this date.name
- Name of the car.seller
- Whether the seller is private or a dealer.offerType
- The type of listingprice
- The price on the ad to sell the car.abtest
- Whether the listing is included in an A/B test.vehicleType
- The vehicle Type.yearOfRegistration
- The year in which which year the car was first registered.gearbox
- The transmission type.powerPS
- The power of the car in PS.model
- The car model name.kilometer
- How many kilometers the car has driven.monthOfRegistration
- The month in which which year the car was first registered.fuelType
- What type of fuel the car uses.brand
- The brand of the car.notRepairedDamage
- If the car has a damage which is not yet repaired.dateCreated
- The date on which the eBay listing was created.nrOfPictures
- The number of pictures in the ad.postalCode
- The postal code for the location of the vehicle.lastSeenOnline
- When the crawler saw this ad last online.The aim of this project is to clean the data and analyze the included used car listings.
We'll import the NumPy and Pandas libraries and then read the CSV file into Pandas.
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
First, we'll try to read the file without specifying any encoding (which will default to UTF-8 which is the most common encoding)
## autos = pd.read_csv('autos.csv') Gives the UnicodeDecodeError
Since our file has an unknown encoding, we try other common encodings:
until we are able to read the file without error.
#reads file without error
autos = pd.read_csv('autos.csv', encoding='Latin-1')
#jupyter notebook renders the first few and last few values of any pandas object
autos

We observe that:
We'll start by cleaning the column names to make the data easier to work with.
autos.columns #columns attribute prints an array of existing column names
Index(['dateCrawled', 'name', 'seller', 'offerType', 'price', 'abtest', 'vehicleType', 'yearOfRegistration', 'gearbox', 'powerPS', 'model', 'odometer', 'monthOfRegistration', 'fuelType', 'brand', 'notRepairedDamage', 'dateCreated', 'nrOfPictures', 'postalCode', 'lastSeen'], dtype='object')
We'll make a few changes here:
autos.columns = ['date_crawled', 'name', 'seller', 'offer_type', 'price', 'ab_test',
'vehicle_type', 'registration_year', 'gearbox', 'power_ps', 'model',

We'll start by exploring the data to find obvious areas where we can clean the data.

Our initial observations:
seller
offer_type
num_photos
column looks odd, we'll need to investigate this further.autos["num_photos"].value_counts() #Return a Series containing counts of unique values in descending order
0 50000 Name: num_photos, dtype: int64
It looks like the num_photos
column has 0 for every column. We'll drop this column.
Since, columns that have mostly one value are candidates to be dropped.
We drop seller
and offer_type
columns too.
autos = autos.drop(["num_photos", "seller", "offer_type"], axis=1) #Removes rows or columns by specifying label names and corresponding axis(0 or 'index' for row, 1 or ' columns' for column )
There are two columns, price
and odometer
, which are numeric values with extra characters being stored as text. We'll clean and convert these.
#Removing non numeric characters from `price` column and conerting it to numeric dtype
autos["price"] = (autos["price"]
.str.replace("$","")
.str.replace(",","")
.astype(int)
)
autos["price"].head()
0 5000 1 8500 2 8990 3 4350 4 1350 Name: price, dtype: int64
#Removing non numeric characters from `odometer` column and conerting it to numeric dtype
autos["odometer"] = (autos["odometer"]
.str.replace("km","")
.str.replace(",","")
.astype(int)
)
#Renaming the column
# axis=1 as column is to be renamed
# Inplace = True then dataframe copy is ignored.
autos.rename({"odometer": "odometer_km"}, axis=1, inplace=True)
autos["odometer_km"].head()
0 150000 1 150000 2 70000 3 70000 4 150000 Name: odometer_km, dtype: int64
We'll analyze the columns using minimum and maximum values and look for any values that look unrealistically high or low (outliers) that we might want to remove.
autos["odometer_km"].value_counts()
150000 32424 125000 5170 100000 2169 90000 1757 80000 1436 70000 1230 60000 1164 50000 1027 5000 967 40000 819 30000 789 20000 784 10000 264 Name: odometer_km, dtype: int64
We can see that the values in odometer_km
field are rounded, which might indicate that sellers had to choose from pre-set options for this field. Also, there are more high mileage than low mileage vehicles.
print(autos["price"].unique().shape) # to see how many unique values are there
print(autos["price"].describe()) #to view min/max/median/mean etc.
# using series.value_cunts() chained to .head() as there are lot of values
autos["price"].value_counts().head(20)
(2357,) count 5.000000e+04 mean 9.840044e+03 std 4.811044e+05 min 0.000000e+00 25% 1.100000e+03 50% 2.950000e+03 75% 7.200000e+03 max 1.000000e+08 Name: price, dtype: float64

Again, the prices in this column seem rounded, however given there are 2357 unique values in the column, that may just be people's tendency to round prices on the site.
There are 1,421 cars listed with $0 price - given that this is only 2% of the of the cars, we might consider removing these rows. The maximum price is one hundred million dollars, which seems a lot, let's look at the highest prices further.
# using Series.sort_index() with ascending= False to view the highest values with their counts

There are a number of listings with prices below $30, including about 1,500 at $0. There are also a small number of listings with very high values, including 14 at around or over $1 million.
Given that eBay is an auction site, there could legitimately be items where the opening bid is $1. We will keep the $1 items, but remove anything above $350,000 since it seems that prices increase steadily to that number and then jump up to less realistic numbers.
# for removing outliers, we can do df[(df["col"] > x ) & (df["col"] < y )]
# using df[df["col"].between(x,y)] for more readability
autos = autos[autos["price"].between(1,351000)]
autos["price"].describe()

We'll now move on to the date columns and understand the date range the data covers.
There are 5 columns that should represent date values. Some of these columns were created by the crawler, some came from the website itself. We can differentiate by referring to the data dictionary:
date_crawled
: added by the crawlerlast_seen
: added by the crawlerad_created
: from the websiteregistration_month
: from the websiteregistration_year
: from the websiteThe non-registration dates i.e. date_crawled
, last_seen
, and ad_created
columns are identified as string values by pandas.We'll need to convert the data of these columns into a numerical representation so we can understand it quantitatively.
The other two columns are represented as numeric values, so we can use methods like Series.describe()
to understand the distribution without any extra data processing.
We'll explore each of these columns to learn more about the listings.
# the three string columns represent full timestamp values, like so:
autos[['date_crawled','ad_created','last_seen']][0:5]
date_crawled | ad_created | last_seen | |
---|---|---|---|
0 | 2016-03-26 17:47:46 | 2016-03-26 00:00:00 | 2016-04-06 06:45:54 |

The first 10 characters represent the day (e.g. 2016-03-12). To understand the date range, we can extract just the date values by using Series.value_counts()
to generate a distribution, and then sort by the index.
# To get relative frequencies instead of counts use nomalize=True
# To include missing values in the distribution use dropna=False
(autos["date_crawled"]
.str[:10] #to select first 10 characters in each column
.value_counts(normalize=True, dropna=False)

The crawler recorded the date it last saw any listing, which allows us to determine on what day a listing was removed, presumably because the car was sold.
The last three days contain a disproportionate amount of 'last seen' values. Given that these are 6-10x the values from the previous days, it's unlikely that there was a massive spike in sales, and more likely that these values are to do with the crawling period ending and don't indicate car sales.

There is a large variety of ad created dates. Most fall within 1-2 months of the listing date, but a few are quite old, with the oldest at around 9 months.
# Using Series.describe() to understand the distribution of registration_year
autos["registration_year"].describe()

The year that the car was first registered will likely indicate the age of the car. Looking at this column, we note some odd values. The minimum value is 1000
, long before cars were invented and the maximum is 9999
, many years into the future.
Since a car can't be first registered after the listing was seen, any vehicle with a registration year above 2016 is definitely inaccurate. Determining the earliest valid year is more difficult. Realistically, it could be somewhere in the first few decades of the 1900s.
One option is to remove the listings with these values. Let's determine what percentage of our data has invalid values (listings that fall outside the 1900 - 2016 intrval) in this column and see if it's safe to remove those rows entirely or we need more custom logic.
(~autos["registration_year"].between(1900,2016)).sum() / autos.shape[0]
0.038793369710697
Given that this is less than 4% of our data, we will remove these rows.
# Select rows that fall within a value range of `registration_year` column using `Series.between()`
autos = autos[autos["registration_year"].between(1900,2016)]

It appears that most of the vehicles were first registered in the past 20 years.
When working with data on cars, it's natural to explore variations across different car brands.

German manufacturers represent four out of the top five brands, almost 50% of the overall listings. Volkswagen is by far the most popular brand, with approximately double the cars for sale of the next two brands combined.
There are lots of brands that don't have a significant percentage of listings, so we will limit our analysis to brands representing more than 5% of total listings.

Of the top 5 brands, there is a distinct price gap:
For the top 6 brands, let's use aggregation to understand the average mileage
for those cars and if there's any visible link with mean price.
While our natural instinct may be to display both aggregated series objects and visually compare them, this has a few limitations:
Instead, we can combine the data from both series objects into a single dataframe (with a shared index) and display the dataframe directly.
# the series constructor method uses brand_mean_prices dictionary
bmp_series = pd.Series(brand_mean_prices)
# The keys in the dictionary became the index in the series object
print(bmp_series)
# We can now create a single-column dataframe from this series object
# We need to use the columns parameter when calling the dataframe constructor (which accepts a array-like object) to specify the column name (or the column name will be set to 0 by default)

The range of car mileages does not vary as much as the prices do by brand, instead all falling within 10% for the top brands. There is a slight trend to the more expensive vehicles having higher mileage, with the less expensive vehicles having lower mileage.
