How convert digits dataset of scikit-learn to pandas DataFrame?

Question

I have seen a lot of people convert the classic "iris" dataset of scikit-learn to pandas DataFrame since exploratory data analysis is easier with pandas. But I would like to know if there was any way of converting the "digits" dataset in a similar manner. Using the scikit learn dataset as it is, is a little bit harder for me. Can someone please help me with this issue?

Answer 1

Try:

from sklearn.datasets import load_digits

digits = load_digits()
df = pd.DataFrame(np.column_stack([digits['data'], digits['target']]), columns=digits['feature_names'] + ['target'])

Answer 2

We can load this dataset like the below. (We can read this information at the end of this dataset) this dataset has Number of Instances: 1797 and for each num has Number of Attributes: 64 Or Attribute Information: 8x8 image of integer pixels in the range 0..16

from sklearn.datasets import load_digits
digits = load_digits()
digits

{'data': array([[ 0.,  0.,  5., ...,  0.,  0.,  0.],
        [ 0.,  0.,  0., ..., 10.,  0.,  0.],
        [ 0.,  0.,  0., ..., 16.,  9.,  0.],
        ...,
        [ 0.,  0.,  1., ...,  6.,  0.,  0.],
        [ 0.,  0.,  2., ..., 12.,  0.,  0.],
        [ 0.,  0., 10., ..., 12.,  1.,  0.]]),
 'target': array([0, 1, 2, ..., 8, 9, 8]),
...
'images': array([[[ 0.,  0.,  5., ...,  1.,  0.,  0.],
         [ 0.,  0., 13., ..., 15.,  5.,  0.],
         [ 0.,  3., 15., ..., 11.,  8.,  0.],
         ...,
         [ 0.,  4., 11., ..., 12.,  7.,  0.],
         [ 0.,  2., 14., ..., 12.,  0.,  0.],
         [ 0.,  0.,  6., ...,  0.,  0.,  0.]],
 ...
}

We can create pandas.dataframe for 64 feature of each image and label like below:

import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame(digits['data'])
df['label'] = digits['target']
print(df)

[1797 rows x 65 columns]

We can show multiple images for specific num like the below:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
num_for_show = 6
for row in df[df['label'].eq(num_for_show)].values:
    plt.imshow(row[:64].reshape(8,8))
    plt.show()

We can show one image from digits['images'] like the below: (Shape of this data is 8x8 and we don't need to reshape(8,8) .)

plt.imshow(digits['images'][10])
