Research direction
Start with _episodes/09-extracting-data.md and compare its selecting-data material with the linked pandas boolean-indexing documentation. Review later filtering and selecting examples in the lesson, then define the documentation scope for introducing boolean arrays and briefly explaining pandas.Index objects. Done means the foundational concepts are covered before their later uses.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
This is about the episode on selecting data
- Using boolean arrays for indexing is a foundational concept. It is also used many times later in the material (e.g. filtering/selecting using conditions). However it isn't really introduced properly in the preceding material.
- In this context, it might also be worthwhile to talk a little bit about
pandas.Indexobjects.
