Pandas Python and a little probability

Ok, so after looking through different tutorials, I found out pandas is way easier to handle then SQL.

So for the first step in that machine learning experiment from the last post, I came up with this little piece of code.
It uses random/randomint and pandas as import.
Resources and references are in the code comments.
As always, drop me a comment, hate it, love it, what to improve.
Next step is to get this rolling with more math involved and a bigger sets of probability data to store.
Adding an 'old_odd_probability' and 'old_even_probability' would probably be the next step toward getting that bayes to interpret a bigger picture of when and how random chooses it's *random integers*.

For example, to use the water droplet example from Jurassic Park (assuming you repeat the experiment 5 times)...

https://scienceonblog.wordpress.com/2017/04/13/chaos-theory-in-jurassic-park/
 
 If the droplet tends to roll left off your hand the second time you try, and you do it the same way every second time,  chances are the way in which you dribble that drop of water on your hand during that second event are probably influenced by something that tends to tilt the results toward rolling left.

In the end I want some proof that on a run of random, it will create very similar choices over a long run.  If you've been following my chatbot experiment, it would choose very much the same lines of script every time I ran her.  Maybe it's only on small ranges it does this, that's another theory, but that's also another experiment.




Here's the code:
