Matplotlib Box Plot – Tutorial and Examples

Introduction There are many data visualization libraries in Python, yet Matplotlib is the most popular library out of all of them. Matplotlib’s popularity is due to its reliability and utility – it’s able to create both simple and complex plots with little code. You can also customize the plots in a variety of ways. In this tutorial, we’ll cover how to plot Box Plots in Matplotlib. Box plots are used to visualize summary statistics of a dataset, displaying attributes of […]

Introduction to Data Visualization in Python with Pandas

Introduction People can rarely look at a raw data and immediately deduce a data-oriented observation like: People in stores tend to buy diapers and beer in conjunction! Or even if you as a data scientist can indeed sight read raw data, your investor or boss most likely can’t. In order for us to properly analyze our data, we need to represent it in a tangible, comprehensive way. Which is exactly why we use data visualization! The pandas library offers a […]

How to Merge DataFrames in Pandas – merge(), join(), append(), concat() and update()

Introduction Pandas provides a huge range of methods and functions to manipulate data, including merging DataFrames. Merging DataFrames allows you to both create a new DataFrame without modifying the original data source or alter the original data source. If you are familiar with the SQL or a similar type of tabular data, you probably are familiar with the term join, which means combining DataFrames to form a new DataFrame. If you are a beginner it can be hard to fully […]

Ultimate Guide to Heatmaps in Seaborn with Python

Introduction A heatmap is a data visualization technique that uses color to show how a value of interest changes depending on the values of two other variables. For example, you could use a heatmap to understand how air pollution varies according to the time of day across a set of cities. Another, perhaps more rare case of using heatmaps is to observe human behavior – you can create visualizations of how people use social media, how their answers on surveys […]

Matplotlib Line Plot – Tutorial and Examples

Introduction Matplotlib is one of the most widely used data visualization libraries in Python. From simple to complex visualizations, it’s the go-to library for most. In this tutorial, we’ll take a look at how to plot a line plot in Matplotlib – one of the most basic types of plots. Line Plots display numerical values one one axis, and categorical values on the other. They can typically be used in much the same way Bar Plots can be used, though, […]

Seaborn Violin Plot – Tutorial and Examples

Introduction Seaborn is one of the most widely used data visualization libraries in Python, as an extension to Matplotlib. It offers a simple, intuitive, yet highly customizable API for data visualization. In this tutorial, we’ll take a look at how to plot a Violin Plot in Seaborn. Violin plots are used to visualize data distributions, displaying the range, median, and distribution of the data. Violin plots show the same summary statistics as box plots, but they also include Kernel Density […]

Calculating Pearson Correlation Coefficient in Python with Numpy

Introduction This article is an introduction to the Pearson Correlation Coefficient, its manual calculation and its computation via Python’s numpy module. The Pearson correlation coefficient measures the linear association between variables. Its value can be interpreted like so: +1 – Complete positive correlation +0.8 – Strong positive correlation +0.6 – Moderate positive correlation 0 – no correlation whatsoever -0.6 – Moderate negative correlation -0.8 – Strong negative correlation -1 – Complete negative correlation We’ll illustrate how the correlation coefficient varies […]

Seaborn Bar Plot – Tutorial and Examples

Introduction Seaborn is one of the most widely used data visualization libraries in Python, as an extension to Matplotlib. It offers a simple, intuitive, yet highly customizable API for data visualization. In this tutorial, we’ll take a look at how to plot a Bar Plot in Seaborn. Bar graphs display numerical quantities on one axis and categorical variables on the other, letting you see how many occurrences there are for the different categories. Bar charts can be used for visualizing […]
