Assignment 10
Data Visualization III Download the Iris flower dataset or any other dataset into a DataFrame. (eg https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/Iris
(https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/Iris) ). Scan the dataset and give the inference as:

1. How many features are there and what are their types (e.g., numeric, nominal)?
2. Create a histogram for each feature in the dataset to illustrate the feature distributions.
3. Create a boxplot for each feature in the dataset. Compare distributions and identify outliers.

In [4]: import numpy as np

import pandas as pd

In [5]: csv_url = 'https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/machine-learning-databases/iris/iris.data'

df = pd.read_csv(csv_url, header = None)

col_names = ['Sepal_Length','Sepal_Width','Petal_Length','Petal_Width','Species']

df = pd.read_csv(csv_url, names = col_names)

In [6]: df.head()

Out[6]:
Sepal_Length Sepal_Width Petal_Length Petal_Width Species

0 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.2 Iris-setosa

1 4.9 3.0 1.4 0.2 Iris-setosa

2 4.7 3.2 1.3 0.2 Iris-setosa

3 4.6 3.1 1.5 0.2 Iris-setosa

4 5.0 3.6 1.4 0.2 Iris-setosa

Q1. How many features are there and what are their types?

In [7]: # to determine the length of lists in a pandas dataframe column

column = len(list(df))

In [8]: df.info()

<class 'pandas.core.frame.DataFrame'>

RangeIndex: 150 entries, 0 to 149

Data columns (total 5 columns):

Sepal_Length 150 non-null float64

Sepal_Width 150 non-null float64

Petal_Length 150 non-null float64

Petal_Width 150 non-null float64

Species 150 non-null object

dtypes: float64(4), object(1)

memory usage: 5.3+ KB

Hence the dataset contains 4 numerical columns and 1 object column

In [9]: np.unique(df['Species'])

Out[9]: array(['Iris-setosa', 'Iris-versicolor', 'Iris-virginica'], dtype=object)

Q2. Data Visualization-Create a histogram for each feature in the dataset to illustrate the feature distributions. Plot each histogram.

The Seaborn library is built on top of Matplotlib and offers many advanced data visualization capabilities.

Though, the Seaborn library can be used to draw a variety of charts such as matrix plots, grid plots, regression plots etc.,

In [ ]: import seaborn as sns

import matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

%matplotlib inline

In [12]: fig, axes = plt.subplots(2, 2, figsize=(16, 8))

axes[0,0].set_title("Distribution of First Column")

axes[0,0].hist(df["Sepal_Length"]);

axes[0,1].set_title("Distribution of Second Column")

axes[0,1].hist(df["Sepal_Width"]);

axes[1,0].set_title("Distribution of Third Column")

axes[1,0].hist(df["Petal_Length"]);

axes[1,1].set_title("Distribution of Fourth Column")

axes[1,1].hist(df["Petal_Width"]);

Q4. Create a boxplot for each feature in the dataset. All of the boxplots should be combined into a single plot. Compare distributions and identify outliers.

seaborn.set_style(style=None, rc=None)
Parameters
style: dict, or one of {darkgrid, whitegrid, dark, white, ticks}
A dictionary of parameters or the name of a preconfigured style.

rc: dict, optional

In [13]: data_to_plot = [df["Sepal_Length"],df["Sepal_Width"],df["Petal_Length"],df["Petal_Width"]]

sns.set_style("whitegrid")

# Creating a figure instance

fig = plt.figure(1, figsize=(12,8))

# Creating an axes instance

ax = fig.add_subplot(111)

# Creating the boxplot
