    Useful Python Libraries

    NumPy pandas matplotlib seaborn bokeh

    11
    NumPy

    § Fundamental package for scientific computing


    § Exceptionally fast – written in C
    § Main data structure:
    • ndarray : n-dimensional arrays of homogeneous data types
    § Data manipulation ≈ NumPy array manipulation
    § Used in other libraries - Matplotlib, pandas, scikit- learn

    Link: NumPy for MATLAB USERS

    12
    Pandas

    § Fundamental tool for handling and analyzing input data


    § Particularly suited for tabular data
    § Implements powerful data operations
    § Main data structures:
    • DataFrame: A table with rows and columns
    • Series: A single column

    13
    Matplotlib

    § Used for basic plotting


    § Highly customizable
    § Works with NumPy and pandas

    14
    Seaborn

    § Used for statistical data visualization


    § Uses fewer syntax with good default themes
    § Integrated to work great with pandas data-frame
    § Uses Matplotlib under the hood

    15
    Bokeh

    § Used for interactive visualization


    § Requires modern web browsers
    § Integrates with JavaScript

    16
    Types of Plots

    § Line plots
    § Bar plots
    § Scatter plots
    § Box plots
    § Histograms

    17
    Line plots

    § Used for numeric data


    § Used to show trends
    § Compare two or more
    different variables over time
    § Could be used to make
    predictions

    18
    Bar plots

    § Used for nominal or ordinal


    categories
    § Compare data amongst
    different categories
    § Ideal for more than 3
    categories
    § Can show large data
    changes over time

    19
    Scatter plots

    § Used to visualize relation


    between two numeric
    variables
    § Used to visualize correlation
    in a large data set
    § Predict behavior of
    dependent variable based
    on the measure of the
    independent variable.

    20
    Box plots

    § aka whisker plot


    § Statistical graph used on
    sets of numerical data
    § Shows the range, spread
    and center
    § Used to compare data from
    different categories

    21
    Histograms

    § Used for continuous data


    § Displays the frequency
    distribution (shape)
    § Summarize large data
    sets graphically
    § Compare multiple
    distributions
