AIPT Project : Exploring Data Visualization with Matplotlib

A report by Tulika Arun (02302102024) and Shalini Bhandari (01802102024)

Introduction
This project demonstrates the power of data visualization using Matplotlib, a robust
Python library. The project integrates object-oriented programming (OOP) principles
and file handling techniques to create meaningful visual representations. The
implementation involves preprocessing data, generating various plot types, and
analyzing trends. Additionally, it includes tools like Seaborn for enhanced visualization.

Objective
The primary goal is to showcase Matplotlib’s versatility in visualizing data and providing
actionable insights. This involves building a program to processes, normalizes and
creates plots like histograms, bar charts, scatter plots, and heatmaps to uncover
patterns and correlations in any dataset.

Datasets used as examples:


1. customer_demographics_purchase.csv
This dataset focuses on customer purchasing behavior across various
demographic groups. The data can be utilized for marketing analysis,
segmentation, and understanding customer trends.

 Columns:

o gender: Gender of the customer (e.g., male, female).


o age group: Age range of the customer (e.g., 18-25, 26-35).
o income level: Income classification (e.g., Low, Medium, High).
o marital status: Marital status of the customer (e.g., Single, Married,
Widowed).
o education level: Highest educational qualification (e.g., High School,
Bachelor's).
o product category: Type of product purchased (e.g., Electronics, Home
Goods).
o purchase amount: Total amount spent by the customer (numeric).
2. employee_job_satisfaction.csv

This dataset explores the relationship between demographic characteristics and job
satisfaction. It provides insights into employee satisfaction across job roles and
experience levels.

 Columns:

o gender: Gender of the employee.


o age group: Age range of the employee (e.g., 20-30, 30-40).
o education level: Educational attainment (e.g., High School, Bachelor's,
Master's, PhD).
o job role: Current role of the employee (e.g., Manager, Technician).
o work experience: Number of years of experience (numeric).
o salary: Annual salary of the employee in dollars.
o job satisfaction: Satisfaction level on a scale of 1-5 (numeric)

3. student_performance.csv

This dataset evaluates student academic performance, incorporating demographic and


parental background data. It is useful for understanding factors influencing academic
outcomes.

 Columns:

o gender: Gender of the student (e.g., male, female).


o race/ethnicity: Group classification of the student (e.g., group A, group
B).
o parental level of education: Highest educational attainment of the
student's parent.
o lunch: Type of lunch received (e.g., standard, free/reduced).
o test preparation course: Whether the student completed a test
preparation course (e.g., none, completed).
o math score: Score in math (numeric).
o reading score: Score in reading (numeric).
o writing score: Score in writing (numeric).
o target: Aggregate score derived from academic performance (numeric).
4. exams.csv

This dataset also pertains to student academic performance, with a focus on math,
reading, and writing scores. It complements the student_performance.csv dataset but
with slightly different data distribution and entries.

 Columns:

o gender: Gender of the student.


o race/ethnicity: Group classification of the student.
o parental level of education: Highest educational attainment of the
student's parent.
o lunch: Type of lunch received.
o test preparation course: Completion status of test preparation.
o math score: Score in math (numeric).
o reading score: Score in reading (numeric).
o writing score: Score in writing (numeric).

Workflow
The project workflow is implemented through two core classes: `DataProcessor` and
`Visualizer`. Each step of the workflow contributes to handling data and generating
visualizations.

DataProcessor Class
The `DataProcessor` class is responsible for data ingestion and preprocessing. It includes
methods to load, describe, and normalize the dataset:

- `load_data()`: Loads the dataset, identifies numeric and categorical columns, and
returns a DataFrame.
- `describe_data(output_file)`: Generates a textual summary of the dataset, including
metadata and statistical descriptions, and saves it to a file.
- `normalize_data()`: Normalizes numeric columns to scale data between 0 and 1,
improving consistency for analysis.

Visualizer Class
The `Visualizer` class generates visualizations to explore the dataset's attributes. Key
methods include:

- `plot_distributions()`: Creates histograms for numeric columns and bar charts for
categorical columns.
- `correlation_heatmap()`: Plots a heatmap to visualize correlations among numeric
columns using Seaborn.

- `scatter_plots()`: Generates scatter plots for all combinations of numeric column pairs

- `pie_chart(column)`: Creates a pie chart showing the distribution of categories in a


specified column.

Implementation Details
The implementation involves reading a dataset (e.g., `employee_job_satisfaction.csv`),
performing preprocessing with the `DataProcessor`, and generating visualizations with
the `Visualizer`. The visualizations include:

- Histograms to understand the distribution of numerical data.


- Bar charts to represent categorical data.

- Scatter plots to identify relationships between numeric variables.


- Heatmaps for correlation analysis.
- Pie charts for categorical distributions.

Workflow Insights
This systematic approach ensures that the data is clean and ready for analysis before
creating visualizations. The inclusion of normalization improves the reliability of
statistical analysis, while diverse plot types ensure comprehensive insights. These
visualizations help identify key trends and outliers, supporting data-driven decisions.

Conclusion
This project effectively demonstrates the integration of data processing and
visualization techniques using Matplotlib. The modular structure of the implementation,
coupled with its ability to handle diverse datasets, highlights its practicality for both
research and industrial applications. The use of Seaborn enhances the visuals, making
the plots more interpretable and impactful.
