different country codes in the dataset. It sets up a figure with dimensions of 8 by 5 inches using
plt.figure(figsize=(8,5)). The sns.countplot function then plots the count of occurrences
for each unique value in the "Country Code" column of the DataFrame df, with bars colored using the
"cividis" palette. The plot is titled "Distribution of Restaurants by Country Code," with the x-axis
labeled "Country Code" representing the unique codes and the y-axis labeled "Number of
Restaurants" indicating the count of restaurants associated with each country code. The plot provides
a quick overview of how restaurants are distributed across different countries or regions based on the
provided country codes in the dataset.
-A horizontal bar plot using Seaborn's countplot function to explore the distribution of restaurants
across cities in the dataset. It sets up a figure with dimensions of 15 by 6 inches using
plt.figure(figsize=(15,6)). The sns.countplot function then plots the count of
occurrences for each unique city in the "City" column of the DataFrame df, ordered by the top 20
cities with the highest restaurant counts
(order=df["City"].value_counts().head(20).index). Bars are colored using the "Set2"
palette. The plot is titled "Distribution of Restaurants by City," with the x-axis labeled "City"
representing the city names and the y-axis labeled "Number of Restaurants" indicating the count of
restaurants in each city. The x-axis labels are rotated by 45 degrees for better readability. This
visualization provides insights into which cities have the highest concentration of restaurants based on
the dataset.
-A bar plot displaying the top 20 cuisines with the highest number of restaurants from the dataset. It
first sets up a figure of size 15 by 6 inches and calculates the frequency of each cuisine using the
value_counts method on the "Cuisines" column. The top 20 most frequent cuisines are then plotted
as a bar chart using Matplotlib, with the bars colored according to the "Set2" Seaborn palette. The plot
is titled "Top 20 cuisines with the highest number of restaurants," and the x-axis (labeled "Cuisines")
and y-axis (labeled "Number of Restaurants") are also labeled. The x-axis labels are rotated by 45
degrees for better readability. Finally, the plot is displayed using plt.show().

 Determine the most prevalent cuisines and cities based on the highest counts of
restaurants within the dataset. This analysis focuses on identifying which types of
cuisine and which cities host the largest numbers of dining establishments, offering
insights into popular culinary preferences and urban dining scenes represented in the
data.
-Top 10 city and cuisines.

Geospatial Analysis:
  Create a geographical representation of restaurant locations using latitude and
longitude coordinates on a map. This visualization aims to spatially depict where
restaurants are situated, providing a visual understanding of their distribution across
different areas, which is essential for geographic analysis and understanding spatial
patterns in the dataset.

-GeoPandas to plot restaurant locations on a world map. First, it imports necessary libraries and
creates a GeoDataFrame gdf by converting the latitude and longitude columns of the DataFrame df
into point geometries. Then, it loads a low-resolution base map of the world from GeoPandas' built-in
datasets. Finally, it plots the world map with continents colored and a legend, overlaying the
restaurant locations as red circles with a specified marker size, and displays the plot with a large
figure size of 18 by 15 inches for better visibility.

 Examine how restaurants are distributed across various cities or countries and
investigate if there's a correlation between their geographic location and their ratings.
This analysis aims to understand if certain locations tend to have higher or lower-
rated restaurants, exploring potential spatial patterns influencing customer ratings
within the dataset.

-A horizontal bar plot showing the distribution of restaurants across the top 10 cities in the dataset. It
first sets up a figure with a size of 8 by 5 inches. Using Seaborn's countplot function, it creates a
bar plot with the cities on the y-axis and the number of restaurants on the x-axis, ordered by the 10
cities with the highest restaurant counts. The bars are colored using the "Set2" palette. The plot is
titled "Distribution of Restaurants Across Cities," with appropriate labels for the x-axis ("Number of
restaurants") and y-axis ("Name of Cities"). Finally, the plot is displayed using plt.show().

-A heatmap to visualize the correlation between the latitude, longitude, and aggregate ratings of
restaurants. It first sets up a figure with a size of 8 by 6 inches. Then, it calculates the correlation
matrix for the "Latitude," "Longitude," and "Aggregate rating" columns from the DataFrame df.
Using Seaborn's heatmap function, it creates the heatmap with the correlation values annotated on
the plot, using the "coolwarm" color palette and formatting the correlation coefficients to two decimal
places. The plot is titled "Correlation Between Restaurants' Location and Rating" and is displayed
using plt.show().

Table Booking and Online Delivery:

 Calculate the proportion of restaurants within the dataset that provide options for table
booking and online delivery services. This assessment involves quantifying the
 percentage of dining establishments that offer these conveniences, providing insights
into the availability of such amenities in the restaurant industry represented by the
data.
 Contrast the average ratings between restaurants that offer table booking and those
that do not. This comparison aims to understand if there is a significant difference in
customer ratings based on the availability of this service, providing insights into its
potential impact on customer satisfaction and restaurant performance within the
dataset.
 Examine the presence of online delivery services across restaurants categorized by
different price ranges. This analysis aims to understand how the availability of online
delivery varies among restaurants offering distinct pricing tiers, providing insights
into consumer preferences and business strategies related to food delivery options in
various market segments.

-Calculates and visualizes the percentage of restaurants offering online delivery within different price
ranges. It first groups the DataFrame df by the "Price range" column and calculates the normalized
value counts of the "Has Online delivery" column, converting these counts to percentages. The
resulting data is then unstacked to create a DataFrame suitable for plotting. The code uses this
DataFrame to create a stacked bar chart with the plot method, using the "plasma" colormap and
setting the figure size to 10 by 6 inches. The plot is titled "Online Delivery Availability by Price
Range," with the x-axis labeled "Price Range" and the y-axis labeled "% of Restaurants with Online
Delivery." The x-axis tick labels are set to a rotation of 0 degrees for readability, and a legend is
added to indicate the online delivery status, positioned outside the plot. Finally, the plot is displayed
using plt.show().
-Focuses on restaurants that offer online delivery and visualizes their distribution across different
price ranges. It first filters the DataFrame df to include only restaurants where online delivery is
available, creating a subset called OnlineDelivery_Yes. Then, it calculates the count of these
restaurants grouped by their respective price ranges using groupby(['Price range']).size().
The resulting counts are plotted as a bar chart using Matplotlib's plot function with kind='bar',
using the "plasma" colormap and setting the figure size to 10 by 6 inches. The plot is titled "Online
Delivery Availability by Price Range," with the x-axis labeled "Price Range" indicating different
categories of pricing and the y-axis labeled "Number of Restaurants" indicating the count of
restaurants. The x-axis tick labels are set to a rotation of 0 degrees for clarity, ensuring easy
interpretation of the price ranges. Finally, the plot is displayed using plt.show(). This visualization
helps understand the distribution of online delivery services among restaurants based on their pricing
categories.

Price Range Analysis:

 Identify the prevailing price range across all restaurants in the dataset. This involves
determining the most frequently occurring category among the various price ranges
assigned to dining establishments, providing an overview of the typical pricing
structure observed within the dataset's restaurant listings.
  Compute the mean rating for each price category assigned to restaurants. Determine
which color corresponds to the highest average rating among these price ranges. This
analysis helps identify the relationship between pricing and customer satisfaction,
highlighting which price range typically achieves the highest ratings within the
dataset.

-Identifies the price range with the highest average rating among restaurants and visualizes this data
using a bar plot. AvgRating_by_PriceRange likely represents a Pandas Series or DataFrame that holds
the average ratings grouped by different price ranges. The idxmax() method is used to find the index
(price range) with the highest average rating. The plot initially uses plt.bar to plot all price ranges
against their respective average ratings in red bars (plt.bar(AvgRating_by_PriceRange.index,
AvgRating_by_PriceRange, color='red', width=0.5)). Then, it overlays a green bar
(plt.bar(Highest_AvgRating, AvgRating_by_PriceRange[Highest_AvgRating], color='green',
width=0.5)) specifically for the price range with the highest average rating. The x-axis represents
different price ranges, and the y-axis represents average ratings. Labels and a title are added using
plt.xlabel, plt.ylabel, and plt.title functions respectively. This visualization effectively highlights
which price range tends to have the highest average ratings among the restaurants in the dataset.
Feature Engineering:

 Derive new attributes from existing columns, such as calculating the character length
of restaurant names or addresses. This process involves extracting additional
information beyond what is directly provided, enabling deeper insights into dataset
characteristics and potentially uncovering correlations or patterns related to naming
conventions or geographical specificity within restaurant data.

 Generate new binary features like "Has Table Booking" or "Has Online Delivery" by
transforming categorical variables into indicator variables. This involves assigning a
value of 1 if the restaurant offers the respective service and 0 if it does not, facilitating
easier analysis of these amenities' availability and their impact on restaurant
characteristics.
Predictive Modeling:

 Construct a regression model to forecast a restaurant's aggregate rating using available

features from the dataset. Divide the data into training and testing subsets to assess the
model's accuracy and reliability, employing suitable metrics to evaluate its predictive
performance and ensure its effectiveness in estimating restaurant ratings.

 Explore various algorithms such as linear regression, decision trees, and random
forest to predict restaurant aggregate ratings. Evaluate and contrast their effectiveness
in modeling the data, aiming to identify which method yields the most accurate
predictions, ensuring robustness and reliability in the restaurant rating forecasting
process.

Customer Preference Analysis:

 Investigate how the cuisine type influences restaurant ratings. This analysis examines
the correlation between different types of cuisines offered by restaurants and their
aggregate ratings, aiming to understand which culinary styles tend to receive higher or
lower ratings, thereby uncovering preferences and trends in customer satisfaction
related to cuisine diversity.

-A boxplot using Seaborn (sns.boxplot) to visualize the relationship between the top 10 cuisine
types and their ratings. It sets up a figure with dimensions of 12 by 6 inches using
plt.figure(figsize=(12, 6)). The boxplot is created with the x-axis representing different
cuisine types (x='Cuisine') and the y-axis representing the corresponding ratings ( y='Rating')
from the cuisine_ratings_top_10 dataset. Each box in the plot displays the interquartile range
(IQR) of ratings for a specific cuisine type, with whiskers extending to show the rest of the
distribution, and any outliers are shown as individual points beyond the whiskers. The plot is titled
"Relationship Between Top 10 Cuisine Types and Rating," with the x-axis labeled as "Cuisine Type,"
the y-axis labeled as "Rating," and the x-axis tick labels rotated by 45 degrees
(plt.xticks(rotation=45)) for better readability. This visualization helps to understand the
distribution of ratings across different cuisine types and identify any potential variations or trends in
restaurant ratings based on cuisine type.
  Determine the most favored cuisines among customers by assessing the number of
votes each cuisine receives. This analysis focuses on identifying which types of
cuisine attract the highest levels of customer engagement or preference, providing
insights into popular dining choices within the dataset based on customer feedback
and participation.

-A bar plot to visualize the top 10 most popular cuisines based on the number of votes they have
received. It sets up a figure with dimensions of 10 by 6 inches using plt.figure(figsize=(10, 6)). The
popular_cuisines likely represents a Pandas Series or DataFrame containing the number of votes for
each cuisine type, sorted in descending order. The head(10) method selects the top 10 cuisines based
on their vote counts. These cuisines are then plotted as bars using plot(kind='bar', color='skyblue'),
where each bar's height represents the number of votes for that cuisine. The plot is titled "Top 10
Most Popular Cuisines Based on Number of Votes," with the x-axis labeled as "Cuisine" indicating
the cuisine types and the y-axis labeled as "Number of Votes." The x-axis tick labels are rotated by 45
degrees (plt.xticks(rotation=45)) to prevent overlap and improve readability. This visualization
effectively highlights the popularity of different cuisines based on the voting data available in the
dataset.
  Investigate whether certain cuisines generally achieve higher ratings compared to
others. This analysis aims to discern if specific types of cuisine consistently garner
more favorable ratings from customers, providing insights into culinary preferences
and potentially identifying standout culinary offerings within the dataset based on
customer satisfaction metrics.

-A horizontal bar plot to visualize the top 10 cuisines with the highest average ratings. It sets up a
figure with dimensions of 12 by 6 inches using plt.figure(figsize=(12, 6)).
sorted_cuisines_by_rating likely represents a Pandas Series or DataFrame containing the
average ratings for each cuisine type, sorted in descending order. The head(10) method selects the
top 10 cuisines based on their average ratings. These cuisines are then plotted as horizontal bars using
plot(kind='barh', color='skyblue'), where each bar's length represents the average rating
for that cuisine. The plot is titled "Top 10 Cuisines with the Highest Average Ratings," with the x-axis
labeled as "Average Rating" indicating the ratings and the y-axis labeled as "Cuisine" indicating the
cuisine types. This visualization provides a clear comparison of the average ratings across different
cuisines, highlighting those cuisines that are rated most highly based on the available data.
Data Visualization:

 Generate graphical representations such as histograms and bar plots to illustrate how
ratings are distributed across the dataset. These visualizations aim to provide a clear
and visual understanding of the frequency and spread of restaurant ratings, enabling
insights into the distribution patterns and variability within the rating data.

-A histogram using Seaborn's histplot function to visualize the distribution of aggregate ratings
from the DataFrame df1. It sets up a figure with dimensions of 8 by 5 inches using
plt.figure(figsize=(8, 5)). The sns.histplot function plots the distribution of ratings
with 20 bins (bins=20), and optionally overlays a kernel density estimate ( kde=True) to show the
estimated probability density function of the ratings distribution. The histogram bars are colored in
'skyblue'. The plot is titled "Distribution of Ratings," with the x-axis labeled as "Rating" indicating the
aggregate ratings and the y-axis labeled as "Frequency" indicating the number of occurrences or
density of ratings at each bin. This visualization provides an overview of how ratings are distributed
across the dataset, highlighting any peaks, trends, or skewness in the ratings distribution.
-A bar plot using Seaborn's countplot function to visualize the count of aggregate ratings from the
DataFrame df1. It sets up a figure with dimensions of 12 by 6 inches using
plt.figure(figsize=(12, 6)). The sns.countplot function plots the number of occurrences
for each unique rating value ('Aggregate rating') in the dataset, with bars colored using the 'cividis'
palette. The plot is titled "Count of Ratings," with the x-axis labeled as "Rating" indicating the
different aggregate rating values and the y-axis labeled as "Count" indicating the frequency or number
of occurrences of each rating value. This visualization provides a straightforward representation of
how ratings are distributed across the dataset, highlighting the frequency of each rating value and
giving insights into the dataset's rating distribution pattern.
-A box plot using Seaborn's boxplot function to visualize the distribution of aggregate ratings from
the DataFrame df1. It sets up a figure with dimensions of 8 by 5 inches using
plt.figure(figsize=(8, 5)). The sns.boxplot function plots a box-and-whisker diagram
where the central box represents the interquartile range (IQR) of the ratings distribution. The
horizontal line inside the box denotes the median rating. The whiskers extend to show the range of the
data, with any outliers shown as individual points beyond the whiskers. The box plot is colored in
'skyblue'. The plot is titled "Distribution of Ratings," with the x-axis labeled as "Rating" indicating the
aggregate rating values and the y-axis labeled as "Count" representing the count or frequency of each
rating value. This visualization effectively summarizes the distribution of ratings, showcasing the
spread, central tendency, and presence of outliers in the dataset's ratings distribution.

 Utilize suitable visualizations to contrast the average ratings across various cuisines or
cities within the dataset. This analysis aims to visually depict and compare the
average customer ratings associated with different culinary styles or geographical
locations, providing insights into regional or culinary preferences and their impact on
restaurant ratings.

-A bar plot using Seaborn's barplot function to visualize the average ratings of different cities,
focusing on the top 10 cities with the highest average ratings. It sets up a figure with dimensions of 12
by 6 inches using plt.figure(figsize=(12, 6)). The sns.barplot function plots the average
rating values (y=average_rating_by_city.head(10).values) for each city
(x=average_rating_by_city.head(10).index), using the 'viridis' color palette for the bars.
Each bar represents the average rating of a city, and the cities are ordered based on their average
ratings. The plot is titled "Average Ratings of Different Cities (Top 10)," with the x-axis labeled as
"City" indicating the city names and the y-axis labeled as "Average Rating" indicating the average
rating values. The x-axis tick labels are rotated by 45 degrees ( plt.xticks(rotation=45)) for
better readability. This visualization provides a clear comparison of average ratings across the top-
rated cities, highlighting which cities have the highest average ratings based on the dataset.

 Create visual representations that illustrate how different features relate to the target
variable, aiming to derive meaningful insights from the data. These visualizations
help to understand the correlations, trends, and potential predictive relationships
between various attributes and the target variable, facilitating deeper exploration and
interpretation of the dataset.

-A pair plot using Seaborn's pairplot function to visualize pairwise relationships between selected
features and the aggregate rating (Aggregate rating) from the DataFrame df1. The features
list includes variables such as average cost for two, number of votes, price range, and binary
indicators for table booking and online delivery services that are assumed to have been encoded into
binary variables (Has Table booking_Yes, Has Online delivery_Yes). Each variable in
features is plotted against every other variable in a grid of scatter plots, and the diagonal shows
histograms of each feature's distribution. This allows for a quick examination of how each feature
correlates with the aggregate rating and how features correlate with each other. Such visualizations
can help identify potential patterns or relationships between features and the target variable (aggregate
rating) and detect any multicollinearity between predictor variables.
