Exploratory Data

Analysis with
NumPy and
Matplotlib
Exploratory data analysis (EDA) is a critical first step in any data
science project. EDA helps you understand the structure and
characteristics of your data, identify patterns and trends, and
uncover insights that can inform your subsequent analyses.

Introduction to Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)
1 Data Understanding 2 Data Cleaning
EDA helps you gain a comprehensive understanding of EDA allows you to identify and handle missing data,
your dataset, including its variables, data types, and outliers, and other anomalies that can affect your
distributions. analysis.

3 Data Visualization 4 Data Insights


EDA utilizes powerful visualizations to reveal patterns EDA helps you uncover meaningful insights, identify
and trends in your data, making it easier to draw potential relationships between variables, and develop
conclusions and make informed decisions. hypotheses for further investigation.
Importing and Inspecting Data with NumPy
NumPy: The Foundation Data Loading and Inspection Descriptive Statistics

NumPy is a fundamental Python NumPy allows you to load data NumPy provides functions to
library for numerical computing. It from various sources (e.g., CSV calculate summary statistics like

Visualizing Data Distributions with Matplotlib
Histograms
Histograms visualize the distribution of a single numerical variable, showing the frequency of values within different ranges.

Box Plots
Box plots provide a concise summary of a variable's distribution, displaying its median, quartiles, and outliers.

Density Plots
Density plots depict the probability density function of a variable, providing a smooth curve representation of its distribution.
Analyzing Relationships
with Scatter Plots
Scatter plots are powerful By adding a third categorical

Exploring Categorical Data with Bar Plots

Bar Charts Pie Charts


Bar charts are ideal for visualizing the distribution of Pie charts are another way to represent categorical
categorical variables. They show the frequency or count data. They depict the proportion of each category within
of each category. the whole.
Handling Missing Data and
Outliers
1 Missing Data
Missing data can occur for various reasons. It is important to
identify and handle missing values appropriately.

2 Outliers
Outliers are data points that deviate significantly from the
rest of the data. They can skew your analysis and impact
your results.

3 Data Imputation and Outlier Removal


You can handle missing data by imputing values using
different methods or removing outliers based on specific
criteria.
Communicating Insights
from EDA
The insights gained from EDA should be communicated effectively
to stakeholders. This involves summarizing key findings, creating
compelling visualizations, and providing actionable
recommendations.
