    Study Notes

    Data Exploration and Visualization

    • This module covers visual aids for Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA).
    • Essential tools and libraries include Matplotlib, Seaborn, Pandas, Bokeh, and Plotly.

    Technical Requirements

    • Scalability: Visual aids should handle large datasets without performance degradation.
    • Interactivity: Users should be able to interact (zoom, pan, select data points).
    • Customization: Users should customize visual aids (colors, labels, legends).
    • Integration: Easy integrability with other data analysis tools and platforms.
    • Real-time Updates: Support real-time updates, especially for dynamic data.
    • Export Options: Export to various formats (PNG, PDF, SVG).
    • User-friendly Interface: Intuitive and easy-to-use interface for efficient data exploration and visualization.
    • Performance: Optimized for performance, ensuring smooth rendering and interaction with complex visualizations.
    • Compatibility: Compatible with different operating systems and devices.
    • Documentation and Support: Comprehensive documentation and support for effective use.

    Visual Aids

    • Line Chart: Represents the relationship between two variables (X and Y) over a continuous interval (often time).
    • Bar Chart: Compares different categories or groups. The length/height of each bar represents the value. Useful to compare different categories.
    • Scatter Plot: Represents a relationship between two variables (X and Y) where each point represents an observation. Useful to see correlations between variables.
    • Area Plot: A type of line chart where the area between the line and the axis is filled with color/shading. Emphasizes the magnitude/volume of a single variable over time.
    • Stacked Plot: Represents multiple data series stacked on top of each other. Highlights the individual contributions to a whole, and the total value.
    • Pie Chart: Represents proportions/percentages using slices of a circle. Shows how each group/category contributes to a whole.
    • Lollipop Chart: Uses lines/sticks and circles to represent individual data. Clear visualization for comparing several values/categories.
    • Polar Chart: A circular graph showing relationships between variables. Data points are plotted by angles and radii.
    • Radar Chart: Similar to a polar plot but used to show multiple categories/factors.

    Matplotlib (Python)

    • Libraries: Matplotlib and NumPy.
    • Functions: Plotting functions (e.g., plt.plot, plt.bar, plt.scatter, plt.fill_between, plt.pie).
    • Data Preparation: Cleaning data, dealing with missing values (imputing or removing), removing duplicates, standardizing formats, and correctly any inconsistencies.

    EDA Techniques

    • Data Cleaning and Preparation: Techniques for Data import & preparation, handling missing values, removing duplicates, and correcting any inconsistencies. Essential for visual analysis and effective EDA.
    • Descriptive Statistics: These summary statistics (mean, median, standard deviation) will give you an overview of the data's distribution.
