Study Notes

Data Visualization with Matplotlib and Seaborn

  • Matplotlib is a foundational plotting library
  • Seaborn is built on Matplotlib for statistical visualizations
  • Data visualizations are used to better analyze data, provide quick action, identify patterns/errors, understand stories, and explore insights, enabling understandable presentation
  • A picture is worth a thousand words.
  • Data is the new oil, but visualization is the refinery.
  • Graphs and charts bridge numbers to decisions and enable understanding.
  • Numbers have intrinsic beauty; visualization gives them a soul.
  • Graphs speak louder than numbers.
  • Visualization is the art of making the invisible, visible.
  • Mastering visualization is mastering the language of data.
  • Every graph has a story; tools uncover it.
  • Charts are the storytellers of the data world.
  • Data visualization libraries used: Matplotlib, Seaborn
  • Introduction to Matplotlib
  • Build data visualizations with the Matplotlib library
  • Setting up Matplotlib
  • Basic plotting using Matplotlib
  • Customizing Plots
  • Advanced plotting techniques
  • Build data visualization with Seaborn

Visualization Types

  • Line plots show trends over time (e.g., annual growth in sales)
  • Bar charts compare categories (e.g., average faculty performance)
  • Histograms illustrate data distribution (e.g., exam scores)
  • Pie charts show proportions within a whole (e.g., attendance status)
  • Scatter plots show relationships between variables (e.g., activity scores vs. final exam scores)
  • Heatmaps (Seaborn) display correlations (e.g., faculty and course average scores)

Data Visualization Steps

  • Prepare Data: Install libraries (Matplotlib, Seaborn), clean and organize using Pandas
  • Set Up Environment: Align with desired insights
  • Choose Chart Type
  • Customize Chart: Add labels, titles, and adjust colors
  • Analyze and Interpret Insights

Matplotlib Features

  • Basic Commands:
    • plt.plot(): Create line plots
    • plt.bar(): Create bar charts
    • plt.hist(): Create histograms
    • plt.scatter(): Create scatter plots
  • Customization Options: Colors, linestyles, markers, titles, labels, legends
  • Save Plots: Save in various formats (PNG, JPG, PDF) using plt.savefig()

Seaborn Features

  • Simplified Statistical Plots: Built-in support for Pandas DataFrames and advanced plots (heatmaps, pair plots)
  • Built-in Themes: Set global themes for consistent styling
  • Key Commands: sns.barplot(), sns.boxplot(), sns.heatmap(), sns.pairplot()

Best Practices

  • Know Your Audience: Tailor visualizations to their technical knowledge
  • Keep It Simple: Avoid unnecessary elements
  • Focus on Insights: Highlight trends, patterns, or outliers
  • Maintain Consistency: Use consistent styles, colors, and labels
  • Validate Your Data: Ensure data accuracy before creating visualizations

Additional Information

  • Jupyter Notebook files are to be found
