Study Notes
Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)
- EDA is a crucial process for understanding data, uncovering hidden patterns, and preparing it for further analysis.
- It involves examining data quality, identifying patterns, relationships, and trends, discerning important variables, and testing underlying assumptions.
EDA Methods
- EDA methods can be categorized as univariate or multivariate, and graphical or non-graphical.
- Univariate methods analyze a single variable at a time, while multivariate methods explore relationships between two or more variables.
- Graphical methods use visualizations to represent data, while non-graphical methods rely on statistical calculations.
Univariate EDA
-
Graphical:
- Histograms and Boxplots are used for quantitative variables, visualizing distributions, central tendencies, spread, and outliers.
- Bar and pie charts are used for categorical variables, representing frequencies and proportions.
-
Non-Graphical:
- Focuses on quantifying attributes of a single variable's distribution using calculations.
- For quantitative variables, this includes measures of spread (standard deviation, variance), central tendency (mean, median, mode), skewness (asymmetry of distribution), and kurtosis (tailedness of distribution).
- For categorical variables, involves tabulating frequencies for each category.
Multivariate EDA
-
Graphical:
- Scatterplots and line charts visualize relationships between quantitative variables.
- Side-by-side boxplots compare distributions of a quantitative variable across categories.
- Stacked bar charts represent proportions or frequencies within different categories.
-
Non-Graphical:
- Explores relationships using cross-tabulations for categorical variables.
- Uses statistical measures like covariance and correlation to determine the degree of association between variables.
Choosing EDA Methods
- Data scientists utilize various methods to gain comprehensive insights into their data.
- Non-graphical methods provide quantitative insights, but graphical methods offer a more qualitative and subjective understanding.
- Univariate methods focus on individual variables, while multivariate methods explore relationships between them.
