To present and interpret data using visualization libraries in Python
UNIT I INTRODUCTION 9
Data Science: Benefits and uses – facets of data - Data Science Process: Overview – Defining research
goals – Retrieving data – Data preparation - Exploratory Data analysis – build the model– presenting
findings and building applications - Data Mining - Data Warehousing – Basic Statistical descriptions of
Data
UNIT II DESCRIBING DATA 9
Types of Data - Types of Variables -Describing Data with Tables and Graphs –Describing Data with
Averages - Describing Variability - Normal Distributions and Standard (z) Scores
UNIT III DESCRIBING RELATIONSHIPS 9
Correlation –Scatter plots –correlation coefficient for quantitative data –computational formula for
correlation coefficient – Regression –regression line –least squares regression line – Standard error of
estimate – interpretation of r2 –multiple regression equations –regression towards the mean
UNIT IV PYTHON LIBRARIES FOR DATA WRANGLING 9
Basics of Numpy arrays –aggregations –computations on arrays –comparisons, masks, boolean logic –
fancy indexing – structured arrays – Data manipulation with Pandas – data indexing and selection –
operating on data – missing data – Hierarchical indexing – combining datasets – aggregation and
grouping – pivot tables
UNIT V DATA VISUALIZATION 9
Importing Matplotlib – Line plots – Scatter plots – visualizing errors – density and contour plots –
Histograms – legends – colors – subplots – text and annotation – customization – three dimensional
plotting - Geographic Data with Basemap - Visualization with Seaborn.
