Interquartile Range (IQR):

IQR is the range between the first quartile (Q1) and the third quartile (Q3) in a dataset.

\[ IQR = Q3 - Q1 \]

Example:
\[ Data = [5, 8, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 22, 25] \]

13. Perform the above example practically and paste the code:

Sure, I'll provide you with the Python code for these calculations. Let's use Python and the NumPy library:

python
import numpy as np

# Data sets
data_set_1 = np.array([20, 24, 25, 36, 25, 22, 23])
data_set_2 = np.array([5, 9, 25, 12, 4, 30, 5, 20, 12, 5])

# Mean
mean_1 = np.mean(data_set_1)
mean_2 = np.mean(data_set_2)

# Mode
mode_1 = np.argmax

(np.bincount(data_set_1))
mode_2 = np.argmax(np.bincount(data_set_2))
# Median

14. What is proximity measure? Explain with an example:

Proximity Measure:
Proximity measures quantify the similarity or dissimilarity between two objects or data points. They are commonly used in
clustering and classification algorithms.

Example: Euclidean Distance

\[ d(x, y) = \sqrt{\sum_{i=1}^{n}(x_i - y_i)^2} \]

Where \(x\) and \(y\) are data points, and \(n\) is the number of dimensions. Smaller distances indicate greater similarity.

4. Data Reduction:
- Reduce dimensionality through techniques like PCA.

5. Data Discretization:
- Convert continuous data into discrete intervals.

16. Write a note on Data Transformation:

Data Transformation:
Data transformation involves converting raw data into a suitable format for analysis. Common transformations include:

- Normalization: Scaling data to a standard range.

- Standardization: Shifting data to have a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1.
- Log Transformation: Applying the logarithm to handle skewed data.
- Encoding Categorical Variables: Converting categorical data into numerical form.

17. Write steps of Data Wrangling:

An outlier is an observation that lies an abnormal distance from other values in a random sample.

Causes of Outliers:
1. Measurement Errors: Errors in data collection or recording.
2. Natural Variation: Genuine extreme values in the data.
3. Experimental Error: Variability due to experimental conditions.
4. Data Entry Mistakes: Human errors during data entry.
5. Intentional Outliers: Data points deliberately introduced to test robustness.

19. Explain EDA in detail:

representations. Key steps in EDA include:

1. Summary Statistics: Compute mean, median, mode, etc.

2. Univariate Analysis: Study of individual variables.
3. Bivariate Analysis: Explore relationships between pairs of variables.
4. Multivariate Analysis: Simultaneous analysis of three or more variables.
5. Data Visualization: Create charts and graphs to represent data patterns.

20. Write a note on visual encoding:

Visual Encoding:
Visual encoding is the process of converting data into visual elements, such as color, size, shape, or position, to effectively
communicate information. It is crucial in data visualization to convey meaning accurately and efficiently. For example, using
color to represent different categories or using the length of a bar to represent a numerical value.
Visual encoding is a cognitive process through which information is converted into visual representations that can be
stored and recalled by the brain. It involves the transformation of various stimuli, such as images, colors, shapes, and
patterns, into a format that the brain can interpret and remember. This process is crucial for perception, memory, and
overall cognitive functioning, as it enables individuals to make sense of the visual world around them.

There are several key aspects of visual encoding:

1.Selective Attention: Visual encoding begins with selective attention, where the brain focuses on specific visual stimuli
while filtering out irrelevant information. This selective attention helps in processing and encoding important details.

2.Structural Encoding: This involves encoding the physical structure or appearance of visual stimuli. It includes details such
as shapes, colors, sizes, and spatial arrangements. Structural encoding is fundamental for recognizing and remembering
objects and scenes.

3.Semantic Encoding: In addition to structural details, semantic encoding involves attaching meaning to visual stimuli. It
goes beyond the physical characteristics and involves linking the visual information with existing knowledge and concepts,
facilitating better understanding and retention.

4.Dual-Coding Theory: Proposed by Allan Paivio, the dual-coding theory suggests that information is more effectively
encoded when it is represented both visually and verbally. This theory emphasizes the importance of creating mental
images associated with words, enhancing memory recall.

5.Imagery and Mnemonics: Visual encoding is often enhanced through the use of imagery and mnemonics. Creating
mental images related to information helps in better retention. Mnemonics, such as acronyms or visual associations,
provide memory aids that support the encoding process.

21. Explain any 5 data visualization tools in detail with example ( Bubble Plot, Pie Chart, wordcloud, box plot,
histogram,
linechart, bar diagram, scatter plot, venn diagram, Area Plot, DonutChart)

1. Bubble Plot:
 - Description:
A Bubble Plot is a variation of a scatter plot where each data point is represented as a bubble. It adds a third dimension
to a 2D scatter plot by introducing the size of the bubble as a parameter, providing a visual representation of three
variables.

- Example:
Suppose you want to visualize the relationship between GDP, population, and happiness index for different countries.
The x-axis represents GDP, the y-axis represents population, and the size of the bubble represents the happiness index.

- Code (using Python and Matplotlib):

python
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

countries = ['Country A', 'Country B', 'Country C']

gdp = [1000, 2000, 1500]
population = [50, 30, 40]
happiness_index = [7, 8, 6]

plt.scatter(gdp, population, s=[i*100 for i in happiness_index], alpha=0.5)

plt.xlabel('GDP (in billions)')
plt.ylabel('Population (in millions)')
plt.title('Bubble Plot: GDP, Population, and Happiness Index')
plt.show()

2. Pie Chart:
- Description:
A Pie Chart is a circular statistical graphic that is divided into slices to illustrate numerical proportions. Each slice
represents a proportionate part of the whole.

- Example:
Consider a survey on favorite genres of movies, where the pie chart represents the percentage distribution of
preferences for Action, Drama, Comedy, and Sci-Fi.

- Code (using Python and Matplotlib):

python
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

genres = ['Action', 'Drama', 'Comedy', 'Sci-Fi']

percentages = [30, 25, 20, 25]

plt.pie(percentages, labels=genres, autopct='%1.1f%%', startangle=90)

plt.title('Pie Chart: Movie Genre Preferences')
plt.show()

3. Wordcloud:
- Description:
A Wordcloud visually represents the frequency of words in a given text, with more frequently occurring words displayed
in larger fonts.

- Example:
Analyzing customer reviews where the wordcloud visually emphasizes the most common words used in the feedback.
 - Code (using Python and WordCloud library):
python
from wordcloud import WordCloud
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

text = "This is a sample text for generating a wordcloud. Wordclouds are a popular way to visualize word frequency."

wordcloud = WordCloud(width=800, height=400, background_color='white').generate(text)

plt.figure(figsize=(10, 5))
plt.imshow(wordcloud, interpolation='bilinear')
plt.axis('off')
plt.title('Wordcloud: Text Analysis')
plt.show()

4. Box Plot:
- Description:
A Box Plot (Box-and-Whisker Plot) provides a visual summary of the distribution of a dataset, showing the minimum,
first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum values.

- Example:
Visualizing the distribution of exam scores for different classes.

- Code (using Python and Seaborn):

python
import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

data = sns.load_dataset('tips') # Example dataset

plt.figure(figsize=(8, 6))
sns.boxplot(x='day', y='total_bill', data=data)
plt.title('Box Plot: Distribution of Total Bill Amount by Day')
plt.show()

5. Histogram:
- Description:
A Histogram represents the distribution of a continuous dataset. It divides the data into bins and displays the frequency
of observations within each bin.

- Example:
Analyzing the distribution of ages in a population.

- Code (using Python and Matplotlib):

python
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

np.random.seed(42)
ages = np.random.normal(30, 10, 1000) # Example data
 plt.hist(ages, bins=30, edgecolor='black')
plt.xlabel('Age')
plt.ylabel('Frequency')
plt.title('Histogram: Distribution of Ages')
plt.show()

These visualizations are powerful tools for gaining insights from data, making complex information more understandable
and interpretable. They each serve different purposes, depending on the nature of the data and the insights you want to
extract.
