Useful Python Libraries

NumPy pandas matplotlib seaborn bokeh

11
NumPy

§ Fundamental package for scientific computing


§ Exceptionally fast – written in C
§ Main data structure:
• ndarray : n-dimensional arrays of homogeneous data types
§ Data manipulation ≈ NumPy array manipulation
§ Used in other libraries - Matplotlib, pandas, scikit- learn

Link: NumPy for MATLAB USERS

12
Pandas

§ Fundamental tool for handling and analyzing input data


§ Particularly suited for tabular data
§ Implements powerful data operations
§ Main data structures:
• DataFrame: A table with rows and columns
• Series: A single column

13
Matplotlib

§ Used for basic plotting


§ Highly customizable
§ Works with NumPy and pandas

14
Seaborn

§ Used for statistical data visualization


§ Uses fewer syntax with good default themes
§ Integrated to work great with pandas data-frame
§ Uses Matplotlib under the hood

15
Bokeh

§ Used for interactive visualization


§ Requires modern web browsers
§ Integrates with JavaScript

16
Types of Plots

§ Line plots
§ Bar plots
§ Scatter plots
§ Box plots
§ Histograms

17
Line plots

§ Used for numeric data


§ Used to show trends
§ Compare two or more
different variables over time
§ Could be used to make
predictions

18
Bar plots

§ Used for nominal or ordinal


categories
§ Compare data amongst
different categories
§ Ideal for more than 3
categories
§ Can show large data
changes over time

19
Scatter plots

§ Used to visualize relation


between two numeric
variables
§ Used to visualize correlation
in a large data set
§ Predict behavior of
dependent variable based
on the measure of the
independent variable.

20
Box plots

§ aka whisker plot


§ Statistical graph used on
sets of numerical data
§ Shows the range, spread
and center
§ Used to compare data from
different categories

21
Histograms

§ Used for continuous data


§ Displays the frequency
distribution (shape)
§ Summarize large data
sets graphically
§ Compare multiple
distributions
