2. Exploratory Data Analysis and Visualization

Overview

This chapter takes us through how to perform exploration and analysis on a new dataset. By the end of this chapter, you will be able to explain the importance of data exploration and communicate the summary statistics of a dataset. You will visualize patterns in missing values in data and be able to replace null values appropriately. You will be equipped to identify continuous features, categorical features and visualize distributions of values across individual variables. You will also be able to describe and analyze relationships between different types of variables using correlation and visualizations.
