Day 22 - Seaborn - Line Plot, Barplot

Line Plot

    The line plot is one of the most basic plots in the seaborn library. This plot is mainly used to visualize the data in the form of some time series, i.e. in a continuous manner.

 



Barplot

    A barplot is basically used to aggregate the categorical data according to some methods and by default, it’s the mean. It can also be understood as a visualization of the group by action. To use this plot we choose a categorical column for the x-axis and a numerical column for the y-axis, and we see that it creates a plot taking a mean per categorical column.














   
  I am doing a challenge - #66DaysofData  in which I will be learning something new from the Data Science field for 66 days, and I will be posting daily topics on my LinkedIn, On my GitHub repository, and on my blog as well.


Stay Curious!

Day 1 - Normal Distribution, Z-score, Standard Normal distribution - #66DaysofData Challenge

By  Jerin Lalichan  1. Normal Distribution (Gaussian Distribution)     How the data is distributed can tell us a lot about the data.  There are over 20 different types of data distributions commonly used in data science to develop a  model. The normal distribution is one of the most common data distributions seen in nature, for example,  the distribution of the heights of human beings . It is also called as Bell Curve. Image credits: Statistics by Jim Properties: Parameters of a bell curve are : Mean - which determines the maximum height of the curve Standard deviation - which determines how wide should be the curve  The mean, median, and mode are the same. The distribution is symmetrical, in other words, the data points are symmetrically distributed around the mean value. 2. Z score      It is a number that represents how far is, ie how many standard deviations away is a point located, measured from the mean value. So farther the ...

Day 12 - How to find the best K value in K-Means Algorithm - Elbow Curve

            By  Jerin Lalichan  How to do it? Clustering algorithms like K-Means need the user to input the number of clusters to be formed. For this, we need to find the optimum number of clusters to be generated. A commonly used method is using the Elbow Curve. Elbow Curve / Knee Curve      K means works in a way to reduce the Within-cluster sum of squares (WCSS) is minimized. In this method, we vary the value of K from 1 to 10.       For each value of K, the WCSS is calculated. WCSS is nothing but the sum of squares of the distance between each value and their corresponding cluster centroid.       We start with K=1, and the highest value for WCSS  is observed for K=1. When the K goes higher, WCSS decreases. And from the above graph, we can see that WCSS shows a rapid change at a certain point (here K=5), and the line gets parallel to the X axis. And this point is called the Elbow ...
