Countplot

    A countplot basically counts the categories and returns a count of their occurrences. It is one of the simplest plots provided by the seaborn library.










   
  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 22 - Seaborn - Line Plot, Barplot

-

     By  Jerin Lalichan  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.

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 ...

Day 18 - Advanced Ensemble techniques - Stacking

    By  Jerin Lalichan  Advanced Ensemble techniques Here are the advanced methods in Ensemble techniques: 1. Stacking      This technique uses prediction from different models (eg. Decision tree, SVM, KNN, etc.) to form a new model. This model is used for making predictions on the test set. The concept used here is that each model can learn different parts of the problem but not the whole problem.       So, you can build multiple different learners and you use them to build an intermediate prediction, one prediction for each learned model. Then you add a new model which learns from the intermediate predictions of the same target. Steps: We split the training data into K-folds like in cross-validation. A base model is fitted on the K-1 parts and predictions are made for Kth part. We do this for each part of the training data. The base model is then fitted on the whole train data set to calculate its performance on the test set....
