Plotting mean frequency

Lastly, we'll create a per-day average of the mentions of both hashtags and plot them across time. We'll first create proportions from the two boolean Series by the day, then we'll plot them.

  • Generate the mean number of tweets with the python column with .resample() and .mean() methods. .resample() takes one argument, '1 d', to produce daily averages.
  • Do the same with the rstats column.
  • Plot a line for #python usage with mean_python. Use mean_python.index.day as the x-axis.
  • Do the same with mean_rstats.
