You’ll begin this Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) course by learning how to use descriptive statistics and identify missing data, and apply imputation techniques to fill the gaps in your data.

What is exploratory data analysis?

Steps to EDA

In the second chapter of this course you'll learn how to identify and address outliers within the dataset.  You will build histograms to analyze distributions and use winsorizing to remove outliers.

Distributions and outliers

Choices for finding outliers

Create your first histogram

Identify outliers

Addressing outliers in the data

Distributions and Outliers

Now it’s time to explore the relationships between categorical variables using proportions. You’ll then use box plots and descriptive statistics to determine how a continuous variable is influenced by a categorical one.
