Strategies for remaining missing data

Imputing missing plane prices

Converting and analyzing categorical data

Finding the number of unique values

Flight duration categories

Adding duration categories

Working with numeric data

Flight duration

Adding descriptive statistics

Handling outliers

Options

What to do with outliers

Identifying outliers

Removing outliers

Data Cleaning and Imputation

Variables in datasets don't exist in a vacuum; they have relationships with each other. In this chapter, you'll look at relationships across numerical, categorical, and even DateTime data, exploring the direction and strength of these relationships as well as ways to visualize them.

Patterns over time

Importing DateTime data

Updating data type to DateTime

Visualizing relationships over time

Correlation

Interpreting a heatmap

Visualizing variable relationships

Visualizing multiple variable relationships

Factor relationships and distributions

Categorical data in scatter plots

Exploring with KDE plots

Relationships in Data

Exploratory data analysis is a crucial step in the data science workflow, but it isn't the end! Now it's time to learn techniques and considerations you can use to successfully move forward with your projects after you've finished exploring!

Considerations for categorical data

Checking for class imbalance

Cross-tabulation

Generating new features

Extracting features for correlation

Calculating salary percentiles

Categorizing salaries

Generating hypotheses

Comparing salaries

Choosing a hypothesis

Course Glossary

So you’ve got some interesting data - where do you begin your analysis? This course will cover the process of exploring and analyzing data, from understanding what’s included in a dataset to incorporating exploration findings into a data science workflow. 

Using data on unemployment figures and plane ticket prices, you’ll leverage Python to summarize and validate data, calculate, identify and replace missing values, and clean both numerical and categorical values. Throughout the course, you’ll create beautiful Seaborn visualizations to understand variables and their relationships. 

Finally, the course will show how exploratory findings feed into data science workflows by creating new features, balancing categorical features, and generating hypotheses from findings. 

By the end of this course, you’ll have the confidence to perform your own exploratory data analysis (EDA) in Python.You’ll be able to explain your findings visually to others and suggest the next steps for gathering insights from your data!
