Creating a bar plot

Las Vegas hotels are seeing large variations in how helpful reviews appear to other people. The owners of these hotels are curious if there are times of the year when reviews have been more helpful to their potential guests. Help the owners understand their reviews better by creating a bar plot of the average number of helpful votes per review across the categorical variable "Period of stay". The dataset reviews has been preloaded for you.

Almost every dataset contains categorical information—and often it’s an unexplored goldmine of information. In this chapter, you’ll learn how pandas handles categorical columns using the data type category. You’ll also discover how to group data by categories to unearth great summary statistics.

Exercise 1: Course introduction Exercise 2: Categorical vs. numerical Exercise 3: Exploring a target variable Exercise 4: Ordinal categorical variables Exercise 5: Categorical data in pandas Exercise 6: Setting dtypes and saving memory Exercise 7: Creating a categorical pandas Series Exercise 8: Setting dtype when reading data Exercise 9: Grouping data by category in pandas Exercise 10: Create lots of groups Exercise 11: Setting up a .groupby() statement Exercise 12: Using pandas functions effectively

Now it’s time to learn how to set, add, and remove categories from a Series. You’ll also explore how to update, rename, collapse, and reorder categories, before applying your new skills to clean and access other data within your DataFrame.

Exercise 1: Setting category variables Exercise 2: Setting categories Exercise 3: Adding categories Exercise 4: Removing categories Exercise 5: Updating categories Exercise 6: Collapsing categories knowledge check Exercise 7: Renaming categories Exercise 8: Collapsing categories Exercise 9: Reordering categories Exercise 10: Reordering categories in a Series Exercise 11: Using .groupby() after reordering Exercise 12: Cleaning and accessing data Exercise 13: Cleaning variables Exercise 14: Accessing and filtering data

In this chapter, you’ll use the seaborn Python library to create informative visualizations using categorical data—including categorical plots (cat-plot), box plots, bar plots, point plots, and count plots. You’ll then learn how to visualize categorical columns and split data across categorical columns to visualize summary statistics of numerical columns.
