Data visualization in Python using Seaborn
Blog post from LogRocket
Data visualization plays a crucial role in data science, and Python's Matplotlib and Seaborn libraries are essential tools for creating informative and aesthetically pleasing visuals from complex datasets. This comprehensive guide explores how to use Seaborn for data analysis and visualization, focusing on the diamond dataset, which includes 54,000 entries with various features like carat, cut, color, and price. The guide details the process of installing necessary libraries, loading data, and performing Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) through univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses. It introduces different plot types such as histograms, KDE plots, count plots, scatter plots, boxplots, and pair plots, explaining their uses in identifying data trends and relationships. Additionally, the guide contrasts Seaborn with Matplotlib, highlighting Seaborn's user-friendly nature and default styles while acknowledging Matplotlib's customization capabilities. Finally, it encourages further exploration of both libraries' documentation to master advanced data visualization techniques.
