Ultimate Guide to Heatmaps in Seaborn with Python

Introduction A heatmap is a data visualization technique that uses color to show how a value of interest changes depending on the values of two other variables. For example, you could use a heatmap to understand how air pollution varies according to the time of day across a set of cities. Another, perhaps more rare case of using heatmaps is to observe human behavior – you can create visualizations of how people use social media, how their answers on surveys […]

Matplotlib Line Plot – Tutorial and Examples

Introduction Matplotlib is one of the most widely used data visualization libraries in Python. From simple to complex visualizations, it’s the go-to library for most. In this tutorial, we’ll take a look at how to plot a line plot in Matplotlib – one of the most basic types of plots. Line Plots display numerical values one one axis, and categorical values on the other. They can typically be used in much the same way Bar Plots can be used, though, […]

Seaborn Violin Plot – Tutorial and Examples

Introduction Seaborn is one of the most widely used data visualization libraries in Python, as an extension to Matplotlib. It offers a simple, intuitive, yet highly customizable API for data visualization. In this tutorial, we’ll take a look at how to plot a Violin Plot in Seaborn. Violin plots are used to visualize data distributions, displaying the range, median, and distribution of the data. Violin plots show the same summary statistics as box plots, but they also include Kernel Density […]

Calculating Pearson Correlation Coefficient in Python with Numpy

Introduction This article is an introduction to the Pearson Correlation Coefficient, its manual calculation and its computation via Python’s numpy module. The Pearson correlation coefficient measures the linear association between variables. Its value can be interpreted like so: +1 – Complete positive correlation +0.8 – Strong positive correlation +0.6 – Moderate positive correlation 0 – no correlation whatsoever -0.6 – Moderate negative correlation -0.8 – Strong negative correlation -1 – Complete negative correlation We’ll illustrate how the correlation coefficient varies […]

Matplotlib: Change Scatter Plot Marker Size

Introduction Matplotlib is one of the most widely used data visualization libraries in Python. Much of Matplotlib’s popularity comes from its customization options – you can tweak just about any element from its hierarchy of objects. In this tutorial, we’ll take a look at how to change the marker size in a Matplotlib scatter plot. Import Data We’ll use the World Happiness dataset, and compare the Happiness Score against varying features to see what influences perceived happiness in the world: […]

Matplotlib Histogram Plot – Tutorial and Examples

Introduction Matplotlib is one of the most widely used data visualization libraries in Python. From simple to complex visualizations, it’s the go-to library for most. In this tutorial, we’ll take a look at how to plot a histogram plot in Matplotlib. Histogram plots are a great way to visualize distributions of data – In a histogram, each bar groups numbers into ranges. Taller bars show that more data falls in that range. A histogram displays the shape and spread of […]
