Overview of this book

Jupyter Notebook is a web-based environment that enables interactive computing in notebook documents. It allows you to create documents that contain live code, equations, and visualizations. This book is a comprehensive guide to getting started with data science using the popular Jupyter notebook. If you are familiar with Jupyter notebook and want to learn how to use its capabilities to perform various data science tasks, this is the book for you! From data exploration to visualization, this book will take you through every step of the way in implementing an effective data science pipeline using Jupyter. You will also see how you can utilize Jupyter's features to share your documents and codes with your colleagues. The book also explains how Python 3, R, and Julia can be integrated with Jupyter for various data science tasks. By the end of this book, you will comfortably leverage the power of Jupyter to perform various tasks in data science successfully.

Preface

Visualizing average ratings by cuisine


Now that we have the cuisine averages computed, we can display them in a histogram to get an idea of their spread. We first convert the dictionary to a data frame. Then plot the Rating column of the data frame into a histogram:

Note

We are using five bins to correspond to the five possible ratings.

import pandas as pdimport numpy as npdf = pd.DataFrame(columns=['Cuisine', 'Rating'])for cuisine in cuisines:    df.loc[len(df)]=[cuisine, cuisines[cuisine]]hist, bin_edges = np.histogram(df['Rating'], bins=range(5))import matplotlib.pyplot as pltplt.bar(bin_edges[:-1], hist, width = 1)plt.xlim(min(bin_edges), max(bin_edges))plt.show()   

Again, we see a clear mark towards high average values. I had tried to get a better gradient on the data display to no avail.
