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

Analyzing 2016 voter registration and voting


Similarly, we can look at voter registration versus actual voting (using census data from https://www.census.gov/data/tables/time-series/demo/voting-and-registration/p20-580.html).

First, we load our dataset and display head information to visually check for accurate loading:

df <- read.csv("Documents/B05238_05_registration.csv")summary(df)

So, we have some registration and voting information by state. Use R to automatically plot all the data in x and y format using the plot command:

plot(df)

We are specifically looking at the relationship between registering to vote and actually voting. We can see in the following graphic that most of the data is highly correlated (as evidenced by the 45 degree angles of most of the relationships):

We can produce somewhat similar results using Python, but the graphic display is not even close.

Import all of the packages we are using for the example:

from numpy import corrcoef, sum, log, arange
from numpy.random import...
