Activity 7.01: Performing the OSE technique from OSEMN

Solution:

  1. Import the necessary libraries:

    # Removes Warnings

    import warnings

    warnings.filterwarnings('ignore')

    #import the necessary packages

    import pandas as pd

    import numpy as np

    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

    import seaborn as sns

  2. Download the dataset from https://packt.link/80blQ and save it as Telco_Churn_Data.csv. Make sure to run the notebook from the same folder as the dataset.
  3. Create a DataFrame called data and read the dataset using pandas' read.csv method. Look at the first few rows of the DataFrame:

    data= pd.read_csv(r'Telco_Churn_Data.csv')

    data.head(5)

    Note

    Make sure you change the path (emboldened in the preceding code snippet) to the CSV file based on its location on your system. If you're running the Jupyter notebook from the same directory where the CSV file is stored, you can run the preceding code without any modification.
