Overview of this book

Businesses today operate online and generate data almost continuously. While not all data in its raw form may seem useful, if processed and analyzed correctly, it can provide you with valuable hidden insights. The Data Analysis Workshop will help you learn how to discover these hidden patterns in your data, to analyze them, and leverage the results to help transform your business. The book begins by taking you through the use case of a bike rental shop. You'll be shown how to correlate data, plot histograms, and analyze temporal features. As you progress, you’ll learn how to plot data for a hydraulic system using the Seaborn and Matplotlib libraries, and explore a variety of use cases that show you how to join and merge databases, prepare data for analysis, and handle imbalanced data. By the end of the book, you'll have learned different data analysis techniques, including hypothesis testing, correlation, and null-value imputation, and will have become a confident data analyst.

Introduction

In the previous chapter, we looked at a dataset regarding credit cards, which was used to predict whether or not the customers would default. We applied different data analysis techniques, such as univariate analysis and bivariate analysis, to understand and process customers' payment histories and identify relationships between different features.

In this chapter, we are going to work with a dataset from the medical industry. This dataset is called the Heart Disease dataset and has been published in the UCI Machine Learning Repository. This dataset originally contained 75 attributes, but only 14 of those attributes have been used by published experiments, so we will also be using this subset for our data analysis. The dataset uses a lot of medical terminology that you may be unfamiliar with, but the features will be explained in the exercises so that you are aware of what you are analyzing.

We will be checking for outliers, missing values, and the trends and...
