The Data Analysis Workshop

By: Gururajan Govindan, Shubhangi Hora, Konstantin Palagachev

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.

Summary

In this chapter, we reviewed and analyzed the medical data of 303 patients and linked the features with the diagnosis of heart disease. We checked for outliers and created different visualizations depending on the type of feature we were analyzing. Additionally, we created plots with three features each to understand the relationships between all three. We also created new features from existing features to visualize trends between the presence of heart disease and age and cholesterol.

In the next chapter, we will apply similar data analysis techniques (such as searching for missing values and outliers, creating visualizations, and so on) to a dataset from the retail industry. We will also deal with missing values and outliers, rather than just leaving them be, as we did in this chapter.
