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.

In the previous chapter, we took a look at the retail industry through the dataset of an online retail store based out of the UK. We applied a variety of techniques, such as breaking down the date-time column into individual columns containing the year, month, day of the week, hour, and so on, and creating line graphs to conduct a time series analysis to answer questions such as 'Which month was the most popular for the store?'

This chapter guides you through the data-specific analysis of a real-world domain and situation. This chapter focuses on a dataset containing information regarding the energy consumption of household appliances. The true goal of this dataset is to understand the relationships between the temperature and humidity of various rooms of a house (as well as outside the house) to then predict the energy consumption (usage) of appliances. However, in this chapter, we are just going to analyze the dataset to reveal patterns between the features...
