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

We have reached the end of this chapter and have successfully analyzed the amount of energy consumed by household appliances based on temperature, humidity, and other external weather conditions. We applied several data analysis techniques, including feature engineering and designing boxplots for specific features, to gain a better understanding of the information that the data contains. Additionally, we also plotted distributions of skewed data to observe them better.

In the next chapter, we will come to the end of our data analysis journey by applying our techniques to one last dataset. We will be analyzing and assessing the air quality of multiple localities in Beijing, China. Be ready to apply all your data analysis knowledge gained so far on this last dataset.
