📊 Data Visualization with Seaborn
Seaborn is a powerful Python library for statistical data visualization, built on top of Matplotlib. It simplifies creating complex plots like heatmaps, line plots, scatter plots, and distribution plots.
📋 Key Features of Seaborn
- Integrated with Pandas: Seamlessly works with dataframes for easy data manipulation.
- Aesthetic Defaults: Automatically adjusts colors, scales, and styles for better readability.
- Statistical Annotations: Adds confidence intervals, regression lines, and other statistical elements.
📦 Installation
To use Seaborn, first install it via pip:
pip install seaborn
Then, import it in your script:
import seaborn as sns
📈 Common Plot Types
- Line Plot
sns.lineplot(x="x", y="y", data=df)
- Scatter Plot
sns.scatterplot(x="x", y="y", hue="category", data=df)
- Histogram
sns.histplot(data=df, x="value")
- Box Plot
sns.boxplot(data=df, x="category", y="value")
🧪 Example: Visualizing a Dataset
import seaborn as sns
sns.set_theme()
tips = sns.load_dataset("tips")
sns.relplot(data=tips, x="total_bill", y="tip", col="time", hue="smoker", size="size")
