Displot
It is used basically for univariant set of observations and visualizes it through a histogram i.e. only one observation and hence we choose one particular column of the dataset. Syntax:
distplot(a[, bins, hist, kde, rug, fit, ...])
Example:
Python3
# set the background style of the plotsns.set_style('whitegrid')sns.distplot(df['total_bill'], kde = False, color ='red', bins = 30) |
Output: Explanation:
- KDE stands for Kernel Density Estimation and that is another kind of the plot in seaborn.
- bins is used to set the number of bins you want in your plot and it actually depends on your dataset.
- color is used to specify the color of the plot
Now looking at this we can say that most of the total bill given lies between 10 and 20.
Seaborn | Distribution Plots
Seaborn is a Python data visualization library based on Matplotlib. It provides a high-level interface for drawing attractive and informative statistical graphics. This article deals with the distribution plots in seaborn which is used for examining univariate and bivariate distributions. In this article we will be discussing 4 types of distribution plots namely:
- joinplot
- distplot
- pairplot
- rugplot
Besides providing different kinds of visualization plots, seaborn also contains some built-in datasets. We will be using the tips dataset in this article. The “tips” dataset contains information about people who probably had food at a restaurant and whether or not they left a tip, their age, gender and so on. Lets have a look at it. Code :
Python3
# import the necessary librariesimport seaborn as snsimport matplotlib.pyplot as plt % matplotlib inline# to ignore the warnings from warnings import filterwarnings# load the datasetdf = sns.load_dataset('tips')# the first five entries of the datasetdf.head() |
Now, lets proceed onto the plots.
