Boxplot
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.pyplot import boxplot, show # Required libraries for boxplot
values = [2, 3, 4, 1, -3.04, 5, 4, 6, 7, 2, 4, 6, 8, 6 , 9, 12, 14, 11, 5, 16] # Data points (unordered)
plt.boxplot(values, vert=True, showfliers=True) # Create a simple boxplot
plt.show() # Display the boxplot
plt.boxplot(values, showfliers=False, vert=False) # Boxplot without outliers and in horizontal view
plt.show() # Display the boxplot
plt.boxplot(values, whis="range", vert=False) # Boxplot considering all data points within range
plt.show() # Display the boxplot
plt.boxplot(values, meanline=True, showmeans=True, vert=True) # Display mean line in the boxplot
plt.show() # Display the boxplot
# To plot multiple boxplots on one plane
import numpy as np
collectn_1 = np.random.normal(100, 10, 200) # Generate random data
collectn_2 = np.random.normal(80, 30, 200)
collectn_3 = np.random.normal(90, 20, 200)
values = [collectn_1, collectn_2, collectn_3] # List of data sets
plt.boxplot(values, showmeans=True, meanline=True) # Display multiple boxplots
plt.show() # Display the boxplots
Histogram Notebook
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
x = np.random.normal(170, 10, 250) # Generate random data with normal distribution
plt.hist(x) # Plot histogram
plt.show() # Display the histogram
# Detailed explanation of histogram syntax and parameters
matplotlib.pyplot.hist(x, bins=None, range=None, density=False, weights=None, cumulative=False,
histtype='bar', align='mid', orientation='vertical', rwidth=None, log=False, color=None, label=None,
stacked=False, *, data=None, **kwargs)
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
x = [21,22,23,4,5,6,77,8,9,10,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,18,49,50,100]
n_bins = 10 # Number of bins for histogram
bin_heights, bins, patches = plt.hist(x, bins=10, facecolor='cyan') # Plot histogram with cyan color
plt.show() # Display the histogram
bin_heights # Check the bin heights
Histogram Notebook Commands
1. import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
o Syntax: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
2. plt.hist()
o Syntax: plt.hist(data, bins=10, range=None, density=False,
facecolor='cyan')
o Parameters:
data: Data for which the histogram is plotted.
bins: Number of bins (divisions of the x-axis).
range: Lower and upper range of the bins.
density: Whether to normalize the histogram (True/False).
facecolor: Color of the bars.
3. np.random.normal()
o Syntax: np.random.normal(loc=170, scale=10, size=250)
o Explanation: Generates random numbers following a normal distribution with
specified mean and standard deviation.
4. plt.show()
o Syntax: p lt.show()
o Explanation: Displays the current plot on the screen.
5. Accessing Bin Heights
o Syntax: bin_heights, bins, patches = plt.hist(data, bins=10)
o Explanation: Captures information about the histogram, such as the heights of
the bins and their boundaries.
