    Exploratory data analysis (EDA) is the process of exploring and summarizing data to understand patterns, relationships, and trends. EDA helps formulate questions, make data-driven decisions, and gain initial insights. Key steps in EDA include data cleaning, descriptive statistics, data visualization, identifying data distribution and outliers, and correlation analysis.

    What is Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)?

    The process of exploring and summarizing the main characteristics of the data
    to uncover patterns, relationships, and trends.
    It helps in formulating questions and making data-driven decisions.

    Importance of EDA:

    ● Provides an initial understanding of the dataset.


    ● Helps in identifying data quality issues, such as missing values, outliers,
    and inconsistencies.
    ● Guides the selection of appropriate statistical techniques and models.
    ● Helps in feature engineering and variable selection.
    ● Enables the discovery of meaningful insights and actionable conclusions.

    Steps in EDA
    1. Data Cleaning
    2. Descriptive Statistics
    3. Data Visualization
    4. Data Distribution
    5. Correlation Analysis
    6. Outlier Detection or Anomaly Detection
    7. Data Transformation

    3
    Data Cleaning
    Data cleaning is the process of fixing or removing incorrect, corrupted,
    incorrectly formatted, duplicate, or incomplete data within a dataset. When
    combining multiple data sources, there are many opportunities for data to be
    duplicated or mislabeled.

    Importance: Having clean data will ultimately increase overall productivity and
    allow for the highest quality information in your decision-making

    4
    Data Cleaning Techniques
    Handling Missing Data: We use methods like filling or removing to deal with
    missing values.

    Outlier Detection: Find and address unusual data that can affect analysis or
    models.

    Data Standardization: Make data consistent for easier analysis and comparison.

    Data Validation: Check data against rules to ensure accuracy and reliability.

    5
    Descriptive Statistics
    Descriptive statistics is the branch of statistics that focuses on summarizing and
    describing the main features/Attributes/Variables of a dataset.

    Importance: They can simplify and organize large amounts of data into a few
    numbers or graphs which makes it easier to grasp the main features and patterns
    of your data, as well as identify any outliers or errors.

    6
    Data Visualization
    Data visualization is the graphical representation of data and information. It
    involves creating visual elements such as charts, graphs, and maps to help
    people understand complex data patterns.

    7
    Importance of data Visualization

    1. Enhances Data Understanding

    2. Identification of Patterns and Trends

    3. Quick Problem Identification

    4. Narrative Building

    8
    Types of Data and Visualization
    Different data types require different visualization techniques to convey
    insights accurately.

    9
    Data Distribution
    Data distribution refers to how data is spread out or clustered around certain
    values or ranges. It is a way to organize trends and patterns observed in
    dataset so that they are easier to understand.
    Correlation Analysis
    Correlation Analysis is also known as bivariate. It is primarily concerned with
    finding out whether relationship exists between variables and then determining
    the magnitude and action of that relationship.
    Outlier/Anomaly Detection
    Outlier detection is the process of detecting unusual data points that are far
    away from average values. Generally it is a way to identify .rare items from a
    dataset.
    Data Transformation
    Data Transformation is the process of converting data from one format to
    another. Such as a database file, XML document or Excel spreadsheet, into
    another. Transformations typically involve converting a raw data source into a
    cleansed, validated and ready-to-use format.
