Exploratory data analysis with streamlit, sweetviz and pandas profiling

by Anson Parker on 2021-06-01T15:50:00-04:00 in Multidisciplinary | 0 Comments

Exploratory data analysis (EDA)

allows developers and programmers to provide stakeholders with a clearer understanding of what questions may reasonably be asked of a dataset with very little programming effort.  How much data is actually present in every row or "what are the unique, or most common values in this column" are some basic questions can help shave up to 30% of the data science workflow experience off according to some random source on the internet, and from my perspective is just an essential first step, period.

Carnegie Mellon has a deep-dive chapter on the subject

https://www.stat.cmu.edu/~hseltman/309/Book/chapter4.pdf

and here's a brief and reasonably concise overview https://www.svds.com/value-exploratory-data-analysis/

EDA in Python

Pandas profiling and Sweetviz are simple installs that work well with Streamlit, 

To test you can set up a streamlit share and then install 

here's some python code wrapped in streamlit that provides both for you to test with a CSV of your choosing

--- i  pulled most of this from the video here...

to use this file as a basis for an even more stripped down version seen above
