Seaborn

Seaborn is a powerful and user-friendly Python library built on top of Matplotlib. It simplifies the
process of creating attractive and informative statistical graphics, making it an excellent choice for
data visualization.

Key Features:

1. Ease of use: Simple syntax to create complex visualizations.


2. Built-in themes: Customizable themes for styling plots.
3. Statistical plotting: Built-in methods for regression, box plots, violin plots, etc.
4. Integration: Works seamlessly with pandas DataFrames and NumPy arrays.

Types:

Univariate Plots

These plots display the distribution of a single variable.

1. Histogram

Shows the frequency distribution of a variable.

Example:

import seaborn as sns

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

import numpy as np

# Generate random data

data = np.random.randn(1000)

# Create a histogram

sns.histplot(data, bins=30, color="blue")

plt.title("Univariate Plot - Histogram")

plt.xlabel("Value")

plt.ylabel("Frequency")

plt.show()

2. KDE Plot (Kernel Density Estimate)


Displays the probability density function of a variable.

Example:

sns.kdeplot(data, shade=True, color="red")

plt.title("Univariate Plot - KDE")

plt.xlabel("Value")

plt.ylabel("Density")

plt.show()

3. Box Plot

Summarizes data distribution using median, quartiles, and outliers.

Example:

sns.boxplot(x=data, color="cyan")

plt.title("Univariate Plot - Box Plot")

plt.xlabel("Value")

plt.show()

4. Violin Plot

Combines KDE and box plot to show distribution and density.

Example:

sns.violinplot(x=data, color="purple")

plt.title("Univariate Plot - Violin Plot")

plt.xlabel("Value")

plt.show()

Bivariate Plots

These plots explore the relationship between two variables.

1. Scatter Plot
Visualizes the relationship between two continuous variables.

Example:

x = np.random.rand(100)

y = np.random.rand(100)

sns.scatterplot(x=x, y=y, color="green")

plt.title("Bivariate Plot - Scatter Plot")

plt.xlabel("X-axis")

plt.ylabel("Y-axis")

plt.show()

2. Line Plot

Shows trends or changes between two variables over time or sequence.

Example:

x = np.linspace(0, 10, 100)

y = np.sin(x)

sns.lineplot(x=x, y=y, color="blue")

plt.title("Bivariate Plot - Line Plot")

plt.xlabel("X-axis")

plt.ylabel("Y-axis")

plt.show()

3. Heatmap

Displays a matrix of values using color intensity to indicate magnitude.

Example:

data = np.random.rand(10, 10)

sns.heatmap(data, annot=True, cmap="coolwarm")

plt.title("Bivariate Plot - Heatmap")


plt.show()

4. Bar Plot

Compares categorical and numerical variables.

Example:

categories = ["A", "B", "C"]

values = [10, 20, 15]

sns.barplot(x=categories, y=values, palette="muted")

plt.title("Bivariate Plot - Bar Plot")

plt.xlabel("Categories")

plt.ylabel("Values")

plt.show()

5. Pair Plot:(Special Bivariate Plot)

Plots all possible pairwise scatter plots of numerical variables.

Example:

import pandas as pd

data = pd.DataFrame({

"X": np.random.rand(50),

"Y": np.random.rand(50),

"Z": np.random.rand(50)

})

sns.pairplot(data)

plt.suptitle("Bivariate Plot - Pair Plot", y=1.02)

plt.show()
