DATA ANALYSIS AND DATA SCIENCE WITH PYTHON

TASK - 2

Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)

Objective

Perform an in-depth exploratory data analysis (EDA) on a dataset to identify trends, patterns,
anomalies, and factors influencing performance.

Project 1: General EDA

Steps to Follow

1. Dataset Selection

○Choose a dataset like "Global Superstore" containing columns such as Sales,


Profit, Region, and Product Categories.
2. Tasks to Perform

○ Clean Data:

■ Handle missing values by filling them with appropriate measures (mean,


median, or placeholders) or by removing affected rows/columns.
■ Remove duplicates to ensure the dataset's integrity.
■ Detect and handle outliers using statistical techniques (e.g., IQR or
Z-scores).
○ Statistical Analysis:

■ Use measures like mean, median, standard deviation, and variance to


understand the data distribution.
■ Compute correlations between variables to study relationships.
○ Data Visualization:

■ Use histograms to explore distributions of numerical data.


■ Use boxplots to identify outliers in continuous variables.
■ Use heatmaps to visualize correlations and relationships between
features.

3. Deliverables

○ A cleaned dataset free from missing values, duplicates, and outliers.


○ A summary report highlighting trends, patterns, and anomalies.
○ Visualizations: Histograms, boxplots, heatmaps, and other relevant graphs.

Project 2: Sales Performance Analysis

Objective

Analyze sales data to identify trends, relationships, and factors affecting sales performance.

Steps to Follow

1. Dataset Selection

○Dataset Name: sales_data.csv


○Columns:
■ Product, Region, Sales, Profit, Discount, Category, Date
2. Tasks to Perform

○ Load and Explore the Dataset:

■ Use libraries like Pandas and NumPy to load and inspect the dataset
(shape, missing values, data types).
○ Data Cleaning:

■ Remove duplicates using drop_duplicates().


■ Fill missing values using appropriate strategies like the mean or median.
■ Convert the Date column to a datetime object for trend analysis.
○ Exploratory Data Analysis:

■ Plot time series graphs to observe trends in Sales over time.


■ Use scatter plots to study the relationship between Profit and Discount.
■ Visualize sales distribution by Region and Category using bar plots or pie
charts.
○ Predictive Modeling:

■ Train a Linear Regression Model to predict Sales using Profit and


Discount as features.

■ Evaluate model performance using metrics like R² score and Mean
Squared Error (MSE).

Deliverables

1. Visualizations:

○ Sales trends over time (time series plot).


○ Scatter plot showing Profit vs. Discount.
○ Bar or pie charts showing Sales by Region and Category.
2. Predictive Model:

○ A Linear Regression Model capable of predicting Sales based on key variables.


3. Insights and Recommendations:

○ Provide actionable insights on improving sales (e.g., optimal discount rates,


top-performing regions, or categories).

Expected Outcomes

● Develop the ability to clean and analyze real-world datasets.


● Gain insights into the factors driving sales performance.
● Build simple predictive models to support business decisions.
● Present findings with effective visualizations and actionable recommendations.

Deadline Compliance

● Restriction: Submit the project within 7 days from the start date.
● Reason: Meeting deadlines is crucial in the real-world software development
environment. This restriction helps students practice time management and task
prioritization. In professional settings, tight deadlines are often the norm, and learning
to meet them without compromising quality is an essential skill.
● Learning Outcome: Students will learn to manage their time effectively, complete
projects under pressure, and deliver results on time, which are all important skills in
the workplace.
