Week 1 – Introduction to Data Visualization Tools

1.1. Introduction to Data Visualization

Why Build Visuals?

For exploratory data analysis
Communicate data clearly
Share unbiased representation of data
Use them to support recommendations to different stakeholders

Best Practices: When creating a visual, always remember:

Less is more effective
Less is more attractive
Less is more impactive

Reference: Dark Horse Analytics Co.

Example:

An ugly pie chart figure:

Now apply the recommendations of Dark Horse Analytics: Remove background, borders, redundant legends, 3D, text bolding, and reduce color

Another way to illustrate the result:

1.2. Introduction to Matplotlib

History:

Created by John Hunter, who was a neurobiologist and was part of a research team that was working on analyzing Electrocorticography (ECoG) signals

Matplotlib’s architecture is composed of three main layers:

Back-end layer: has three built-in abstract interface classes: FigureCanvas, Renderer, Event
- FigureCanvas (matplotlib.backend_based.FigureCanvas): defines and encompasses the area on which the figure is drawn
- Renderer (matplotlib.backend_based.Renderer): an instance of the renderer class knows how to draw on the figure canvas
- Event (matplotlib.backend_based.Event): handles user inputs such as keyboard strokes and mouse clicks
Artist layer:
- Comprised of one main object—the Artist. The Artist is the object that knows how to take the Renderer and use it to put ink on the canvas
- Everything you see on a Matplotlib figure is an Artist instance
- Titles, lines, tick labels, images, and so on, all correspond to individual Artist instances
- Where much of the heavy lifting happens and is usually the appropriate programming paradigm when writing a web application server, or a UI application, or perhaps a script to be shared with other developers
- Two types of Artist objects:
  - Primitive type: Line2D, Rectangle, Circle, or Text
  - Composite type: Axis, Tick, Axes, and Figure
- The top-level Matplotlib object that contains and manages all of the elements in a given graphic is the Figure artist, and the most important composite artist is the Axes because it is where most of the Matplotlib API plotting methods are defined, including methods to create and manipulate the ticks, the axis lines, the grid or the plot background
- Each composite artist may contain other composite artists as well as primitive artists. So a figure artist for example would contain an axis artist as well as a rectangle or text artists.
Scripting layer:
- Comprised mainly of pylot, a scripting interface that is lighter than the Artist layer
- Appropriate layer for everyday purposes and is considered a lighter scripting interface to simplify common tasks and for a quick and easy generation of graphics and plots.

1.3. Basic Plotting with Matplotlib

Using Jupyter notebook: Magic function: %matplotlib, e.g., %matplotlib inline to enforce plots to be rendered within the browser (Jupyter notebook), and pass in inline as the backend.
Matplotlib has a number of different backends available. One limitation of this backend is that you cannot modify a figure once it is rendered. So after rendering the above figure, there is no way for us to add, for example, a figure title or label its axes. You will need to generate a new plot and add a title and the axes labels before calling the show function.
A backend that overcomes this limitation is the notebook backend
- With the notebook backend in place, if a plt function is called, it checks if an active figure exists, and any functions you call will be applied to this active figure
- If a figure does not exist, it renders a new figure. So when we call the plt.plot function to plot a circular mark at position (5, 5), the backend checks if an active figure exists since there isn’t an active figure it generates a figure and adds a circular mark to position (5, 5)
- And what is beautiful about this back end is that now we can easily add a title for example or labels to the axes after the plot was rendered, without the need to regenerate the figure
pandas also has a built-in implementation of plotting

Example of plotting using pandas:


<span># Given pandas dataframe df </span><span>df</span><span>.</span><span>plot</span><span>(</span><span>kind</span> <span>=</span> <span>"</span><span>line</span><span>"</span><span>)</span>  <span># line plot </span><span>df</span><span>.</span><span>plot</span><span>(</span><span>kind</span> <span>=</span> <span>"</span><span>hist</span><span>"</span><span>)</span>  <span># histogram plot </span>
<span># Given pandas dataframe df </span><span>df</span><span>.</span><span>plot</span><span>(</span><span>kind</span> <span>=</span> <span>"</span><span>line</span><span>"</span><span>)</span>  <span># line plot </span><span>df</span><span>.</span><span>plot</span><span>(</span><span>kind</span> <span>=</span> <span>"</span><span>hist</span><span>"</span><span>)</span>  <span># histogram plot </span>
# Given pandas dataframe df df.plot(kind = "line")  # line plot df.plot(kind = "hist")  # histogram plot

NOTE: Matplotlib plots the indices of a dataframe on the horizontal axis, and with the dataframe as shown, the countries will be plotted on the horizontal axis. So to fix this, we need to take the transpose of the dataframe

2.2. Histograms

Is a way of representing the frequency distribution of a variable

2.3. Bar Charts

2.4. Pie Charts

A pie chart is a circular statistical graphic divided into slices to illustrate numerical proportion
Most argue that pie charts fail to accurately display data with any consistency. Bar charts are much better when it comes to representing the data in a consistent way and getting the message across

Week 3 – Advanced Visualizations and Geospatial Data

3.1. Waffle Charts

A waffle chart is a great way to visualize data in relation to a whole or to highlight progress against a given threshold
For example, say immigration from Scandinavia to Canada is comprised only of immigration from Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, and we’re interested in visualizing the contribution of each of these countries to the Scandinavian immigration to Canada. The main idea here is for a given waffle chart whose desired height and width are defined, the contribution of each country is transformed into a number of tiles that is proportional to the country’s contribution to the total, so that more the contribution the more the tiles, resulting in what resembles a waffle when combined
Unfortunately Matplotlib does not have a built-in function to create waffle charts.

3.2. Word Clouds

3.3. Seaborn and Regression Plots

3.4. Introduction to Folium and Map Styles

Folium:

A powerful data visualization library in Python that was built primarily to help people visualize geospatial data.
With Folium, you can create a map of any location in the world as long as you know its latitude and longitude values
Folium enables both the binding of data to a map for choropleth (i.e., thematic map) visualizations as well as passing visualization as markers on the map
The library has a number of built-in tilesets from OpenStreetMap, Mapbox, and Stamen, and support custom tilesets with Mapbox API keys
The map is interactive, i.e., one can zoom in and zoom out after the map is rendered
The default map style is the Open Street Map, which shows a street view of an area when you’re zoomed in and shows the borders of the world countries when you’re zoomed all the way out

Stamen Toner: great for visualizing and exploring river meanders and coastal zones
Stamen Terrain: great for visualizing hill shading and natural vegetation colors
