You have the ability to manually cast these variables to more appropriate data types: # Data type conversionsĭf = df.astype('datetime64')ĭf = df.astype('category') In our example, you can see that pandas correctly inferred the data types of certain variables, but left a few as object data types. You can investigate the data types of the variables within your dataset by calling the dtypes attribute: df.dtypesĬalling the dtypes attribute of a dataframe will return information about the data types of the individual variables within the dataframe. In our example, you can see that the sessions dataset we are working with is 65,499 rows (sessions) by 5 columns. You can get a sense of the shape of your dataset using the dataframe shape attribute: df.shapeĬalling the shape attribute of a dataframe will return a tuple containing the dimensions (rows x columns) of a dataframe. You can use the following line of Python to access the results of your SQL query as a dataframe and assign them to a new variable: df = datasets Mode automatically pipes the results of your SQL queries into a pandas dataframe assigned to the variable datasets. Inside of the Python notebook, let’s start by importing the Python modules that you'll be using throughout the remainder of this recipe: import numpy as npįrom matplotlib.ticker import StrMethodFormatter Now that you have your data wrangled, you’re ready to move over to the Python notebook to prepare your data for visualization.
You can do this by navigating to the 3 dots next to ‘Query 1” in your editor toolbar and clicking “Rename.” Data Exploration & Preparation Once the SQL query has completed running, rename your SQL query to Sessions so that you can identify it within the Python notebook. Using the schema browser within the editor, make sure your data source is set to the Mode Public Warehouse data source and run the following query to wrangle your data: select * For this example, you’ll be using the sessions dataset available in Mode's Public Data Warehouse. You’ll use SQL to wrangle the data you’ll need for our analysis. You can find implementations of all of the steps outlined below in this example Mode report. The steps in this recipe are divided into the following sections: In our example, you're going to be visualizing the distribution of session duration for a website. Specifically, you’ll be using pandas hist() method, which is simply a wrapper for the matplotlib pyplot API.

This recipe will show you how to go about creating a histogram using Python. By visualizing these binned counts in a columnar fashion, we can obtain a very immediate and intuitive sense of the distribution of values within a variable. A histogram divides the values within a numerical variable into “bins”, and counts the number of observations that fall into each bin. When exploring a dataset, you'll often want to get a quick understanding of the distribution of certain numerical variables within it.
A histogram is a graphical representation commonly used to visualize the distribution of numerical data.
