Overview

Learn about exploratory data analysis (EDA) techniques.

In this course, you will learn about exploratory data analysis techniques in Python, including:

- EDA for data preparation
- Summary statistics
- Data visualization techniques
- EDA prior to building a machine learning model

Prior to taking this course, you should have some knowledge of base Python and experience with pandas DataFrames.

Exploratory data analysis is an important part of any Data Scientist or Analyst's workflow, so we highly recommend this course for anyone who is interested in working with data.
