Exploratory data analytics through plots
Exploratory data analytics is one of the most important processes in a data science workflow. It is simply a thorough exploration of the data to find any possible patterns that can be identified through basic statistics and the shape of the data. It is mostly done with the help of plots, as visual information is much easier to comprehend than complex statistical terms.
