Technical requirements
We will leverage the pandas
, ydata_profiling
, dtale
, autoviz
, sweetviz
, matplotlib
, and seaborn
libraries in Python for this chapter. The code and notebooks for this chapter are available on GitHub at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Exploratory-Data-Analysis-with-Python-Cookbook.
