Common plots used in statistical analyses

Having learned how to create, lay out, and annotate time-series charts, we will now look at creating a variety that is useful in presenting statistical information.

Bar plots are useful in visualizing the relative differences in values of non-time-series data. Bar plots can be created by using the kind='bar' parameter of the .plot():

A multiple-series bar plot will be created to compare multiple values at each x-axis label:
