Seaborn
Visualize Distributions With Seaborn
Seaborn is a library that uses Matplotlib underneath to plot graphs. It will be used to visualize random distributions.
Install Seaborn.
If you have Python and PIP already installed on a system, install it using this command:
C:\Users\Your Name>pip install seaborn
If you use Jupyter, install Seaborn using this command:
C:\Users\Your Name>!pip install seaborn
Distplots
Distplot stands for distribution plot, it takes as input an array and plots a curve corresponding to the distribution of points in the array.
Import Matplotlib
Import the pyplot object of the Matplotlib module in your code using the following statement:
1
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
You can learn about the Matplotlib module in our Matplotlib Tutorial.
Import Seaborn
Import the Seaborn module in your code using the following statement:
1
import seaborn as sns
Plotting a Distplot
Example
123456
import matplotlib.pyplot as pltimport seaborn as sns sns.distplot([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]) plt.show()
Plotting a Distplot Without the Histogram
Example
123456
import matplotlib.pyplot as pltimport seaborn as sns sns.distplot([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5], hist=False) plt.show()
Note: We will be using: sns.distplot(arr, hist=False) to visualize random distributions in this tutorial.
