is often a good way to start looking at continuous data to get a sense of the distribution. Similar methods include kde
(also available as density
).
from bokeh.sampledata.autompg import autompg_clean
autompg_clean.sample(n=5)
mpg | cyl | displ | hp | weight | accel | yr | origin | name | mfr | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
263 | 17.5 | 8 | 318.0 | 140 | 4080 | 13.7 | 78 | North America | dodge magnum xe | dodge |
366 | 29.0 | 4 | 135.0 | 84 | 2525 | 16.0 | 82 | North America | dodge aries se | dodge |
40 | 14.0 | 8 | 318.0 | 150 | 4096 | 13.0 | 71 | North America | plymouth fury iii | plymouth |
309 | 32.1 | 4 | 98.0 | 70 | 2120 | 15.5 | 80 | North America | chevrolet chevette | chevrolet |
100 | 23.0 | 6 | 198.0 | 95 | 2904 | 16.0 | 73 | North America | plymouth duster | plymouth |
autompg_clean.hvplot.hist("weight")
When using by
the plots are overlaid by default. To create subplots instead, use subplots=True
.
autompg_clean.hvplot.hist("weight", by="origin", subplots=True, width=250)
You can also plot histograms of datetime data
import pandas as pd
from bokeh.sampledata.commits import data as commits
commits = commits.reset_index().sort_values("datetime")
commits.head(3)
datetime | day | time | |
---|---|---|---|
4915 | 2012-12-29 11:57:50-06:00 | Sat | 11:57:50 |
4914 | 2013-01-02 17:46:43-06:00 | Wed | 17:46:43 |
4913 | 2013-01-03 16:28:49-06:00 | Thu | 16:28:49 |
commits.hvplot.hist(
"datetime",
bin_range=(pd.Timestamp('2012-11-30'), pd.Timestamp('2017-05-01')),
bins=54,
)
If you want to plot the distribution of a categorical column you can calculate the distribution using Pandas’ method value_counts
and plot it using .hvplot.bar
.
autompg_clean["mfr"].value_counts().hvplot.bar(invert=True, flip_yaxis=True, height=500)
