CST383 - Module 3
What did I learn in the third week of CST383? This week introduced visualizing one continuous variable, which covered three main plot types: density plots, histograms, and box plots. Furthermore, each serves a different purpose in both analyzation and distribution, as density shows the overall shape, histograms show frequency within bins, and box plots summarize data through quartiles and outliers. The concepts that took the most time to understand were bin selection and histograms. Bin selection required me to understand how bin width and start/stop worked to what values I put into the specific range(), which would require either going above it by one or by ten in order to get the exact values. On the other hand, histograms weren't too difficult, as they were just a different way of implementing density plots, but I made a mistake by using plt.hist instead of plot.hist, which led me to spending a long time on a problem that could have been solved in 20 minutes or less. For what I ...
