Since it’s not always easy to decide how to best tell the story behind your data, we’ve broken the chart types into three broad categories to help with this.
- Trends - A trend is defined as a pattern of change.
sns.lineplot
- Line charts are best to show trends over a period of time, and multiple lines can be used to show trends in more than one group.
- Relationship - There are many different chart types that you can use to understand relationships between variables in your data.
sns.barplot
- Bar charts are useful for comparing quantities corresponding to different groups.sns.heatmap
- Heatmaps can be used to find color-coded patterns in tables of numbers.sns.scatterplot
- Scatter plots show the relationship between two continuous variables; if color-coded, we can also show the relationship with a third categorical variable.sns.regplot
- Including a regression line in the scatter plot makes it easier to see any linear relationship between two variables.sns.lmplot
- This command is useful for drawing multiple regression lines, if the scatter plot contains multiple, color-coded groups.sns.swarmplot
- Categorical scatter plots show the relationship between a continuous variable and a categorical variable.
- Distribution - We visualize distributions to show the possible values that we can expect to see in a variable, along with how likely they are.
sns.distplot
- Histograms show the distribution of a single numerical variable.sns.kdeplot
- KDE plots (or 2D KDE plots) show an estimated, smooth distribution of a single numerical variable (or two numerical variables).sns.jointplot
- This command is useful for simultaneously displaying a 2D KDE plot with the corresponding KDE plots for each individual variable.
