Exploratory Data Analysis

 


In this module on exploratory data analysis (EDA) using Python, you will learn various techniques to analyze and understand your data set. Here's an overview of what you'll cover:

  1. Descriptive Statistics:

    • Descriptive statistics provide a summary of the main characteristics of the data set, such as mean, median, mode, range, variance, and standard deviation.
    • These statistics help you understand the distribution, central tendency, and variability of the data.

  2. GroupBy Operations:

    • GroupBy operations involve splitting the data into groups based on some criteria, applying a function to each group, and combining the results.
    • This technique helps in transforming and aggregating the data to gain insights into different subsets of the data.

  3. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA):

    • ANOVA is a statistical method used to analyze the variation in a set of observations by dividing it into distinct components.
    • It helps in comparing means across different groups to determine if there are statistically significant differences.

  4. Correlation Analysis:

    • Correlation analysis examines the relationship between different variables in the data set.
    • Pearson correlation coefficient is commonly used to measure the linear relationship between two continuous variables.
    • Correlation heatmaps visualize the correlation matrix to identify patterns and relationships between multiple variables.

By applying these EDA techniques, you will be able to:

  • Identify the main characteristics and distributions of your data.
  • Understand the relationships and dependencies between different variables.
  • Determine which variables have the most impact on the target variable, such as car price in this case.
  • Gain insights that can guide further analysis and decision-making processes.

Overall, EDA plays a crucial role in exploratory data analysis as it helps you uncover patterns, trends, and relationships in your data set, leading to better understanding and informed decision-making.

Common cybersecurity terminology

  As you’ve learned, cybersecurity (also known as security) is the practice of ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information by protecting networks, devices, people, and data from unauthorized access or criminal exploitation. In this reading, you’ll be introduced to some key terms used in the cybersecurity profession. Then, you’ll be provided with a resource that’s useful for staying informed about changes to cybersecurity terminology. Key cybersecurity terms and concepts There are many terms and concepts that are important for security professionals to know. Being familiar with them can help you better identify the threats that can harm organizations and people alike. A security analyst or cybersecurity analyst focuses on monitoring networks for breaches. They also help develop strategies to secure an organization and research information technology (IT) security trends to remain alert and informed about potential threats. Additionally, an analyst work...

Introduction to security frameworks and controls

  Imagine you're working as a security analyst and receive  multiple alerts about suspicious activity on the network.  You realize that you'll need to implement  additional security measures to keep  these alerts from becoming  serious incidents. But where do you start? Play video starting at ::17 and follow transcript 0:17 As an analyst, you'll start by identifying  your organization's critical assets and risks.  Then you'll implement  the necessary frameworks and controls. Play video starting at ::27 and follow transcript 0:27 In this video, we'll discuss how security professionals  use frameworks to continuously identify and manage risk.  We'll also cover how to use  security controls to manage or reduce specific risks. Play video starting at ::40 and follow transcript 0:40 Security frameworks are guidelines  used for building plans  to help mitigate risks and threats to data and privacy.  Security frameworks ...
