bookReading and Visualizing Data

The first thing to start with is reading the data. When working with time series, the rules of the game do not change - you can still use pandas to get data from csv files.

In the files, let's say you have a Date column that contains dates in str type. For further time series analysis, you must turn the str type into a datetime. This is implemented using the pandas function to_datetime()

Let's take the dataset air_quality_no2_long.csv as an example:

Next, we convert the data type in the Date column from str to datetime:

You can also do this immediately when reading the dataset:

Now we can plot our dataset:

Task

Read and visualize the AirPassengers.csv dataset.

  1. Import matplotlib.pyplot as plt.
  2. Read the csv file and save it within the data variable.
  3. Convert "Month" into datetime type.
  4. Initialize a line plot with the "Month" column of data on the x-axis and "#Passengers" on the y-axis.
  5. Set labels on an axis and display the plot:
  • "Month" on the x-axis;
  • "Passengers" on the y-axis.
