UNIT V
Absolutely—let’s create detailed lecture notes plus a PowerPoint presentation outline on these
two important topics:
✅ Charts and Graphs in Data Science
✅ Regression
This material will be clear, structured, and easy for students to follow.
📘 LECTURE NOTES
🎯 UNIT: Data Visualization and Regression
✨ Part I: Charts and Graphs
🔹 1. Introduction to Charts and Graphs
Definition:
Charts and graphs are visual representations of data, used to:
Summarize information.
Identify patterns and trends.
Communicate results clearly.
Why Visualization Matters:
Makes complex data accessible.
Supports decision-making.
Helps in storytelling with data.
🔹 2. Pie Chart
Definition:
A circular chart divided into slices, each representing a proportion of the whole.
Usage:
Show percentage or proportional data.
Visualize parts of a whole.
R Example:
slices <- c(10, 20, 30, 40)
labels <- c("A", "B", "C", "D")
pie(slices, labels = labels, main = "Pie Chart Example")
Chart Legend
Definition:
The legend explains what each slice or color represents.
Best Practices:
Use clear labels.
Keep the number of slices limited (ideally <6).
🔹 3. Bar Chart
Definition:
Uses rectangular bars to show quantities across categories.
Usage:
Compare different groups or categories.
R Example:
counts <- table(mtcars$cyl)
barplot(counts, main = "Bar Chart of Cylinders", xlab = "Number of Cylinders", ylab =
"Frequency")
🔹 4. Box Plot
Definition:
A plot showing:
Median
Quartiles
Minimum and maximum
Outliers
Usage:
Understand data distribution.
Detect outliers.
R Example:
boxplot(mpg ~ cyl, data = mtcars, main = "Boxplot of MPG by Cylinders")
🔹 5. Histogram
Definition:
Displays the distribution of continuous numeric data using bins.
Usage:
Understand frequency distribution.
Detect skewness.
R Example:
hist(mtcars$mpg, main = "Histogram of MPG", xlab = "Miles Per Gallon", breaks = 10)
🔹 6. Line Graph
Definition:
Plots points connected by lines, often showing change over time.
Usage:
Time series data.
Trend analysis.
R Example:
plot(pressure, type = "l", main = "Line Graph of Pressure")
Multiple Lines in Line Graph
Example:
plot(cars$speed, cars$dist, type = "l", col = "blue", ylim = c(0, 120), xlab = "Speed",
ylab = "Distance")
lines(cars$speed, cars$dist * 0.8, col = "red")
legend("topleft", legend = c("Original", "80% of Distance"), col = c("blue", "red"),
lty = 1)
🔹 7. Scatter Plot
Definition:
Plots pairs of numeric variables to see relationships or correlations.
Usage:
Examine correlation.
Identify clusters.
R Example:
plot(mtcars$wt, mtcars$mpg, main = "Scatter Plot of Weight vs MPG", xlab = "Weight",
ylab = "MPG")
✨ Part II: Regression
🔹 1. Linear Regression Analysis
Definition:
A statistical method to model the relationship between a dependent variable (Y) and an independent
variable (X).
Equation:
Y=β0+β1X+ϵY = \beta_0 + \beta_1X + \epsilon
β0\beta_0: Intercept
β1\beta_1: Slope
ϵ\epsilon: Error term
Usage:
Predict future values.
Understand relationships.
R Example:
model <- lm(mpg ~ wt, data = mtcars)
summary(model)
Plotting the Regression Line:
plot(mtcars$wt, mtcars$mpg)
abline(model, col = "red")
🔹 2. Multiple Linear Regression
Definition:
Regression using more than one independent variable.
Equation:
Y=β0+β1X1+β2X2+…+βnXn+ϵY = \beta_0 + \beta_1X_1 + \beta_2X_2 + \ldots + \beta_nX_n + \epsilon
Usage:
Model complex relationships.
Adjust for confounding variables.
R Example:
model2 <- lm(mpg ~ wt + hp + qsec, data = mtcars)
summary(model2)
Interpreting Output:
Coefficients show the impact of each variable.
R-squared indicates model fit.
