📊 Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) EDA = Understanding your data before modeling it.
Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) is the crucial first step in any data analysis or machine learning workflow. It involves summarizing, visualizing, and understanding the structure and relationships in your data before moving to modeling or deeper analysis.
🚀 Steps Involved in EDA 1️⃣ Database Exploration Understand the structure of the database
Identify tables, relationships, keys, and constraints
2️⃣ Dimensions Exploration Analyze categorical fields
Understand unique values, frequency distribution, and cardinality
3️⃣ Date Exploration Explore date/time columns
Analyze trends, seasonality, and time-based patterns
4️⃣ Measures Exploration Explore numeric fields
Analyze distributions, outliers, and statistical summaries
5️⃣ Magnitude Analysis Understand the scale and magnitude of measures
Identify high/low values, percentiles, and variability
6️⃣ Ranking Analysis Rank data based on key measures
Identify top-N and bottom-N entities (e.g., top customers, highest sales)
