🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8 or higher
• pip (Python package manager)

Installation

1. Clone or navigate to the project directory

   cd Data-Analysis-Project

2. Create a virtual environment (recommended)

   python -m venv venv
   # On Windows:
   venv\Scripts\activate
   # On macOS/Linux:
   source venv/bin/activate

3. Install dependencies

   pip install -r requirements.txt

💻 Usage

Option 1: Command-Line Analysis Script

Run the main analysis script to analyze the built-in Iris dataset:

python scripts/data_analysis.py

This will:

• Load the Iris dataset
• Perform data cleaning
• Generate comprehensive statistics
• Create 6 different visualization plots
• Display detailed analysis report

Output files created:

• data/1_distribution_plots.png - Histogram distributions
• data/2_box_plots.png - Outlier detection
• data/3_correlation_heatmap.png - Variable relationships
• data/4_scatter_plots.png - Scatter analysis
• data/5_categorical_analysis.png - Category distributions
• data/6_pair_plot.png - Complete pair matrix

Option 2: Interactive GUI Application

Launch the tkinter GUI for interactive analysis:

python scripts/app.py

Features:

• Data Loading: Load Iris dataset or custom CSV files
• Data Info: View dataset structure and metadata
• Analysis Tools:
  • Data Cleaning Report
  • Statistical Summary
  • Correlation Analysis
• Visualizations:
  • Distribution Plots
  • Box Plots
  • Scatter Plots
  • Correlation Heatmap
  • Pair Plots
• Export: Save analysis results to CSV and text files

Option 3: Generate Sample Data

Create a realistic employee dataset:

python scripts/create_dataset.py

Then load data/sample_data.csv in the GUI application.

📊 Analysis Features

Data Cleaning Operations

• Detect and handle missing values
• Remove duplicate records
• Validate data types
• Generate quality assessment reports

Statistical Analysis

• Descriptive statistics (mean, median, std dev, etc.)
• Skewness and kurtosis analysis
• Quartile analysis (Q1, Q3, IQR)
• Correlation coefficient calculation

Visualizations

Distribution Analysis

• Histograms with KDE curves
• Shows data spread and frequency

Outlier Detection

• Box plots for each feature
• Identifies anomalous values

Correlation Heatmap

• Visual correlation matrix
• Color-coded strength indicators

Scatter Plots

• Variable relationships
• Trend identification

Categorical Analysis

• Bar charts for categorical data
• Frequency distributions

Pair Plot Matrix

• Complete relationship overview
• All variable combinations

📚 Data Analysis Workflow

Load Data → Clean Data → Exploratory Analysis → Visualize → Infer Results

Step 1: Load Data

• Built-in Iris dataset or custom CSV

Step 2: Clean Data

• Check for missing values
• Remove duplicates
• Validate data types

Step 3: Exploratory Analysis

• Calculate descriptive statistics
• Analyze correlations
• Identify distributions

Step 4: Visualize

• Create comprehensive charts
• Identify patterns
• Highlight relationships

Step 5: Draw Conclusions

• Interpret statistical results
• Identify key insights
• Generate recommendations

🔍 Example Analysis: Iris Dataset

The Iris dataset contains 150 samples with 4 features:

• Sepal Length (cm)
• Sepal Width (cm)
• Petal Length (cm)
• Petal Width (cm)
• Species (Setosa, Versicolor, Virginica)

Key Insights from Analysis:

1. Strong Correlations: Petal measurements show high correlation (r > 0.96)
2. Species Differentiation: Clear clustering by species in visualization
3. Feature Importance: Petal length/width are better discriminators
4. Distribution: Most features follow approximately normal distributions
