Use Python to turn prepared data into visualisations and explore relationships through regression. This course introduces different plot types, including line plots and histograms, and helps you choose and refine visualisations that suit your data.

You will then bring together the skills developed across the Specialisation in notebook activities that move from raw data to a completed visualisation. You will identify situations where linear regression may be appropriate, calculate and interpret a linear regression, and explore the application and interpretation of logistic regression. By the end of the course, you will be able to combine data preparation, visualisation and introductory regression techniques in a practical analysis workflow.

This topic you will learn about using plots to visualise your data. You will learn about the different kinds of plots, their uses, and how to improve how plots look. There are many ways to achieve the same outcome, but in this microcredential we look at one method.While there are many ways to generate plots, in this microcredential we will learn the simplest and most general tool which you can transition to very complex analysis as your skills grow.

Learners take a synthetic cafe-chain dataset from raw files to finished charts and a prediction. They prepare the data, choose a suitable chart type for four business questions, build the charts with the pandas plot method, calculate and interpret a linear regression, draw the regression line over the measured data, and judge which predictions can be trusted. The result is a notebook that answers an owner's questions with evidence.
