Seaborn
Visualize Distributions With Seaborn
Seaborn is a library that uses Matplotlib underneath to plot graphs. It will be used to visualize random distributions.
Install Seaborn.
If you have Python and PIP already installed on a system, install it using this command:
C:\Users\Your Name>pip install seaborn
If you use Jupyter, install Seaborn using this command:
C:\Users\Your Name>!pip install seaborn
Distplots
Distplot stands for distribution plot, it takes as input an array and plots a curve corresponding to the distribution of points in the array.
Import Matplotlib
import the pyplot object of the Matplotlib module in your code using following code
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
Import Seaborn
import the seaborn in your code using following code
import seaborn as sns
Plotting a Displot
Example
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
sns.distplot([0, 1,
2, 3, 4, 5])
plt.show()

Plotting a Distplot Without the Histogram
Example
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
sns.distplot([0, 1,
2, 3, 4, 5], hist=False)
plt.show()

Note: We will be using: sns.distplot(arr, hist=False)
to visualize random distributions in this tutorial.
