About Count Plot in Python

A count plot displays the frequency of categories in a categorical variable through bars on a graph. It shows the categories on the x-axis and the count or frequency of each category on the y-axis. Count plots can visualize the distribution of one variable or compare distributions across multiple groups. They provide an intuitive way to understand category frequencies and imbalances in categorical data.

About Count Plot in Python

A count plot is a type of visualization used to display the frequency of different


categories in a categorical variable. It is particularly useful when you want to
understand the distribution or imbalance of categories within a single variable or
compare the distribution across different groups.

In a count plot, the x-axis represents the categories of the variable, and the y-axis
represents the count or frequency of occurrences of each category. Each category
is represented by a bar, and the height of the bar indicates the count.

Here's an example to illustrate the usage of countplot:

import seaborn as sns


import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Plotting a count plot


sns.countplot(x='Churn', data=df)
plt.xlabel('Churn')
plt.ylabel('Count')
plt.title('Churn Count')
plt.show()

In this example, we create a count plot using the Seaborn library


(sns.countplot()) and specify the variable to be plotted on the x-axis
(x='Churn'). The data for the count plot is provided through the data parameter,
which is set to the DataFrame (df) containing the Telco Customer Churn data.

The resulting count plot displays the frequency of each category in the 'Churn'
variable. It allows you to quickly observe and compare the number of churned and
non-churned customers.

Count plots can also be enhanced with additional features, such as coloring bars
based on another variable (using the hue parameter) or stacking bars for multiple
categorical variables (using the hue and stacked parameters).

Count plots provide a concise and intuitive way to visualize the distribution of
categorical variables and are particularly useful for understanding the distribution
of categories in the target variable or comparing category frequencies across
different groups.
