A quick review of exploratory data analysis (EDA)
As a key part of data inspection,
EDA includes understanding the shape and distribution of the data, scanning for missing values, learning which features are most relevant based on correlation, and familiarizing yourself with the overall contents of the dataset. Gathering this intel helps inform algorithm selection and highlight parts of the data that require cleaning to prepare for further processing.
