Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) is a critical step in any data science project. It involves understanding the data you're working with, discovering patterns, identifying anomalies, testing hypotheses, and checking assumptions using statistical summaries and graphical representations. Here's a bit more detail: 1. **Understanding the Data**: Start by checking what each column represents, the types of values (categorical, numerical, binary, etc.), and get a general sense of the data structure. 2. **Summary Statistics**: Pandas provides a `describe()` function that gives a useful summary of the numerical columns. It shows the mean, standard deviation, min, max, and quartiles. For non-numeric data, you can use the `value_counts()` method to see the distribution of categories. 3. **Visualizing the Data**: Graphical representations can help you understand the data better. Histograms and box plots are useful for visualizing distributions, scatter plots can show relationships between va
