What is a violin plot and how to make a Seaborn violinplot in Python

This seaborn violinplot video covers the basics of how to interpret and build a violin plot in Python seaborn. I begin by sharing a "recipe" for building a violinplot. Then I provide a head-to-head match up of the boxplot vs violinplot. I also walk through a coding demonstration on the basics of the violin plot as well as several styling options.

Hi kimberly, Thanks for this wonderful tutorial. At 7:36, when you say " violin plot is actually doing is first splitting our data into four and six cylinders and then scaling by count", I do not fully understand what is happening here. It would be helpful if someone explains this.

Thanks for this video. I am confused about how to read the violin plot. Are there some cases where boxplots are better than Violinplots?

[skillbits]

Great visualisation, it helps to understand :) I have also just started tutorials but on ML in Python, yours are already very professional, looking forward what's next.

please make more videos, with different visual libraries !

Hi Kimberly, this is really interesting and clear comparison between box and violin plots. I got a question about the whiskers of violin plots. Does it also show the minimum and maximum of the samples excluding the outliers as the box plot did? Another question is the upper and lower bound values of the violin plots, do they represent the minimum and maximum values of the samples in including the outliers? Thanks

Good it's helps us to learn easily.., ...thanks for the vedieos

[aswanthj]

good video
good explanation
please create more videos :)

[Himanshu-edmf]

I see, left and right whiskers in violin plot are not of same length. but in box plot, they are of same length. how?

[tawkirahmed]

It wil be better if u use CSV file data to show those graph.
