Pandas Datetime: Create a plot of distribution of UFO observation time

Pandas Datetime: Exercise-20 with Solution

Write a Pandas program to create a plot of distribution of UFO (unidentified flying object) observation time.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
df = pd.read_csv(r'ufo.csv')
df['duration_sec'] = (df['length_of_encounter_seconds'].astype(float))/60
s = df["duration_sec"].quantile(0.95)
temp = df['duration_sec']
temp = temp.sort_values()
temp = temp[temp < s]
plt.figure(figsize=(10, 8))
sns.distplot(temp)
plt.xlabel('Duration(min)', fontsize=20)
plt.ylabel("Frequency", fontsize=15)
plt.xticks(fontsize=12)
plt.title("-Distribution of UFO obervation time-", fontsize=20)
plt.show()

Sample Output:

C:\Users\User\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\scipy\stats\stats.py:1713: FutureWarning: Using a non-tuple sequence for multidimensional indexing is deprecated; use `arr[tuple(seq)]` instead of `arr[seq]`. In the future this will be interpreted as an array index, `arr[np.array(seq)]`, which will result either in an error or a different result.
  return np.add.reduce(sorted[indexer] * weights, axis=axis) / sumval

Python: Tips of the Day

Find current directory and file's directory:

To get the full path to the directory a Python file is contained in, write this in that file:

import os 
dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))

(Note that the incantation above won't work if you've already used os.chdir() to change your current working directory, since the value of the __file__ constant is relative to the current working directory and is not changed by an os.chdir() call.)

To get the current working directory use

import os
cwd = os.getcwd()

Documentation references for the modules, constants and functions used above:

  • The os and os.path modules.
  • The __file__ constant
  • os.path.realpath(path) (returns "the canonical path of the specified filename, eliminating any symbolic links encountered in the path")
  • os.path.dirname(path) (returns "the directory name of pathname path")
  • os.getcwd() (returns "a string representing the current working directory")
  • os.chdir(path) ("change the current working directory to path")
