The Gemika's Magical Guide to Sorting Hogwarts Students using the Decision Tree Algorithm (Part #4)

4. Unveiling the Mysteries: Data Exploration (EDA) πŸ”

Welcome back to the enchanting halls of Hogwarts, dear sorcerers! As we continue our magical journey into the world of data science, it's time to unveil the mysteries hidden within our dataset. In this chapter, we'll embark on a series of explorations that will reveal the secrets of our enchanted scroll (or dataset). Think of this as delving into the depths of the Room of Requirement, where each discovery leads us to greater understanding. βœ¨πŸ§™β€β™‚οΈ

4.1 Inspecting First Few Rows

Our first step is to take a glimpse at the first few rows of our dataset, much like opening the Marauder's Map for the first time. This will give us an initial understanding of the structure and contents of our data. And dear sorcerers, if you wished to follow along on this magical journey, make a fork of the dataset from my Github account and download the dataset to your local machine from this magical address.



# Inspecting the first few rows of the dataset
dataset_path = 'data/hogwarts-students.csv'  # Path to our dataset
hogwarts_df = pd.read_csv(dataset_path)
print(hogwarts_df.head())

As we peer into these rows, we see a variety of features such as student names, house affiliations, and various traits. Each row is a story, each column a chapter. We might notice, for example, that Harry, Hermione, and Ron are all in Gryffindor, characterized by their bravery and determination. This initial inspection helps us understand the scope and scale of our dataset.


4.2 Checking Dataset Features

Next, we delve deeper into the columns of our DataFrame, much like how Hermione would meticulously study her textbooks. Each column represents a different feature of our students, from their house to their magical abilities.



# Displaying the columns of the dataset
print(hogwarts_df.columns)

As the magic spell finished its wizardry, the previous magical spell reveal the following hidden artifacts.



Index(['name', 'gender', 'age', 'origin', 'specialty', 'house', 'blood_status',
       'pet', 'wand_type', 'patronus', 'quidditch_position', 'boggart',
       'favorite_class', 'house_points'],
      dtype='object')

# Displaying the how many rows and columns in the dataset
print(hogwarts_df.shape)


Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

And you're guessing correctly sorcerers, the dataset consists of 52 rows and 14 columns.✨🌟



(52, 14)


Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Let us explore these features, each as significant as a spell component in a well-crafted incantation:

  • Name: The given name of our witch or wizard, from the illustrious Harry Potter to the enigmatic Luna Lovegood. 🌟
  • Gender: Whether they are a young wizard or witch, reflecting the diversity of Hogwarts.
  • Age: Their age at the time of sorting, for even the youngest students have their place in the castle's storied history.
  • Origin: The place they hail from, be it the rolling hills of England, the rugged highlands of Scotland, or the enchanting isles of Ireland. 🏞️
  • Specialty: Their area of magical expertise, such as Potions, Transfiguration, or Defense Against the Dark Arts, much like Professor Snape’s mastery of the subtle art of potion-making.
  • House: The revered house to which they belong β€” Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin β€” each with its own rich traditions and values.
  • Blood Status: Whether they are Pure-blood, Half-blood, or Muggle-born, a detail that, while significant in the wizarding world, never diminishes their magical potential.
  • Pet: Their chosen magical companion, be it an owl, a cat, or a toad, reminiscent of Harry's loyal Hedwig or Hermione's clever Crookshanks. πŸ¦‰πŸˆ
  • Wand Type: The wood and core of their wand, the very tool of their magical prowess.
  • Patronus: The form their Patronus takes, a magical manifestation of their innermost self, like Harry's proud stag or Snape's ethereal doe. 🦌
  • Quidditch Position: Their role in the beloved wizarding sport, whether Seeker, Chaser, Beater, or Keeper, or perhaps no position at all.
  • Boggart: The form their Boggart takes, a glimpse into their deepest fears.
  • Favorite Class: The subject they excel in or enjoy the most, akin to Hermione's love for Arithmancy or Neville's talent in Herbology.
  • House Points: Points they have contributed to their house, reflecting their achievements and misadventures alike.

With this compendium of magical features, we craft our dataset with the precision of a spell-wright composing a new enchantment. Each character's details are meticulously recorded, ensuring that our data is as rich and detailed as the tapestry of Hogwarts itself.πŸ§™β€β™‚οΈπŸ°

By examining these features, we gain a deeper understanding of the dataset's richness, much like a wizard learning about the different properties of magical creatures. As we assemble this treasure trove of information, we prepare ourselves for the next step in our magical journeyβ€”transforming these attributes into the foundations upon which our Decision Tree algorithm will cast its spell. Let us proceed, dear sorcerers, for the magic is only just beginning.βœ¨πŸ§™β€β™‚οΈ


4.3 Inspecting Data Types

With a clear understanding of our features, we now turn our attention to the data types. This step is akin to examining the ingredients of a potion, ensuring each component is appropriate for its intended use.



# Checking the data types of each column
print(hogwarts_df.dtypes)


Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

And in return, the previous magic spell would yield us, dear sorcerers the following incarnations.



name                   object
gender                 object
age                     int64
origin                 object
specialty              object
house                  object
blood_status           object
pet                    object
wand_type              object
patronus               object
quidditch_position     object
boggart                object
favorite_class         object
house_points          float64
dtype: object



Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Wow, would you look at that, we've just discovered a lot of data types inconsistencies within the dataset. The data types had told us whether each column contains numerical values, text, or other forms of data. For instance, Age should be a numerical type, while Name and House are text (or string) types. Ensuring these types are correct is crucial for our subsequent analyses and visualizations.


4.4 Incorrect Data Type

Occasionally, we may find discrepancies in the data types, much like finding a rogue ingredient in a potion. Correcting these mismatches is essential to ensure the accuracy of our spells (or analyses). So let's just spin our wands (should I say Jupyter Lab), and try to fix them this time.



# Converting data types if necessary
# First, let's check the columns again to identify the correct names
print(hogwarts_df.columns)


Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode


Index(['name', 'gender', 'age', 'origin', 'specialty', 'house', 'blood_status',
       'pet', 'wand_type', 'patronus', 'quidditch_position', 'boggart',
       'favorite_class', 'house_points'],
      dtype='object')


Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Among one of the requirements to perform the magical data sorcery tasks, is that you need to have a clean dataset that is by its naming convention is easy to follow and easy to work with at the same time. Now, let's try to change the data types according to its nature, by means to have an easier dataset to navigate with according to our next enchanted upcoming magical spells.



# Assuming we identified 'age' as the correct column name for age
hogwarts_df['age'] = pd.to_numeric(hogwarts_df['age'], errors='coerce')  # Ensure Age is numeric

# Ensuring 'gender' is categorical
hogwarts_df['gender'] = hogwarts_df['gender'].astype('category')  # Ensure Gender is categorical

# Ensuring 'specialty' is categorical
hogwarts_df['specialty'] = hogwarts_df['specialty'].astype('category')  # Ensure specialty is categorical

# Ensuring 'house' is categorical
hogwarts_df['house'] = hogwarts_df['house'].astype('category')  # Ensure house is categorical

# Ensuring 'blood_status' is categorical
hogwarts_df['blood_status'] = hogwarts_df['blood_status'].astype('category')  # Ensure blood_status is categorical

# Ensuring 'pet' is categorical
hogwarts_df['pet'] = hogwarts_df['pet'].astype('category')  # Ensure pet is categorical

# Ensuring 'wand_type' is categorical
hogwarts_df['wand_type'] = hogwarts_df['wand_type'].astype('category')  # Ensure wand_type is categorical

# Ensuring 'quidditch_position' is categorical
hogwarts_df['quidditch_position'] = hogwarts_df['quidditch_position'].astype('category')  # Ensure quidditch_position is categorical

# Ensuring 'favorite_class' is categorical
hogwarts_df['favorite_class'] = hogwarts_df['favorite_class'].astype('category')  # Ensure favorite_class is categorical


Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

By casting these spells, we ensure that each column is of the appropriate type, ready for further exploration and manipulation. This step is much like Snape meticulously adjusting the ingredients of a complex potion to achieve the perfect brew. Now, once we've done the previous spell, the Jupyter would yield us the following updated results.

Now let's verify the previous spell has done it magical course towards our dataset by invoking the following spell again.



# Verify the data types after conversion
print(hogwarts_df.dtypes)


Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode


name                    object
gender                category
age                      int64
origin                  object
specialty             category
house                 category
blood_status          category
pet                   category

4.5 Spells and Charms to Convert Data Types

In case you dear sorcerers are wondering how many data types pandas is capable of supporting, following are all the list of them and ways to manipulate them in orders.

Data Type Description Example Values Conversion Method
int64 Integer values 1, 2, 3, -5, 0 pd.to_numeric(df['column'])
float64 Floating point numbers 1.0, 2.5, -3.4, 0.0 pd.to_numeric(df['column'])
bool Boolean values True, False df['column'].astype('bool')
object String values 'apple', 'banana', '123' df['column'].astype('str')
datetime64[ns] Date and time values '2024-07-17', '2023-01-01 12:00' pd.to_datetime(df['column'])
timedelta[ns] Differences between datetimes '1 days 00:00:00', '2 days 03:04:05' pd.to_timedelta(df['column'])
category Categorical data 'A', 'B', 'C' df['column'].astype('category')

4.6 Reinvestigate The Data Type in The Dataset

Having ensured the correctness of our data types, it's time to take a more comprehensive look at our dataset. This step is akin to casting a revealing charm over a hidden room, allowing us to see everything at once.



# Displaying a summary of the entire data types
print(hogwarts_df.info())
