Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: “We used year, month, and quarter to capture the year, month, and quarter, respectively, in new columns of the DataFrame.”

A block of code is set as follows:

date = "2024-05-17"
rng_hr = pd.date_range(date, periods=20, freq="h")
rng_month = pd.date_range(date, periods=20, freq="ME")
df = pd.DataFrame({"date1": rng_hr, "date2": rng_month})

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

pip install yellowbrick
