Abstract


To uncover the insight behind the data, a comprehensive analysis is needed. Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) is one of practical data analysis that will guide how to reveal any hidden information in the data. By doing EDA, any pattern and issue in the data will be seen and eventually will lead the hypothesis. To do EDA, besides any basic statistic is needed, a good tool to simplify the analysis is also a consideration. Python and R as a famous programming language in the data science world provide methods to implement that analysis. This paper will show how to perform EDA by utilizing Python and R programming.
