2025-04-06Mean.There are other parameters, but their analysis is beyond the scope of this tutorial.The code above produces an image like this:You can see three box plots. Each of them corresponds to a single dataset (x, y, or z) and show the following:The mean is the red dashed line.The median is the purple line.The first quartile is the left edge of the blue rectangle.The third quartile is the right edge of the blue rectangle.The interquartile range is the length of the blue rectangle.The range contains everything from left to right.The outliers are the dots to the left and right.A box plot can show so much information in a single figure!HistogramsHistograms are particularly useful when there are a large number of unique values in a dataset. The histogram divides the values from a sorted dataset into intervals, also called bins. Often, all bins are of equal width, though this doesn’t have to be the case. The values of the lower and upper bounds of a bin are called the bin edges.The frequency is a single value that corresponds to each bin. It’s the number of elements of the dataset with the values between the edges of the bin. By convention, all bins but the rightmost one are half-open. They include the values equal to the lower bounds, but exclude the values equal to the upper bounds. The rightmost bin is closed because it includes both bounds. If you divide a dataset with the bin edges 0, 5, 10, and 15, then there are three bins:The first and leftmost bin contains the values greater than or equal to 0 and less than 5.The second bin contains the values greater than or equal to 5 and less than 10.The third and rightmost bin contains the values greater than or equal to 10 and less than or equal to 15.The function np.histogram() is a convenient way to get data for histograms:It takes the array with your data and the number (or edges) of bins and returns two NumPy arrays:hist contains the frequency or the number of items corresponding to each bin.bin_edges contains the edges or bounds of the bin.What histogram() calculates, .hist() can show graphically:The first argument of .hist() is the sequence with your data. The second argument defines the edges of the bins. The third disables the option to create a histogram with cumulative values. The code above produces a figure like this:You can see the bin edges on the horizontal axis and the frequencies on the vertical axis.It’s possible to get the histogram with the cumulative numbers of items if you provide the argument cumulative=True to .hist():This code yields the following figure:It shows the histogram with the cumulative values. The frequency of the

It has methods that can quickly build up database of historical price (see class method: setup_db_for_hist_prices_storage), update new data (see class method: scan_and_input_recent_prices) and retrieve the historical prices and dividend info from database (see class method: retrieve_hist_data_fr_db ).
