Overlaying Histograms with Kernel Density Estimation (KDE)

This code imports Seaborn and Matplotlib, loads Titanic dataset, extracts ages of passengers in the first and third class, plots overlapping histograms with kernel density estimation for age distribution in each class, adds labels for age and density, and displays the plot with a legend.

Python
import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Sample data
data1 = sns.load_dataset('titanic').query("class == 'First'")['age'].dropna()
data2 = sns.load_dataset('titanic').query("class == 'Third'")['age'].dropna()

# Plotting overlapping histograms with KDE
sns.histplot(data=data1, color='blue', alpha=0.5, kde=True, label='First Class')
sns.histplot(data=data2, color='orange', alpha=0.5, kde=True, label='Third Class')

# Adding labels and legend
plt.xlabel('Age')
plt.ylabel('Density')
plt.legend()

plt.show()

Output:

Plot Multiple Histograms On Same Plot With Seaborn

Histograms are a powerful tool for visualizing the distribution of data in a dataset. When working with multiple datasets or variables, it can be insightful to compare their distributions side by side. Seaborn, a python data visualization package offers powerful tools for making visually appealing maps and efficient way to plot multiple histograms on the same plot.

In this article, we will explore and implement multiple histograms on same plot.

Understanding Overlaying Histograms using Seaborn

Plotting multiple Histograms On Same Plot is built by splitting the data into periods, or “bins,” and then showing the number or density of readings within each bin as bars. Unlike different histograms, where each group has its own plot, multiple histograms show multiple distributions within the same plot, making it easier to compare them clearly....

Comparing Two Distributions : A Practical Example

This code imports Seaborn and Matplotlib, loads iris dataset, extracts petal lengths for setosa and versicolor species, plots overlapping histograms for these species’ petal lengths, and adds labels and legend to the plot before displaying it....
