Plot correlation matrix using pandas

Question

I have a data set with huge number of features, so analysing the correlation matrix has become very difficult. I want to plot a correlation matrix which we get using d

Answer 1

Try this function, which also displays variable names for the correlation matrix:

def plot_corr(df,size=10):
    '''Function plots a graphical correlation matrix for each pair of columns in the dataframe.

    Input:
        df: pandas DataFrame
        size: vertical and horizontal size of the plot'''

    corr = df.corr()
    fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(size, size))
    ax.matshow(corr)
    plt.xticks(range(len(corr.columns)), corr.columns);
    plt.yticks(range(len(corr.columns)), corr.columns);
