Steven F. Lott

Steven Lott has been programming since computers were large, expensive, and rare. Working for decades in high tech has given him exposure to a lot of ideas and techniques, some bad, but most are helpful to others. Since the 1990s, Steven has been engaged with Python, crafting an array of indispensable tools and applications. His profound expertise has led him to contribute significantly to Packt Publishing, penning notable titles like "Mastering Object-Oriented," "The Modern Python Cookbook," and "Functional Python Programming." A self-proclaimed technomad, Steven's unconventional lifestyle sees him residing on a boat, often anchored along the vibrant east coast of the US. He tries to live by the words “Don't come home until you have a story.”

In Chapter 15, Project 5.1: Modeling Base Application we created an application to create a summary document with some core statistics. In that application, we looked at univariate statistics to characterize the data distributions. These statistics included measurements of the location, spread, and shape of a distribution. Functions like mean, median, mode, variance, and standard deviation were emphasized as ways to understand location and spread. The characterization of shape via skewness and kurtosis was left as an extra exercise for you.

The base application from the previous chapter needs to be expanded to include the multivariate statistics and diagrams that are essential for clarifying the relationships among variables. There are a vast number of possible functions to describe the relationships among two variables. See https://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/pmd/section8/pmd8.htm for some insight into the number of choices available.
