Get data points from Seaborn distplot
I use
sns.distplot
to plot a univariate distribution of observations. Still, I need not only the chart, but also the data points. How do I get the data points from matplotlib Axes (returned by distplot)?
You can use the matplotlib.patches API. For instance, to get the first line:
sns.distplot(x).get_lines()[0].get_data()
This returns two numpy arrays containing the x and y values for the line.
For the bars, information is stored in:
sns.distplot(x).patches
You can access the bar's height via the function patches.get_height()
:
[h.get_height() for h in sns.distplot(x).patches]
If you want to obtain the kde values of an histogram you can use scikit-learn KernelDensity
function instead:
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
from sklearn.neighbors import KernelDensity
ds=pd.read_csv('data-to-plot.csv')
X=ds.loc[:,'Money-Spent'].values[:, np.newaxis]
kde = KernelDensity(kernel='gaussian', bandwidth=0.75).fit(X) #you can supply a bandwidth
#parameter.
x=np.linspace(0,5,100)[:, np.newaxis]
log_density_values=kde.score_samples(x)
density=np.exp(log_density)
