Topic #: 2
[All Databricks Machine Learning Associate Questions]

A data scientist is wanting to explore the Spark DataFrame spark_df. The data scientist wants visual histograms displaying the distribution of numeric features to be included in the exploration.

Which of the following lines of code can the data scientist run to accomplish the task?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: E

To display visual histograms and summaries of the numeric features in a Spark DataFrame, the Databricks utility function dbutils.data.summarize can be used. This function provides a comprehensive summary, including visual histograms.

Correct code:

dbutils.data.summarize(spark_df)

Other options like spark_df.describe() and spark_df.summary() provide textual statistical summaries but do not include visual histograms.

I'm not sure, but I think D) spark_df.summary() could also work for this task.

Haha, I bet the answer is hidden in one of those weird-looking Databricks commands. Definitely not going with option E, that's for sure!

Let's go with spark_df.summary() then.

C'mon, there has to be a one-liner to get this done. I don't want to write a bunch of code just to see some histograms.

I agree with Kara, because describe() provides summary statistics including histograms.

I'm not sure about this dbutils thing. Isn't there a built-in way to do this in Spark? I think option D might be the way to go.

Option A looks good, but I think we need to do more than just describe the DataFrame. We need to see the actual histograms to get a better understanding of the data.
