UFO长啥样？--Python数据分析来告诉你

前言

真心讲，长这么大，还没有见过UFO长啥样，偶然看到美国UFO报告中心有关于UFO时间记录的详细信息，突然想分析下这些记录里都包含了那些有趣的信息，于是有了这次的分析过程。

当然，原始数据包含的记录信息比较多，我只是进了了比较简单的分析，有兴趣的童鞋可以一起来分析，别忘了也给大家分享下您的分析情况哦。

本次分析的主要内容涉及以下几个方面：

• UFO长啥样？
• UFO在哪些地方出现的次数较多？
• UFO在哪些年份出现的次数较多？
• 热力图同时显示哪些州和哪些年UFO出现次数最多

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.style.use('ggplot')

1 数据整理与清洗

df =  pd.read_csv('nuforc_events.csv')

print(df.shape) # 查看数据的结构
print(df.head())

• 由于存在许多包含NaN的数据信息，在进行分析之前，先用dropna()方法去除包含NaN的行数

df_clean = df.dropna()
print(df_clean.shape) # 查看去除Nan后还有多少行
print(df_clean.head())

• 由于1900年以前的数据较少，这里选择1900年以后的数据来进行分析，如下：

df_clean = df_clean[df_clean['Year']>=1900] # 获取1900年以后的数据来进行分析

• 查看导入的每列数据的数据类型，通过运行结果，可以看到，“Event_Date”列并不是日期类型，因此要将之转换。
• 可以采用pd.to_datetime()方法来操作

df_clean.dtypes

Event_Time     object
Event_Date     object
Year          float64
Month         float64
Day           float64
Hour          float64
Minute        float64
City           object
State          object
Shape          object
Duration       object
Summary        object
Event_URL      object
dtype: object

• 用pd.to_datetime()方法来将str格式的日期转换成日期类型

pd.to_datetime(df_clean['Event_Date']) # 1061-12-31年不能显示
# OutOfBoundsDatetime: Out of bounds nanosecond timestamp: 1061-12-31 00:00:00
df_clean.dtypes

Event_Time     object
Event_Date     object
Year          float64
Month         float64
Day           float64
Hour          float64
Minute        float64
City           object

Summary        object

2 UFO长啥样？

• 按UFO出现的形状类型来分析,统计不同类型的UFO出现的次数

s_shape = df_clean.groupby('Shape')['Event_Date'].count()
print(type(s_shape))
s_shape.sort_values(inplace=True)
s_shape

<class 'pandas.core.series.Series'>

剔除特殊情况

• 剔除出现次数少于10次的类型
• 剔除“Unknown”及“Other”类型

s_shape_normal = s_shape[s_shape.values>10]
s_shape_normal

from matplotlib import font_manager as fm
from  matplotlib import cm

labels = s_shape_normal.index
sizes = s_shape_normal.values

explode = (0.1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0.1)  # "explode" ， show the selected slice

fig, axes = plt.subplots(figsize=(10,5),ncols=2) # 设置绘图区域大小
ax1, ax2 = axes.ravel()

colors = cm.rainbow(np.arange(len(sizes))/len(sizes)) # colormaps: Paired, autumn, rainbow, gray,spring,Darks
patches, texts, autotexts = ax1.pie(sizes, labels=labels, autopct='%1.0f%%',explode=explode,
        shadow=False, startangle=150, colors=colors, labeldistance=1.2,pctdistance=1.05, radius=0.95)
# labeldistance: 控制labels显示的位置
# pctdistance: 控制百分比显示的位置
# radius: 控制切片突出的距离

ax1.axis('equal')  

# 重新设置字体大小
proptease = fm.FontProperties()
proptease.set_size('xx-small')
# font size include: ‘xx-small’,x-small’,'small’,'medium’,‘large’,‘x-large’,‘xx-large’ or number, e.g. '12'
plt.setp(autotexts, fontproperties=proptease)
plt.setp(texts, fontproperties=proptease)

ax1.set_title('Shapes', loc='center')

# ax2 只显示图例（legend）
ax2.axis('off')
ax2.legend(patches, labels, loc='center left', fontsize=9)

# plt.tight_layout()
# plt.savefig("pie_shape_ufo.png", bbox_inches='tight')
plt.savefig('ufo_shapes.jpg')
plt.show()

运行结果如下：

3 UFO在美国那些州（state）出现的次数比较多？

按”State”进行分组运算，统计ufo在各个州出现的次数

s_state = df_clean.groupby('State')['Event_Date'].count()
print(type(s_state))
s_state.head()

<class 'pandas.core.series.Series'>

State
AB     438
AK     472
AL     930
AR     791
AZ    3488
Name: Event_Date, dtype: int64

将分析得到的结果进行可视化显示，如下：

fig, ax1 = plt.subplots(figsize=(12,8))

width = 0.5
state = s_state.index
x_pos1 = np.arange(len(state))
y1 = s_state.values
ax1.bar(x_pos1, y1,color='#4F81BD',align='center', width=width, label='Amounts', linewidth=0)
ax1.set_title('Amount of reporting UFO events by State ')
ax1.set_xlim(-1, len(state))
ax1.set_xticks(x_pos1)
ax1.set_xticklabels(state, rotation = -90)
ax1.set_ylabel('Amount')

fig.savefig('ufo_state.jpg')
plt.show()

运行结果如下：

从上图可看出，ufo在加州（CA）出现的总次数明显比其他地方多，难道是ufo偏爱加州人民？

4 UFO在哪些年份出现的次数较多？

按”Year”进行分组运算，统计ufo在各个年份出现的次数

# df_clean['Year'].astype(int)
s_year = df_clean.groupby(df_clean['Year'].astype(int))['Event_Date'].count()
print(type(s_year))
s_year.head()

<class 'pandas.core.series.Series'>

Year
1905    1
1910    2
1920    1
1925    1
1929    1
Name: Event_Date, dtype: int64

将分析得到的结果进行可视化显示，如下：

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(12,20))
# fig, ax1 = plt.subplots(figsize=(12,8))
# fig, axes = plt.subplots(nrows=2, figsize=(12,8))
# fig, axes = plt.subplots(ncols=2, figsize=(18,4))

year = s_year.index
y_pos = np.arange(len(year))
x_value = s_year.values
ax.barh(y_pos, x_value,color='#4F81BD',align='center', label='Amounts', linewidth=0)
ax.set_title('Amount of reporting UFO events by Year ')
ax.set_ylim(-0.5, len(year)-0.5)
ax.set_yticks(y_pos)
ax.set_yticklabels(year, rotation = 0, fontsize=6)
ax.set_xlabel('Amount')

plt.savefig('ufo_year.jpg')
plt.show()

运行结果如下：

从上图可看出，近年来UFO出现的报告次数最多

5 1997年以后的UFO事件分析

• 通过上述分析可看出，1997年以前，报告发现UFO的事件相对较少，下面将针对1997年以后的情况进行分析

df_97 = df_clean[(df_clean['Year']>=1997)]
df_97['Year'] = df_97['Year'].astype(int)
# df_97.astype({'Year':int})
print(df_97.shape)
print(df_97.head())

将数据按”Year”和”State”进行分组运算，如下：

df_amount_year = df_97.groupby(['Year', 'State'])['Event_Date'].size().reset_index()
df_amount_year.columns = ['Year', 'State', 'Amount']
print(df_amount_year.head())

import seaborn as sns

df_pivot = df_amount_year.pivot_table(index='State', columns='Year', values='Amount')

f, ax = plt.subplots(figsize = (10, 15))
cmap = sns.cubehelix_palette(start = 1, rot = 3, gamma=0.8, as_cmap = True)
sns.heatmap(df_pivot, cmap = cmap, linewidths = 0.05, ax = ax)

ax.set_title('Amounts per State and Year since Year 1997')
ax.set_xlabel('Year')
ax.set_ylabel('State')
ax.set_xticklabels(ax.get_xticklabels(), rotation=90)
f.savefig('ufo_per_year_state.jpg')

• 上图中，颜色越深的地方，表示UFO事件报告的次数越多。
