pandas中具有很多很强大的图表绘制功能，今天介绍一个简单好用的绘制数据框DataFrame中某一列数据分布直方图的函数——DataFrame.hist()，顺便介绍一个统计分析函数DataFrame.describe()。
下面通过代码进行展示效果，示例代码中的csv文件是谷歌提供的一个包含加利福尼亚州住房数据的文件。
import pandas as pd
california_housing_dataframe = pd.read_csv("https://storage.googleapis.com/mledu-datasets/california_housing_train.csv", sep=",")
print(california_housing_dataframe)
california_housing_dataframe.describe()以上代码首先通过pandas提供的read_csv()函数读取了csv文件，将其保存为数据框DataFrame类型的数据。然后使用了DataFrame.describe()函数展示了一些有用的统计信息，这个函数在分析一个较大的csv文件时，作为初步的分析工具非常有用。统计结果包括了数据量、均值、方差、最大值、最小值等。以上代码的输出如下：
