How to plot frequency count of pandas column?












3














I have a pandas dataframe like this:



    Year   Winner
4 1954 Germany
9 1974 Germany
13 1990 Germany
19 2014 Germany
5 1958 Brazil
6 1962 Brazil
8 1970 Brazil
14 1994 Brazil
16 2002 Brazil


How to plot the frequency count of column Winner, so that y axis has frequency and x-axis has name of country?



I tried:



import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

df.groupby('Winner').size().plot.hist()
df1['Winner'].value_counts().plot.hist()

          You are close, need Series.plot.bar because value_counts already count frequency:



          df1['Winner'].value_counts().plot.bar()


          g



          Also working:



          df1.groupby('Winner').size().plot.bar()


          Difference between solutions is output of value_counts will be in descending order so that the first element is the most frequently-occurring element.

          In addition to @jezrael's answer, you can also do:



          df1['Winner'].value_counts().plot(kind='bar')


          Other one from @jezrael could be:



          df1.groupby('Winner').size().plot(kind='bar')
