• Create a panel plot that shows distributions for the dependent variable and scatter plots for all independent variables
• Train a model and identify the observations with the largest residuals
• Create visualizations for scatter plots, histograms, box plots, and hexbin plots
• Create a correlation heatmap to confirm the sign and magnitude of correlation across your features.
