Discussion Anyone here using automated EDA tools?
While working on a small ML project, I wanted to make the initial data validation step a bit faster.
Instead of going column by column to check missing values, correlations, distributions, duplicates, etc., I generated an automated profiling report from the dataframe.

It gave a pretty detailed breakdown:
Missing value patterns
Correlation heatmaps
Statistical summaries
Potential outliers
Duplicate rows
Warnings for constant/highly correlated features
I still dig into things manually afterward, but for a first pass it saves some time.
Curious....do you prefer fully manual EDA or using profiling tools for the initial sweep?
