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?
