Java Data Science Cookbook

Overview of this book

If you are looking to build data science models that are good for production, Java has come to the rescue. With the aid of strong libraries such as MLlib, Weka, DL4j, and more, you can efficiently perform all the data science tasks you need to. This unique book provides modern recipes to solve your common and not-so-common data science-related problems. We start with recipes to help you obtain, clean, index, and search data. Then you will learn a variety of techniques to analyze, learn from, and retrieve information from data. You will also understand how to handle big data, learn deeply from data, and visualize data. Finally, you will work through unique recipes that solve your problems while taking data science to production, writing distributed data science applications, and much more - things that will come in handy at work.

Preface

Cross-validating a machine learning model


In this recipe, we will be creating four methods that will be doing four different things--one method will load an ARFF file (assuming that the ARFF file is already created and saved somewhere); the second method will read the data in the ARFF file and generate a machine-learning model (we have arbitrarily chosen Naive Bayes model); the third method will be saving the model by using serialization, and the last method will be evaluating the model on the ARFF file using a 10-fold cross-validation.

How to do it...

  1. Create two instance variables. The first will contain all the instances of the iris dataset. The iris ARFF dataset can be found in the data folder of your installed Weka directory. The second variable will be a NaiveBayes classifier:

            Instances iris = null; 
            NaiveBayes nb;  
    
  2. Our first method will be loading the iris ARFF file using the DataSource class, reading the content with the getDataSet() method of the class, and...
