Clojure Data Analysis Cookbook

By: Eric Rochester

Overview of this book

<p>Data is everywhere and it's increasingly important to be able to gain insights that we can act on. Using Clojure for data analysis and collection, this book will show you how to gain fresh insights and perspectives from your data with an essential collection of practical, structured recipes.<br /><br />"The Clojure Data Analysis Cookbook" presents recipes for every stage of the data analysis process. Whether scraping data off a web page, performing data mining, or creating graphs for the web, this book has something for the task at hand.<br /><br />You'll learn how to acquire data, clean it up, and transform it into useful graphs which can then be analyzed and published to the Internet. Coverage includes advanced topics like processing data concurrently, applying powerful statistical techniques like Bayesian modelling, and even data mining algorithms such as K-means clustering, neural networks, and association rules.</p>

Adding equations to Incanter charts


We've seen how to add a title to the charts and labels on the axes, but so far they've all used only plain, unformatted text. Sometimes we might want to use a formula instead.

Incanter lets you add a formula to a chart using LaTeX's mathematical notation. LaTeX is a professional grade document typesetting system. We won't go into the details of its math notation, but instead we'll just see how to use it with Incanter.

In this recipe, we'll take the chart from the last recipe, Creating function plots with Incanter, and add the function as a subtitle.

Getting ready

We'll use the same dependencies in our project.clj file as we did in the Creating scatter plots with Incanter recipe.

We'll use the following set of imports in our script or REPL:

(require '[incanter.core :as i]
         '[incanter.charts :as c]
         '[incanter.latex :as latex])

We'll also use the chart that we made in the Creating function plots with Incanter recipe. We'll still use the f-plot...
