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 lines to scatter charts


So far, all the recipes in this chapter have only created one type of chart. Incanter also lets us combine chart types. This allows us to layer on extra information and create a more useful, compelling chart. In fact, showing the interaction between the raw data and the output of a machine-learning algorithm is a common use for overlaying lines onto scatter plots.

In this recipe, we'll take the chart from the Creating scatter plots with Incanter recipe and add a line from a linear regression.

Getting ready

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

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

(require '[incanter.core :as i]
         '[incanter.charts :as c]
         '[incanter.io :as iio]
         '[incanter.stats :as s])

We'll start with the chart we made in the Creating scatter plots with Incanter recipe. We'll keep it assigned to the iris-petal-scatter variable...
