Overview of this book

Step-by-step recipes filled with practical code samples and engaging examples demonstrate Haskell in practice, and then the concepts behind the code. This book shows functional developers and analysts how to leverage their existing knowledge of Haskell specifically for high-quality data analysis. A good understanding of data sets and functional programming is assumed.

Implementing a frequency table using Data.List


A frequency map of values is often useful to detect outliers. We can use it to identify frequencies that seem out of the ordinary. In this recipe, we will be counting the number of different colors in a list.

How to do it...

Create a new file, which we will call Main.hs, and perform the following steps:

  1. We will use the group and sort functions from Data.List:

    import Data.List (group, sort)
  2. Define a simple data type for colors:

    data Color = Red | Green | Blue deriving (Show, Ord, Eq)
  3. Create a list of these colors:

    main :: IO ()
    main = do
      let items = [Red, Green, Green, Blue, Red, Green, Green]
  4. Implement the frequency map and print it out:

      let freq = 
         map (\x -> (head x, length x)) . group . sort $ items
      print freq

How it works...

Grouping identical items after sorting the list is the central idea.

See the following step-by-step evaluation in ghci:

Prelude> sort items

[Red,Red,Green,Green,Green,Green,Blue]
Prelude> group it

[[Red,Red...
