Mathematica Data Analysis

By: Sergiy Suchok

Overview of this book

There are many algorithms for data analysis and it’s not always possible to quickly choose the best one for each case. Implementation of the algorithms takes a lot of time. With the help of Mathematica, you can quickly get a result from the use of a particular method, because this system contains almost all the known algorithms for data analysis. If you are not a programmer but you need to analyze data, this book will show you the capabilities of Mathematica when just few strings of intelligible code help to solve huge tasks from statistical issues to pattern recognition. If you're a programmer, with the help of this book, you will learn how to use the library of algorithms implemented in Mathematica in your programs, as well as how to write algorithm testing procedure. With each chapter, you'll be more immersed in the special world of Mathematica. Along with intuitive queries for data processing, we will highlight the nuances and features of this system, allowing you to build effective analysis systems. With the help of this book, you will learn how to optimize the computations by combining your libraries with the Mathematica kernel.

Data classification


If clustering relates to learning without a teacher, then classification, on the contrary, is knowing to what groups a part of the known data belongs, and we want to determine the probability with which the unknown new element might belong to one group or another.

For example, using the Classify function, let's try to explain which are even numbers and which are odd numbers:

We have set several even and several odd numbers, then we have classified them with default parameters using the Classify function, and finally we can see how the missing elements, 5, 0 and 10, will be classified. As you can see from the result, they were successfully and correctly defined:

With the help of the Probabilities parameter, you can determine how likely it is for an element to belong to a particular class.

The ClassifierInformation function provides information about the sample data based on which the classification took place:

In Mathematica, there are also built-in classes from different...
