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

Plotting a 2D sine graph


In this recipe, we will use a free Java graph library named GRAphing Library (GRAL) to plot a 2D sine graph. On many occasions, sine graphs can be particularly useful for data scientists since they are a trigonometric graph that can be used to model fluctuations in data (for example, using temperature data to create a model that predicts the times during the year that a location would be pleasant to visit).

Getting ready

  1. To use GRAL in your project, you need to download the GRAL JAR file and include it in your project as an external Java library. To download the Jar file, go to http://trac.erichseifert.de/gral/wiki/Download  and download GRAL JAR file version 0.10 from the legacy version section. The file that you are going to download is a zip file named gral-core-0.10.zip:

    Once you download the file, extract the files and you will see the files and folders in the distributions. Among them, you will find a folder named lib, which is the folder of interest.
