Hands-On Data Science with Anaconda

By: Yuxing Yan, James Yan

Overview of this book

Anaconda is an open source platform that brings together the best tools for data science professionals with more than 100 popular packages supporting Python, Scala, and R languages. Hands-On Data Science with Anaconda gets you started with Anaconda and demonstrates how you can use it to perform data science operations in the real world. The book begins with setting up the environment for Anaconda platform in order to make it accessible for tools and frameworks such as Jupyter, pandas, matplotlib, Python, R, Julia, and more. You’ll walk through package manager Conda, through which you can automatically manage all packages including cross-language dependencies, and work across Linux, macOS, and Windows. You’ll explore all the essentials of data science and linear algebra to perform data science tasks using packages such as SciPy, contrastive, scikit-learn, Rattle, and Rmixmod. Once you’re accustomed to all this, you’ll start with operations in data science such as cleaning, sorting, and data classification. You’ll move on to learning how to perform tasks such as clustering, regression, prediction, and building machine learning models and optimizing them. In addition to this, you’ll learn how to visualize data using the packages available for Julia, Python, and R.

Implementation of supervised learning via R

As we have discussed in the previous chapter, the best choice to conduct various tests for supervised learning is applying an R package called Rattle. Here, we show two more examples. Let's first look at the iris dataset:

> library(rattle) 
> rattle() 

The next example is using the diabetes dataset, shown in the screenshot here:

For example, we could choose the logistic model after clicking Model on the menu bar. After clicking on Execute, we would have the following output:

Based on the significant level of p-values, we could see that in addition to the intercept, x1, x2, x3, and x6 are statistically significant.

The next example is from the R package called LogicReg. The code is given here:

library(LogicReg) 
data(logreg.testdat) 
y<-logreg.testdat[,1] 
x<-logreg.testdat[, 2:21] 
n=1000 
n2=25000 
set.seed(123) ...
