Nimble tweak to use specific python version or virtual environment in RStudio

Reticulate made switch between R & Python easy, and doing its best to facilitate both worlds of data science.

Meanwhile, I noticed that most of my followers or students raised the issues of uneasy switch between

different python versions or virtual environments in RStudio while using repl_python().

Here is my nimble tweak, hope, RStudio will come up with a better solution in coming days as in Spyder’s (pointing to interpreter).

As, most of us use, Rprofile.site which will be available in ~/R/etc folder for setting R environment variables,

exploit the same for setting needed python version or virtual environment:

# python version

Sys.setenv(RETICULATE_PYTHON = "~/python37/python.exe")

# python virtual environment

Sys.setenv(RETICULATE_PYTHON = "~/envs/stan_env/python.exe")

Currently, commenting and un-commenting needed version in Rprofile.site, and restarting session

seems to be not a bad nimble tweak for bringing up needed python environment in RStudio.

Now "fread" from data.table can read "gz" and "bz2" files directly

Dear R Programmers,

Those who all use data.table for your data readings, good news is that now, fread supports direct reading of zip formats like"gz" and "bz2".

To all my followers and readers, as mentioned earlier several times, good way for saving both space and reading fast is achievable by first saving 
raw files into "gz" format and their after reading the same into R and convert them into to fst format for all further reads/loading.

Happy R Programming!

Data Summary in One Go

Data Description R Code

This function and package is long pending for publishing from my side, this time expecting soon to put as package for quick usage, before that thought releasing it for feedback.

Below function provides R code for getting data description details like missing, distinct, min, max, mean, median, mode in one go for ready to use and for quick interpretation purposes.

This provide regular data summary stats needed (as shown in below image) in *.csv format which can be copied an pasted to excel as per your needs.

To use it follow the syntax:

source("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pradeepmav/data_description_function/master/data_description.R")
data_description("datasetname")

 
Happy R Programming!

Why Record Linkage needs a scalable computing power?

Though, “Record Linkage” is a popular word among statisticians, and epidemiologists - “the problem of matching/joining records from one data source to another which describe the same entity”; has a long historical attention from the time since data collection gained (1960s) and continues to gain attention as new methods of collection, formats and stacks of data being added to the existing. The other popular terms for the same are deduplication, data matching, entity/name resolution, record matching, etc. Please, refer to the following paper https://homes.cs.washington.edu/~pedrod/papers/icdm06.pdf, for one of the good works in this field. Also, one can look at the below google trends graph for the attention to this filed from 2014 to the present.

The purpose of this blog is to bring forth, why record linkage needs a scalable computing power, for which I present my observations with an simple example as show below:

Python package maintenance GUI’s like R ones

It is quite often I observed people approaching me to help out in understanding whether Python has good Graphical User Interface (GUI) for package maintenance like R ones:

Base R: update.packages(ask=’graphics’)

RStudio: Tools >>> Check for Package Updates

Answer for it would be; currently few like this one “pips” are still under development, and still I am using “pip-upgrader” for the maintenance.
