Summarize and Explore the Data

R package that automates most of exploratory analyses tasks in modeling

1. Introduction

The document introduces the SmartEDA package and how it can help you to build exploratory data analysis.

SmartEDA includes multiple custom functions to perform initial exploratory analysis on any input data describing the structure and the relationships present in the data. The generated output can be obtained in both summary and graphical form. The graphical form or charts can also be exported as reports.

सर्वस्य लोचनं शास्त्रं
Science is the only eye

अनेकसंशयोच्छेदि, परोक्षार्थस्य दर्शक|
सर्वस्य लोचनं शास्त्रं, यस्य नास्त्यन्ध एव सः ||

It blasts many doubts, foresees what is not obvious |
Science is the eye of everyone, one who hasnt got it, is like a blind ||

SmartEDA package helps you to construct a good base of data understanding. The capabilities and functionalities are listed below

  1. SmartEDA package will make you capable of applying different types of EDA without having to

    • remember the different R package names
    • write lengthy R scripts
    • manual effort to prepare the EDA report

  2. No need to categorize the variables into Character, Numeric, Factor etc. SmartEDA functions automatically categorize all the features into the right data type (Character, Numeric, Factor etc.) based on the input data.

  3. ggplot2 functions are used for graphical presentation of data

  4. Rmarkdown and knitr functions were used for build HTML reports

To summarize, SmartEDA package helps in getting the complete exploratory data analysis just by running the function instead of writing lengthy r code.

Journal of Open Source Software Article

An article describing SmartEDA package for exploratory data analysis approach has been published in arxiv and Journal of Open Source Software JOSS. Please cite the paper if you use SmartEDA in your work!

2. Data

In this vignette, we will be using a simulated data set containing sales of child car seats at 400 different stores.

Data Source ISLR package.

Install the package “ISLR” to get the example data set.

Page    : output pattern. if Page=c(3,2), It will generate 6 plots with 3 rows and 2 columns
sample  : random number of plots

Carseats data from ISLR package:

options(width = 150)
CData = ISLR::Carseats
qqp <- ExpOutQQ(CData,nlim=10,fname=NULL,Page=c(2,2),sample=4)
qqp[[1]]

5. Parallel Co-ordinate plots

Function definition:

ExpParcoord (data,Group=NULL,Stsize=NULL,Nvar=NULL,Cvar=NULL,scale=NULL)
data    : Input dataframe or data.table
Group   : stratification variables
Stsize  : vector of startum sample sizes
Nvar    : vector of numerice variables, default it will consider all the numeric variable from data
Cvar    : vector of categorical variables, default it will consider all the categorical variable
scale   : scale the variables in the parallel coordinate plot[Default normailized with minimum of the variable is zero and maximum of the variable is one]

5.1 Defualt ExpParcoord funciton

ExpParcoord(CData,Group=NULL,Stsize=NULL,Nvar=c("Price","Income","Advertising","Population","Age","Education"))

5.2 With Stratified rows and selected columns only

ExpParcoord(CData,Group="ShelveLoc",Stsize=c(10,15,20),Nvar=c("Price","Income"),Cvar=c("Urban","US"))

5.3 Without stratification

ExpParcoord(CData,Group="ShelveLoc",Nvar=c("Price","Income"),Cvar=c("Urban","US"),scale=NULL)

5.4 Scale change

std: univariately, subtract mean and divide by standard deviation

ExpParcoord(CData,Group="US",Nvar=c("Price","Income"),Cvar=c("ShelveLoc"),scale="std")

5.5 Selected numeric variables

ExpParcoord(CData,Group="ShelveLoc",Stsize=c(10,15,20),Nvar=c("Price","Income","Advertising","Population","Age","Education"))

5.6 Selected categorical variables

ExpParcoord(CData,Group="US",Stsize=c(15,50),Cvar=c("ShelveLoc","Urban"))

6. Customized Summary Statistics

Used ‘data.table’ package functions

Function definition:

ExpCustomStat(data,Cvar=NULL,Nvar=NULL,stat=NULL,gpby=TRUE,filt=NULL,dcast=FALSE)

7. Univariate outlier analysis

In statistics, an outlier is a data point that differs significantly from other observations. An outlier may be due to variability in the measurement or it may indicate experimental error; the latter are sometimes excluded from the data set.An outlier can cause serious problems in statistical analyses.

Function ExpOutliers can run univariate outlier analysis based on boxplot or SD method. The function returns the summary of oultlier for selected numeric features and adding new features if there are any outlers

Identifying outliers: There are several methods we can use to identify outliers. In ExpOutliers used two methods (1) Boxplot and (2) Standard Deviation

7.1 Identifying outliers using Boxplot method

ExpOutliers(Carseats, varlist = c("Sales","CompPrice","Income"), method = "boxplot",  treatment = "mean", capping = c(0.1, 0.9))

Summary

Category Sales CompPrice Income
Lower cap : 0.1 4.119 106 30
Upper cap : 0.9 11.3 145 107
Lower bound -0.5 85 -29.62
Upper bound 15.21 165 163.38
Num of outliers 2 2 0
Lower outlier case 43
Upper outlier case 317,377 311
Mean before 7.5 124.97 68.66
Mean after 7.45 124.97 68.66
Median before 7.49 125 69
Median after 7.47 125 69
