yorkpy takes a hat-trick, bowls out Intl. T20s, BBL and Natwest T20!!!

“Dear, dear! How queer everything is to-day! And yesterday things went on just as usual. I wonder if I’ve been changed in the night? Let me think: was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I’m not the same, the next question is ’Who in the world am I? Ah, that’s the great puzzle!”

             Alice's adventures  in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll

1. Introduction

In this post, yorkpy clean bowls the following T20 formats namely International T20s, Big Bash League and Natwest T20 Blast. I take yorkpy on a spin through these T20 leagues. In the post below,I choose a random set of about 10-12 of the overall 63 functions that yorkpy has, and execute them for each of the different T20 leagues – Intl T20s, BBL and Natwest T20s. yorkpy, is the python avatar of my R package yorkr, see Introducing cricket package yorkr: Part 1- Beaten by sheer pace!

There were a couple of new functions that needed to be added for each of the T20 leagues – Intl T20, BBL and Natwest T20 to take into account the different teams in each of these leagues. Further some bugs were also ironed out in tje latest version of yorkpy. yorkpy uses data from Cricsheet . The match data is in the form of YAML files. yorkpy converts these YAML files to dataframes. YAML files are very detailed and include a ball-by-ball account of the match.

– You can clone/fork the latest code for yorkpy from github yorkpy
– This post has also been published in RPubs at yorkpy takes a hat-trick
– You can download the PDF version of this post at yorkpy takes a hat-trick

The data for IPL, Intl. T20, BBL and Natwest T20 have already been converted into pandas dataframes and saved as CSVs. You can download the converted files from Github at [allYorkpyT20Data])(https://github.com/tvganesh/allYorkpyT20Data)

yorkpy has the following 4 main classes of functions

A.Functions analyzing individual T20 match (Class 1)

This was demonstrated in Pitching yorkpy . short of good length to IPL – Part 1 The functions deal with individual T20 matches. The functions are

  1. convertYaml2PandasDataframeT20()
  2. convertAllYaml2PandasDataframesT20()
  3. teamBattingScorecardMatch()
  4. teamBatsmenPartnershipMatch()
  5. teamBatsmenVsBowlersMatch()
  6. teamBowlingScorecardMatch()
  7. teamBowlingWicketKindMatch()
  8. teamBowlingWicketRunsMatch()
  9. teamBowlingWicketMatch()
  10. teamBowlersVsBatsmenMatch()
  11. matchWormChart()

B. Functions that analyze all matches between 2 T20 teams (Class 2

Pitching yorkpy.on the middle and outside off-stump to IPL – Part 2 included functions that analyze head-to-head confrontation between any 2 T20 teams The functions are

  1. getAllMatchesBetweenTeams()

  1. getAllMatchesAllOpposition()
  2. saveAllMatchesAllOppositionIPLT20(dir1)
  3. getAllMatchesAllOpposition()
  4. saveAllMatchesAllOppositionIPLT20()

  17. bowlerCumulativeAvgWickets()
  18. bowlerCumulativeAvgEconRate()
  19. bowlerWicketPlot()
  20. bowlerWicketsAgainstOpposition()
  21. bowlerWicketsVenue()

Additional new functions were added to handle Intl T20s, Big Bash League and Natwest T20 Blast, since the teams are different. They are

59. saveAllMatchesBetween2IntlT20s()
60. saveAllMatchesAllOppositionIntlT20()
61. saveAllMatchesBetween2BBLTeams()
62 saveAllMatchesAllOppositionBBLT20()
63. saveAllMatchesBetween2NWBTeams()
64. saveAllMatchesAllOppositionNWBT20()

All other functions can be used as is! You can get the help of any function in yorkpy using

import yorkpy.analytics as yka
help(yka.teamBatsmenPartnershiOppnAllMatches)
## Help on function teamBatsmenPartnershiOppnAllMatches in module yorkpy.analytics:

As I mentioned above I will be randomly choosing a set of 12 functions from Class 1,2,3,4 for each of the T20 leagues (Intl T20, BBL and NWB T20) for analysis

2. International T20s

The following functions were added for handling Intl. T20s

  1. saveAllMatchesBetween2IntlT20s()
  2. saveAllMatchesAllOppositionIntlT20()

To handle the countries in Intl. T20s below

Afghanistan, Australia, Bangladesh, Bermuda, Canada, England,Hong Kong,India, Ireland, Kenya, Nepal, Netherlands, “New Zealand, Oman,Pakistan,Scotland,South Africa, Sri Lanka, United Arab Emirates,West Indies, Zimbabwe

import os
#os.chdir('C:\\software\\cricket-package\\yorkpyT20\\t20s')
#import yorkpy.analytics as yka
#1.  Convert all YAML files to dataframes and CSV
#yka.convertAllYaml2PandasDataframesT20(".", "..\\data1")
#dir1='C:\\software\\cricket-package\\yorkpyT20\\IntlT20-Matches'
#2. Save all matches between 2 T20 teams
#yka.saveAllMatchesBetween2IntlT20s(dir1)
#3. Save all matches between a T20 team and all other teams
#dir1='C:\\software\\cricket-package\\yorkpyT20\\IntlT20-Matches'
#yka.saveAllMatchesAllOppositionIntlT20(dir1)
#4. Get batting details
#dir1='C:\\software\\cricket-package\\yorkpyT20\\IntlT20-Matches
#yka.getTeamBattingDetails("Afghanistan",dir=dir1, save=True)
#yka.getTeamBattingDetails("Australia",dir=dir1,save=True)
#yka.getTeamBattingDetails("Bangladesh",dir=dir1,save=True)
#...
#5. Get bowling details
#dir1='C:\\software\\cricket-package\\yorkpyT20\\IntlT20-Matches
#yka.getTeamBowlingDetails("Afghanistan",dir=dir1, save=True)
#yka.getTeamBowlingDetails("Australia",dir=dir1,save=True)
#yka.getTeamBowlingDetails("Bangladesh",dir=dir1,save=True)
# ...

Once the data is converted you can use the yorkpy functions. The data has been converted for Intl T20 and is available at Github at IntlT20

To use the yorkpy functions for a new league we need to initial convert the YAML files into appropriate format for processing by yorkpy functions

This will create the necessary files which are are used in the functions below

Note: yorkpy will work for all T20 leagues which are in YAML format as specified in Cricsheet.

You can clone/fork the latest code for yorkpy from github yorkpy

The data for IPL, Intl. T20, BBL and Natwest T20 have already been converted into pandas dataframes and saved as CSVs. You can download the converted files from Github at [allYorkpyT20Data])(https://github.com/tvganesh/allYorkpyT20Data)

Conclusion This post shows the kind of detailed analysis that can be performed with yorkpy. In fact with all the converted data it should be possible to also train a Machine Learning model, which I will probably keep for another day. You could go ahead and use the data in other innovative ways. Do keep me posted if you do!!

Important note: Do check out my other posts using yorkpy at yorkpy-posts

Have fun with yorkpy!!

Pitching yorkpy … short of good length to IPL – Part 1

I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.
Bruce Lee

I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

Man, it doesn’t matter where you come in to bat, the score is still zero

Introduction

“If cricketr is to cricpy, then yorkr is to _____?”. Yes, you guessed it right, it is yorkpy. In this post, I introduce my 2nd python package, yorkpy, which is a python clone of my R package yorkr. This package is based on data from Cricsheet. yorkpy currently handles IPL T20 matches.

When I created cricpy, the python avatar, of my R package cricketr, see Introducing cricpy:A python package to analyze performances of cricketers, I had decided that I should avoid doing a python avatar of my R package yorkr (see Introducing cricket package yorkr: Part 1- Beaten by sheer pace!) , as it was more involved, and required the parsing of match data available as yaml files.

Just out of curiosity, I tried the python package ‘yaml’ to read the match data, and lo and behold, I was sucked into the developing the package and so, yorkpy was born. Of course, it goes without saying that, usually when I am in the thick of developing something, I occasionally wonder, why I am doing it, for whom and for what purpose? Maybe it is the joy of ideation, the problem-solving,  the programmer’s high, for sharing my ideas etc. Anyway, whatever be the reason, I hope you enjoy this post and also find yorkpy useful.

You can clone/download the code at Github yorkpy
This post has been published to RPubs at yorkpy-Part1
You can download this post as PDF at IPLT20-yorkpy-part1

Note: If you would like to do a similar analysis for a different set of batsman and bowlers, you can clone/download my skeleton yorkpy-template from Github (which is the R Markdown file I have used for the analysis below).

The IPL T20 functions in yorkpy are

2. Install the package using ‘pip install’

import pandas as pd
import yorkpy.analytics as yka
#pip install yorkpy

3. Load a yaml file from Cricsheet

There are 2 functions that can be to convert the IPL Twenty20 yaml files to pandas dataframeare

  1. convertYaml2PandasDataframeT20
  2. convertAllYaml2PandasDataframesT20

Note 1: While I have already converted the IPL T20 files, you will need to use these functions for future IPL matches

4. Convert and save IPL T20 yaml file to pandas dataframe

This function will convert a IPL T20 IPL yaml file, in the format as specified in Cricsheet to pandas dataframe. This will be saved as as CSV file in the target directory. The name of the file wil have the following format team1-team2-date.csv. The IPL T20 zip file can be downloaded from Indian Premier League matches.  An example of how a yaml file can be converted to a dataframe and saved is shown below.

import pandas as pd
import yorkpy.analytics as yka
#convertYaml2PandasDataframe(".\\1082593.yaml","..\ipl", ..\\data")

5. Convert and save all IPL T20 yaml files to dataframes

This function will convert all IPL T20 yaml files from a source directory to dataframes, and save it in the target directory, with the names as mentioned above. Since I have already done this, I will not be executing this again. You can download the zip of all the converted RData files from Github at yorkpyData

import pandas as pd
import yorkpy.analytics as yka
#convertAllYaml2PandasDataframes("..\\ipl", "..\\data")

You can download the the zip of the files and use it directly in the functions as follows.For the analysis below I chosen a set of random IPL matches

The randomly selected IPL T20 matches are

  • Chennai Super Kings vs Kings Xi Punjab, 2014-05-30
  • Deccan Chargers vs Delhi Daredevils, 2012-05-10
  • Gujarat Lions vs Mumbai Indians, 2017-04-29
  • Kolkata Knight Riders vs Rajasthan Royals, 2010-04-17
  • Rising Pune Supergiants vs Royal Challengers Bangalore, 2017-04-29

6. Team batting scorecard

The function below computes the batting score card of a team in an IPL match. The scorecard gives the balls faced, the runs scored, 4s, 6s and strike rate. The example below is based on the CSK KXIP match on 30 May 2014.

You can check against the actual scores in this match Chennai Super Kings-Kings XI Punjab-2014-05-30

Conclusion

This post included all functions between 2 IPL teams from the package yorkpy for IPL Twenty20 matches. As mentioned above the yaml match files have been already converted to dataframes and are available for download from Github at yorkpyData

After having used Python and R for analytics, Machine Learning and Deep Learning, I have now realized that neither language is superior or inferior. Both have, some good packages and some that are not so well suited.

To be continued. Watch this space!

Big Data-2: Move into the big league:Graduate from R to SparkR

This post is a continuation of my earlier post Big Data-1: Move into the big league:Graduate from Python to Pyspark. While the earlier post discussed parallel constructs in Python and Pyspark, this post elaborates similar and key constructs in R and SparkR. While this post just focuses on the programming part of R and SparkR it is essential to understand and fully grasp the concept of Spark, RDD and how data is distributed across the clusters. This post like the earlier post shows how if you already have a good handle of R, you can easily graduate to Big Data with SparkR

Note 1: This notebook has also been published at Databricks community site Big Data-2: Move into the big league:Graduate from R to SparkR

My 2 video presentations on ‘Essential Python for Datascience’

Here, in this post I include 2 sessions on ‘Essential Python for Datascience’. These 2 presentations cover the most important features of the Python language with which you can hit the ground running in datascience. All  the related material for these sessions can be cloned/downloaded from Github at ‘EssentialPythonForDatascience

1. Essential Python for Datascience -1
In this  video presentation I cover basic data types like tuples,lists, dictionaries. How to get the type of a variable, subsetting and numpy arrays. Some basic operations on numpy arrays, slicing is also covered

2. Essential Python for Datascience -2
In the 2nd part I cover Pandas, pandas Series, dataframes, how to subset dataframes using iloc,loc, selection of specific columns, filtering dataframes by criteria etc. Other operations include group_by, apply,agg. Lastly I also touch upon matplotlib.

This is no means an exhaustive coverage of the multitude of features available in Python but can provide as a good starting point for those venturing into datascience with Python.

Good luck with Python!

R vs Python: Different similarities and similar differences

A debate about which language is better suited for Datascience, R or Python, can set off diehard fans of these languages into a tizzy. This post tries to look at some of the different similarities and similar differences between these languages. To a large extent the ease or difficulty in learning R or Python is subjective. I have heard that R has a steeper learning curve than Python and also vice versa. This probably depends on the degree of familiarity with the languuge To a large extent both R an Python do the same thing in just slightly different ways and syntaxes. The ease or the difficulty in the R/Python construct’s largely is in the ‘eyes of the beholder’ nay, programmer’ we could say.  I include my own experience with the languages below.

Check out my compact and minimal book  “Practical Machine Learning with R and Python:Third edition- Machine Learning in stereo”  available in Amazon in paperback($12.99) and kindle($8.99) versions. My book includes implementations of key ML algorithms and associated measures and metrics. The book is ideal for anybody who is familiar with the concepts and would like a quick reference to the different ML algorithms that can be applied to problems and how to select the best model. Pick your copy today!!

1. R data types

R has the following data types

  1.  Character
  2. Integer
  3. Numeric
  4. Logical
  5. Complex
  6. Raw

Python has several data types

  1. Int
  2. float
  3. Long
  4. Complex and so on

2. R Vector vs Python List

A common data type in R is the vector. Python has a similar data type, the list

# R vectors
a<-c(4,5,1,3,4,5)
print(a[3])
## [1] 1
print(a[3:4]) # R does not always need the explicit print. 
## [1] 1 3
#R type of variable
print(class(a))
## [1] "numeric"
# Length of a
print(length(a))
## [1] 6
# Python lists
a=[4,5,1,3,4,5] # 
print(a[2]) # Some python IDEs require the explicit print
print(a[2:5])
print(type(a))
# Length of a
print(len(a))
## 1
## [1, 3, 4]
## 
## 6

2a. Other data types – Python

Python also has certain other data types like the tuple, dictionary etc as shown below. R does not have as many of the data types, nevertheless we can do everything that Python does in R

# Python tuple
b = (4,5,7,8)
print(b)


#Python dictionary
c={'name':'Ganesh','age':54,'Work':'Professional'}
print(c)
#Print type of variable c
## (4, 5, 7, 8)
## {'name': 'Ganesh', 'age': 54, 'Work': 'Professional'}

2.Type of Variable

To know the type of the variable in R we use ‘class’, In Python the corresponding command is ‘type’

#R - Type of variable
a<-c(4,5,1,3,4,5)
print(class(a))
## [1] "numeric"
#Python - Print type of tuple a
a=[4,5,1,3,4,5]
print(type(a))
b=(4,3,"the",2)
print(type(b))
## 
## 

3. Length

To know length in R, use length()

#R - Length of vector
# Length of a
a<-c(4,5,1,3,4,5)
print(length(a))
## [1] 6

To know the length of a list,tuple or dict we can use len()

# Python - Length of list , tuple etc
# Length of a
a=[4,5,1,3,4,5]
print(len(a))
# Length of b
b = (4,5,7,8)
print(len(b))
## 6
## 4

4. Accessing help

To access help in R we use the ‘?’ or the ‘help’ function

#R - Help - To be done in R console or RStudio
#?sapply
#help(sapply)

Help in python on any topic involves

#Python help - This can be done on a (I)Python console
#help(len)
#?len

5. Subsetting

The key difference between R and Python with regards to subsetting is that in R the index starts at 1. In Python it starts at 0, much like C,C++ or Java To subset a vector in R we use

#R - Subset
a<-c(4,5,1,3,4,8,12,18,1)
print(a[3])
## [1] 1
# To print a range or a slice. Print from the 3rd to the 5th element
print(a[3:6])
## [1] 1 3 4 8

Python also uses indices. The difference in Python is that the index starts from 0/

#Python - Subset
a=[4,5,1,3,4,8,12,18,1]
# Print the 4th element (starts from 0)
print(a[3])

# Print a slice from 4 to 6th element
print(a[3:6])
## 3
## [3, 4, 8]

6. Operations on vectors in R and operation on lists in Python

In R we can do many operations on vectors for e.g. element by element addition, subtraction, exponentation,product etc. as show

#R - Operations on vectors
a<- c(5,2,3,1,7)
b<- c(1,5,4,6,8)

#Element wise Addition
print(a+b)
## [1]  6  7  7  7 15
#Element wise subtraction
print(a-b)
## [1]  4 -3 -1 -5 -1
#Element wise product
print(a*b)
## [1]  5 10 12  6 56
# Exponentiating the elements of a vector
print(a^2)
## [1] 25  4  9  1 49

In Python to do this on lists we need to use the ‘map’ and the ‘lambda’ function as follows

# Python - Operations on list
a =[5,2,3,1,7]
b =[1,5,4,6,8]

#Element wise addition with map & lambda
print(list(map(lambda x,y: x+y,a,b)))
#Element wise subtraction
print(list(map(lambda x,y: x-y,a,b)))
#Element wise product
print(list(map(lambda x,y: x*y,a,b)))
# Exponentiating the elements of a list
print(list(map(lambda x: x**2,a)))
## [6, 7, 7, 7, 15]
## [4, -3, -1, -5, -1]
## [5, 10, 12, 6, 56]
## [25, 4, 9, 1, 49]

However if we create ndarrays from lists then we can do the element wise addition,subtraction,product, etc. like R. Numpy is really a powerful module with many, many functions for matrix manipulations

import numpy as np
a =[5,2,3,1,7]
b =[1,5,4,6,8]
a=np.array(a)
b=np.array(b)
#Element wise addition
print(a+b)
#Element wise subtraction
print(a-b)
#Element wise product
print(a*b)
# Exponentiating the elements of a list
print(a**2)
## [ 6  7  7  7 15]
## [ 4 -3 -1 -5 -1]
## [ 5 10 12  6 56]
## [25  4  9  1 49]

7. Getting the index of element

To determine the index of an element which satisifies a specific logical condition in R use ‘which’. In the code below the index of element which is equal to 1 is 4

# R - Which
a<- c(5,2,3,1,7)
print(which(a == 1))
## [1] 4

In Python array we can use np.where to get the same effect. The index will be 3 as the index starts from 0

# Python - np.where
import numpy as np
a =[5,2,3,1,7]
a=np.array(a)
print(np.where(a==1))
## (array([3], dtype=int64),)

8. Data frames

R, by default comes with a set of in-built datasets. There are some datasets which come with the SkiKit- Learn package

# R 
# To check built datasets use
#data() - In R console or in R Studio
#iris - Don't print to console

We can use the in-built data sets that come with Scikit package

#Python
import sklearn as sklearn
import pandas as pd
from sklearn import datasets
# This creates a Sklearn bunch
data = datasets.load_iris()
# Convert to Pandas dataframe
iris = pd.DataFrame(data.data, columns=data.feature_names)

9. Working with dataframes

With R you can work with dataframes directly. For more complex dataframe operations in R there are convenient packages like dplyr, reshape2 etc. For Python we need to use the Pandas package. Pandas is quite comprehensive in the list of things we can do with data frames The most common operations on a dataframe are

  • Check the size of the dataframe
  • Take a look at the top 5 or bottom 5 rows of dataframe
  • Check the content of the dataframe

a.Size

In R use dim()

#R - Size
dim(iris)
## [1] 150   5

For Python use .shape

#Python - size
import sklearn as sklearn
import pandas as pd
from sklearn import datasets
data = datasets.load_iris()
# Convert to Pandas dataframe
iris = pd.DataFrame(data.data, columns=data.feature_names)
iris.shape

b. Top & bottom 5 rows of dataframe

To know the top and bottom rows of a data frame we use head() & tail as shown below for R and Python

#R 
head(iris,5)
##   Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species
## 1          5.1         3.5          1.4         0.2  setosa
## 2          4.9         3.0          1.4         0.2  setosa

## 5          5.0         3.6          1.4         0.2  setosa
tail(iris,5)

## 150          5.9         3.0          5.1         1.8 virginica
#Python
import sklearn as sklearn
import pandas as pd
from sklearn import datasets
data = datasets.load_iris()
# Convert to Pandas dataframe
iris = pd.DataFrame(data.data, columns=data.feature_names)
print(iris.head(5))
print(iris.tail(5))
##    sepal length (cm)  sepal width (cm)  petal length (cm)  petal width (cm)
## 0                5.1               3.5                1.4               0.2

## 146                6.3               2.5                5.0               1.9
## 147                6.5               3.0                5.2               2.0

d. Check column names

#R
names(iris)
## [1] "Sepal.Length" "Sepal.Width"  "Petal.Length" "Petal.Width" 
## [5] "Species"
colnames(iris)
## [1] "Sepal.Length" "Sepal.Width"  "Petal.Length" "Petal.Width" 
## [5] "Species"
#Python
import sklearn as sklearn
import pandas as pd
from sklearn import datasets
data = datasets.load_iris()
# Convert to Pandas dataframe
iris = pd.DataFrame(data.data, columns=data.feature_names)
#Get column names
print(iris.columns)
## Index(['sepal length (cm)', 'sepal width (cm)', 'petal length (cm)',
##        'petal width (cm)'],
##       dtype='object')

e. Rename columns

In R we can assign a vector to column names

#R
colnames(iris) <- c("lengthOfSepal","widthOfSepal","lengthOfPetal","widthOfPetal","Species")
colnames(iris)
## [1] "lengthOfSepal" "widthOfSepal"  "lengthOfPetal" "widthOfPetal" 
## [5] "Species"

In Python we can assign a list to s.columns

#Python
import sklearn as sklearn
import pandas as pd
from sklearn import datasets
data = datasets.load_iris()
# Convert to Pandas dataframe
iris = pd.DataFrame(data.data, columns=data.feature_names)
iris.columns = ["lengthOfSepal","widthOfSepal","lengthOfPetal","widthOfPetal"]
print(iris.columns)
## Index(['lengthOfSepal', 'widthOfSepal', 'lengthOfPetal', 'widthOfPetal'], dtype='object')

f.Details of dataframe

#Python
import sklearn as sklearn
import pandas as pd
from sklearn import datasets
data = datasets.load_iris()
# Convert to Pandas dataframe
iris = pd.DataFrame(data.data, columns=data.feature_names)
print(iris.info())
## 
## RangeIndex: 150 entries, 0 to 149
## Data columns (total 4 columns):
## sepal length (cm)    150 non-null float64
## sepal width (cm)     150 non-null float64
## petal length (cm)    150 non-null float64
## petal width (cm)     150 non-null float64
## dtypes: float64(4)
## memory usage: 4.8 KB
## None

g. Subsetting dataframes

# R
#To subset a dataframe 'df' in R we use df[row,column] or df[row vector,column vector]
#df[row,column]
iris[3,4]
## [1] 0.2

h. Computing Mean, Standard deviation

#R 
#Mean
mean(iris$lengthOfSepal)
## [1] 5.843333
#Standard deviation
sd(iris$widthOfSepal)
## [1] 0.4358663
#Python
#Mean
import sklearn as sklearn
import pandas as pd
from sklearn import datasets
data = datasets.load_iris()
# Convert to Pandas dataframe
iris = pd.DataFrame(data.data, columns=data.feature_names)
# Convert to Pandas dataframe
print(iris['sepal length (cm)'].mean())
#Standard deviation
print(iris['sepal width (cm)'].std())
## 5.843333333333335
## 0.4335943113621737

i. Boxplot

Boxplot can be produced in R using baseplot

#R
boxplot(iris$lengthOfSepal)

Matplotlib is a popular package in Python for plots

#Python
import sklearn as sklearn
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from sklearn import datasets
data = datasets.load_iris()
# Convert to Pandas dataframe
iris = pd.DataFrame(data.data, columns=data.feature_names)
img=plt.boxplot(iris['sepal length (cm)'])
plt.show(img)

j.Scatter plot

#R
plot(iris$widthOfSepal,iris$lengthOfSepal)

#Python
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import sklearn as sklearn
import pandas as pd
from sklearn import datasets
data = datasets.load_iris()
# Convert to Pandas dataframe
iris = pd.DataFrame(data.data, columns=data.feature_names)
img=plt.scatter(iris['sepal width (cm)'],iris['sepal length (cm)'])
#plt.show(img)

k. Read from csv file

#R
tendulkar= read.csv("tendulkar.csv",stringsAsFactors = FALSE,na.strings=c(NA,"-"))
#Dimensions of dataframe
dim(tendulkar)
## [1] 347  13
names(tendulkar)
##  [1] "X"          "Runs"       "Mins"       "BF"         "X4s"       
##  [6] "X6s"        "SR"         "Pos"        "Dismissal"  "Inns"      
## [11] "Opposition" "Ground"     "Start.Date"

Use pandas.read_csv() for Python

#Python
import pandas as pd
#Read csv
tendulkar= pd.read_csv("tendulkar.csv",na_values=["-"])
print(tendulkar.shape)
print(tendulkar.columns)
## (347, 13)
## Index(['Unnamed: 0', 'Runs', 'Mins', 'BF', '4s', '6s', 'SR', 'Pos',
##        'Dismissal', 'Inns', 'Opposition', 'Ground', 'Start Date'],
##       dtype='object')

l. Clean the dataframe in R and Python.

The following steps are done for R and Python
1.Remove rows with ‘DNB’
2.Remove rows with ‘TDNB’
3.Remove rows with absent
4.Remove the “*” indicating not out
5.Remove incomplete rows with NA for R or NaN in Python
6.Do a scatter plot

#R
# Remove rows with 'DNB'
a <- tendulkar$Runs != "DNB"
tendulkar <- tendulkar[a,]
dim(tendulkar)
## [1] 330  13
# Remove rows with 'TDNB'
b <- tendulkar$Runs != "TDNB"
tendulkar <- tendulkar[b,]

# Remove rows with absent
c <- tendulkar$Runs != "absent"
tendulkar <- tendulkar[c,]
dim(tendulkar)
## [1] 329  13
# Remove the "* indicating not out
tendulkar$Runs <- as.numeric(gsub("\\*","",tendulkar$Runs))
dim(tendulkar)
## [1] 329  13
# Select only complete rows - complete.cases()
c <- complete.cases(tendulkar)
#Subset the rows which are complete
tendulkar <- tendulkar[c,]
dim(tendulkar)
## [1] 327  13
# Do some base plotting - Scatter plot
plot(tendulkar$BF,tendulkar$Runs)

#Python 
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
#Read csv
tendulkar= pd.read_csv("tendulkar.csv",na_values=["-"])
print(tendulkar.shape)
# Remove rows with 'DNB'
a=tendulkar.Runs !="DNB"
tendulkar=tendulkar[a]
print(tendulkar.shape)
# Remove rows with 'TDNB'
b=tendulkar.Runs !="TDNB"
tendulkar=tendulkar[b]
print(tendulkar.shape)
# Remove rows with absent
c= tendulkar.Runs != "absent"
tendulkar=tendulkar[c]
print(tendulkar.shape)
# Remove the "* indicating not out
tendulkar.Runs= tendulkar.Runs.str.replace(r"[*]","")
#Select only complete rows - dropna()
tendulkar=tendulkar.dropna()
print(tendulkar.shape)
tendulkar.Runs = tendulkar.Runs.astype(int)
tendulkar.BF = tendulkar.BF.astype(int)
#Scatter plot
plt.scatter(tendulkar.BF,tendulkar.Runs)
## (347, 13)
## (330, 13)
## (329, 13)
## (329, 13)
## (327, 13)

m.Chaining operations on dataframes

To chain a set of operations we need to use an R package like dplyr. Pandas does this The following operations are done on tendulkar data frame by dplyr for R and Pandas for Python below

  1. Group by ground
  2. Compute average runs in each ground
  3. Arrange in descending order
#R
library(dplyr)
tendulkar1 <- tendulkar %>% group_by(Ground) %>% summarise(meanRuns= mean(Runs)) %>%
         arrange(desc(meanRuns))
head(tendulkar1,10)
## # A tibble: 10 × 2
##           Ground  meanRuns
##                 
## 1         Multan 194.00000
## 2          Leeds 193.00000
## 3  Colombo (RPS) 143.00000
## 4        Lucknow 142.00000
## 5          Dhaka 132.75000
## 6     Manchester  93.50000
## 7         Sydney  87.22222
## 8   Bloemfontein  85.00000
## 9     Georgetown  81.00000
## 10 Colombo (SSC)  77.55556
#Python
import pandas as pd
#Read csv
tendulkar= pd.read_csv("tendulkar.csv",na_values=["-"])
print(tendulkar.shape)
# Remove rows with 'DNB'
a=tendulkar.Runs !="DNB"
tendulkar=tendulkar[a]
# Remove rows with 'TDNB'
b=tendulkar.Runs !="TDNB"
tendulkar=tendulkar[b]
# Remove rows with absent
c= tendulkar.Runs != "absent"
tendulkar=tendulkar[c]
# Remove the "* indicating not out
tendulkar.Runs= tendulkar.Runs.str.replace(r"[*]","")

#Select only complete rows - dropna()
tendulkar=tendulkar.dropna()
tendulkar.Runs = tendulkar.Runs.astype(int)
tendulkar.BF = tendulkar.BF.astype(int)
tendulkar1= tendulkar.groupby('Ground').mean()['Runs'].sort_values(ascending=False)
print(tendulkar1.head(10))
## (347, 13)
## Ground
## Multan           194.000000
## Leeds            193.000000
## Colombo (RPS)    143.000000
## Lucknow          142.000000
## Dhaka            132.750000
## Manchester        93.500000
## Sydney            87.222222
## Bloemfontein      85.000000
## Georgetown        81.000000
## Colombo (SSC)     77.555556
## Name: Runs, dtype: float64

9. Functions

product <- function(a,b){
  c<- a*b
  c
}
product(5,7)
## [1] 35
def product(a,b):
  c = a*b
  return c
  
print(product(5,7))
## 35

Conclusion

Personally, I took to R, much like a ‘duck takes to water’. I found the R syntax very simple and mostly intuitive. R packages like dplyr, ggplot2, reshape2, make the language quite irrestible. R is weakly typed and has only numeric and character types as opposed to the full fledged data types in Python.

Python, has too many bells and whistles, which can be a little bewildering to the novice. It is possible that they may be useful as one becomes more experienced with the language. Also I found that installing Python packages sometimes gives errors with Python versions 2.7 or 3.6. This will leave you scrambling to google to find how to fix these problems. These can be quite frustrating. R on the other hand makes installing R packages a breeze.

Anyway, this is my current opinion, and like all opinions, may change in the course of time. Let’s see!

I may write a follow up post with more advanced features of R and Python. So do keep checking! Long live R! Viva la Python!

Note: This post was created using RStudio’s RMarkdown which allows you to embed R and Python code snippets. It works perfectly, except that matplotlib’s pyplot does not display.
