Calculating the Moving Average of a Data Table with Multiple Columns in R Using Zoo and Dplyr
Moving Average of Data Table with Multiple Columns In this article, we’ll explore how to calculate the moving average of a data table with multiple columns. We’ll use R and its popular libraries data.table and dplyr. Specifically, we’ll demonstrate two approaches: using rollapplyr from zoo and leveraging lapply within data.table. Introduction A moving average is a statistical calculation that calculates the average of a set of data points over a fixed window size.

How to Create, Understand, and Save a Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) Model in R
Understanding R’s Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) Model and Saving it Introduction In this article, we will delve into the world of linear discriminant analysis (LDA), a popular supervised machine learning algorithm used for classification problems. We will explore how to create an LDA model in R, examine its output, and learn how to save it. What is Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA)? Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) is a linear supervised machine learning algorithm that attempts to find the best hyperplane to separate the classes in a feature space.

Flagging Rows in Pandas Dataframe Based on Multicolumn Match from Another DataFrame
Flag Dataframe Rows Based on Multicolumn Match from Another Dataframe Introduction When working with pandas dataframes, it is often necessary to compare rows between two or more datasets. In this scenario, we have two dataframes, df1 and df2, both containing columns “A” and “B”. Our goal is to flag the rows in df1 that contain a combination of values in “A” and “B” that match a row in df2. In this article, we will explore how to achieve this using pandas’ merge functionality.

Transforming Individual-Level Data into Grouped Level Lists and Searching for Presence of Elements Using R's data.table Package
Transforming Individual-Level Data into Grouped Level Lists and Searching for Presence of Elements As data analysts, we often encounter datasets where individual-level data needs to be aggregated into grouped level lists while retaining information about individual characteristics. This problem is particularly relevant in fields like social sciences, economics, and marketing research, where data is typically collected at both the individual and group levels. In this article, we will explore a solution using R’s data.

Loading Large Object (LOB) Files from Teradata's DBC.QRYLOGSQL into a Pandas DataFrame for Efficient Data Analysis
Loading Large Object (LOB) Files from Teradata’s DBC.QRYLOGSQL into a Pandas DataFrame When working with large object files, such as those stored in Teradata’s DBC.QRYLOGSQL table via Python code and loaded into a pandas DataFrame, several issues can arise. In this article, we will explore the process of loading these LOB files efficiently, validating their length, removing regular expression (RegEx) patterns, and displaying the full text. Problem Statement Teradata’s DBC.QRYLOGSQL table contains large object files stored in the SqlTextInfo column.

Delaying Quosures in R: How to Modify Code for Accurate Evaluation with pmap_int
To create a delayed list of quosures that will be evaluated in the data frame, use !! instead of !!!. Here’s how you can modify your code: mutate(df, outcome = pmap_int(!!!exprs, myfunction)) This way, when pmap_int() is called, each element of exprs (the actual list of quoted expressions) will be evaluated in the data frame.
