ANOVA PART I: The Introductory Guide to ANOVA

ANOVA PART I: The Introductory Guide to ANOVA

 In this blog, we are going to be discussing a statistical technique, ANOVA, which is used for comparison.        

The basic principal of ANOVA is to test for differences among the mean of different samples. It examines the amount of variation within each of these samples and the amount of variation between the samples. ANOVA is important in the context of all those situations where we want to compare more than two samples as in comparing the yield of crop from several variety of seeds etc.

The essence of ANOVA is that the total amount of variation in a set of data is broken in two types:-

  1. The amount that can be attributed to chance.
  2. The amount which can be attributed to specified cause.

One-way ANOVA

Under the one-way ANOVA we compare the samples based on a single factor. For example productivity of different variety of seeds.

Stepwise process involved in calculation of one-way ANOVA is as follows:-

  1. Calculate the mean of each sample X ̅
  2. Calculate the super mean
  3. Calculate the sum of squares between (SSB) samples

  1. Divide the result by the degree of freedom between the samples to obtain mean square between (MSW) samples.
  2. Now calculate variation within the samples i.e. sum of square within (SSW)

  1. Calculate mean square within (MSW)

  2. Calculate the F-ratio

  3. Last but not the least calculate the total variation in the given samples i.e. sum of square for total variance.

Lets now solve a one-way ANOVA problem.

A,B and C are three different variety of seeds and now we need to check if there is any variation in their productivity or not. We will be using one-way ANOVA as there is a single factor comparison involved i.e. variety of seeds.

The f-ratio is 1.53 which lies within the critical value of 4.26 (calculated from the f-distribution table).

Conclusion:- Since the f-ratio lies within the acceptance region we can say that there is no difference in the productivity of the seeds and the little bit of variation that we see is caused by chance.

Two-way ANOVA will be discussed in my next blog so do comeback for the update.

Introducing Automation: Learn to Automate Data Preparation with Python Libraries

Introducing automation

In this blog we are discussing automation, a function for automating data preparation using a mix of Python libraries. So let’s start.

Problem statement

A data containing the following observation is given to you in which the first row contains column headers and all the other rows contains the data. Some of the rows are faulty, a row is faulty if it contains at least one cell with a NULL value. You are supposed to delete all the faulty rows containing NULL value written in it.

In the table given below, the second row is faulty, it contains a NULL value in salary column. The first row is never faulty as it contains the column headers. In the data provided to you every cell in a column may contain a single word and each word may contain digits between 0 & 9 or lowercase and upper case English letters. For example:

In the above example after removing the faulty row the table looks like this:

The order of rows cannot be changed but the number of rows and columns may differ in different test case.

The data after preparation must be saved in a CSV format. Every two successive cells in each row are separated by a single comma ‘,’symbol and every two successive rows are separated by a new-line ‘\n’ symbol. For example, the first table from the task statement to be saved in a CSV format is a single string ‘S. No., Name, Salary\n1,Niharika,50000\n2,Vivek,NULL\n3,Niraj,55000’ . The only assumption in this task is that each row may contain same number of cells.

Write a python function that converts the above string into the given format.

Write a function:

def Solution(s)

Given a string S of length N, returns the table without the Faulty rows in a CSV format.

Given S=‘S. No., Name, Salary\n1,Niharika,50000\n2,Vivek,NULL\n3,Niraj,55000’

The table with data from string S looks as follows:

After removing the rows containing the NULL values the table should look like this:

You can try a number of strings to cross-validate the function you have created.

Let’s begin.

  • First we will store the string in a variable s
  • Now we will start by declaring the function name and importing all the necessary libraries.
  • Creating a pattern to separate the string from ‘\n’ .
  • Creating a loop to create multiple lists within a list.

In the above code the list is converted to an array and then used to create a dataframe and stored as csv file in the default working directory.

  • Now we need to split the string to create multiple columns.

The above code creates a dataframe with multiple columns.

Now after dropping the rows with NaN values data looks like

To reset the index we can now use .reset_index() method.

  • Now the problem with the above dataframe created is that the NULL values are in string format, so first we need to convert them into NaN values and then only we will be able to drop them. For that we will be using the following code.

Now we will be able to drop the NaN values easily by using .dropna() method.

In the above code we first dropped the NaN values  then we used the first row of the data set to create column names and then dropped the original row. We also made the first column as index.


Hence we have managed to create a function that can give us the above data. Once created this function can be used to convert a string into dataframe with similar pattern.

Hopefully, you found the discussion informative enough. For further clarification watch the video attached below the blog. To access more informative blogs on Data science using python training related topics, keep on following the Dexlab Analytics blog.

Here’s a video introduction to Automation. You can check it down below to develop a considerable understanding of the same:

How AI can change the way your workplace functions

How AI can change the way your workplace functions?

As AI is gradually being incorporated into businesses, it is only a matter of time before the workplace dynamics get completely revolutionized. Despite there being a misconception that the adoption of AI only will spell disaster for the job market but, that is far from the truth. Yes, for handling repetitive tasks that require absolutely no human intervention might be entirely handled by the AI powered robots, but, there will be a requirement for people who have undergone artificial intelligence certification in delhi ncr. As the workplaces around us gear up to include AI in their regime, employees with AI training background would prove to be invaluable assets in the days to come.

How the workplace is being transformed by AI

  • AI could streamline workplace operations right from the hiring process. Finding the right candidate for any job means wading through a huge number of candidate profiles, scanning resumes, and then scheduling interviews. AI can automate the entire process by taking care of every single segment and could also engage with candidates and do the initial screening. Using a tool like Koru helps employers match candidate profiles to the job requirement and enables them to shortlist ideal candidates in a jiffy.

  • Post hiring the onboarding process could also be handled by AI by deploying chatbots that can help the new workers integrate with the existing system. AI-powered tools are also being incorporated to train the employees and personalized training programs could be developed as a result. A case in point would be Cogito, which monitors calls and offers suggestions to the customer support department to improve their conversations.

  • The employees usually have to go through carrying out some mundane tasks. It could be scheduling meetings, preparing reports, and also looking through reports to extract relevant information. This takes away all their time and energy which they otherwise could have utilized doing something productive. The inclusion of AI can take this mundane workload off the shoulders of the employees and automate the entire process. Another benefit to consider would be to identifying areas in the workplace that needs immediate attention, as well as identifying obstacles standing in the way of getting productive. LaborWise is an excellent productivity analytics tool.

  • Security is a key factor for any organization and given the rise in cybercrime, having access to cutting edge technology can prevent such threats. AI can rise to the occasion and help to identify threats analyzing scores of data in real-time.  A great example of this would be DeepArmor, which is used for the prevention of malware. AI could easily detect anomaly which otherwise is impossible and could also explore previous datasets to identify areas that are vulnerable to such attacks. AI robots can also be used to handle hazardous work situations which could endanger a human worker.

  • Application of AI means that the organization would be empowered by cutting edge business knowledge. The accumulated data gets parsed quickly and employees get access to valuable information to devise the strategies accordingly. It saves time, it saves labor and most importantly it removes errors. The companies are quickly able to spot any changes in the pattern that needs immediate attention.

Data Science Machine Learning Certification

Be it the inclusion of RPA or, some other tool, AI is making workplaces function more efficiently and the future already sounds promising. However, the bias surrounding AI needs to be tackled and most importantly employees should be encouraged to upgrade themselves by enrolling in an artificial intelligence training institute in Gurgaon.

Probability PART-II: A Guide To Probability Theorems

Probability PART-II: A Guide To Probability Theorems

This is the second part of the probability series, in the first segment we discussed the basic concepts of probability. In this second part we will delve deeper into the topic and discuss the theorems of probability. Let’s find out what these theorems are.

Addition Theorem

    • If A and B are two events and they are not necessarily mutually exclusive then the probability of occurrence of at least one of the two events A and B i.e. P(AUB) is given by



 
 
 
 
Removing the intersections will give the probability of A or B  or both.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Example:- From a deck of cards 1 card is drawn, what is the probability the card is king or heart or both?

Total cards 52

P(KingUHeart)= P(King)+P(Heart) ─ P(King∩Heart)

  • If A and B are two mutually exclusive events then the probability that either A or B will occur is the sum of individual probabilities of the events A and B.

 
 
 
 
 
 
P(A)+P(B), here the combined probability of the two will either give P(A) or P(B)
 
 
 
 
 
 

  • If A and B are two non mutually exclusive events then the probability of occurrence of event A is given by

               

 
 
 
Where B’ is 1-P(B), that means probability of  A is calculated as P(A)=1-P(B)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Multiplication Law

The law of multiplication is used to find the joint probability or the intersection i.e. the probability of two events occurring together at the same point of time.

In the above graph we see that when the bill is paid at the same time tip is also paid and the interaction of the two can be seen in the graph.

Joint probability table

A joint probability table displays the intersection (joint) probabilities along with the marginal probabilities of a given problem where the marginal probability is computed by dividing some subtotal by the whole.

Example:- Given the following joint probability table find out the probability that the employee is female or a professional worker.

Watch this video down below that further explains the theorems.

At the end of this blog, you must have grasped the basics of the theorems discussed here. Keep on tracking the Dexlab Analytics blog where you will find more discussions on topics related to Data Science training.

What Role Does A Data Scientist Play In A Business Organization?

What Role Does A Data Scientist Play In A Business Organization?

The job of a data scientist is one that is challenging, exciting and crucial to an organization’s success.  So, it’s no surprise that there is a rush to enroll in a Data Science course, to be eligible for the job. But, while you are at it, you also need to have the awareness regarding the job responsibilities usually bestowed upon the data scientists in a business organization and you would be surprised to learn that the responsibilities of a data scientist differs from that of a data analyst or, a data engineer.

So, what is the role and responsibility of a data scientist?  Let’s take a look.

The common idea regarding a data scientist role is that they analyze huge volumes of data in order to find patterns and extract information that would help the organizations to move ahead by developing strategies accordingly. This surface level idea cannot sum up the way a data scientist navigates through the data field. The responsibilities could be broken down into segments and that would help you get the bigger picture.

Data management

The data scientist, post assuming the role, needs to be aware of the goal of the organization in order to proceed. He needs to stay aware of the top trends in the industry to guide his organization, and collect data and also decide which methods are to be used for the purpose. The most crucial part of the job is the developing the knowledge of the problems the business is trying solve and the data available that have relevance and could be used to achieve the goal. He has to collaborate with other departments such as analytics to get the job of extracting information from data.

Data analysis

Another vital responsibility of the data scientist is to assume the analytical role and build models and implement those models to solve issues that are best fit for the purpose. The data scientist has to resort to data mining, text mining techniques. Doing text mining with python course can really put you in an advantageous position when you actually get to handle complex dataset.

Developing strategies

The data scientists need to devote themselves to tasks like data cleaning, applying models, and wade through unstructured datasets to derive actionable insight in order to gauge the customer behavior, market trends. These insights help a business organization to decide its future course of action and also measure a product performance. A Data analyst training institute is the right place to pick up the skills required for performing such nuanced tasks.

Collaborating

Another vital task that a data scientist performs is collaborating with others such as stakeholders and data engineers, data analysts communicating with them in order to share their findings or, discussing certain issues. However, in order to communicate effectively the data scientists need to master the art of data visualization which they could learn while pursuing big data courses in delhi along with deep learning for computer vision course.  The key issue here is to make the presentation simple yet effective enough so that people from any background can understand it.

Data Science Machine Learning Certification

The above mentioned responsibilities of a data scientist just scratch the surface because, a data scientist’s job role cannot be limited by or, defined by a couple of tasks. The data scientist needs to be in synch with the implementation process to understand and analyze further how the data driven insight is shaping strategies and to which effect. Most importantly, they need to evaluate the current data infrastructure of the company and advise regarding future improvement. A data scientist needs to have a keen knowledge of Machine Learning Using Python, to be able to perform the complex tasks their job demands.

Probability PART-I: Introducing The Concept Of Probability

Probability PART-I: Introducing The Concept Of Probability

Today we will begin discussion about a significant concept, probability, which measures the likelihood of the occurrence of an event. This is the first part of the series, where you would be introduced to the core concept. So, let’s begin.

What is probability?

It is a measure of quantifying the likelihood that an event will occur and it is written as P(x).


Key concepts of probability


 
 
A union comprises of only unique values.
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
Intersection comprises of common values of the two sets

 

 

  • Mutually Exclusive Events:- If the occurrence of one event preludes the occurrence of the other event(s), then it is called mutually exclusive event.

P(A∩B) = 0

  • Independent Events:- If the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event does not have any effect on the occurrence or non-occurrence of other event(s), then it is called an independent event. For example drinking tea is independent of going for shopping.
  • Collectively Exhaustive Events:– A set of collectively exhaustive events comprises of all possible elementary events for an experiment. Therefore, all sample spaces are collectively exhaustive sets.
  • Complementary Events:– A complement of event A will be A` i.e. P(A`) = 1 ─ P(A)

Properties of probability

  • Probabilities are non-negative values ranging between 0 & 1.
  • Ω = 1 i.e. combined probability of sample is 1
  • If A & B are two mutually exclusive events then P(A U B)= P(A) +P(B)
  • Probability of not happening of an event is P(A)= 1 ─ P(A)

Rules of Counting the possibilities

  • The mn counting rule:- When a customer has a set of combinations to choose from like two different engines, five different paint colors and three different interior packages , how will he calculate the total number of options available to him? The answer to the question is “ mn counting rule”. Simply multiply the given options, like in our case 2 * 5 * 3 will give us 30.This means the customer has 30 combinations to choose from when it comes to purchasing a car.
  • Sampling from a population with replacement:- Suppose that you roll a dice three times i.e. the number of trials is 3, now if we want to check how many combinations are possible in this particular experiment we use Nn = 63 = 216
  • Sampling from a population without replacement:- When the sample space shrinks after each trial then you use the following formula :-
