How to create Spark Dataframe on HBase table[Code Snippets]
There is no direct library to create Dataframe on HBase table like how we read Hive table with Spark sql. This post gives the way to create dataframe on top of Hbase table. You need to add hbase-client dependency to achieve this. Below is the link to get the dependency. https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.hbase/hbase-client/2.1.0 Lets say the hbase table is ’emp’ with rowKey as ’empID’ and columns are ‘name’ and ‘city’ under the column-family named – ‘metadata’. Case class -EmpRow is used in order to give the structure to the dataframe. newAPIHadoopRDD is the API available in Spark to create RDD on hbase, configurations need to passed as shown below. Dataframe will be created when you parse this RDD on case class. ...
How to Add Serial Number to Spark Dataframe
You may required to add Serial number to Spark Dataframe sometimes. It can be done with the spark function called monotonically_increasing_id(). It generates a new column with unique 64-bit monotonic index for each row. But it isn’t significant, as the sequence changes based on the partition. In short, random numbers will be assigned which are out of sequence. If the goal is add serial number to the dataframe, you can use zipWithIndex method available on RDD. below is how you can achieve the same on dataframe. [code lang=”python”] from pyspark.sql.types import LongType, StructField, StructType def dfZipWithIndex (df, offset=1, colName="rowId"): ”’ Enumerates dataframe rows is native order, like rdd.ZipWithIndex(), but on a dataframe and preserves a ...
XGBoost for Regression[Case Study]
Using Gradient Boosting for Regression Problems Introduction : The goal of the blogpost is to equip beginners with basics of gradient boosting regressor algorithm and quickly help them to build their first model. We will mainly focus on the modeling side of it . The data cleaning and preprocessing parts would be covered in detail in an upcoming post. Gradient Boosting for regression builds an additive model in a forward stage-wise fashion; it allows for the optimization of arbitrary differentiable loss functions. In each stage a regression tree is fit on the negative gradient of the given loss function. The idea of boosting came out of the idea of whether a weak learner can be modified to become better.A weak hypothesis or weak learner is defined as one whose performance is at least slig...
XGBoost for Classification[Case Study]
Boost Your ML skills with XGBoost Introduction : In this blog we will discuss one of the Popular Boosting Ensemble algorithm called XGBoost. XGBoost is the most popular machine learning algorithm these days. Regardless of the data type (regression or classification), it is well known to provide better solutions than other ML algorithms. Extreme Gradient Boosting (xgboost) is similar to gradient boosting framework but more efficient. It has both linear model solver and tree learning algorithms. So, what makes it fast is its capacity to do parallel computation on a single machine. This makes xgboost at least 10 times faster than existing gradient boosting implementations. It supports various objective functions, including regression, classification and ranking. Since it is very high in predi...
Understanding Principal Component Analysis(PCA)
Principal Component Analysis Implement from scratch and validate with sklearn framework Introduction : “Excess of EveryThing is Bad” The above line is specially in machine learning. When the data becomes too much in its dimension then it becomes a problem for pattern learning. Too much information is bad on two things : compute and execution time and quality of the model fit. When the dimension of the data is too high we need to find a way to reduce it. But that reduction has to be done in such a way that we maintain the original pattern of the data. The algorithm that we are going to discuss in this article does the similar job. The algorithm is quite famous and widely used in varieties of tasks. Its name is Principal Component Analysis aks PCA. The main purposes of a principal component...

We will mainly focus on the modeling side of it . The data cleaning and preprocessing parts would be covered in detail in an upcoming post. Ensemble methods are supervised learning models which combine the predictions of multiple smaller models to improve predictive power and generalization. The smaller models that combine to make the ensemble model are referred to as base models. Ensemble methods often result in considerably higher performance than any of the individual base models could achieve. Two popular families of ensemble methods BAGGING Several estimators are built independentl...

The method of combining trees is known as an ensemble method. En...
Polynomial Logistic Regression[Case Study]
Understand Power of Polynomials with Polynomial Regression Polynomial regression is a special case of linear regression. With the main idea of how do you select your features. Looking at the multivariate regression with 2 variables: x1 and x2. Linear regression will look like this: y = a1 * x1 + a2 * x2. Now you want to have a polynomial regression (let’s make 2 degree polynomial). We will create a few additional features: x1*x2, x1^2 and x2^2. So we will get your ‘linear regression’: y = a1 * x1 + a2 * x2 + a3 * x1*x2 + a4 * x1^2 + a5 * x2^2 A polynomial term : a quadratic (squared) or cubic (cubed) term turns a linear regression model into a curve. But because it is the data X that is squared or cubed, not the Beta coefficient, it still qualifies as a linear model. Thi...

Naive Bayes Algorithm [Case Study]
Simple Progression Towards Simple Linear Regression Introduction : It is a classification technique based on Bayes’ Theorem with an assumption of independence among predictors. In simple terms, a Naive Bayes classifier assumes that the presence of a particular feature in a class is unrelated to the presence of any other feature. For example, a dress may be considered to be a shirt if it is red, printed, and has full sleeve . Even if these features depend on each other or upon the existence of the other features, all of these properties independently contribute to the probability that this cloth is a shirt and that is why it is known as ‘Naive’. Classification Machine Learning is a technique of learning where a particular instance is mapped against one of the many labels. The labels are pre...
