Creating a Stacked and Grouped Bar Chart with Pandas and Matplotlib Using Customization Options
Creating a Stacked and Grouped Bar Chart with Pandas and Matplotlib In this article, we will explore how to create a stacked bar chart where the X-axis values/labels are given by the MainCategory groups, on the left Y-axis, the DurationH is used, and on the right Y-axis, the Number is used. We will also cover how to use subcategories for stacking. Introduction The problem presented in this question is often encountered when dealing with grouped data.

Converting Time Series Dataframe to Input of Univariate LSTM Classifier: A Step-by-Step Guide
Converting Time Series Dataframe to Input of Univariate LSTM Classifier Introduction The problem of converting a time series dataframe into an input for an univariate LSTM classifier is a common challenge in machine learning and deep learning applications. In this article, we will delve into the details of how to achieve this conversion and provide guidance on overcoming potential obstacles. Understanding the Time Series Dataframe A typical time series dataframe has the shape (n_samples, n_features), where n_samples is the number of data points in each row (i.

Splitting Delimiter-Separated Key-Value Pairs in R DataFrames with Tidyr, Dplyr, and Stringr
Manipulating Delimiter-Separated Key-Value Pairs in DataFrames This article will cover the process of splitting a column of delimiter-separated key-value pairs into new columns, using R programming language and its popular libraries: tidyr, dplyr, and stringr. Understanding the Problem Many real-world datasets contain columns with delimiter-separated key-value pairs. This is particularly common in data related to records or transactions, where each record may have multiple values associated with it. For instance, consider a dataset of customers, where each customer’s information might be represented as:

Using lapply to Size Objects in an Environment Correctly with parse() and eval()
Using lapply to Size Objects in an Environment In R, environments play a crucial role in managing data structures and objects. The ls() function returns a list of characters representing the names of objects within an environment. However, when we try to use lapply on this list of characters, it does not behave as expected due to how it handles object names. In this article, we will delve into the world of R environments and explore how to use lapply to size objects in a way that ensures correct behavior.

Setting Custom X-Axis Limits When Plotting Generalized Additive Models in R
Plotting GAM in R: Setting Custom x-axis Limits? When working with Generalized Additive Models (GAMs) in R, it’s often desirable to plot the predicted fits for these models. However, one common challenge is setting custom x-axis limits, especially when dealing with categorical or grouped data. In this article, we’ll explore how to set custom x-axis limits when plotting GAM models in R, using the gratia package and its smooth_estimates() function.

Optimizing Cosine Distance Calculations with Sparse Vectors in Pandas Dataframes
Understanding Sparse Vectors and Dataframes In modern machine learning and data analysis, sparse vectors are a common phenomenon. These vectors contain mostly zeros with only a few non-zero elements, making them much more efficient to store and process compared to dense vectors. The question of how to efficiently convert a pandas dataframe containing sparse vector columns into a dictionary for cosine distance calculations is an important one. Background: Pandas Dataframes and Sparse Matrices A pandas dataframe is a two-dimensional labeled data structure with columns of potentially different types.
