class="markdown"><h1>tech.ml.dataset Walkthrough</h1>
<p>Let's take a moment to walkthrough the <code>tech.ml.dataset</code> system. This system was built
over the course of a few months in order to make working with columnar data easier
in the same manner as one would work with <code>data.table</code> in R or <code>pandas</code> in Python. While
it takes design inspiration from these sources it does not strive to be a copy in any
way but rather an extension to the core Clojure language that is built for good
performance when processing datasets of realistic sizes which in our case means
millions of rows and tens of columns.</p>
<h2>High Level Design</h2>
<p>Logically, a dataset is a map of column name to column data. Column data is typed
so for instance you may have a column of 16 bit integers or 64 bit floating point
numbers. Column names may be any java object and column values may be of the
tech.datatype primitive, datetime, or objects. Data is stored contiguously in jvm
arrays while missing values are indicated with bitsets.</p>
<p>Given this definition, the intention is to allow more or less normal flows familiar
to most Clojure programmers:</p>
<ol>
<li>Dataset creation in the form of csv,tsv (and gzipped varieties of these), maps of
column name to column values, and arbitrary sequences of maps.</li>
<li>Pretty printing of datasets and, to a lesser extent, columns. Simple selection of
a given column and various functions describing the details of a column.</li>
<li>Access to the values in a column including eliding or erroring on missing values.</li>
<li>Select subrect of dataset defined by a sequence of columns and some sequence of
indexes.</li>
<li><code>sort-by</code>, <code>filter</code>, <code>group-by</code> are modified operations that operate on a
logical sequence of maps and an arbitrary function but return a new dataset.</li>
<li>Efficient elementwise operations such as linear combinations of columns.</li>
<li>Statistical and ml-based analysis of some subset of columns either on their own
or as they relate to another <code>target</code> column.</li>
<li>Conversion of the dataset to sequences of maps, sequences of persistent vectors, and
rowwise sequences of java arrays of a chosen primitive datatype.</li>
</ol>
<h2>Dataset Creation</h2>
<h4>-&gt;dataset -&gt;&gt;dataset</h4>
<p>Dataset creation can happen in many ways. For data in csv, tsv, or sequence of maps
format there are two functions that differ in where the data is passed in, <code>-&gt;dataset</code>
and <code>-&gt;&gt;dataset</code>. These functions several arguments:</p>
<ul>
<li>A <code>String</code> or <code>InputStream</code> will be interpreted as a file (or gzipped file if it
ends with .gz) of tsv or csv data. The system will attempt to autodetect if this
is csv or tsv and then has some extensive engineering put into column datatype
detection mechanisms which can be overridden.</li>
<li>A sequence of maps may be passed in in which case the first N maps are scanned in
order to derive the column datatypes before the actual columns are created.</li>
</ul>

<h4>CSV/TSV/MAPSEQ/XLS/XLSX Parsing Options</h4>
<p>It is important to note that there are many options for parsing files.
A few important ones are column allowlist/blocklists, num records,
and ways to specify exactly how to parse the string data:</p>

<p>You can also supply a tuple of <code>[datatype parse-fn]</code> if you have a specific
datatype and parse function you want to use. For datetime types <code>parse-fn</code>
can additionally be a DateTimeFormat format string or a DateTimeFormat object:</p>

<h4>Map Of Columns Format</h4>
<p>Given a map of name-&gt;column data produce a new dataset. If column data is untyped
(like a persistent vector) then the column datatype is either string or double,
dependent upon the first entry of the column data sequence.</p>
<p>If the column data is one of the object numeric primitive types, so
<code>Float</code> as opposed to <code>float</code>, then missing elements will be marked as
missing and the default empty-value will be used in the primitive storage.</p>
<pre><code class="language-clojure">
user&gt; (ds/-&gt;dataset {:age [1 2 3 4 5] :name ["a" "b" "c" "d" "e"]})
_unnamed [5 2]:
| :age | :name |
|------|-------|
| 1 | a |
| 2 | b |
| 3 | c |
| 4 | d |
| 5 | e |
</code></pre>
<h2>Printing</h2>
<p>Printing out datasets comes in several flavors. Datasets support multiline printing:</p>
<pre><code class="language-clojure">user&gt; (require '[tech.v3.tensor :as dtt])
nil
user&gt; (def test-tens (dtt/-&gt;tensor (partition 3 (range 9))))
#'user/test-tens
user&gt; (ds/-&gt;dataset [{:a 1 :b test-tens}{:a 2 :b test-tens}])
_unnamed [2 2]:
| :a | :b |
|----|------------------------------|
| 1 | #tech.v3.tensor&lt;object&gt;[3 3] |
| | [[0 1 2] |
| | [3 4 5] |
| | [6 7 8]] |
| 2 | #tech.v3.tensor&lt;object&gt;[3 3] |
| | [[0 1 2] |
| | [3 4 5] |
| | [6 7 8]] |
</code></pre>
<p>You can provide options to control printing via the metadata of the dataset:</p>
<pre><code class="language-clojure">user&gt; (def tens-ds *1)
#'user/tens-ds
user&gt; (with-meta tens-ds
(assoc (meta tens-ds)
:print-line-policy :single))
_unnamed [2 2]:
| :a | :b |
|----|------------------------------|
| 1 | #tech.v3.tensor&lt;object&gt;[3 3] |
| 2 | #tech.v3.tensor&lt;object&gt;[3 3] |
</code></pre>
<p>This is especially useful when dealing with new datasets that may have large amounts
of per-column data:</p>
<pre><code class="language-clojure">user&gt; (def events-ds (-&gt; (ds/-&gt;dataset "https://api.github.com/events"
{:key-fn keyword
:file-type :json})
(vary-meta assoc :print-line-policy :single
:print-column-max-width 25)))
#'user/events-ds
user&gt; (ds/head events-ds)
https://api.github.com/events [5 8]:

<p>The full list of possible options is provided in the documentation for <a href="https://techascent.github.io/tech.ml.dataset/tech.v3.dataset.print.html">dataset-data-&gt;str</a>.</p>
<h2>Basic Dataset Manipulation</h2>
<p>Dataset are implementations of <code>clojure.lang.IPersistentMap</code>. They strictly
respect column ordering, however, unlike persistent maps.</p>
<pre><code class="language-clojure">
user&gt; (def new-ds (ds/-&gt;dataset [{:a 1 :b 2} {:a 2 :c 3}]))
#'user/new-ds
user&gt; new-ds
_unnamed [2 3]:
| :a | :b | :c |
|----|----|----|
| 1 | 2 | |
| 2 | | 3 |
user&gt; (first new-ds)
[:a #tech.v3.dataset.column&lt;int64&gt;[2]
:a
[1, 2, ]]
user&gt; (new-ds :c)
#tech.v3.dataset.column&lt;int64&gt;[2]
:c
[, 3, ]
user&gt; (ds/missing (new-ds :b))
{1}
user&gt; (ds/missing (new-ds :c))
{0}
</code></pre>
<p>It is safe to print out very large columns. The system will only print out the first
20 or values. In this way it can be useful to get a feel for the data in a particular
column.</p>
<h2>Access To Column Values</h2>
<p>Columns implement <code>clojure.lang.Indexed</code> (provides nth) and also implement
<code>clojure.lang.IFn</code> in the same manner as persistent vectors.</p>
<pre><code class="language-clojure">user&gt; (ds/-&gt;dataset {:age [1 2 3 4 5]

<p>In the same vein, you can access entire rows of the dataset as a reader that converts
the data either into a persistent vector in the same column-order as the dataset or
a sequence of maps with each entry named. This type of conversion does not include
any mapping to or from labelled values so as such represented the dataset as it is
stored in memory:</p>

<p>These functions do conceptually the same thing but the dataset is the <em>first</em> argument
so when we build large pipelines of dataset functionaly we don't have to switch the
argument orders. They have per-column versions that are more efficient than the
whole-dataset versions.</p>
<p>The whole-dataset version pass in each row as a map so it is conceptually similar to doing
something like <code>(-&gt;&gt; (ds/mapseq-reader ds) (clojure.core/filter pred))</code>.</p>

<h4>Rowwise Operations</h4>
<p>Datasets have efficient parallelized mechanisms of presenting data for rowwise map and mapcat
operations. The maps passed into the mapping functions are maps that lazily read
only the required data from the underlying dataset. The returned maps will be
scanned to gather datatype and missing information. Columns derived from the mapping
operation will overwrite columns in the original dataset.</p>
<p>The mapping operations are run in parallel using a primitive named <code>pmap-ds</code> and the resulting
datasets can either be returned in a sequence or combined into a single larger dataset.</p>

<h2>Writing A Dataset Out</h2>
<p>These forms are supported for writing out a dataset:</p>
<pre><code class="language-clojure">(ds/write! test-ds "test.csv")
(ds/write! test-ds "test.tsv")
(ds/write! test-ds "test.tsv.gz")
(ds/write! test-ds "test.nippy")
(ds/write! test-ds out-stream)
</code></pre>
<p>We have good support for <a href="nippy-serialization-rocks.html">nippy</a> in which case
datasets work just like any other datastructure. This format allows some level of
compression but about 10X-100X the loading performance of gzipped csv/tsv. In addition,
you can write out heterogeneous datastructures that contain datasets and other things
such as the result of a group-by:</p>
<pre><code class="language-clojure">user&gt; (require '[taoensso.nippy :as nippy])
nil
user&gt; (def byte-data (nippy/freeze (ds/group-by stocks :symbol)))
#'user/byte-data
user&gt; (type byte-data)
[B
user&gt; (keys (nippy/thaw byte-data))
("MSFT" "GOOG" "AAPL" "IBM" "AMZN")
user&gt; (first (nippy/thaw byte-data))
["MSFT"
