  1. Relevant software and getting it installed. Peter Fox Data Analytics – ITWS-4963/ITWS-6965 Week 1b, January 24, 2014

  2. Admin info (keep/ print this slide) • Class: ITWS-4963/ITWS 6965 • Hours: 12:00pm-1:50pm Tuesday/ Friday • Location: SAGE 3101 • Instructor: Peter Fox • Instructor contact: pfox@cs.rpi.edu, 518.276.4862 (do not leave a msg) • Contact hours: Monday** 3:00-4:00pm (or by email appt) • Contact location: Winslow 2120 (sometimes Lally 207A announced by email) • TA: Lakshmi Chenicheri chenil@rpi.edu • Web site: http://tw.rpi.edu/web/courses/DataAnalytics/2014 • Schedule, lectures, syllabus, reading, assignments, etc.

  3. Today • Install application software • Get some data and read, explore, etc. • Install data technology and related software

  4. Gnu R • R Studio – see R-intro.html in manualshttp://www.rstudio.com/ide/download/ • Manuals - http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/ • Libraries – at the command line – library(), or select the packages tab, and check/ uncheck as needed • http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-lang.html

  5. Scipy/numpy/ iPython (NB) • Windows/Linux • http://scipy.org/install.html • If you have a Mac • Anaconda – http://continuum.io/downloads (preferred) • Use Launcher to install Spyder (and iPQt) • Do you have macports installed? ‘$ which port’ • No? (sorry – ask me for details…) • Install Xcode (from http://developer.apple.com/download - you will need to register - academic) • http://www.macports.org/install.php • Also see individual packages on the install page.. • http://scipy.org/getting-started.html

  6. Matlab • http://dotcio.rpi.edu/services/software-labs • Student version • License works within RPI network, so may have to use VPN if outside • http://mathesaurus.sourceforge.net/octave-r.html R for Matlab users

  7. Files • http://escience.rpi.edu/data/DA • This is where the files for assignments, exercise will be placed

  8. Exercises – getting data in • Rstudio • read in csv file (two ways to do this) - GPW3_GRUMP_SummaryInformation_2010.csv • Read in excel file (directly or by csvconvert) - 2010EPI_data.xls (2010EPI_data tab) • See if you can plot some variables • Anything in common between them?

  9. Exercises • Scipy • In Spyder read in a matlab file: • import scipy.io as sio • mat_contents= sio.loadmat(‘Williams40.mat’) • mat_contents • Explore – plot, etc. • Read in a csv file (your choice) • Write out as matlab file, i.e. sio.savemat (see File I/O help http://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/tutorial/io.html ) • http://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/tutorial/stats.html - start looking

  10. Exercises • Matlab • Read in two different datasets: • sw40_30s.mat or sw29adcp.mat • UChicago30.mat or Williams40.mat • Explore them… • Read in the csv files

  11. If time or for fun… • se_eqs.xls • Plot it • Fit it • PRESSURE.xls • Plot it • Smooth it • Fit it …

  12. Install-fest… continues • http://projects.apache.org/indexes/category.html#database • Hadoop(MapReduce) • Pig (http://wiki.apache.org/pig/RunPig ) • HIVE (http://hive.apache.org/releases.html ) • https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/GettingStarted • https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Tutorial • https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual • Cassandra (binaries from DataStax) • And MongoDB - http://www.mongodb.org/

  13. Objective • Get a good feel for the complexity and maturity of the data and tools environments • See some real data and start to consider what it will take to work with it • Big and complex - means time and memory and laptops only can do so much • We’ll soon look at the intersections like RHadoop: https://github.com/RevolutionAnalytics/RHadoop/wiki

  14. No more reading this week • Complete the installs as best you can • Pick your preferred application and data software and read up on them, try some examples
