Introduction

Introduction

The conclusions drawn from data analysis are only as robust as the quality of the data itself. After obtaining raw text, the next natural step is to validate and clean it carefully. Even the slightest bias may risk the integrity of the results. Therefore, we must take great precautionary measures, which involve thorough inspection, to ensure sanity checks are performed on our data before we begin to understand it. This section should be the starting point for cleaning data in Haskell.

Real-world data often has an impurity that needs to be addressed before it can be processed. For example, extraneous whitespaces or punctuation could clutter data, making it difficult to parse. Duplication and data conflicts are another area of unintended consequences of reading real-world data. Sometimes it's just reassuring to know that data makes sense by conducting sanity checks. Some examples of sanity checks include matching regular expressions as well as detecting outliers by establishing...

Trimming excess whitespace

The text obtained from sources may unintentionally include beginning or trailing whitespace characters. When parsing such an input, it is often wise to trim the text. For example, when Haskell source code contains trailing whitespace, the GHC compiler ignores it through a process called lexing. The lexer produces a sequence of tokens, effectively ignoring meaningless characters such as excess whitespace.

In this recipe, we will use built-in libraries to make our own trim function.

How to do it...

Create a new file, which we will call Main.hs, and perform the following steps:

  1. Import the isSpace :: Char -> Bool function from the built-in Data.Char package:
    import Data.Char (isSpace)
  2. Write a trim function that removes the beginning and trailing whitespace:
    trim :: String -> String
trim = f . f
  where f = reverse . dropWhile isSpace
  3. Test it out within main:
    main :: IO ()
main = putStrLn $ trim " wahoowa! "
  4. Running the code will result in the following trimmed...

Ignoring punctuation and specific characters

Usually in natural language processing, some uninformative words or characters, called stop words, can be filtered out for easier handling. When computing word frequencies or extracting sentiment data from a corpus, punctuation or special characters might need to be ignored. This recipe demonstrates how to remove these specific characters from the body of a text.

How to do it...

There are no imports necessary. Create a new file, which we will call Main.hs, and perform the following steps:

  1. Implement main and define a string called quote. The back slashes (\) represent multiline strings:
    main :: IO ()
main = do
  let quote = "Deep Blue plays very good chess-so what?\ 
    \Does that tell you something about how we play chess?\
    \No. Does it tell you about how Kasparov envisions,\ 
    \understands a chessboard? (Douglas Hofstadter)"
  putStrLn $ (removePunctuation.replaceSpecialSymbols) quote
  2. Replace all punctuation marks with an empty...

Coping with unexpected or missing input

Data sources often contain incomplete and unexpected data. One common approach to parsing such data in Haskell is using the Maybe data type.

Imagine designing a function to find the nth element in a list of characters. A naïve implementation may have the type Int -> [Char] -> Char. However, if the function is trying to access an index out of bounds, we should try to indicate that an error has occurred.

A common way to deal with these errors is by encapsulating the output Char into a Maybe context. Having the type Int -> [Char] -> Maybe Char allows for some better error handling. The constructors for Maybe are Just a or Nothing, which will become apparent by running GHCi and testing out the following commands:

$ ghci

Prelude> :type Just 'c'
Just 'c' :: Maybe Char

Prelude> :type Nothing
Nothing :: Maybe a

We will set each field as a Maybe data type so that whenever a field cannot be parsed, it will simply be...

Validating records by matching regular expressions

A regular expression is a language for matching patterns in a string. Our Haskell code can process a regular expression to examine a text and tell us whether or not it matches the rules described by the expression. Regular expression matching can be used to validate or identify a pattern in the text.

In this recipe, we will read a corpus of English text to find possible candidates of full names in a sea of words. Full names usually consist of two words that start with a capital letter. We use this heuristic to extract all the names from an article.

Getting ready

Create an input.txt file with some text. In this example, we use a snippet from a New York Times article on dinosaurs (http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/17/science/earth/outsider-challenges-papers-on-growth-of-dinosaurs.html)

Other co-authors of Dr. Erickson's include Mark Norell, chairman of paleontology at the American Museum of Natural History; Philip Currie, a professor of dinosaur...

Lexing and parsing an e-mail address

An elegant way to clean data is by defining a lexer to split up a string into tokens. In this recipe, we will parse an e-mail address using the attoparsec library. This will naturally allow us to ignore the surrounding whitespace.

Getting ready

Import the attoparsec parser combinator library:

$ cabal install attoparsec

How to do it…

Create a new file, which we will call Main.hs, and perform the following steps:

  1. Use the GHC OverloadedStrings language extension to more legibly use the Text data type throughout the code. Also, import the other relevant libraries:

    {-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}
import Data.Attoparsec.Text
import Data.Char (isSpace, isAlphaNum)

  2. Declare a data type for an e-mail address:

    data E-mail = E-mail 
  { user :: String
  , host :: String
  } deriving Show

  3. Define how to parse an e-mail address. This function can be as simple or as complicated as required:

    e-mail :: Parser E-mail
e-mail = do
  skipSpace
  user <- many' $ satisfy isAlphaNum...

Deduplication of nonconflicting data items

Duplication is a common problem when collecting large amounts of data. In this recipe, we will combine similar records in a way that ensures no information is lost.

Getting ready

Create an input.csv file with repeated data:

How to do it...

Create a new file, which we will call Main.hs, and perform the following steps:

  1. We will be using the CSV, Map, and Maybe packages:

    import Text.CSV (parseCSV, Record)
import Data.Map (fromListWith)
import Control.Applicative ((<|>))

  2. Define the Item data type corresponding to the CSV input:

    data Item = Item   { name :: String
                   , color :: Maybe String
                   , cost :: Maybe Float
                   } deriving Show

  3. Get each record from CSV and put them in a map by calling our doWork function:

    main :: IO ()
main = do
  let fileName = "input.csv"
  input <- readFile fileName
  let csv = parseCSV fileName input
  either handleError doWork csv

  4. If we're unable to parse CSV, print an error message...

Deduplication of conflicting data items

Unfortunately, information about an item may be inconsistent throughout the corpus. Collision strategies are often domain-dependent, but one common way to manage this conflict is by simply storing all variations of the data. In this recipe, we will read a CSV file that contains information about musical artists and store all of the information about their songs and genres in a set.

Getting ready

Create a CSV input file with the following musical artists. The first column is for the name of the artist or band. The second column is the song name, and the third is the genre. Notice how some musicians have multiple songs or genres.

How to do it...

Create a new file, which we will call Main.hs, and perform the following steps:

  1. We will be using the CSV, Map, and Set packages:

    import Text.CSV (parseCSV, Record)
import Data.Map (fromListWith)
import qualified Data.Set as S

  2. Define the Artist data type corresponding to the CSV input. For fields that may contain conflicting...

Implementing a frequency table using Data.List

A frequency map of values is often useful to detect outliers. We can use it to identify frequencies that seem out of the ordinary. In this recipe, we will be counting the number of different colors in a list.

How to do it...

Create a new file, which we will call Main.hs, and perform the following steps:

  1. We will use the group and sort functions from Data.List:

    import Data.List (group, sort)

  2. Define a simple data type for colors:

    data Color = Red | Green | Blue deriving (Show, Ord, Eq)

  3. Create a list of these colors:

    main :: IO ()
main = do
  let items = [Red, Green, Green, Blue, Red, Green, Green]

  4. Implement the frequency map and print it out:

      let freq = 
     map (\x -> (head x, length x)) . group . sort $ items
  print freq

How it works...

Grouping identical items after sorting the list is the central idea.

See the following step-by-step evaluation in ghci:

Prelude> sort items

[Red,Red,Green,Green,Green,Green,Blue]
Prelude> group it

[[Red,Red...

Was intimidated by all the content within this book, but turns out it's very approachable! Lots of examples and different ways of explaining concepts. I'm already beginning to feel like I have a stronger grasp with Haskell, especially in the context to data science and statistics. I recommend this book to anyone who wants an intro to data analysis techniques for real-world use.

This book enumerates through dozens of important algorithms used in typical data analysis tasks. It’s one of the most practical and hands-on books on this subject for the Haskell programming language. The examples tie together nicely. I can easily copy and paste the code to test each algorithm. The author also provides the code for each recipe on GitHub.I would recommend this to anyone who has touched Haskell and is willing to explore more interesting applications.

Great idea, I have been looking for a cookbook like this for some time and I have been slowly working through the examples. The Haskell world needs books like this really badly as most documentation that you find focuses more on defining the functions rather than helping you use them.There are some typos here and there such that the compiler produces errors that are hard to understand if you're not already pretty good with Haskell. That had spoiled it a bit for me at first.However, the great news is that up to date source code is available on github and so as long as you get code from there rather than just copying from the book directly, you should be fine.

I thought this book would explain algorithms. It doesn't. It simply points to numerous libraries that already implement them.I like it, I will use it as a reference for libraries. But if you are expecting to find advice on implementing algorithms yourself, this is not the book for you.

Packt Publishing recently asked me to write a review of the book Haskell Data Analysis Cookbook by Nishant Shukla. The book is broken into small sections that show you how to do a particular task related to data analysis. These tasks vary from reading a csv file or parsing json to listening to a stream of tweets.I’m not a Haskell programmer. My Haskell experience is limited to reading some books (Learn You a Haskell for Great Good and most of Real World Haskell) and solving some toy problems. All of reading and programming happened years ago though so I’m out of practice.This book is not for a programmer that is unfamiliar with Haskell. If you’ve never studied it before you’ll find yourself turning towards documentation. If you enter this book with a solid understanding of functional programming you can get by with a smaller understanding of Haskell but you will not get much from the book.I’ve only read a few cookbook style books and this one followed the usual format. It will be more useful as a quick reference than as something you would read through. It doesn’t dive deep into any topic but does point you toward libraries for various tasks and shows a short example of using them.A common critic I have of most code examples applies to this book. Most examples do not do qualified imports of namespaces or selective imports of functions from namespaces. This is especially useful when your examples might be read by people who are not be familiar with the languages standard libraries. Reading code and immediately knowing where a function comes from is incredibly useful to understanding.The code for this book is available on GitHub. It is useful to look at the full example for a section. The examples in the book are broken into parts with English explanations and I found that made it hard to fully understand how the code fit together. Looking at the examples in the GitHub repo helped.RecommendationI’d recommend this book for Haskell programmers who find the table of contents interesting. If you read the table of contents and think it would be useful to have a shallow introduction to the topics listed then you’ll find this book useful. It doesn’t give a detailed dive into anything but at least gives you a starting point.If you either learning Haskell or using Haskell then this book doesn’t have much to offer you.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
