modelscript

Description

modelscript is a javascript module with simple and efficient tools for data mining and data analysis in JavaScript. modelscript can be used with ML.js, pandas-js, and numjs, to approximate the equialent R/Python tool chain in JavaScript.

In Python, data preperation is typically done in a DataFrame, modelscript encourages a more R like workflow where the data prepration is in it's native structure.

Installation

$ npm i modelscript

Examples (JavaScript / Python / R)

Loading CSV Data

Javascript

import { default as jsk } from 'modelscript';
let dataset;

//In JavaScript, by default most I/O Operations are asynchronous, see the notes section for more
ms.loadCSV('/some/file/path.csv')
  .then(csvData=>{
    dataset = new ms.DataSet(csvData);
    console.log({csvData});
    /* csvData [{
      'Country': 'Brazil',
      'Age': '44',
      'Salary': '72000',
      'Purchased': 'N',
    },
    ...
    {
      'Country': 'Mexico',
      'Age': '27',
      'Salary': '48000',
      'Purchased': 'Yes',
    }] */
  })
  .catch(console.error);

// or from URL
ms.loadCSV('https://example.com/some/file/path.csv')

Python

import pandas as pd

#Importing the dataset
dataset = pd.read_csv('/some/file/path.csv')

R

# Importingd the dataset
dataset = read.csv('Data.csv')

Handling Missing Data

Javascript

//column Array returns column of data by name
// [ '44','27','30','38','40','35','','48','50', '37' ]
const OringalAgeColumn = dataset.columnArray('Age'); 

//column Replace returns new Array with replaced missing data
//[ '44','27','30','38','40','35',38.77777777777778,'48','50','37' ]
const ReplacedAgeMeanColumn = dataset.columnReplace('Age',{strategy:'mean'}); 

//fit Columns, mutates dataset
dataset.fitColumns({
  columns:[{name:'Age',strategy:'mean'}]
});
/*
dataset
class DataSet
  data:[
    {
      'Country': 'Brazil',
      'Age': '38.77777777777778',
      'Salary': '72000',
      'Purchased': 'N',
    }
    ...
  ]
*/

Python

X = dataset.iloc[:, :-1].values
y = dataset.iloc[:, 3].values

# Taking care of of missing data
from sklearn.preprocessing import Imputer
imputer = Imputer(missing_values='NaN', strategy = 'mean', axis=0)
imputer = imputer.fit(X[:, 1:3])
X[:, 1:3] = imputer.transform(X[:, 1:3])

R

# Taking care of the missing data
dataset$Age = ifelse(is.na(dataset$Age),
                ave(dataset$Age,FUN = function(x) mean(x,na.rm =TRUE)),
                dataset$Age)

One Hot Encoding and Label Encoding

Javascript

// [ 'Brazil','Mexico','Ghana','Mexico','Ghana','Brazil','Mexico','Brazil','Ghana', 'Brazil' ]
const originalCountry = dataset.columnArray('Country'); 
/*
{ originalCountry:
   { Country_Brazil: [ 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1 ],
     Country_Mexico: [ 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0 ],
     Country_Ghana: [ 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0 ] },
    }
*/
const oneHotCountryColumn = dataset.oneHotEncoder('Country'); 

// [ 'N', 'Yes', 'No', 'f', 'Yes', 'Yes', 'false', 'Yes', 'No', 'Yes' ] 
const originalPurchasedColumn = dataset.labelEncoder('Purchased');
// [ 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1 ]
const encodedBinaryPurchasedColumn = dataset.labelEncoder('Purchased',{ binary:true });
// [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 1, 1, 4, 1, 2, 1 ]
const encodedPurchasedColumn = dataset.labelEncoder('Purchased'); 
// [ 'N', 'Yes', 'No', 'f', 'Yes', 'Yes', 'false', 'Yes', 'No', 'Yes' ] 
const decodedPurchased = dataset.labelDecode('Purchased', { data: encodedPurchasedColumn, });


//fit Columns, mutates dataset
dataset.fitColumns({
  columns:[
    {
      name: 'Purchased',
      options: {
        strategy: 'label',
        labelOptions: {
          binary: true,
        },
      },
    },
    {
      name: 'Country',
      options: {
        strategy: 'onehot',
      },
    },
  ]
});

Python

# Encoding  categorical data
from sklearn.preprocessing import LabelEncoder, OneHotEncoder
labelencoder_X = LabelEncoder()
X[:, 0] = labelencoder_X.fit_transform(X[:, 0])
onehotencoder = OneHotEncoder(categorical_features=[0])
X = onehotencoder.fit_transform(X).toarray()
labelencoder_y = LabelEncoder()
y = labelencoder_y.fit_transform(y)

R

# Encoding categorical data
dataset$Country = factor(dataset$Country,
                         levels = c('Brazil', 'Mexico', 'Ghana'),
                         labels = c(1, 2, 3))

dataset$Purchased = factor(dataset$Purchased,
                         levels = c('No', 'Yes'),
                         labels = c(0, 1))

Cross Validation

Javascript

const testArray = [20, 25, 10, 33, 50, 42, 19, 34, 90, 23, ];

// { train: [ 50, 20, 34, 33, 10, 23, 90, 42 ], test: [ 25, 19 ] }
const trainTestSplit = ms.cross_validation.train_test_split(testArray,{ test_size:0.2, random_state: 0, });

// [ [ 50, 20, 34, 33, 10 ], [ 23, 90, 42, 19, 25 ] ] 
const crossValidationArrayKFolds = ms.cross_validation.cross_validation_split(testArray, { folds: 2, random_state: 0, });

Python

#splitting the dataset into trnaing set and test set
from sklearn.cross_validation import train_test_split
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size = 0.2, random_state = 0)

R

# Splitting the dataset into the training set and test set
library(caTools)
set.seed(1)
split = sample.split(dataset$Purchased, SplitRatio = 0.8)
training_set = subset(dataset, split == TRUE)
test_set = subset(dataset, split == FALSE)

Scaling (z-score / min-mix)

Javascript

dataset.columnArray('Salary',{ scale:'standard'}); 
dataset.columnArray('Salary',{ scale:'minmax'}); 

Python

from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler
sc_X = StandardScaler()
X_train = sc_X.fit_transform(X_train)
X_test = sc_X.transform(X_test)

A quick word about asynchronous JavaScript

Most machine learning tutorials in Python and R are not using their asynchronous equivalents; however, there is a bias in JavaScript to default to non-blocking operations.

With the advent of ES7 and Node.js 7+ there are syntax helpers with asynchronous functions. It may be easier to use async/await in JS if you want an approximation close to what a workflow would look like in R/Python

import * as fs from 'fs-extra';
import * as np from 'numjs'; 
import { default as ml } from 'ml';
import { default as pd } from 'pandas-js';
import { default as mpn } from 'matplotnode';
import { loadCSV, preprocessing } from 'modelscript';
const plt = mpn.plot;

void async () => {
  const csvData = await loadCSV('../Data.csv');
  const rawData = new preprocessing.DataSet(csvData);
  const fittedData = rawData.fitColumns({
    columns: [
      { name: 'Age' },
      { name: 'Salary' },
      {
        name: 'Purchased',
        options: {
          strategy: 'label',
          labelOptions: {
            binary: true,
          },
        }
      },
    ]
  });
  const dataset = new pd.DataFrame(fittedData);
  const X = dataset.iloc(
    [ 0, dataset.length ],
    [ 0, 3 ]).values;
  const y = dataset.iloc(
    [ 0, dataset.length ],
    3).values;
  console.log({
    X,
    y
  });
}();

Misc

As of Node 8, ES modules are still used behind a flag, when running natively as an ES module

$ node --experimental-modules my-machine-learning-script.mjs 
# Also there are native bindings that require Python 2.x, make sure if you're using Andaconda, you build with your Python 2.x bin
$ npm i --python=/usr/bin/python
