Machine Learning Mastery: Create Test DataSets using Sklearn and Python

Create Test DataSets using Sklearn and Python

 

Python’s Sklearn library provides a great sample dataset generator which will help you to create your own custom dataset. It’s fast and very easy to use. Following are the types of samples it provides.

For all the above methods you need to import sklearn.datasets.samples_generator.

 

# importing libraries
from sklearn.datasets.samples_generator
 
# matplotlib for ploting
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt 
from matplotlib import style

sklearn.datasets.make_blobs

# Creating Test DataSets using sklearn.datasets.make_blobs
from sklearn.datasets.samples_generator import make_blobs
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt 
from matplotlib import style
 
style.use("fivethirtyeight")
 
X, y = make_blobs(n_samples = 100, centers = 3
               cluster_std = 1, n_features = 2)
 
plt.scatter(X[:, 0], X[:, 1], s = 40, color = 'g')
plt.xlabel("X")
plt.ylabel("Y")
 
plt.show()
plt.clf()

Output:

                                                                            make_blobs with 3 centers

sklearn.datasets.make_moon

# Creating Test DataSets using sklearn.datasets.make_moon
from sklearn.datasets.samples_generator import make_moon
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt 
from matplotlib import style
 
X, y = make_moons(n_samples = 1000, noise = 0.1)
plt.scatter(X[:, 0], X[:, 1], s = 40, color ='g')
plt.xlabel("X")
plt.ylabel("Y")
 
plt.show()
plt.clf()

Output:

                                                                  make_moons with 1000 data points

sklearn.datasets.make_circle

# Creating Test DataSets using sklearn.datasets.make_circles
from sklearn.datasets.samples_generator import make_circles
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt 
from matplotlib import style
 
style.use("fivethirtyeight")
 
X, y = make_circles(n_samples = 100, noise = 0.02)
plt.scatter(X[:, 0], X[:, 1], s = 40, color ='g')
plt.xlabel("X")
plt.ylabel("Y")
 
plt.show()
plt.clf()

Output:

                                                                           make _circle with 100 data points

 

Python Example for Beginners

Two Machine Learning Fields

There are two sides to machine learning:

  • Practical Machine Learning:This is about querying databases, cleaning data, writing scripts to transform data and gluing algorithm and libraries together and writing custom code to squeeze reliable answers from data to satisfy difficult and ill defined questions. It’s the mess of reality.
  • Theoretical Machine Learning: This is about math and abstraction and idealized scenarios and limits and beauty and informing what is possible. It is a whole lot neater and cleaner and removed from the mess of reality.
