DataCrunchers (PogromcyDanych) is the Massive Online Open Course that Brings R and Statistics to the People

The data sets used in the online course ,,PogromcyDanych''. You can process data in many ways. The course Data Crunchers will introduce you to this variety. For this reason we will work on datasets of different size (from several to several hundred thousand rows), with various level of complexity (from two to two thousand columns) and prepared in different formats (text data, quantitative data and qualitative data). All of these data sets were gathered in a single big package called PogromcyDanych to facilitate access to them. It contains all sorts of data sets such as data about offer prices of cars, results of opinion polls, information about changes in stock market indices, data about names given to newborn babies, ski jumping results or information about outcomes of breast cancer patients treatment.

Concept Drift and Concept Shift Detection for Predictive Models

Concept drift refers to the change in the data distribution or in the relationships between variables over time. 'drifter' calculates distances between variable distributions or variable relations and identifies both types of drift. Key functions are: calculate_covariate_drift() checks distance between corresponding variables in two datasets, calculate_residuals_drift() checks distance between residual distributions for two models, calculate_model_drift() checks distance between partial dependency profiles for two models, check_drift() executes all checks against drift. 'drifter' is a part of the 'DrWhy.AI' universe (Biecek 2018) .

Datasets and Functions Used in the Book 'Przewodnik po Pakiecie R'

Data sets and functions used in the polish book "Przewodnik po pakiecie R" (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the R). See more at < http://biecek.pl/R>. Among others you will find here data about housing prices, cancer patients, running times and many others.

Flexible Tool for Bias Detection, Visualization, and Mitigation

Measure fairness metrics in one place for many models. Check how big is model's bias towards different races, sex, nationalities etc. Use measures such as Statistical Parity, Equal odds to detect the discrimination against unprivileged groups. Visualize the bias using heatmap, radar plot, biplot, bar chart (and more!). There are various pre-processing and post-processing bias mitigation algorithms implemented. Package also supports calculating fairness metrics for regression models. Find more details in (Wiśniewski, Biecek (2021)) .

Ceteris Paribus Profiles

Ceteris Paribus Profiles (What-If Plots) are designed to present model responses around selected points in a feature space. For example around a single prediction for an interesting observation. Plots are designed to work in a model-agnostic fashion, they are working for any predictive Machine Learning model and allow for model comparisons. Ceteris Paribus Plots supplement the Break Down Plots from 'breakDown' package.

The Proton Game

'The Proton Game' is a console-based data-crunching game for younger and older data scientists. Act as a data-hacker and find Slawomir Pietraszko's credentials to the Proton server. You have to solve four data-based puzzles to find the login and password. There are many ways to solve these puzzles. You may use loops, data filtering, ordering, aggregation or other tools. Only basics knowledge of R is required to play the game, yet the more functions you know, the more approaches you can try. The knowledge of dplyr is not required but may be very helpful. This game is linked with the ,,Pietraszko's Cave'' story available at http://biecek.pl/BetaBit/Warsaw. It's a part of Beta and Bit series. You will find more about the Beta and Bit series at http://biecek.pl/BetaBit.

Tools for Storing, Restoring and Searching for R Objects

Data exploration and modelling is a process in which a lot of data artifacts are produced. Artifacts like: subsets, data aggregates, plots, statistical models, different versions of data sets and different versions of results. The more projects we work with the more artifacts are produced and the harder it is to manage these artifacts. Archivist helps to store and manage artifacts created in R. Archivist allows you to store selected artifacts as a binary files together with their metadata and relations. Archivist allows to share artifacts with others, either through shared folder or github. Archivist allows to look for already created artifacts by using it's class, name, date of the creation or other properties. Makes it easy to restore such artifacts. Archivist allows to check if new artifact is the exact copy that was produced some time ago. That might be useful either for testing or caching.

Mini Games from Adventures of Beta and Bit

Three games: proton, frequon and regression. Each one is a console-based data-crunching game for younger and older data scientists. Act as a data-hacker and find Slawomir Pietraszko's credentials to the Proton server. In proton you have to solve four data-based puzzles to find the login and password. There are many ways to solve these puzzles. You may use loops, data filtering, ordering, aggregation or other tools. Only basics knowledge of R is required to play the game, yet the more functions you know, the more approaches you can try. In frequon you will help to perform statistical cryptanalytic attack on a corpus of ciphered messages. This time seven sub-tasks are pushing the bar much higher. Do you accept the challenge? In regression you will test your modeling skills in a series of eight sub-tasks. Try only if ANOVA is your close friend. It's a part of Beta and Bit project. You will find more about the Beta and Bit project at < https://github.com/BetaAndBit/Charts>.

LIME-Based Explanations with Interpretable Inputs Based on Ceteris Paribus Profiles

Local explanations of machine learning models describe, how features contributed to a single prediction. This package implements an explanation method based on LIME (Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations, see Tulio Ribeiro, Singh, Guestrin (2016) ) in which interpretable inputs are created based on local rather than global behaviour of each original feature.

A Set of Datasets Used in My Classes or in the Book 'Modele Liniowe i Mieszane w R, Wraz z Przykladami w Analizie Danych'

A set of datasets and functions used in the book 'Modele liniowe i mieszane w R, wraz z przykladami w analizie danych'. Datasets either come from real studies or are created to be as similar as possible to real studies.
