Tools for Accessing Various Datasets Developed by the Foundation SmarterPoland.pl

Tools for accessing and processing datasets prepared by the Foundation SmarterPoland.pl. Among all: access to API of Google Maps, Central Statistical Office of Poland, MojePanstwo, Eurostat, WHO and other sources.

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.

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.

Explore Correlations Between Variables in a Machine Learning Model

When exploring data or models we often examine variables one by one. This analysis is incomplete if the relationship between these variables is not taken into account. The 'corrgrapher' package facilitates simultaneous exploration of the Partial Dependence Profiles and the correlation between variables in the model. The package 'corrgrapher' is a part of the 'DrWhy.AI' universe.

Local Interpretable (Model-Agnostic) Visual Explanations

Interpretability of complex machine learning models is a growing concern. This package helps to understand key factors that drive the decision made by complicated predictive model (so called black box model). This is achieved through local approximations that are either based on additive regression like model or CART like model that allows for higher interactions. The methodology is based on Tulio Ribeiro, Singh, Guestrin (2016) . More details can be found in Staniak, Biecek (2018) .

Tools for Archiving, Managing and Sharing R Objects via GitHub

The extension of the 'archivist' package integrating the archivist with GitHub via GitHub API, 'git2r' packages and 'httr' package.

Stochastic Gradient Descent log-Likelihood Estimation in Cox Proportional Hazards Model

Estimate coefficients of Cox proportional hazards model using stochastic gradient descent algorithm for batch data.

Variable Importance via Oscillations

Provides an easy to calculate local variable importance measure based on Ceteris Paribus profile and global variable importance measure based on Partial Dependence Profiles.

Assisted Model Building, using Surrogate Black-Box Models to Train Interpretable Spline Based Additive Models

Builds generalized linear model with automatic data transformation. The 'xspliner' helps to build simple, interpretable models that inherits informations provided by more complicated ones. The resulting model may be treated as explanation of provided black box, that was supplied prior to the algorithm.

Model Audit - Verification, Validation, and Error Analysis

Provides an easy to use unified interface for creating validation plots for any model. The 'auditor' helps to avoid repetitive work consisting of writing code needed to create residual plots. This visualizations allow to asses and compare the goodness of fit, performance, and similarity of models.
