## Introduction



daru (Data Analysis in RUby) is a library for storage, analysis, manipulation and visualization of data in Ruby.



daru makes it easy and intuitive to process data predominantly through 2 data structures:

`Daru::DataFrame` and `Daru::Vector`. Written in pure Ruby works with all ruby implementations.

Tested with MRI 2.5.1 and 2.7.1.



## daru plugin gems



- **[daru-view](https://github.com/SciRuby/daru-view)**



daru-view is for easy and interactive plotting in web application & IRuby 

notebook. It can work in any Ruby web application frameworks like Rails, Sinatra, Nanoc and hopefully in others too.



Articles/Blogs, that summarize powerful features of daru-view:



* [GSoC 2017 daru-view](http://sciruby.com/blog/2017/09/01/gsoc-2017-data-visualization-using-daru-view/)

* [GSoC 2018 Progress Report](https://github.com/SciRuby/daru-view/wiki/GSoC-2018---Progress-Report)

* [HighCharts Official blog post regarding daru-view](https://www.highcharts.com/blog/post/i-am-ruby-developer-how-can-i-use-highcharts/)



- **[daru-io](https://github.com/SciRuby/daru-io)**



This gem extends support for many Import and Export methods of `Daru::DataFrame`. This gem is intended to help Rubyists who are into Data Analysis or Web Development, by serving as a general purpose conversion library that takes input in one format (say, JSON) and converts it another format (say, Avro) while also making it incredibly easy to getting started on analyzing data with daru. One can read more in [SciRuby/blog/daru-io](http://sciruby.com/blog/2017/08/29/gsoc-2017-support-to-import-export-of-more-formats/).



## Features



* Data structures:

    - Vector - A basic 1-D vector.

    - DataFrame - A 2-D spreadsheet-like structure for manipulating and storing data sets. This is daru's primary data structure.

* Support for time series.

* Singly and hierarchically indexed data structures.

* Flexible and intuitive API for manipulation and analysis of data.

* Easy plotting, statistics and arithmetic.

* Plentiful iterators.

* Optional speed and space optimization on MRI with [NMatrix](https://github.com/SciRuby/nmatrix) and GSL.

* Easy splitting, aggregation and grouping of data.

* Quickly reducing data with pivot tables for quick data summary.

* Import and export data from and to Excel, CSV, SQL Databases, ActiveRecord and plain text files.

## Basic Usage



daru exposes two major data structures: `DataFrame` and `Vector`. The Vector is a basic 1-D structure corresponding to a labelled Array, while the `DataFrame` - daru's primary data structure - is 2-D spreadsheet-like structure for manipulating and storing data sets.



Basic DataFrame intitialization.



``` ruby

data_frame = Daru::DataFrame.new(

  {

    'Beer' => ['Kingfisher', 'Snow', 'Bud Light', 'Tiger Beer', 'Budweiser'],

    'Gallons sold' => [500, 400, 450, 200, 250]

  },

  index: ['India', 'China', 'USA', 'Malaysia', 'Canada']

)

data_frame

```

![init0](images/init0.png)



Load data from CSV files.

``` ruby

df = Daru::DataFrame.from_csv('TradeoffData.csv')

```

![init1](images/init1.png)



*Basic Data Manipulation*



Selecting rows.

``` ruby

data_frame.row['USA']

```

![man0](images/man0.png)



Selecting columns.

``` ruby

data_frame['Beer']

```

![man1](images/man1.png)



A range of rows.

``` ruby

data_frame.row['India'..'USA']

```

![man2](images/man2.png)



The first 2 rows.

``` ruby

data_frame.first(2)

```

![man3](images/man3.png)



The last 2 rows.

``` ruby

data_frame.last(2)

```

![man4](images/man4.png)



Adding a new column.

``` ruby

data_frame['Gallons produced'] = [550, 500, 600, 210, 240]

```

![man5](images/man5.png)



Creating a new column based on data in other columns.

``` ruby

data_frame['Demand supply gap'] = data_frame['Gallons produced'] - data_frame['Gallons sold']

```

![man6](images/man6.png)



*Condition based selection*



Selecting countries based on the number of gallons sold in each. We use a syntax similar to that defined by [Arel](https://github.com/rails/arel), i.e. by using the `where` clause.

``` ruby

data_frame.where(data_frame['Gallons sold'].lt(300))

```

![con0](images/con0.png)



You can pass a combination of boolean operations into the `#where` method and it should work fine:

``` ruby

data_frame.where(

  data_frame['Beer']

  .in(['Snow', 'Kingfisher','Tiger Beer'])

  .and(

    data_frame['Gallons produced'].gt(520).or(data_frame['Gallons produced'].lt(250))

  )

)

```

![con1](images/con1.png)



*Plotting*



Daru supports plotting of interactive graphs with [nyaplot](https://github.com/domitry/nyaplot). You can easily create a plot with the `#plot` method. Here we plot the gallons sold on the Y axis and name of the brand on the X axis in a bar graph.

``` ruby

data_frame.plot type: :bar, x: 'Beer', y: 'Gallons sold' do |plot, diagram|

  plot.x_label "Beer"

  plot.y_label "Gallons Sold"

  plot.yrange [0,600]

  plot.width 500

  plot.height 400

end

```

![plot0](images/plot0.png)



In addition to nyaplot, daru also supports plotting out of the box with [gnuplotrb](https://github.com/SciRuby/gnuplotrb).
