Tablesaw provides the ability to easily transform, summarize, and filter data, as well as computing descriptive statistics. It can also be used easily with libraries like Smile, which provides fundamental machine learning algorithms.
This notebook has some basic demos of how to use Tablesaw, including visualizing the results for which it uses the BeakerX interactive visualization APIs. Tablesaw also provides its own visualization APIs if you wish to do visualization outside of BeakerX. The notebook covers basic table manipulation, k-means clustering, linear regression, and fetching financial data.

K-means is the most common form of “centroid” clustering. Unlike classification, clustering is an unsupervised learning method. The categories are not predetermined. Instead, the goal is to search for natural groupings in the dataset, such that the members of each group are similar to each other and different from the members of the other groups. The K represents the number of groups to find.
We’ll use a well known Scotch Whiskey dataset, which is used to cluster whiskeys according to their taste based on data collected from tasting notes. As always, we start by loading data and printing its structure.
whiskeyData = Table.read().csv("../resources/data/whiskey.csv")
whiskeyData.structure()
kMeans = new KMeans(whiskeyData.as().doubleMatrix("Body", "Sweetness", "Smoky", "Medicinal", "Tobacco", "Honey", "Spicy", "Winey", "Nutty", "Malty", "Fruity", "Floral"), 5)
Table whiskeyClusters = Table.create("Clusters", whiskeyData.stringColumn("Distillery"), DoubleColumn.create("Cluster", kMeans.getClusterLabel()));
whiskeyClusters = whiskeyClusters.sortAscendingOn("Cluster", "Distillery");
In baseball, you make the playoffs by winning more games than your rivals. The number of games the rivals win is out of your control so the A’s looked instead at how many wins it took historically to make the playoffs. They decided that 95 wins would give them a strong chance. Here’s how we might check that assumption in Tablesaw.
baseball = Table.read().csv("../resources/data/baseball.csv");
// filter to the data available at the start of the 2002 season
moneyball = baseball.where(baseball.numberColumn("year").isLessThan(2002));
wins = moneyball.nCol("W");
year = moneyball.nCol("Year");
playoffs = moneyball.column("Playoffs");
runDifference = moneyball.numberColumn("RS").subtract(moneyball.numberColumn("RA")).setName("RD");
moneyball.addColumns(runDifference);
def Plot = new Plot(title: "RD x Wins", xLabel:"RD", yLabel: "W")
Plot << new Points(x: moneyball.numberColumn("RD").asDoubleArray(), y: moneyball.numberColumn("W").asDoubleArray())
winsModel = new OLS(moneyball.select("W", "RD").smile().numericDataset("RD"));
runsScored = new OLS(moneyball.select("OBP", "SLG", "RS").smile().numericDataset("RS"));
new Histogram(xLabel:"X",
yLabel:"Proportion",
data: Arrays.asList(runsScored.residuals()),
binCount: 25);
