PHASE:- 1 ( Introduction and Installation )

Introduction

Apache Airflow is a platform for programmatically author schedule and monitor workflows. It is one of the best workflow management system.

Airflow was originally developed by Airbnb to manage its data-based operations with a fast-growing data set. Airflow is undergoing incubation at Apache Software foundation as Airbnb has decided to open source it under Apache certification.

Apache airflow makes your workflow a little bit simple and organized by allowing you to divide it into small independent task units. Easy to organize and easy to schedule. Your entire workflow can be converted into a DAG with Airflow.

Once your workflows are defined by your code it becomes more maintainable. With the feature-rich user interface your workflow pipelines can be easily visualized, monitored and troubleshot.

Airflow also provides a rich set of command-line utilities that can be used to perform complex operations on DAG.

In short, airflow is a platform where you can see and schedule your run for the script.

Installation

you can simply instaled the airflow by PIP.

pip install apache-airflow

so this command will installed your airflow local.

To start the airflow run the following command and you are set up with airflow.

airflow initdb   # initating the database for storing the DAGsairflow scheduler  # initating the scheduler for triggering on scheduled timeairflow webserver  # initating the webserver for UI

after this execution, your airflow is fully setup. You can find it in:

localhost:8080

so now you have fully set up with airflow and about execution and creating DAG, we will see in the next article.

Random Forest and how it works

  Random Forest Random Forest is a Machine Learning Algorithm based on Decision Trees. Random forest works on the ensemble method which is very common these days. The ensemble method means that to make a decision collectively based on the decision trees. Actually, we make a prediction, not simply based on One Decision Tree, but by an unanimous Prediction, made by ‘ K’  Decision Trees. Why should we use There are four reasons why should we us e  the random forest algorithm. The one is that it can be used for both  classification and regression  businesses. Overfitting is one critical problem that may make the results worse, but for the Random Forest algorithm, if there are enough trees in the forest, the classifier  won’t overfit  the model. The third reason is the classifier of Random Forest can handle  missing values , and the last advantage is that the Random Forest classifier can be modeled for  categorical values. How does the Random...

DBSCAN Clustering Algorithm-with maths

  DBSCAN is a short-form of   D ensity- B ased   S patial   C lustering of   A pplications with   N oise. It is an unsupervised algorithm that will take the set of points and make them into some sets which have the same properties. It is based on the density-based clustering and it will mark the outliers also which do not lie in any of the cluster or set. There are some terms that we need to know before we proceed further for algorithm: Density Reachability A point “p” is said to be   density reachable from a point “q” if point “p” is within ε distance from point “q” and “q” has a sufficient number of points in its neighbors which are within distance ε. Density Connectivity A point “p” and “q” are said to be density connected if there exists a point “r” which has a sufficient number of points in its neighbors and both the points “p” and “q” is within the ε distance. This is a chaining process. So, if “q” is neighbor of “r”, “r” is neighbor of “s”, “s” ...

Neural Network theory and implementation for Regression

Introduction and background In this article, we are going to build the regression model from neural networks for predicting the price of a house based on the features. Here is the implementation and the theory behind it. The neural network is basically if you see is derived from the logistic regression, as we know that in the logistic regression: Formulae for Logistic Regression:  y = ax+b so for every node in each layer, we will apply it and after this output is from the activation function which will have the input from logistic regression and the output is output from the activation function. So now  w e will implement the neural  network  with 5 hidden layers. Implementation 1. Import the libraries which we will going to use 2. Import the dataset and check the types of the columns 3. Now build your training and test set from the dataset. 4. Now we have our data we will now make the model and I will describe to you how it will predict the price. Here we are making...
