Key Points about Correlation

 Correlation is a statistical measure that describes the extent to which two variables change together. It quantifies the degree to which the variables are related. When the values of one variable change systematically with the values of another variable, they are said to be correlated.

Key Points about Correlation

1. Direction of Correlation:

   • Positive Correlation: Both variables move in the same direction. As one variable increases, the other also increases. Conversely, as one decreases, the other also decreases.
   • Negative Correlation: The variables move in opposite directions. As one variable increases, the other decreases, and vice versa.
   • No Correlation: There is no systematic relationship between the variables. Changes in one variable do not predict changes in the other.

2. Strength of Correlation:

   • Perfect Correlation: When two variables move exactly together, they have a correlation of +1 (perfect positive correlation) or -1 (perfect negative correlation).
   • Strong Correlation: The variables have a correlation close to +1 or -1.
   • Weak Correlation: The correlation is close to 0.
   • Zero Correlation: There is no relationship between the variables (correlation is 0).

3. Correlation Coefficient: The correlation coefficient (often denoted as $r$) is a numerical value that ranges from -1 to +1 and quantifies the degree of correlation between two variables.

   • +1 indicates a perfect positive correlation.
   • -1 indicates a perfect negative correlation.
   • 0 indicates no correlation.

Types of Correlation Coefficients

1. Pearson Correlation Coefficient: Measures the linear relationship between two continuous variables. It assumes that the data is normally distributed.

   $$r = \frac{\sum (x_i - \bar{x})(y_i - \bar{y})}{\sqrt{\sum (x_i - \bar{x})^2 \sum (y_i - \bar{y})^2}}$$

   where $x_i$ and $y_i$ are the individual sample points, and $\bar{x}$ and $\bar{y}$ are the means of the x and y variables, respectively.

2. Spearman's Rank Correlation Coefficient: Measures the strength and direction of the association between two ranked variables. It does not assume a linear relationship or normally distributed data.

   $$r_s = 1 - \frac{6 \sum d_i^2}{n(n^2 - 1)}$$

   where $d_i$ is the difference between the ranks of corresponding values, and $n$ is the number of observations.

3. Kendall's Tau: Measures the strength of association between two variables by considering the number of concordant and discordant pairs.

Example in Python Using Pearson Correlation

Here’s how you can calculate and visualize the Pearson correlation coefficient using Python's pandas and seaborn libraries:

import pandas as pd

import numpy as np

import seaborn as sns

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Sample data

data = {

    'X': [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10],

    'Y': [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]

}

df = pd.DataFrame(data)

# Calculate Pearson correlation coefficient

correlation_matrix = df.corr()

pearson_corr = correlation_matrix.loc['X', 'Y']

print(f"Pearson Correlation Coefficient: {pearson_corr}")

# Visualize the correlation

sns.heatmap(correlation_matrix, annot=True, cmap='coolwarm')

plt.show()

Interpreting the Correlation

• Value of $r$:
  • $r = 1$: Perfect positive correlation
  • $0 < r < 1$: Positive correlation
  • $r = 0$: No correlation
  • $-1 < r < 0$: Negative correlation
  • $r = -1$: Perfect negative correlation

Understanding correlation is crucial for determining relationships between variables, which can help in predictive modeling, risk management, and decision-making processes. However, it's important to remember that correlation does not imply causation. Just because two variables are correlated does not mean that one causes the other to change.

Error: No module named matplotlib.pyplot

While practising the first time we will get this error, without installing the matplotlib

Install using the following command:

pip install matplotlib

Example:

import numpy as np

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

product_category = np.array(['Furniture', 'Technology', 'Office Supplies'])

sales = np.array ([4110451.90, 4744557.50, 3787492.52] )

plt.bar(product_category, sales)

plt.show()

Swapping 2 numbers doesn't involve making a new variable in python

Swapping

Description

You are given two integer variables,  x and y. You have to swap the values stored in x and y.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Input:
Two numbers x and y separated by a comma.

Output:
Print 5 lines. The first two lines will have values of variables shown before swapping, and the last two lines will have values of variables shown after swapping. The third line will be blank.

Ans:

#takes input in form of the string

in_string=12,15

#here extract the two numbers from the string

mylist = in_string.split(',')

x=int(mylist[0])

y=int(mylist[1])

#print x and y before swapping

print('x before swapping: {0}'.format(x))

print('y before swapping: {0}'.format(y))

#Writing your swapping code here

x = x + y 

y = x - y 

x = x - y 

print()

#print x and y after swapping

print('x after swapping: {0}'.format(x))

print('y after swapping: {0}'.format(y))

Output:

x before swapping: 12

y before swapping: 15

x after swapping: 15

y after swapping: 12

React v16.9.0 and the Roadmap Update

Renaming Unsafe Lifecycle Methods 

Over a year ago, we announced that unsafe lifecycle methods are getting renamed:

• componentWillMount → UNSAFE_componentWillMount
• componentWillReceiveProps → UNSAFE_componentWillReceiveProps
• componentWillUpdate → UNSAFE_componentWillUpdate

Deprecating javascript: URLs

URLs starting with javascript: are a dangerous attack surface because it’s easy to accidentally include unsanitized output in a tag like <a href> and create a security hole

Deprecating “Factory” Components 

Before compiling JavaScript classes with Babel became popular, React had support for a “factory” component that returns an object with a render method:

Understanding the Spread Operator in JavaScript

Today we are going to discuss about the ES6 feature of Spread operator, Based on MDN docs.

Spread syntax allows an iterable such as an array expression or string to be expanded in places where zero or more arguments (for function calls) or elements (for array literals) are expected, or an object expression to be expanded in places where zero or more key-value pairs (for object literals) are expected.

Syntax for how to use:

For function calls:

myFunction(...iterableObj);

For array literals or strings:

[...iterableObj, '4', 'five', 6];

For object literals (new in ECMAScript 2018):

let objClone = { ...obj };

Example of Replace of apply:

function sum(x, y, z) {
  return x + y + z;
}

const numbers = [1, 2, 3];

console.log(sum(...numbers));
// expected output: 6

console.log(sum.apply(null, numbers));
// expected output: 6

concatenate arrays

var arr1 = [0, 1, 2];

var arr2 = [3, 4, 5];

arr1 = [...arr1, ...arr2]; // arr1 is now [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Spread in object literals

var obj1 = { foo: 'bar', x: 42 };

var obj2 = { foo: 'baz', y: 13 };

var clonedObj = { ...obj1 };

// Object { foo: "bar", x: 42 }

var mergedObj = { ...obj1, ...obj2 };

// Object { foo: "baz", x: 42, y: 13 }

Ext JS TAGFIELD for modern Toolkit

Upto now Extjs 6 sencha is not providing Tagfield for modern toolkit.
This kind of component we can use many places in current mobile apps based on client requirements. So i implemented the tagfield using picker and working as expected.

Preview:

Code snippet:

Ext.define('Ext.field.TagField', {

    extend: 'Ext.field.Picker',

    xtype: 'tagfield',

    requires: [

        'Ext.picker.Picker'

    ],

        store: null,

        displayField: 'text',

        valueField: 'id',

        picker: 'floated',

        floatedPicker: {

            xtype: 'list',

            selectable: 'multi'

        },

        selected: {}

    },

    onSelect(t, recs) {

        let i = 0,

            len = recs.length;

        if (!this._selected) {

            this._selected = {};

        }

        while (i < len) {

            this._selected[recs[i].get(this.getValueField())] = recs[i];

            this.addTag(recs[i]);

            i++;

        }

    },

    onDeselect(t, recs) {

        let i = 0,

            len = recs.length;

        while (i < len) {

            delete this._selected[recs[i].get(this.getValueField())];

            this.removeTag(recs[i]);

            i++;

        }

    },

    addTag(tag) {

        

        var dispFld = this.getDisplayField();

        var elId = this.id + '-tagId-' + tag.internalId;

        let el = document.createElement('span');

        el.id = elId;

        el.innerHTML = `${tag.get( dispFld )} <span style="margin-left: 2px; color: red;" class="x-fa fa-times-circle" aria-hidden="true">&nbsp;</span>`;

        el.style.padding = '4px';

        el.style.margin = '4px';

        el.style.cursor = 'default';

        el.style.backgroundColor = '#1E90FF';

        el.style.borderRadius = '3px';

        if (tag.tagCls) {

            el.classList.add(tag.tagCls);

        }

        el.setAttribute('tagFieldSpan', true);

        el.querySelector('span').addEventListener('click', function () {

            this.getPicker().onItemDeselect([tag]);

            this.getPicker().setItemSelection([tag], false);
