Tabular Asa

A fast, efficient, in-memory, immutable, dataframes implementation for Racket.

Quick Example

This is a brief example of loading a table from a CSV, filtering, grouping, aggregating, and plotting the data. Note: This example uses ~> from the threading module for clarity, but Tabular Asa does not require it.

(require plot)
(require tabular-asa)
(require threading)

(define books (call-with-input-file "books.csv" table-read/csv))
 
(let ([df (~> books
              (table-drop-na '(Publisher))
              (table-cut '(Genre Title))
              (table-groupby '(Genre))
              (group-count))])
  (parameterize ([plot-x-tick-label-angle 30]
                 [plot-x-tick-label-anchor 'top-right])
    (plot (discrete-histogram (for/list ([x (table-column df 'Genre)]
                                         [y (table-column df 'Title)])
                                (list x y)))
          #:x-label "Genre"
          #:y-label "Number of Titles Published")))

The above should produce a image plot like this:

Installation

Installing should be as simple as using raco from the command line:

% raco pkg install tabular-asa

After the above, you should be able to (require tabular-asa) and begin working!
