What is linearTrain component ?

linearTrain component is used to train the linear regression model on 2 parameters and saves the learnt parameters in trainedValues.txt file.

• Description : linearTrain() takes an input(through STDIN) as .csv file and column name 1 and column name 2 with values, which we train using linear regression algorithm and trained parameters are stored in .txt file for further use. Check Input and output parameters for details.
• Parameters :
  • Input(Via STDIN) : A JSON String with following contents:
    • Input1 : .csv file name (which container 2 columns with values)
    • Input2 : column1 name
    • Input3 : column2 name
  • Output(Via STDOUT) : A JSON string with following contents
    • trainedValues.txt file which contains trained values i.e. the model

List of linearTrain features in shunya stack

1. linearTrain component train the linear-regression model on csv file and stored the trained values in .txt file.

Using linearTrain features in Shunya stack

1. Getting trained values after linear-regression using linearTrain component

• linearTrain give trainedValues.txt which contains predicted values.

Lets look into code to understand how to output.

C++

// call linearTrain API

subprocess::popen linearTrain("/usr/bin/linearTrain", {});

linearTrain.stdin() << jsonDoc2Text(inputJson) << std::endl;

linearTrain.close();

std::string linearTrainOut;

// Get output from STDOUT

linearTrain.stdout() >> linearTrainOut;

with above c++ program, you will get trainedValues.txt file stored in your system, which has trained values.

Python

# calling linearTrain API

linearTrain = Popen(['/usr/bin/linearTrain'], stdout=PIPE, stdin=PIPE)

# Passing input to STDIN and getting an output from STDOUT

linearTrainOut = linearTrain.communicate(input=inputJson1_data.encode('utf-8'))[0]

with above python program, you will get trainedValues.txt file stored in your system, which has trained values.

Understand this component with an example (ready to use code)

• This is an example for linear-regression training and predicton and here we will be using 2 components: linearTrain and linearPredict
• Check this ready to use example in c++ and python
• C++ Example
  git clone https://gitlab.iotiot.in/shunya/products/shunya-ai-examples.git

  cd shunya-ai-examples/ml-examples/cpp-examples/linear-reg
• In this folder there is a file, linear-reg.cpp
• linearTrain Components used
  subprocess::popen linearTrain("/usr/bin/linearTrain", {});
• linearPredict component used
  subprocess::popen linearPredict("/usr/bin/linearPredict", {});
• Run code by yourself
  mkdir build && cd build

  cmake .. && make

  ./linearRegCpp
  • You will get a new image stored in system.
