Fit

Fit is a toolkit for exploring and manipulating datasets. Go has many great statistical libraries but is largely unrepresented in the data science world. Fit aims to be a general purpose tool for handling data ETL, analytics, and visualization.

Note that this project is largely unfinished and unsuitable for any practical purpose.

Components

Below is a rough outline of the different commonents that currently exist in Fit.

Dataset

All numerical values are internally represented as float64 and are logically groupped into a Dataset object. Datasets use the excellent Gonum Matrix underneath which are simmilar to Numpy's multi-demensional arrays.

Loaders

Loaders perform iterative scanning of a file path and emit an []string array for each row of data until EOF is reached. Currently only csv and xls loaders exist.

Parsers

Parsers perform pre-processing on string data prior to being loaded into a dataset.

TimeParser

TimeParser accepts a formatted string and stores the result as Unix epoch time.

Usage

fit --help
Usage: fit [OPTIONS] COMMAND [arg...]

Fit is a toolkit for exploring, extracting, and transforming datasets

Options:
  -d, --db=""        Path to a BoltDB database, default: /tmp/fit.db
  -s, --server=""    Fit API server, default: http://127.0.0.1:8000
  -h, --human=true   output data as human readable text
  -j, --json=false   output data in JSON format
  -v, --version      Show the version and exit

Commands:
  server       Run the Fit web server
  load         load a dataset into BoltDB
  ls           list datasets loaded into the database with their columns
  rm           Delete a dataset
  query        Query values from one or more datasets

Examples

# Start the Fit HTTP server
fit server
# Load sample data
fit load --name LakeHuron sample_data/LakeHuron.csv
# List datasets
fit ls

NAME      ROWS  COLS  COLUMNS          
LakeHuron 98    3     [ time LakeHuron]

# Query
fit query -n "LakeHuron,time,LakeHuron"
