ruby_scientist_and_graphics

Ruby Scientist and Graphics is a practical data science toolkit for Ruby. It includes a lightweight built-in DataFrame for loading, cleaning, and transforming data; quick descriptive statistics and correlations; charting via Gruff (bar and line); and simple ML utilities (linear regression and k-means)—all behind a small, unified, pandas-inspired API. Key features: - Load data from CSV and JSON. - Clean and transform (remove/add columns, handle missing values, limit rows). - Describe datasets and compute correlations quickly. - Create bar and line charts with customization options. - Train/predict with linear regression; cluster with k-means. - Save/load project state (data + trained model) and run simple pipelines. - Optional backend adapters (e.g., Rover) while keeping the same API. Ideal for analysts and developers who want to explore data in Ruby without relying on Python or R. Note: plotting via Gruff uses rmagick, which requires ImageMagick installed on the system.
