pygwalker VS RasgoQL

The most popular data visualization python library in 2023. It turns your dataframe into an interactive data exploration app like tableau/powerBI with one line of code. It provides simple drag-and-drop/chat interface for you to build charts. It can run in juypter notebook, which means you do not need to switch between your code and the visualization app. Besides, you can also build interactive spitial visualization on maps with it. And it also has Javascript and R version.

GWalkR is the R binding of Graphic-Walker, if you want to use it in python, check the python version: PyGWalker: https://github.com/Kanaries/pygwalker

+ Graphic Walker (https://github.com/Kanaries/graphic-walker): A lite embeddable component for visual analysis.

+ PyGWalker (https://github.com/Kanaries/pygwalker): turning your pandas dataframe into a Tableau-style User Interface for visual exploration.

RATH is a collection of interesting ideas that we think the next generation of data analysis software should be, so there might be many features that not well organized to be a united app. Tell me which feature you prefer and which is not. Looking forward for your ideas and advice.

I built an open source package to bridge the gap between python and dbt, would love your feedback if you have a chance to check it out: https://github.com/rasgointelligence/RasgoQL

I’ve actually solved a similar problem several times in a variety of settings. I’ve had success with boosted trees and feature engineering on the sensor readings over time. I treat each reading as an observation and set the target to be the value I want to forecast (e.g. one hour ahead, the sum over the next day, the value at the same time the next day). There was a recent paper that compared boosted trees to deep learning techniques and found the boosted trees performed really well. Next, I perform feature engineering to aggregate the data up to the current time. These features will include the current value, lagged values over multiple observations for that sensor, more complicated features from moving statistics over different time scales, etc. I actually wrote a blog about creating these features using the open-source package RasgoQL and have similar types of features shared in the open-source repository here. I have also had success creating these sorts of historical features using the tsfresh package. Finally, when evaluating the forecast, use a time based split so earlier data is used to train the model and later data to evaluate the model.

I created RasgoQL to give anyone a pandas-like syntax that you can use to quickly generate hundreds of lines of SQL that will run directly in your Snowflake or BigQuery data warehouse (with more data warehouse support coming soon). The best part? In one line of code, you can export this SQL to your dbt project so that it can run in production alongside other data pipelines.
