Extracting the Pima Indians diabetes dataset

After running the following code, we will have the PimaIndiansDiabetes R dataframe loaded and we will run the usual str() and summary() functions. Note that we need to first install the mlbench package to retrieve the data that is contained within the package.

At this point, no Spark directives are being introduced. Even though we are running in a databricks environment, the code is pure R, and you can replicate this code in your regular R environment as well.

# load the library devtools::install_github("cran/mlbench") library(mlbench) data(PimaIndiansDiabetes) str(PimaIndiansDiabetes) summary(PimaIndiansDiabetes)
