Practical Predictive Analytics

Generating the test data

Install the packages if needed:

install.packages("car") install.packages("MASS")  

Assign the libraries:

library(car) library(MASS)  

Generate the skewed data:

set.seed(1010) x<-rexp(1000)        # exponential sample with parameter 1  par(mfrow=c(2,3))  

Plot the histogram and normal probability plots. The par() function specified that they will be part of the first row of plots shown in the next section:

hist(x) qqnorm(x)                  # Normal probability plot for original variable
