Summary
In this chapter, we considered using the Saddle library for data analysis. Saddle is modeled after the pandas library that is available for Python as well as the R programming language. It has data structures for operations on structured data. We discussed the data types made available by Saddle.
We then examined the operations provided by Saddle that operate on those structures. The basis of most Saddle programs is the Frame structure. We discussed operations on it, read data in to it, and performed various queries on it. Finally, we described an example of using Saddle data structures for simple data analysis using visualization.
