Pyspark | Linear regression using Apache MLlib

Problem Statement: Build a predictive Model for the shipping company, to find an estimate of how many Crew members a ship requires.
The dataset contains 159 instances with 9 features.

The Description of dataset is as below:

Let’s make the Linear Regression Model, predicting Crew members

Attached dataset: cruise_ship_info

import pyspark
from pyspark.sql import SparkSession
#SparkSession is now the entry point of Spark
#SparkSession can also be construed as gateway to spark libraries

#create instance of spark class
spark=SparkSession.builder.appName('housing_price_model').getOrCreate()

#create spark dataframe of input csv file
df=spark.read.csv('D:\python coding\pyspark_tutorial\Linear regression\cruise_ship_info.csv'
                  ,inferSchema=True,header=True)
df.show(10)

#prints structure of dataframe along with datatype
df.printSchema()

Output :

#In our predictive model, below are the columns
df.columns

Output :

#columns identified as features are as below:
#['Cruise_line','Age','Tonnage','passengers','length','cabins','passenger_density']
#to work on the features, spark MLlib expects every value to be in numeric form
#feature 'Cruise_line is string datatype
#using StringIndexer, string type will be typecast to numeric datatype
#import library strinindexer for typecasting

from pyspark.ml.feature import StringIndexer
indexer=StringIndexer(inputCol='Cruise_line',outputCol='cruise_cat')
indexed=indexer.fit(df).transform(df)

#above code will convert string to numeric feature and create a new dataframe
#new dataframe contains a new feature 'cruise_cat' and can be used further
#feature cruise_cat is now vectorized and can be used to fed to model
for item in indexed.head(5):
    print(item)
    print('\n')
