About install from Ubuntu PPA

The PPA is short for Personal Package Archives for Ubuntu, which is a place for publishing/installing personal organized packages from launchpad.net.

Usually, the url of a package archive is organized as https://launchpad.net/~PUBLISHER_NAME/+archive/PACKAGE_ARCHIVE_NAME. At the url, you may see a full list of packages included. You can also search PPA packages in https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas .

To install some packages using a ppa, you may use

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:PPA_PUBLISHER_NAME/PPA_ARCHIVE_NAME
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install PACKAGE_NAME


If you want to remove a ppa


sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:PPA_PUBLISHER_NAME/PPA_ARCHIVE_NAME



For the command add-apt-repository, if not found, you may need to install python-software-properties for Ubuntu version <= 12.04, or software-properties-common for Ubuntu version >= 12.10. For earlier versions of Ubuntu or just you want manually add the ppa into the source.list, you may follow https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/InstallingSoftware .

A simple implementation of DTW(Dynamic Time Warping) in C#/python




























DTW(Dynamic Time Warping) is a very useful tools for time series analysis. This is a very simple (but not very efficient) c# implementation of DTW, the source code is available at  https://gist.github.com/1966342  .   Use the program as below:              double[] x = {9,3,1,5,1,2,0,1,0,2,2,8,1,7,0,6,4,4,5};              double[] y = {1,0,5,5,0,1,0,1,0,3,3,2,8,1,0,6,4,4,5};              SimpleDTW dtw = new SimpleDTW(x,y);              dtw.calculateDTW();   The python implementation is available at  https://gist.github.com/3265694  .   from python-dtw import Dtw  import math  dtw = Dtw([1, 2, 3, 4, 6], [1, 2, 3, 5],            distance_func=lambda x, y: math.fabs(x - y))  print dtw.calculate() #calculate the distance  print dtw.get_path() #calculate the mapping path

Install mysql-python with mariadb




























mysql-python requires libmysqlclient-dev in ubuntu, but the installation of mariadb will have the lib with unmet dependenccies, so the error of "mysql_config not found" may occurred if you install mysql-python via pip.   The case is that mariadb has a compatible package, if you have the ppa setup as in  http://downloads.mariadb.org/ . Just "sudo apt-get install libmariadbclient-dev".

PrefixSpan source code in python




























The prefixspan is a key algorithm for mining sequential patterns. I have implemented the algorithm in Python. The algorithm is based on the following paper:   Jian Pei, Jiawei Han, Senior Member, Behzad Mortazavi-asl, Jianyong Wang, Helen Pinto, Qiming Chen, Umeshwar Dayal. Mining Sequential Patterns by Pattern-Growth: The PrefixSpan Approach. IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering, 2004.   or their conference paper   You may download the source code at the following addresses:  Link1
