# ### ** Part 1: Read and parse the initial dataset **

# #### ** (1a) Load and check the data **
# #### The raw data is currently stored in text file.  We will start by storing this raw data in as an RDD, with each element of the RDD representing a data point as a comma-delimited string. Each string starts with the label (a year) followed by numerical audio features. Use the [count method](https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/api/python/pyspark.html#pyspark.RDD.count) to check how many data points we have.  Then use the [take method](https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/api/python/pyspark.html#pyspark.RDD.take) to create and print out a list of the first 5 data points in their initial string format.

# #### ** (1b) Using `LabeledPoint` **
# #### In MLlib, labeled training instances are stored using the [LabeledPoint](https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/api/python/pyspark.mllib.html#pyspark.mllib.regression.LabeledPoint) object.  Write the parsePoint function that takes as input a raw data point, parses it using Python's [unicode.split](https://docs.python.org/2/library/string.html#string.split) method, and returns a `LabeledPoint`.  Use this function to parse samplePoints (from the previous question).  Then print out the features and label for the first training point, using the `LabeledPoint.features` and `LabeledPoint.label` attributes. Finally, calculate the number features for this dataset.
# #### Note that `split()` can be called directly on a `unicode` or `str` object.  For example, `u'split,me'.split(',')` returns `[u'split', u'me']`.

# #### ** (1e) Training, validation, and test sets **

# #### A very simple yet natural baseline model is one where we always make the same prediction independent of the given data point, using the average label in the training set as the constant prediction value.  Compute this value, which is the average (shifted) song year for the training set.  Use an appropriate method in the [RDD API](https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/api/python/pyspark.html#pyspark.RDD).

# #### We will visualize predictions on the validation dataset. The scatter plots below visualize tuples storing i) the predicted value and ii) true label.

Further note that the points in the scatter plots are color-coded, ranging from light yellow when the true and predicted values are equal to bright red when they drastically differ.

# #### ** (3a) Gradient summand **
# #### Now let's see if we can do better via linear regression, training a model via gradient descent (we'll omit the intercept for now).

# ### ** Part 4: Train using MLlib and perform grid search **

# #### **(4a) `LinearRegressionWithSGD` **
# #### We're already doing better than the baseline model, but let's see if we can do better by adding an intercept, using regularization, and (based on the previous visualization) training for more iterations.  MLlib's [LinearRegressionWithSGD](https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/api/python/pyspark.mllib.html#pyspark.mllib.regression.LinearRegressionWithSGD) essentially implements the same algorithm that we implemented in Part (3b), albeit more efficiently and with various additional functionality, such as stochastic gradient approximation, including an intercept in the model and also allowing L1 or L2 regularization.  First use LinearRegressionWithSGD to train a model with L2 regularization and with an intercept.  This method returns a [LinearRegressionModel](https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/api/python/pyspark.mllib.html#pyspark.mllib.regression.LinearRegressionModel).  Next, use the model's [weights](http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/api/python/pyspark.mllib.html#pyspark.mllib.regression.LinearRegressionModel.weights) and [intercept](http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/api/python/pyspark.mllib.html#pyspark.mllib.regression.LinearRegressionModel.intercept) attributes to print out the model's parameters.

Note that if we set `alpha` too small the gradient descent will require a huge number of steps to converge to the solution, and if we use too large of an `alpha` it can cause numerical problems, like you'll see below for `alpha = 10`.

Note that a dataset with three features would have nine ( $ \scriptsize 3^2 $ ) two-way interactions.
# #### You might want to use [itertools.product](https://docs.python.org/2/library/itertools.html#itertools.product) to generate tuples for each of the possible 2-way interactions.

# #### ** (5b) Build interaction model **
# #### Now, let's build the new model.  We've done this several times now.  To implement this for the new features, we need to change a few variable names.  Remember that we should build our model from the training data and evaluate it on the validation data.
# ####  Note that you should re-run your hyperparameter search after changing features, as using the best hyperparameters from your prior model will not necessary lead to the best model.  For this exercise, we have already preset the hyperparameters to reasonable values.

# #### ** (5c) Evaluate interaction model on test data **
# #### Our final step is to evaluate the new model on the test dataset.  Note that we haven't used the test set to evaluate any of our models.  Because of this, our evaluation provides us with an unbiased estimate for how our model will perform on new data.  If we had changed our model based on viewing its performance on the test set, our estimate of RMSE would likely be overly optimistic.
# #### We'll also print the RMSE for both the baseline model and our new model.  With this information, we can see how much better our model performs than the baseline model.
