Play With Your ML Dataset -- Cheatsheet in R

Understanding data usually is half the battle won. For any machine learning project it helps immensely to analyze your data from different points of view. Summarising a dataset means understanding how your data looks when subjected to simple statistical anaylsis. To illustrate the various techniques let us consider the glass dataset from the r package mlbench. It has 214 observations containing examples of the chemical analysis of 7 different types of glass. For a quick look we try to display the first 10 rows of the data.
