Module easing handling large data sets.
It seems to be common to import numpy as np
. Therefor below np is used on this page.
Numpy documentation for mathematical functions.
At least some functions work on lists too.
Array
Class of iterable, mutable objects. Very much like a list but can have elements of only one(1) type (booleans can be mixed with numeric types, True = 1, False = 0). Arrays have their own set of methods. Some things are similar to lists, others differ.
Numpy provides automatic mapping of operations to the array elements.
array1 / array2
- Returns an array of the results from the division of all elements of array1 by the corresponding element of array2. Array1 and array2 must have the same number of elements.
- array1 > x
- Returns a boolean array same size as aray1 with True for elements > x and False for elements <= x
- array1[array1 > x]
- Return all elements of array1 > x. Can be used with different arrays too providing they are the same size.
Arrays are by default multi-dimensional. Basically this is a list of arrays.
- mdarray[0][2]
- mdarray[0,2] (preferred)
- Return the 3rd element from the first array (row 1)
- mdarray.shape
- np.shape(mdarray)
- Return the array's shape as tuple (rows,colums)
- If the rows have different number of columns only the number of rows is returned (rows,)
Slicing works for multi-dimensional arrays too:
- mdarray[:,2]
- Return the 3rd element of all rows
- mdarray[2,4:6]
- Return from the 3rd row the the elements 4 and 5 (5th and 6th)
Operations are still applied to all elements on all rows
- mdarray * 2
- Operate on all elements
- mdarray * array(1row)
- Multiply each element in all rows of mdarray with the corresponding element in array
- np.sum(array)
- array.sum()
- Return the addition of all values in array (prod,
- np.mean(array)
- array.mean()
- Return the average of all values in array
- np.median(array)
- Return the middle value of array(sorted)
- np.std(array)
- Return the standard deviation in
- np.corrcoef(array[:,0],array[:,1])
- Return the correlation between 2 columns
- np.linspace(start,stop,num)
- Create an array of num element evenly distributed from start to stop
Randomness
- np.random.random()
- Return a random number between 0 and 1
- np.random.random(x)
- Return an array of x random numbers between 0 and 1
- np.random.random() < <probability>
- Return True with a probability of <probability>. <probability> must be between 0 and 1.
- Probability of 0.5 is for a coin flip (50-50).
More
- np.nan
- Not a number, can be used to fill in an unknown value in a series (see Pandas)
