Numerical Analysis (NumPy)
- Overview: Week 3 lecture focuses on numerical analysis using NumPy.
New Material
- Moving from basic to advanced analytics
- Complete Python code available in Blackboard
- Labs: shift towards case studies
Course Plan
- Week 3: Numerical Analysis (NumPy)
- Week 4, Lecture 1: Data Exploration and Visualization (Pandas + Matplotlib)
- Week 4, Lecture 2: Data preprocessing and preparation (Pandas + Scikit-learn)
- Week 5: Machine learning (Scikit-learn)
Part 1: Vectors and Matrices
- Focus of initial portion of the lecture
Part 2: Broadcasting
- Lecture topic
Part 3: Aggregations and Operations
- Further lecture topic
NumPy Arrays
- NumPy arrays differ from lists (e.g., appending an element to a NumPy array, will not add to the array but return a new array).
- NumPy arrays support fast calculations
- NumPy arrays are multi-dimensional (vectors and matrices)
- Includes good integration with Pandas & Matplotlib
NumPy Arrays vs. Lists
- NumPy arrays are different from Python lists
- Using NumPy arrays for data structure and analysis will be much faster than using Python lists for identical operations.
- Operations on NumPy arrays are element-wise by default.
NumPy Array Indexing
- NumPy array indexing differs from list indexing, and uses square bracket notation.
NumPy Slices
- NumPy slices are views, not copies. This means changes made to a slice will modify the original array
NumPy Slices Explained
- Slices are not copies of arrays, but rather views to the same underlying data. This is an important concept to understand when working with NumPy arrays.
- Modifying a NumPy slice affects the original array.
- Use
.copy()to create a true copy.
NumPy Arrays: Indexing
- Different ways to index arrays
- Examples shown for accessing specific elements or subsets.
Broadcasting
- Operators (+,-,*,/) usually act element-wise on arrays
- Can calculate across matrices, or arrays of different dimensions if dimensions align.
- ValueError error if NumPy cannot broadcast correctly.
- Reshaping an array can help with broadcasting when shapes are not matching
Recap
- NumPy arrays are specialized data structures capable of numerous mathematical and statistical operations
- NumPy provides specialized functions for sorting.
- NumPy provides direct sorting and indirect sorting.
- NumPy and SciPy are utilized for complex calculations and mathematical functions, respectively.
Broadcasting Examples
- Matrix and vector calculations
- Using reshape to enable broadcasting
- Common error scenarios
Aggregations
- Operations like sum, min, max, mean, all, any are aggregations (reductions),
- Used along axis 0 or axis 1 of an array
SciPy Library
- Library for numerical analysis and scientific computations
- Includes sub-modules such as optimize, linalg, and stats
- Provides useful mathematical and statistical functions
Next Week Material
- Libraries: pandas and matplotlib
