    Study Notes

    NumPy Array

    • Importing NumPy: import numpy as np
    • Creating a 1D array: arr = np.array([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12])
    • Reshaping a 1D array into a 2D array: arr_2D = arr.reshape(4,3)

    Transposing NumPy Arrays

    • Transposing a 2D array: arr_2D_transposed = np.transpose(arr_2D)

    NumPy Sorting

    • Sorting a 2D array: np.sort(arr_2D, axis=None) (sorts the whole array)
    • Row-wise sorting: np.sort(arr_2D, axis=1)
    • Column-wise sorting: np.sort(arr_2D, axis=0)

    NumPy Calculation Functions

    • Summation:
      • Row-wise: grades.sum(axis=1)
      • Column-wise: grades.sum(axis=0)
      • All grades: grades.sum(axis=None)
    • Minimum:
      • Row-wise: grades.min(axis=1)
      • Column-wise: grades.min(axis=0)
      • All grades: grades.min(axis=None)

    Indexing and Slicing

    • Accessing individual elements: grades[row index, col index]
    • Selecting one row: grades[row index]
    • Selecting multiple rows: grades[row index from : row index to]
    • Selecting a subset of columns: grades[:,0] (selects all rows, column 0)
    • Selecting a subset of columns: grades[:, 0:2] (selects all rows, columns 0, 1)
    • Negative indices: grades[:, -1] (accesses the last column)

    Pandas: Series and DataFrames

    • Creating a Series: grades = pd.Series([87, 100, 94])
    • Creating a DataFrame: grades = pd.DataFrame([87, 100, 94], index=['First', 'Second', 'final'])
    • Accessing Series using string indices: grades['First']

    DataFrames

    • Creating a DataFrame from a file: myDataFrame = pd.read_csv("myfile.csv")
    • Displaying the first and last 5 rows: myDataFrame.head() and myDataFrame.tail()
    • Statistics:
      • Mean, min, max, std, var: data.describe()
      • Count, mean, min, max, std: data.mean(), data.min(), data.max(), data.std()

    DataFrames and NumPy

    • Converting a DataFrame to a NumPy array: numpy_from_dataFrame = data.to_numpy()
    • Converting a NumPy array to a DataFrame: dataFrame_from_numpy = pd.DataFrame(numpy_from_dataFrame, columns = […])
