NumPy Basics: Arrays and Vectorized Computation

Introduction NumPy
❖ NumPy, short for Numerical Python, is the fundamental package required for high performance scientific computing and data analysis
❖ ndarray, a fast and space-efficient multidimensional array providing vectorized arithmetic operations and sophisticated broadcasting capabilities
❖ Standard mathematical functions for fast operations on entire arrays of data without having to write loops
❖ Tools for reading / writing array data to disk and working with memory-mapped files
❖ Linear algebra, random number generation, and Fourier transform capabilities
❖ Tools for integrating code written in C, C++, and Fortran

The NumPy arrays have three fundamental properties


❖ shape: The shape attribute of any arrays describes its size along all of its dimensions
❖ ndim: The number of dimensions (often also called directions or axes)
❖ dtype: The data type of the array elements.
Pandas
Introduction Pandas
❖ pandas is a Python library containing high-level data structures and tools that have been created to help Python programmers to perform powerful data analysis. The
ultimate purpose of pandas is to help you quickly discover information in data, with information being defined as an underlying meaning.

Pandas are Fun! What is Pandas?


❖ Panel Data System
❖ Key components – series, dataframes
❖ Series: is a sequence of data, like a list in basic Python or a 1D NumPy array
❖ Dataframes: represents a tabular, spreadsheet-like data structure containing an ordered collection of columns, each of which can be a different value type (numeric,
string, boolean, etc.)

Pandas Series
❖ A pandas Series is a one-dimensional array-like object containing an array of data (of any NumPy data type) and an associated array of data labels, called its index
❖ The simplest Series is formed from only an array of data

Pandas Dataframes
❖ The DataFrame has both a row and column index; it can be thought of as a dictionaries of Series (one for all sharing the same index)
• Dictionaries are a fundamental data type in the python programming language
• dictionaries store a mapping of unique keys to values. Basic operations on a dictionary include:
• Adding a new key/value pair
• Retrieving the value corresponding to a particular key

Lecture 3

Data Science Project Stages Reference: Book: Data Analysis and Visualization Using Python
Lecture 3 – Data Visualization in Analytics

❖ Data visualization is the process of interpreting data and presenting it in a pictorial or graphical format

❖ Data visualization helps people understand the significance of data by presenting it in a simple and easy-to-understand format

❖ Data visualization helps communicating the information clearly and effectively


Lecture 3 – Why Is Data Visualization Important?

❖ A picture is worth a thousand words, as they say

❖ Humans just understand data better through pictures rather than by reading numbers in rows and columns

❖ If the data is presented in a graphical format, people are more able to effectively find correlations

❖ Data visualization helps the business to achieve numerous goals:


✔ Converting the business data into interactive graphs for dynamic interpretation to serve the business goals
✔ Transforming data into visually appealing, interactive dashboards of various data sources to serve the business
✔ Creating more attractive and informative dashboards of various graphical data representations
✔ Making appropriate decisions by drilling into the data and finding the insights
✔ Figuring out the patterns, trends, and correlations in the data being analyzed
✔ Making better, quick, and informed decisions with data visualization
