What is Numpy?
Foundation for Data Science Efficiency and Performance
NumPy (Numerical Python) is a fundamental Python library that NumPy leverages optimized C libraries, making it significantly
provides powerful tools for numerical computations. At its core, faster than standard Python lists for numerical operations. This

Supervised Learning
2 The model learns from labeled data, where input features and corresponding output labels are
provided.
Unsupervised Learning
3 The model explores patterns and structures in unlabeled data to uncover insights and
group similar data points.
Reinforcement Learning
4 The model learns through trial and error, receiving rewards for good
decisions and penalties for bad ones.
Supervised Learning with Numpy
Linear Regression
1
Predicting a continuous target variable based on input features, finding the best-fit line through the data.
Logistic Regression
2
Classifying data into distinct categories, using a sigmoid function to predict probabilities.
Decision Trees
3 Building a tree-like structure where each node represents a feature, splitting the data
based on different thresholds.

Numpy for Data
Preprocessing
Data Scaling
Transforming features to a common range, often between 0 and 1 or
-1 and 1, to improve model performance.
Data Normalization
Adjusting features to have a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1,
making the features comparable.
One-Hot Encoding
Converting categorical features into numerical features,
representing each category as a separate binary column.
