NumPy Notes

NumPy is a library for efficient mathematical operations on N-dimensional arrays, known as ndarrays. It provides various methods for array creation, reshaping, and mathematical operations, including functions for generating random numbers and performing statistical calculations. Key features include indexing, slicing, and boolean indexing for data manipulation.

NumPy Notes

1. Introduction to NumPy Arrays

NumPy arrays (ndarray) are N-dimensional array objects optimized for speed and efficient
mathematical operations.

Creating Arrays: Use [Link]() to convert lists or nested lists into arrays.

Key Attributes:

- ndim: Number of dimensions.

- shape: Tuple of array dimensions (rows, columns).

- size: Total number of elements.

2. Array Initialization Methods

Instead of manually typing lists, NumPy provides functions for automatic array creation.

Fixed Values:

- [Link](): Creates an array filled with zeros.

- [Link](): Creates an array filled with ones.

- [Link](): Creates an array filled with a specific value.

- [Link]() / [Link](): Creates an identity matrix.

- [Link](): Creates an array without initializing values (random content).

Ranges:

- [Link](start, stop, step): Creates a range of values with a step.

- [Link](start, stop, num): Creates evenly spaced values between two limits.

3. Random Number Generation

Using [Link]:

- randint: Random integers in a given range.

- randn: Values from standard normal distribution.

- rand: Random floating values between 0 and 1.

4. Reshaping and Restructuring


- reshape(): Change array shape without changing data.

- flatten() / ravel(): Convert multi-dimensional arrays to 1D.

- transpose() or .T: Swap axes.

5. Mathematical & Statistical Operations

Common operations:

- min(), max(), mean(), sum()

Index operations:

- argmin(), argmax()

Cumulative:

- cumsum(): Running total

- cumprod(): Running product

6. Indexing and Slicing

- Basic slicing: array[start:stop]

- 2D indexing: array[row, col]

- 3D indexing: array[layer, row, col]

7. Boolean Indexing and Filtering

- Create masks: arr > 30

- Filter values: arr[arr > 30]

- Combine conditions: &, |

- Detect NaN: [Link]()

- Remove NaN: arr[~[Link](arr)]

- [Link](): Returns indices matching a condition
