How-to articles, tricks, and solutions about NUMPY

Convert pandas dataframe to NumPy array

In pandas, you can convert a DataFrame to a NumPy array by using the values attribute.

Creating a Pandas DataFrame from a Numpy array: How do I specify the index column and column headers?

To create a Pandas DataFrame from a Numpy array and specify the index column and column headers, you can use the pd.DataFrame() constructor and pass in the Numpy array, as well as the index, columns parameters.

Dump a NumPy array into a csv file

Here's an example code snippet that demonstrates how to dump a NumPy array into a CSV file:

Error "Import Error: No module named numpy" on Windows

This error message indicates that the Python interpreter is unable to find the numpy module, which is likely because it is not installed on your system.

How can the Euclidean distance be calculated with NumPy?

Here is a code snippet that shows how to calculate the Euclidean distance using NumPy:

How do I access the ith column of a NumPy multidimensional array?

You can access the ith column of a NumPy multidimensional array by using the following syntax:

How do I print the full NumPy array, without truncation?

To print the full NumPy array without truncation, you can use the numpy.set_printoptions() function and set the threshold parameter to np.inf.

How do I read CSV data into a record array in NumPy?

You can use the numpy.genfromtxt() function to read CSV data into a NumPy record array.

How to normalize a NumPy array to a unit vector?

To normalize a NumPy array to a unit vector, you can use the numpy.linalg.norm function to calculate the magnitude of the vector, and then divide the array by this magnitude.

Most efficient way to map function over numpy array

There are several ways to apply a function to every element of a numpy array, and the most efficient method will depend on the size and shape of the array, as well as the complexity of the function.

python numpy ValueError: operands could not be broadcast together with shapes

The ValueError: operands could not be broadcast together with shapes error occurs in NumPy when the shapes of the arrays being operated on are incompatible.

ValueError: setting an array element with a sequence

This code creates a 2D numpy array, and then tries to set the first element of the array to a list.

ValueError: The truth value of an array with more than one element is ambiguous. Use a.any() or a.all()

This error message is indicating that a boolean operation was performed on an array with multiple elements, and the result of the operation is ambiguous.
