Data Preprocessing with NumPy

This course will guide you through one of Python’s most notable packages – NumPy. We’ll explain why it’s so popular and discuss the numerous applications of its crown jewel – the ndarray class.

with Viktor Mehandzhiyski

Course Overview

This course is designed to show you how to work with one of Python’s fundamental packages – NumPy. You will learn what a “package” is and see how to install, upgrade and import it. By the time you finish the course, you’ll be comfortable with NumPy’ ndarray class, how to slice and reduce the dimensions of its instances, as well as how to quickly refer to the documentation. Furthermore, you’ll be ready to take advantage of NumPy’s various built-in functions and methods, which we’ll use to generate random and non-random data, import and export data to and from Python, find statistical values for a dataset, and clean and preprocess ndarrays.

“A large portion of a data analyst’s work is dedicated to preprocessing datasets. Unquestionably, this involves tons of mathematical and statistical techniques that NumPy is renowned for. NumPy can be described as a computationally stable state-of-the-art Python instrument that provides flexibility and can take your analysis to the next level.”
