What to Focus On
- Data preparation converts raw data into a usable form.
- Different data sources can be combined and standardized.
- NumPy, Pandas, and Scikit-learn are key libraries for this chapter.
- NumPy is used for fast numerical computation.
- ndarray is NumPy's core n-dimensional array.
- NumPy arrays are homogeneous and stored contiguously.
- List is a heterogeneous core Python data structure.
- Array is a homogeneous NumPy data structure.
- Arrays are faster because they are stored contiguously in memory.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
A NumPy array and a Python list are basically the same, so they can be used interchangeably in data preparation.
The word ndarray is just another name for a Python list.
zeros() and ones() create integer arrays by default because they contain 0 and 1.
