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.
