The Quick and Easy Way to Analyze Numpy Arrays

Image
The quickest and easiest way to analyze NumPy arrays is by using the numpy.array() method. This method allows you to quickly and easily analyze the values contained in a numpy array. This method can also be used to find the sum, mean, standard deviation, max, min, and other useful analysis of the value contained within a numpy array. Sum You can find the sum of Numpy arrays using the np.sum() function.  For example:  import numpy as np  a = np.array([1,2,3,4,5])  b = np.array([6,7,8,9,10])  result = np.sum([a,b])  print(result)  # Output will be 55 Mean You can find the mean of a Numpy array using the np.mean() function. This function takes in an array as an argument and returns the mean of all the values in the array.  For example, the mean of a Numpy array of [1,2,3,4,5] would be  result = np.mean([1,2,3,4,5])  print(result)  #Output: 3.0 Standard Deviation To find the standard deviation of a Numpy array, you can use the NumPy std() function. This function takes in an array as a par

IBM PML Vs Google MapReduce why you need to read

IBM Parallel Machine Learning Toolbox (PML) is similar to that of Google's MapReduce programming model (Dean and Ghemawat, 2004) and the open source Hadoop system,which is to provide Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) that enable programmers who have no prior experience in parallel and distributed systems to nevertheless implement parallel algorithms with relative ease.

Google MapReduce Vs IBM PML

  1. Like MapReduce and Hadoop, PML supports associative-commutative computations as its primary parallelization mechanism
  2. Unlike MapReduce and Hadoop, PML fundamentally assumes that learning algorithms can be iterative in nature, requiring multiple passes over data.
  3. The ability to maintain the state of each worker node between iterations, making it possible, for example, to partition and distribute data structures across workers
  4. Efficient distribution of data, including the ability of each worker to read a subset of the data, to sample the data, or to scan the entire dataset.
  5. Access to both sparse and dense datasetsParallel merge operations using tree structures for efficient collection of worker results on very large clusters.
  6. In order to make these extensions to the computational model and still address ease of use, PML provides an object-oriented API in which algorithms are objects that implement a predefined set of interface methods.

PML Unique Features

  • The PML infrastructure then uses these interface methods to distribute algorithm objects and their computations across multiple compute nodes-An object-oriented approach is employed to simplify the task of writing code to maintain, update, and distribute complex data structures in parallel environments.
  • Several parallel machine learning and data mining algorithms have already been implemented in PML, including Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifiers, linear regression, transform regression, nearest neighbors classifiers, decision tree classifiers, k-means, fuzzy k-means, kernel k-means, principal component analysis (PCA), kernel PCA, and frequent pattern mining.
