Python - Handling matrices with NumPy (slides)

This course material presents the manipulation of matrices using NumPy. The array type is common to vectors and matrices. The special feature is the addition of a second dimension in order to have values within a  rows x columns structure. The matrices pave the way to operators which play a fundamental role in statistical modeling and exploratory data analysis (e.g. matrix inversion, solving equations, calculation of eigenvalues and eigenvectors, singular value decomposition, etc.).

Python - Handling vectors with NumPy (slides)

Python is becoming more and more popular in the eyes of Data Scientists. I decided to introduce Statistical Programming in Python among my teachings at the University ( reference page in French ). This first course material described the handling of vectors of NumPy library. The structure and functionality have a certain similarity with the vectors under R.
