Chapter 3
- NumPy offers efficient operations on multidimensional arrays, such as array creation, accessing elements (indexing) and slicing along specific axes, and optimized mathematical operations.
- Using pandas, you can apply "mapping" operations to data, group, aggregate, and summarize data.
- NumPy cannot handle labeled data, while pandas cannot process multidimensional data.
xarray
combines the best features of the two libraries to offer APIs the ability to handle multi-dimensional, labeled data.
