SciPy


SciPy (pronounced sigh pi) adds a layer to NumPy that wraps common scientific and statistical applications on top of the more purely mathematical constructs of NumPy. SciPy provides higher-level functions for manipulating and visualizing data, and it is especially useful when using Python interactively. SciPy is organized into sub-packages covering different scientific computing applications. A list of the packages most relevant to ML and their functions appear as follows:

Package

Description

cluster

This contains two sub-packages:

cluster.vq for K-means clustering and vector quantization.

cluster.hierachy for hierarchical and agglomerative clustering, which is useful for distance matrices, calculating statistics on clusters, as well as visualizing clusters with dendrograms.

constants

These are physical and mathematical constants such as pi and e.

integrate

These are differential equation solvers

interpolate

These are interpolation functions for creating new data...
