Overview of this book

NumPy is one of the most important scientific computing libraries available for Python. Mastering Numerical Computing with NumPy teaches you how to achieve expert level competency to perform complex operations, with in-depth coverage of advanced concepts. Beginning with NumPy's arrays and functions, you will familiarize yourself with linear algebra concepts to perform vector and matrix math operations. You will thoroughly understand and practice data processing, exploratory data analysis (EDA), and predictive modeling. You will then move on to working on practical examples which will teach you how to use NumPy statistics in order to explore US housing data and develop a predictive model using simple and multiple linear regression techniques. Once you have got to grips with the basics, you will explore unsupervised learning and clustering algorithms, followed by understanding how to write better NumPy code while keeping advanced considerations in mind. The book also demonstrates the use of different high-performance numerical computing libraries and their relationship with NumPy. You will study how to benchmark the performance of different configurations and choose the best for your system. By the end of this book, you will have become an expert in handling and performing complex data manipulations.

Summary

In this chapter, you have learned the basics of unsupervised learning and using the k-means algorithm for clustering.

There are many clustering algorithms that show different behavior. Visualization is key when it comes to unsupervised learning algorithms, and you have seen a couple of different ways to visualize and inspect your dataset.

In the next chapter, you will learn other libraries which are commonly used with NumPy such as SciPy, Pandas and scikit-learn. These are all important libraries in the practitioner's toolkit, and they complement one another. You will find yourself using these libraries together with NumPy, as each will make certain tasks easier; hence, it's important to know more about the Python data science stack.
