class numpy.dtype [source] Create a data type object. A numpy array is homogeneous, and contains elements described by a dtype object. A dtype object can be constructed from different combinations of fundamental numeric types. Parameters: obj Object to be converted to a data type object. align : bool, optional Add padding to the fields to match what a C compiler would output for a similar C-struct. Can be True only if obj is a dictionary or a comma-separated string. If a struct dtype is

RandomState.uniform(low=0.0, high=1.0, size=None) Draw samples from a uniform distribution. Samples are uniformly distributed over the half-open interval [low, high) (includes low, but excludes high). In other words, any value within the given interval is equally likely to be drawn by uniform. Parameters: low : float, optional Lower boundary of the output interval. All values generated will be greater than or equal to low. The default value is 0. high : float Upper boundary of the outpu

RandomState.pareto(a, size=None) Draw samples from a Pareto II or Lomax distribution with specified shape. The Lomax or Pareto II distribution is a shifted Pareto distribution. The classical Pareto distribution can be obtained from the Lomax distribution by adding 1 and multiplying by the scale parameter m (see Notes). The smallest value of the Lomax distribution is zero while for the classical Pareto distribution it is mu, where the standard Pareto distribution has location mu = 1. Lomax c

dtype.name A bit-width name for this data-type. Un-sized flexible data-type objects do not have this attribute.

ndarray.flags Information about the memory layout of the array. Notes The flags object can be accessed dictionary-like (as in a.flags['WRITEABLE']), or by using lowercased attribute names (as in a.flags.writeable). Short flag names are only supported in dictionary access. Only the UPDATEIFCOPY, WRITEABLE, and ALIGNED flags can be changed by the user, via direct assignment to the attribute or dictionary entry, or by calling ndarray.setflags. The array flags cannot be set arbitrarily: UPDATEI

RandomState.wald(mean, scale, size=None) Draw samples from a Wald, or inverse Gaussian, distribution. As the scale approaches infinity, the distribution becomes more like a Gaussian. Some references claim that the Wald is an inverse Gaussian with mean equal to 1, but this is by no means universal. The inverse Gaussian distribution was first studied in relationship to Brownian motion. In 1956 M.C.K. Tweedie used the name inverse Gaussian because there is an inverse relationship between the t

numpy.nanmedian(a, axis=None, out=None, overwrite_input=False, keepdims=False) [source] Compute the median along the specified axis, while ignoring NaNs. Returns the median of the array elements. New in version 1.9.0. Parameters: a : array_like Input array or object that can be converted to an array. axis : {int, sequence of int, None}, optional Axis or axes along which the medians are computed. The default is to compute the median along a flattened version of the array. A sequence of

class numpy.matrix [source] Returns a matrix from an array-like object, or from a string of data. A matrix is a specialized 2-D array that retains its 2-D nature through operations. It has certain special operators, such as * (matrix multiplication) and ** (matrix power). Parameters: data : array_like or string If data is a string, it is interpreted as a matrix with commas or spaces separating columns, and semicolons separating rows. dtype : data-type Data-type of the output matrix. co

MaskedArray.ctypes An object to simplify the interaction of the array with the ctypes module. This attribute creates an object that makes it easier to use arrays when calling shared libraries with the ctypes module. The returned object has, among others, data, shape, and strides attributes (see Notes below) which themselves return ctypes objects that can be used as arguments to a shared library. Parameters: None Returns: c : Python object Possessing attributes data, shape, strides, etc.

New in version 1.6.0. This module provides a number of objects (mostly functions) useful for dealing with HermiteE series, including a HermiteE class that encapsulates the usual arithmetic operations. (General information on how this module represents and works with such polynomials is in the docstring for its ?parent? sub-package, numpy.polynomial). HermiteE Class HermiteE(coef[, domain, window]) An HermiteE series class. Basics hermeval(x, c[, tensor]) Evaluate an HermiteE series at p
