| -pandas: a python data analysis library |
5 |
| -====================================== |
6 |
| - |
7 |
| -:mod:`pandas` is a python package providing convenient data structures |
8 |
| -for time series, cross-sectional, or any other form of "labeled" data, |
9 |
| -with tools for building statistical and econometric models. |
10 |
| - |
11 |
| -This library was created with the following design principles: |
12 |
| - |
13 |
| - - Working with time series and cross-sectional data should be easy |
14 |
| - - The user should not have to worry (much) about handling missing data |
15 |
| - - Data alignment should be automatic and transparent |
16 |
| - - Speed matters |
17 |
| - - Perhaps most importantly: *things should work just like you want them to* |
18 |
| - |
19 |
| -Many of these principles are here to address the shortcomings |
20 |
| -frequently experienced using other languages / scientific research |
21 |
| -environments. In MATLAB, for example, you spend a lot of time coercing |
22 |
| -data into matrices, cleaning and aligning it, and keeping everything |
23 |
| -homogeneous. You have to use lots of functions like **nanmean, nanstd, |
24 |
| -repmat** (for broadcasting), and other functions which help you to |
25 |
| -maintain reliable data. Using `NumPy <http://www.numpy.org>`__ and a |
26 |
| -Pythonic approach, pandas helps hide the dirty details of working with |
27 |
| -unclean data, allowing you to focus on the problem you're trying to |
28 |
| -solve rather than the implementation. |
29 |
| - |
30 |
| -pandas is implemented primarily using NumPy and is intended to be able |
31 |
| -to integrate very easily with other NumPy-based scientific libraries, |
32 |
| -such as :mod:`scikits.statsmodels`. |
33 |

34 |
| -.. note:: |
35 |
| - |
36 |
| - This documentation assumes general familiarity with NumPy. If you |
37 |
| - haven't used NumPy much or at all, please check out the `NumPy |
38 |
| - documentation <http://docs.scipy.org>`__ first. |
