1000x faster data manipulation: vectorizing with Pandas and Numpy

Nathan Cheever @AdvancedMD Ds

• For loop vs vectorization
• Vectorization working with array or series without for loops, rather all at once.
  • You are probably already doing that to some degree
• To perform conditional vectorization do: numpy.where()
• Numpy.vectorize()
• Numpy.select() for multiple ifs / elifs
• Pd.shift() to create anoer plumn with values shofted
• talked about Dask
• Kubernetes shirt
