numpy confusion

Hi all,

I'm trying to do some calculations with NumPy but apparently didn't
quite got the basics. For example I need Exponential Moving Average
function. That is, I have an array of values and want to apply a
function F(current, previous) to each element of the array. How can I
pass the 'previous' element to the function? In plain python it would
be a simple loop:

for index in arange(len(in_d ata[1:])):
result[index] = F(in_data[index], result[index-1])

I assume it's somehow possible with numpy.frompyfun c() and actually
found one example in SciPy TimeSeries library. Unfortunately I don't
fully understand how that one works :-/

Is anyone able to shed some light on this thing?

Thanks

Has anyone recompiled the Scientific Computing package using NumPy instead of Numeric? I need a least squares algorithm and a Newton Rhaphson algorithm which is contained in Numeric but all the documentation out there says that Numeric is crap and all code should be using NumPy. Thanks, Bryan

Howdy, I'm a college student and for one of we are writing programs to numerically compute the parameters of antenna arrays. I decided to use Python to code up my programs.

To invert the matrix I've tried using numpy.numarray.linear_algebra.inverse and...

I wanted to point anybody interested to a blog post that describes a useful pattern for having a NumPy array that points to the memory created by a different memory manager than the standard one used by NumPy. The pattern shows how to create a NumPy array that points to previously allocated memory and then shows how to construct an object that allows the correct deallocator to be called when the NumPy array is freed. This may be...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
