dimarray is a package to handle numpy arrays with labelled dimensions and axes
|
|
Inspired from pandas, it includes advanced alignment and reshaping features
|
|
and as well as missing-value (NaN) handling.
|
|
|
|
The main difference with pandas is that it is generalized to N dimensions, and
|
|
behaves more closely to a numpy array. The axes do not have fixed names
|
|
('index', 'columns', etc...) but are given a meaningful name by the user
|
|
(e.g. 'time', 'items', 'lon' ...). This is especially useful for high
|
|
dimensional problems such as sensitivity analyses.
|
|
|
|
A natural I/O format for such an array is netCDF, common in geophysics,
|
|
which relies on the netCDF4 package, and supports metadata. |
