Get descriptive statistics numpy ndarray

Question

I use the following code to create numpy-ndarray. The file has 9 columns. I explicitly type each column:

dataset = np.genfromtxt("data.csv", delimiter=",",dtype=('|S1', float, float,float,float,float,float,float,int))

Now I would like to get some descriptive statistics for each column (min, max, stdev, mean, median, etc.). Shouldn't there be an easy way to do this?

I tried this:

from scipy import stats
stats.describe(dataset)

but this returns an error: TypeError: cannot perform reduce with flexible type

My question is: How to get descriptive statistics created numpy-ndarray.

Answer 1

, . , , dtypes, 1D- ( np.void), , , . .

, , pandas read_csv.

numpy:

import numpy as np
a = np.genfromtxt('sample.txt', delimiter=",",unpack=True,usecols=range(1,9))
s = np.genfromtxt('sample.txt', delimiter=",",unpack=True,usecols=0,dtype='|S1')

from scipy import stats
for arr in a: #do not need the loop at this point, but looks prettier
    print(stats.describe(arr))
#Output per print:
DescribeResult(nobs=6, minmax=(0.34999999999999998, 0.70999999999999996), mean=0.54500000000000004, variance=0.016599999999999997, skewness=-0.3049304880932534, kurtosis=-0.9943046886340534)

, dtype float, int, ( ) int arr.astype(int)

, genfromtxt, . 2d- 1d, . , - dtype .

genfromtxt doc :

>>> s = StringIO("1,1.3,abcde")
>>> data = np.genfromtxt(s, dtype=[('myint','i8'),('myfloat','f8'),
... ('mystring','S5')], delimiter=",")
>>> data
array((1, 1.3, 'abcde'),
      dtype=[('myint', '<i8'), ('myfloat', '<f8'), ('mystring', '|S5')])
