Exponential Fit with SciPy’s curve_fit()

by

In this article, you’ll explore how to generate exponential fits by exploiting the curve_fit() function from the Scipy library. SciPy’s curve_fit() allows building custom fit functions with which we can describe data points that follow an exponential trend. In the first part of the article, the curve_fit() function is used to fit the exponential trend … Read more

Calculating Entropy with SciPy

by

Problem: How to calculate the entropy with the SciPy library? Solution: Import the entropy() function from the scipy.stats module and pass the probability and the base of the logarithm into it. Try It Yourself: Run this code in the interactive code shell! Exercise: Change the probabilities. How does the entropy change? Let’s start slowly! You’ll … Read more
