Troubleshooting & Best Practices | Common Issues | Performance Optimization | Best Practices

Common Issues

  • Array Creation Errors: Ensure input data is in correct format (lists, tuples). Check that all elements are compatible types. Verify array shape matches operations
  • Import Errors: Verify all dependencies installed: pip install -r requirements.txt. Check Python version (3.7+). Verify NumPy is installed: pip install numpy
  • Shape Mismatch Errors: Verify array shapes are compatible for operations. Check broadcasting rules. Use arr.shape to inspect array dimensions
  • Type Errors: Ensure numeric data types are correct. Use arr.dtype to check types. Convert types with arr.astype() if needed
  • File Loading Errors: Check file path is correct. Verify file format is supported (.npy, .npz, CSV, text). Check file exists and has proper permissions
  • Slow Performance: Use vectorized operations instead of Python loops. Leverage NumPy's universal functions (ufuncs). Use appropriate data types. Consider memory-mapped arrays for large data
  • Memory Issues: Use memory-mapped arrays (np.memmap) for large datasets. Use appropriate data types to reduce memory. Delete unused arrays. Check array size with arr.nbytes
  • Index Errors: Verify index values are within array bounds. Use arr.shape to check dimensions. Use proper slicing syntax
  • Broadcasting Errors: Verify array shapes are compatible for broadcasting. Check broadcasting rules. Use np.broadcast_arrays() to test compatibility
  • Save/Load Errors: Verify permissions to save files. Check file path is writable. Ensure directory exists. Use correct file extensions (.npy, .npz, .csv)
  • Linear Algebra Errors: Verify matrices are square for inversion. Check matrix dimensions match for multiplication. Ensure matrices are not singular for inversion
  • NaN/Inf Handling: Use np.isnan() and np.isinf() to detect invalid values. Use masked arrays for missing data. Replace invalid values appropriately

Performance Optimization Tips

  • Data Extracts: Create .hyper extracts for faster performance. Schedule regular extract refreshes
  • Data Filtering: Filter data at the source when possible. Use context filters for better performance
  • Calculated Fields: Optimize calculated field formulas. Use simpler calculations where possible. Cache frequently used calculations
  • Visualization Complexity: Limit number of marks in visualizations. Use aggregations before detail level
  • Data Preprocessing: Clean and validate data before analysis. Handle missing values appropriately
  • Data Validation: Check data types, missing values, and duplicates early in the process
  • Notebook Performance: Use appropriate data types. Avoid loading entire large datasets into memory at once
  • Code Organization: Break complex operations into smaller steps. Use functions for reusable code

Best Practices

  • Array Quality: Ensure arrays are created correctly with proper shapes and data types. Validate array contents before operations
  • Array Format: Always validate array shapes and data types before performing operations
  • Data Types: Use appropriate dtypes (int, float, complex) to balance precision and memory usage
  • Array Size: For large arrays (100K+ elements), use memory-mapped arrays or process in chunks for better performance
  • Code Style: Follow PEP 8 guidelines. Use meaningful variable names. Add comments for complex operations
  • Error Handling: Use try-except blocks for array operations. Validate arrays before processing
  • Array Validation: Always check array shapes, data types, and contents before analysis
  • Save Formats: Save arrays to .npy (native), .npz (compressed), or CSV formats for sharing and further analysis
  • Operation Types: Choose appropriate NumPy operations (vectorized operations, ufuncs, linear algebra) for better performance
  • Documentation: Document your code and array operations. Use markdown cells in Jupyter notebooks
  • Testing: Test your code with sample arrays before processing large datasets
  • Sharing: Share notebooks via Jupyter Notebook Viewer, GitHub, or export as HTML/PDF

Use Cases and Applications

  • Array Manipulation: Create, reshape, and manipulate arrays for various numerical computing tasks
  • Mathematical Operations: Perform element-wise and array-wide mathematical operations, statistics, and analysis
  • Linear Algebra: Solve linear systems, compute eigenvalues, perform matrix operations and decompositions
  • Statistical Analysis: Calculate statistical measures (mean, std, variance) and perform statistical computations
  • Broadcasting and Vectorization: Efficiently perform operations on arrays of different shapes using broadcasting
  • Performance Optimization: Optimize numerical computations using vectorization, memory-mapped arrays, and efficient algorithms
  • File I/O: Save and load arrays in various formats (.npy, .npz, CSV, text) for data persistence
  • Advanced Indexing: Use advanced indexing techniques (boolean, fancy, structured) for array manipulation
  • Structured Arrays: Work with structured arrays and masked arrays for complex data structures
  • Scientific Computing: Use NumPy as the foundation for scientific computing, machine learning, and data science projects

Performance Benchmarks

Expected performance for different data sizes:

Data Size Rows Load Time Dashboard Render Memory Usage
Small 1K - 10K < 2 seconds < 1 second < 100 MB
Medium 10K - 100K 2-5 seconds 1-3 seconds 100-300 MB
Large 100K - 1M 5-15 seconds 3-8 seconds 300-800 MB
Very Large 1M+ 15-60 seconds 8-30 seconds 800+ MB

Note: Performance depends on hardware, data complexity, and dashboard design. Use data extracts for better performance with large datasets. Consider data filtering and aggregations for optimal performance.
