Jupyter

Official Site​

Project Jupyter | Home

Jupyter Notebooks are browser-based applications that allow users to create and share documents containing code, equations, visualizations, narrative text, and links. Originally developed as iPython for Python programming, Jupyter Notebooks now support multiple programming languages, including Julia, Python, and R, among others. They serve as a versatile tool for data scientists, enabling them to document and share their experiments and results in a reproducible manner.

Key Features​

  • Integration of Content: Combines descriptive text, code blocks, and code output in a single file.
  • Interactive Execution: Executes code within the notebook to generate outputs such as plots and tables.
  • Export Capabilities: Allows exporting of notebooks to PDF or HTML formats for easy sharing.

Use Cases​

Jupyter Notebooks are widely used in data science for recording experiments and results. They are also valuable in educational settings for creating interactive teaching materials.

JupyterLab​

Overview​

JupyterLab is an advanced interface for Jupyter Notebooks, providing a more flexible and integrated environment. It is a browser-based application that allows users to manage multiple Jupyter Notebook files, other code files, and data files within a single interface. JupyterLab is open-source and compatible with various file formats, such as CSV, JSON, PDF, and Vega.

Functionalities​

  • Multi-Notebook Management: Supports working with multiple notebooks, text editors, terminals, and custom components.
  • Cloud Integration: Compatible with cloud-based services like IBM and Google Colab, which do not require local installation.
  • Standard File Format: Uses the standard IPython Notebook file format for import and export.
  • Installation Options: Can be installed via the command line using pip install or downloaded through the Anaconda Platform from Anaconda. com.

Resources for Jupyter Notebooks​

  • GitHub Jupyter Wiki: A comprehensive source for Jupyter Notebooks is the Jupyter GitHub Wiki. It provides a wide range of notebooks covering different topics.
  • Downloading and Importing Notebooks: You can download notebooks to your local computer or import them into a cloud-based notebook tool to run, modify, and apply the contents.
  • Rendered View: Often, Jupyter Notebooks are shared in a rendered view, allowing you to see the output as if the notebook were running locally. If a link is provided to the raw .ipynb file, you can use NB-Viewer to render it online.

Here are some useful notebooks for various tasks in data science:

Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)​
