The new method mimics the complex alignment of a heart's contracting elements (a difficult feat so far) while producing tissue…

Functional programming lets a coder the ease of using functions and are good with data science pipelines Functional programming is a paradigm in programming, wherein we can code everything using just mathematical functions. Unlike OOPS programming, it is only concerned with ‘what’s rather than ‘how’s of solving a problem. With functional programming, learning new tools, paradigms, and perspectives is more fun and always results in a cleaner code. A compact way of programming is what a functional programming…

Useful for binning multivariate dataPhoto by Dewi Ika Putri on UnsplashIn this article, I will present the concept of the functional histogram, a histogram for multivariate data, and present its simple implementation in Python with the help of the NumPy and Pandas libraries. Such a tool gives the first adhoc information about the distribution of multivariate objects and is a good starting step in the investigation of multidimensional datasets. Finally, I will show its visualization for some exemplary simulated dataset…
