Working with vectors it’s nice to have a quick way to print the values contained.

Fit data using PyROOT… and plot the result using matplotlib
ROOT is a powerful tool for data processing but the learning curve can be quite steep. Python on the other hand is in general easy to use but specially function fitting is less developed. Using a combination of ROOT trough PyROOT and Python with matplotlib and seaborn we can try to get the best of […]
Academic starter-kit
Data analysis Having dabbled with everything from Excel to Matlab I settled on using Python for the main part of the data analysis that I do. This includes everything from curve fitting to processing some tens of GB of data from hybrid pixel detectors. With a large user base lots of open source tools it is […]
