Abstract
In this paper we are concerned with the practical issues of working with data sets common to finance, statistics, and other related fields. pandas is a new library which aims to facilitate working with these data sets and to provide a set of fundamental building blocks for implementing statistical models. We will discuss specific design issues encountered in the course of developing pandas with relevant examples and some comparisons with the R language. We conclude by discussing possible future directions for statistical computing and data analysis using Python.

The LKPY Package for Recommender Systems Experiments: Next-Generation Tools and Lessons Learned from the LensKit Project

TL;DR: A set of research tools that should significantly increase research velocity and provide much smoother integration with other software such as Keras while maintaining the same level of reproducibility as a LensKit experiment are described.

Genetic diversity and heritability of economically important traits in captive Australasian snapper (Chrysophrys auratus)

TL;DR: Results suggest that selection for higher growth could result in 4.6–15.7% and 1.4–4.9% improvement per generation, in the first and third years, respectively.

Cyanophage-encoded lipid desaturases: oceanic distribution, diversity and function

TL;DR: It is suggested that cyanophages are capable of fiddling with the infected host’s membranes, possibly leading to increased photoprotection and potentially enhancing viral-encoded photosynthetic proteins, resulting in a new viral metabolic network.

Probabilistic prediction of geomagnetic storms and the Kp index

TL;DR: It is shown that including operationally-available information about solar irradiance enhances the ability of predictive models to capture the onset of geomagnetic storms and that this can be achieved while also enabling probabilistic forecasts.
