Convert pandas dataframe to NumPy array

Question

I am interested in knowing how to convert a pandas dataframe into a NumPy array.

dataframe:

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

index = [1, 2, 3,         


        

Answer 1

Two ways to convert the data-frame to its Numpy-array representation.

• mah_np_array = df.as_matrix(columns=None)

• mah_np_array = df.values
