Extracting specific columns in numpy array

if you want to extract only some columns:

idx_IN_columns = [1, 9]
extractedData = data[:,idx_IN_columns]

if you want to exclude specific columns:

idx_OUT_columns = [1, 9]
idx_IN_columns = [i for i in xrange(np.shape(data)[1]) if i not in idx_OUT_columns]
extractedData = data[:,idx_IN_columns]

I assume you wanted columns 1 and 9?

To select multiple columns at once, use

X = data[:, [1, 9]]

To select one at a time, use

x, y = data[:, 1], data[:, 9]

With names:

data[:, ['Column Name1','Column Name2']]

You can get the names from data.dtype.names…

Assuming you want to get columns 1 and 9 with that code snippet, it should be:

extractedData = data[:,[1,9]]
