A programming paradigm is the model or approach used to logically organize a program. It defines how different parts of a program interact and work together. A programming paradigm encompasses three key aspects: Paradigms Let’s explore the main types of programming paradigms Imperative Paradigm This paradigm involves giving the computer explicit, step-by-step instructions using variables,…

Inside Dicom
In a previous blog post, we explored how to read the content of a DICOM file, including its numerous tags. These tags provide insights into the study type, characteristics, and all relevant patient and study information. Now, we’ll focus on the most crucial tag—the one containing the images. A typical study can include anywhere from…
Matplotlib (2)
Following our general introduction to the matplotlib environment, let’s explore the types of graphs this Python library can produce. Among the most commonly used graphs for data presentation are: Histograms Histograms primarily illustrate the distribution of a continuous variable. The data is divided into uniform intervals (bins), and the frequency of each bin is represented….
Matplotlib (1)
Python offers several libraries for creating professional graphs, but Matplotlib stands out as the foundation upon which many others are built. Often referred to by its alias “plt,” Matplotlib enables users to generate complex, element-rich graphs as well as multiple visualizations. Another popular library, Seaborn (alias “sns”), functions as an extension of Matplotlib and requires…
Character Encoding
Character encoding is the process of assigning a unique number to each character, enabling computers to exchange data in a standardized and unambiguous manner. Various encoding systems have developed over time and across different regions. These systems often lack compatibility, have space limitations (and consequently character limitations), and may use the same encoding for different…
Moments
The concept of “moment” has various interpretations depending on context, but generally refers to a unit of time, a specific occasion, or a particular state. In mechanics, a “moment” is the tendency of a force to rotate a body around a point or axis. In other contexts, it can refer to a precise instant in…
How many Sums of Squares we’re dealing with in Repeated Measures ANOVA?
When setting up a repeated measures ANOVA test in SPSS, the dialog box for the model has “Type 3 sum of squares” selected by default. By exploring the window further, you’ll find that you can also choose Type 1, Type 2, or Type 4 sum of squares. How many types of Sums of Squares are…
SQL databases
In Python data management, SQL databases become essential when dealing with large data volumes. These databases efficiently handle extensive structured data, offering robust features for complex querying, maintaining data integrity, and managing storage effectively. As datasets grow in size and complexity, SQL databases provide the necessary scalability, performance optimization, and data consistency mechanisms crucial for…
Python Environments
Python has a rich standard library that covers basic functionalities and common tasks in programming. This includes modules for file handling, system operations, networking, and simple web development, allowing you to accomplish many tasks without additional tools. However, for more complex or specialized programs, you often need external libraries. These libraries significantly extend the program’s…
