mlpack VS cheatsheets

Does C++ have the equivalent of Pandas or Apache Spark? Are there extensive libraries that exist/are being developed that allow you to perform operations with data? Or do people just use a combination of Python & its various libraries (NumPy etc)? If we leave aside the data bit, are there libraries that allow you to develop ML models in C++ (mlpack for instance ) faster & more efficiently compared to their Python counterparts (scikit-learn)? On a more general note, how does C++ fit into the routine of a Quant Researcher? And at what scale does an organization decide they need to start switching to other languages and spend more time developing the code ?

mlpack is a great library for machine learning in C++. It's very fast and not too much of a learning curve.

This toolkit was originally part of the mlpack machine learning library (https://github.com/mlpack/mlpack) before it was split out into a separate, standalone effort.

Matplotlib - A Python 2D plotting library.

Data visualization: utilizing Python's Matplotlib for visualizing order book information.

Python's pandas, NumPy, and SciPy libraries offer powerful functionality for data manipulation, while matplotlib, seaborn, and plotly provide versatile tools for creating visualizations. Similarly, in R, you can use dplyr, tidyverse, and data.table for data manipulation, and ggplot2, lattice, and shiny for visualization. These packages enable you to create insightful visualizations and perform statistical analyses without relying on expensive or proprietary software.

programming language: basic python, pandas, matplotlib -- you'll probably do these in school, but if not https://cs50.harvard.edu/python/2022/ https://matplotlib.org/
