Examples

We import vastorbit:

import vastorbit as vo

Hint

By assigning an alias to vastorbit, we mitigate the risk of code collisions with other libraries. This precaution is necessary because vastorbit uses commonly known function names like “average” and “median”, which can potentially lead to naming conflicts. The use of an alias ensures that the functions from vastorbit are used as intended without interfering with functions from other libraries.

For this example, we will use the amazon dataset.

import vastorbit.datasets as vod

amazon = vod.load_amazon()
