I want to get the intersecting (common) rows across two 2D numpy arrays. E.g., if the following arrays are passed as inputs:
array([[1, 4],
[2, 5],
[3, 6]])
array([[1, 4],
[3, 6],
[7, 8]])
the output should be:
array([[1, 4],
[3, 6])
I know how to do this with loops. I'm looking at a Pythonic/Numpy way to do this.
For short arrays, using sets is probably the clearest and most readable way to do it.
Another way is to use numpy.intersect1d. You'll have to trick it into treating the rows as a single value, though... This makes things a bit less readable...
import numpy as np
A = np.array([[1,4],[2,5],[3,6]])
B = np.array([[1,4],[3,6],[7,8]])
nrows, ncols = A.shape
dtype={'names':['f{}'.format(i) for i in range(ncols)],
'formats':ncols * [A.dtype]}
C = np.intersect1d(A.view(dtype), B.view(dtype))
# This last bit is optional if you're okay with "C" being a structured array...
C = C.view(A.dtype).reshape(-1, ncols)
For large arrays, this should be considerably faster than using sets.
You could use Python's sets:
>>> import numpy as np
>>> A = np.array([[1,4],[2,5],[3,6]])
>>> B = np.array([[1,4],[3,6],[7,8]])
>>> aset = set([tuple(x) for x in A])
>>> bset = set([tuple(x) for x in B])
>>> np.array([x for x in aset & bset])
array([[1, 4],
[3, 6]])
As Rob Cowie points out, this can be done more concisely as
np.array([x for x in set(tuple(x) for x in A) & set(tuple(x) for x in B)])
There's probably a way to do this without all the going back and forth from arrays to tuples, but it's not coming to me right now.
I could not understand why there is no suggested pure numpy way to get this working. So I found one, that uses numpy broadcast. The basic idea is to transform one of the arrays to 3d by axes swapping. Let's construct 2 arrays:
a=np.random.randint(10, size=(5, 3))
b=np.zeros_like(a)
b[:4,:]=a[np.random.randint(a.shape[0], size=4), :]
With my run it gave:
a=array([[5, 6, 3],
[8, 1, 0],
[2, 1, 4],
[8, 0, 6],
[6, 7, 6]])
b=array([[2, 1, 4],
[2, 1, 4],
[6, 7, 6],
[5, 6, 3],
[0, 0, 0]])
The steps are (arrays can be interchanged) :
#a is nxm and b is kxm
c = np.swapaxes(a[:,:,None],1,2)==b #transform a to nx1xm
# c has nxkxm dimensions due to comparison broadcast
# each nxixj slice holds comparison matrix between a[j,:] and b[i,:]
# Decrease dimension to nxk with product:
c = np.prod(c,axis=2)
#To get around duplicates://
# Calculate cumulative sum in k-th dimension
c= c*np.cumsum(c,axis=0)
# compare with 1, so that to get only one 'True' statement by row
c=c==1
#//
# sum in k-th dimension, so that a nx1 vector is produced
c=np.sum(c,axis=1).astype(bool)
# The intersection between a and b is a[c]
result=a[c]
In a function with 2 lines for used memory reduction (correct me if wrong):
def array_row_intersection(a,b):
tmp=np.prod(np.swapaxes(a[:,:,None],1,2)==b,axis=2)
return a[np.sum(np.cumsum(tmp,axis=0)*tmp==1,axis=1).astype(bool)]
which gave result for my example:
result=array([[5, 6, 3],
[2, 1, 4],
[6, 7, 6]])
This is faster than set solutions, as it makes use only of simple numpy operations, while it reduces constantly dimensions, and is ideal for two big matrices. I guess I might have made mistakes in my comments, as I got the answer by experimentation and instinct. The equivalent for column intersection can either be found by transposing the arrays or by changing the steps a little. Also, if duplicates are wanted, then the steps inside "//" have to be skipped. The function can be edited to return only the boolean array of the indices, which came handy to me ,while trying to get different arrays indices with the same vector. Benchmark for the voted answer and mine (number of elements in each dimension plays role on what to choose):
Code:
def voted_answer(A,B):
nrows, ncols = A.shape
dtype={'names':['f{}'.format(i) for i in range(ncols)],
'formats':ncols * [A.dtype]}
C = np.intersect1d(A.view(dtype), B.view(dtype))
return C.view(A.dtype).reshape(-1, ncols)
a_small=np.random.randint(10, size=(10, 10))
b_small=np.zeros_like(a_small)
b_small=a_small[np.random.randint(a_small.shape[0],size=[a_small.shape[0]]),:]
a_big_row=np.random.randint(10, size=(10, 1000))
b_big_row=a_big_row[np.random.randint(a_big_row.shape[0],size=[a_big_row.shape[0]]),:]
a_big_col=np.random.randint(10, size=(1000, 10))
b_big_col=a_big_col[np.random.randint(a_big_col.shape[0],size=[a_big_col.shape[0]]),:]
a_big_all=np.random.randint(10, size=(100,100))
b_big_all=a_big_all[np.random.randint(a_big_all.shape[0],size=[a_big_all.shape[0]]),:]
print 'Small arrays:'
print '\t Voted answer:',timeit.timeit(lambda:voted_answer(a_small,b_small),number=100)/100

print 'Big column arrays:'

with results:
Small arrays:
Voted answer: 7.47108459473e-05
Proposed answer: 2.47001647949e-05
Big column arrays:
Voted answer: 0.00198730945587
Proposed answer: 0.0560171294212
Big row arrays:
Voted answer: 0.00500325918198
Proposed answer: 0.000308241844177
Big arrays:
Voted answer: 0.000864889621735
Proposed answer: 0.00257176160812
Following verdict is that if you have to compare 2 big 2d arrays of 2d points then use voted answer. If you have big matrices in all dimensions, voted answer is the best one by all means. So, it depends on what you choose each time.
Numpy broadcasting
We can create a boolean mask using broadcasting which can be then used to filter the rows in array A which are also present in array B
A = np.array([[1,4],[2,5],[3,6]])
B = np.array([[1,4],[3,6],[7,8]])
m = (A[:, None] == B).all(-1).any(1)
>>> A[m]
array([[1, 4],
[3, 6]])
Another way to achieve this using structured array:
>>> a = np.array([[3, 1, 2], [5, 8, 9], [7, 4, 3]])
>>> b = np.array([[2, 3, 0], [3, 1, 2], [7, 4, 3]])
>>> av = a.view([('', a.dtype)] * a.shape[1]).ravel()
>>> bv = b.view([('', b.dtype)] * b.shape[1]).ravel()
>>> np.intersect1d(av, bv).view(a.dtype).reshape(-1, a.shape[1])
array([[3, 1, 2],
[7, 4, 3]])
Just for clarity, the structured view looks like this:
>>> a.view([('', a.dtype)] * a.shape[1])
array([[(3, 1, 2)],
[(5, 8, 9)],
[(7, 4, 3)]],
dtype=[('f0', '<i8'), ('f1', '<i8'), ('f2', '<i8')])
np.array(set(map(tuple, b)).difference(set(map(tuple, a))))
This could also work

Something very simple in Matlab, but I can't get it in Python. How to get the following:
x=np.array([1,2,3])
y=np.array([4,5,6,7])
z=x.T*y
z=
[[4,5,6,7],
[8,10,12,14],
[12,15,18,21]]
As in
x [4][5][6][7]
[1]
[2]
[3]
In scientific python that would be an outer product np.outer(x,y)
See http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/generated/numpy.outer.html:
import numpy;
>>> x=numpy.array([1,2,3])
>>> y=numpy.array([4,5,6,7])
>>> numpy.outer(x,y)
array([[ 4, 5, 6, 7],
[ 8, 10, 12, 14],
[12, 15, 18, 21]])
In MATLAB, size(x) is (1,3). So x' is (3,1). Multiply that by y, which is (1,4), produces (3,4) shape.
In numpy, x.shape is (3,). x.T is the same. So to get the same outer product, you need to expand the dimensions of x and y. One way is with reshape.
z = x.reshape(3,1)* y.reshape(1,4)
numpy also lets you do this with a newaxis indexing (None also works). It also automatically adds beginning newaxis if that is needed. So this also does the job:
z = x[:,np.newaxis]*y
np.outer does exactly this (with a minor embelishment): a.ravel()[:, newaxis]*b.ravel()[newaxis,:].
There's another tool in numpy
z = np.einsum('i,j->ij',x,y)
It is based on an indexing notation that is popular in physics, and is especially useful in writing more complicated inner (dot) products.
Using list comprehension:
x = [1, 2, 3]
y = [4, 5, 6, 7]
z = [[i * j for j in y] for i in x]
I am looking for a way to achieve the following in Python and can't figure out how to do it:
a=[[0,1],[1,0],[1,1]]
b=[1,0,5]
c=hocuspocus(a,b)
--> c=[[0,1],[0,0],[5,5]]
So basically I would like to multiply the different matrix rows in a with the list b.
Thanks a lot in advance!
hocuspocus = lambda a,b: [[r*q for r in p] for p, q in zip(a,b)]
Use Numpy, it has a function for cross multiplying, and other useful tools for matricies.
import * from numpy as np
a=[[0,1],[1,0],[1,1]]
b=[1,0,5]
prod = a * b
Python lists don't support that behaviour directly, but Numpy arrays do matrix multiplication (and various other matrix operations that you might want) directly:
>>> a
array([[0, 1, 1],
[1, 0, 1]])
>>> b
array([1, 0, 5])
>>> a * b
array([[0, 0, 5],
[1, 0, 5]])
