Iterate over all pairwise combinations of numpy array columns - python

I have an numpy array of size
arr.size = (200, 600, 20).
I want to compute scipy.stats.kendalltau on every pairwise combination of the last two dimensions. For example:
kendalltau(arr[:, 0, 0], arr[:, 1, 0])
kendalltau(arr[:, 0, 0], arr[:, 1, 1])
kendalltau(arr[:, 0, 0], arr[:, 1, 2])
...
kendalltau(arr[:, 0, 0], arr[:, 2, 0])
kendalltau(arr[:, 0, 0], arr[:, 2, 1])
kendalltau(arr[:, 0, 0], arr[:, 2, 2])
...
...
kendalltau(arr[:, 598, 20], arr[:, 599, 20])
such that I cover all combinations of arr[:, i, xi] with arr[:, j, xj] with i < j and xi in [0,20), xj in [0, 20). This is (600 choose 2) * 400 individual calculations, but since each takes about 0.002 s on my machine, it shouldn't take much longer than a day with the multiprocessing module.
What's the best way to go about iterating over these columns (with i<j)? I figure I should avoid something like
for i in range(600):
for j in range(i+1, 600):
for xi in range(20):
for xj in range(20):
What is the most numpythonic way of doing this?
Edit: I changed the title since Kendall Tau isn't really important to the question. I realize I could also do something like
import itertools as it
for i, j in it.combinations(xrange(600), 2):
for xi, xj in product(xrange(20), xrange(20)):
but there's got to be a better, more vectorized way with numpy.

The general way of vectorizing something like this is to use broadcasting to create the cartesian product of the set with itself. In your case you have an array arr of shape (200, 600, 20), so you would take two views of it:
arr_x = arr[:, :, np.newaxis, np.newaxis, :] # shape (200, 600, 1, 1, 20)
arr_y = arr[np.newaxis, np.newaxis, :, :, :] # shape (1, 1, 200, 600, 20)
The above two lines have been expanded for clarity, but I would normally write the equivalent:
arr_x = arr[:, :, None, None]
arr_y = arr
If you have a vectorized function, f, that did broadcasting on all but the last dimension, you could then do:
out = f(arr[:, :, None, None], arr)
And then out would be an array of shape (200, 600, 200, 600), with out[i, j, k, l] holding the value of f(arr[i, j], arr[k, l]). For instance, if you wanted to compute all the pairwise inner products, you could do:
from numpy.core.umath_tests import inner1d
out = inner1d(arr[:, :, None, None], arr)
Unfortunately scipy.stats.kendalltau is not vectorized like this. According to the docs
"If arrays are not 1-D, they will be flattened to 1-D."
So you cannot go about it like this, and you are going to wind up doing Python nested loops, be it explicitly writing them out, using itertools or disguising it under np.vectorize. That's going to be slow, because of the iteration on Python variables, and because you have a Python function per iteration step, which are both expensive actions.
Do note that, when you can go the vectorized way, there is an obvious drawback: if your function is commutative, i.e. if f(a, b) == f(b, a), then you are doing twice the computations needed. Depending on how expensive your actual computation is, this is very often offset by the increase in speed from not having any Python loops or function calls.

If you don't want to use recursion you should generally be using itertools.combinations. There is no specific reason (afaik) why this should cause your code to run slower. The computationally-intensive parts are still being handled by numpy. Itertools also has the advantage of readability.

How can I improve my custom function vectorization using numpy

I am new to python, and even more new to vectorization. I have attempted to vectorize a custom similarity function that should return a matrix of pairwise similarities between each row in an input array.
IMPORTS:
import numpy as np
from itertools import product
from numpy.lib.stride_tricks import sliding_window_view
INPUT:
np.random.seed(11)
a = np.array([0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 10, 0, 0, 0, 50, 0, 0, 5, 0, 0, 10])
b = np.array([0, 0, 5, 0, 0, 10, 0, 0, 0, 50, 0, 0, 10, 0, 0, 5])
c = np.array([0, 0, 5, 1, 0, 20, 0, 0, 0, 30, 0, 1, 10, 0, 0, 5])
m = np.array((a,b,c))
OUTPUT:
custom_func(m)
array([[ 0, 440, 1903],
[ 440, 0, 1603],
[1903, 1603, 0]])
FUNCTION:
def custom_func(arr):
diffs = 0
max_k = 6
for n in range(1, max_k):
arr1 = np.array([np.sum(i, axis = 1) for i in sliding_window_view(arr, window_shape = n, axis = 1)])
# this function uses np.maximum and np.minimum to subtract the max and min elements (element-wise) between two rows and then sum up the entire of that subtraction
diffs += np.sum((np.array([np.maximum(arr1[i[0]], arr1[i[1]]) for i in product(np.arange(len(arr1)), np.arange(len(arr1)))]) - np.array([np.minimum(arr1[i[0]], arr1[i[1]]) for i in product(np.arange(len(arr1)), np.arange(len(arr1)))])), axis = 1) * n
diffs = diffs.reshape(len(arr), -1)
return diffs
The function is quite simple, it sums up the element-wise differences between max and minimum of rows in N sliding windows. This function is much faster than what I was using before finding out about vectorization today (for loops and pandas dataframes yay).
My first thought is to figure out a way to find both the minimum and maximum of my arrays in a single pass since I currently THINK it has to do two passes, but I was unable to figure out how. Also there is a for loop in my current function because I need to do this for multiple N sliding windows, and I am not sure how to do this without the loop.
Any help is appreciated!
Here are the several optimizations you can apply on the code:
use the Numba's JIT to speed up the computation and replace the product call with nested loops
use a more efficient sliding window algorithm (better complexity)
avoid to compute multiple time product and arrange in the loop
reduce the number of implicit temporary arrays allocated (and array Numpy calls)
do not compute the lower triangular part of diffs since it will always be symmetric
(just copy the upper triangular part)
use integer-based indexing rather than slow slow floating-point one
Here is the resulting code:
import numpy as np
from itertools import product
from numpy.lib.stride_tricks import sliding_window_view
import numba as nb
#nb.njit
def custom_func_fast(arr):
h, w = arr.shape[0], arr.shape[1]
diffs = np.zeros((h, h), dtype=arr.dtype)
max_k = 6
for n in range(1, max_k):
arr1 = np.empty(shape=(h, w-n+1), dtype=arr.dtype)
for i in range(h):
# Efficient sliding window algorithm
assert w >= n
s = np.sum(arr[i, 0:n])
arr1[i, 0] = s
for j in range(n, w):
s -= arr[i, j-n]
s += arr[i, j]
arr1[i, j-n+1] = s
# Efficient distance matrix computation
for i in range(h):
for j in range(i+1, h):
s = 0
for k in range(w-n+1):
s += np.abs(arr1[i,k] - arr1[j,k])
diffs[i, j] += s * n
# Fill the lower triangular part
for i in range(h):
for j in range(i):
diffs[i, j] = diffs[j, i]
return diffs
The resulting code is 290 times faster on the example input array on my machine.
You can start by removing the first list comprehension:
arr1 = sliding_window_view(arr, window_shape = n, axis = 1).sum(axis=2)
I'm not going to touch that long diffs line :(

Replacing array at i`th dimension

Let's say I have a two-dimensional array
import numpy as np
a = np.array([[1, 1, 1], [2,2,2], [3,3,3]])
and I would like to replace the third vector (in the second dimension) with zeros. I would do
a[:, 2] = np.array([0, 0, 0])
But what if I would like to be able to do that programmatically? I mean, let's say that variable x = 1 contained the dimension on which I wanted to do the replacing. How would the function replace(arr, dimension, value, arr_to_be_replaced) have to look if I wanted to call it as replace(a, x, 2, np.array([0, 0, 0])?
numpy has a similar function, insert. However, it doesn't replace at dimension i, it returns a copy with an additional vector.
All solutions are welcome, but I do prefer a solution that doesn't recreate the array as to save memory.
arr[:, 1]
is basically shorthand for
arr[(slice(None), 1)]
that is, a tuple with slice elements and integers.
Knowing that, you can construct a tuple of slice objects manually, adjust the values depending on an axis parameter and use that as your index. So for
import numpy as np
arr = np.array([[1, 1, 1], [2, 2, 2], [3, 3, 3]])
axis = 1
idx = 2
arr[:, idx] = np.array([0, 0, 0])
# ^- axis position
you can use
slices = [slice(None)] * arr.ndim
slices[axis] = idx
arr[tuple(slices)] = np.array([0, 0, 0])

How to derive with respect to a Matrix element with Sympy

Given the product of a matrix and a vector
A.v
with A of shape (m,n) and v of dim n, where m and n are symbols, I need to calculate the Derivative with respect to the matrix elements.
I haven't found the way to use a proper vector, so I started with 2 MatrixSymbol:
n, m = symbols('n m')
j = tensor.Idx('j')
i = tensor.Idx('i')
l = tensor.Idx('l')
h = tensor.Idx('h')
A = MatrixSymbol('A', n,m)
B = MatrixSymbol('B', m,1)
C=A*B
Now, if I try to derive with respect to one of A's elements with the indices I get back the unevaluated expression:
diff(C, A[i,j])
>>>> Derivative(A*B, A[i, j])
If I introduce the indices in C also (it won't let me use only one index in the resulting vector) I get back the product expressed as a Sum:
C[l,h]
>>>> Sum(A[l, _k]*B[_k, h], (_k, 0, m - 1))
If I derive this with respect to the matrix element I end up getting 0 instead of an expression with the KroneckerDelta, which is the result that I would like to get:
diff(C[l,h], A[i,j])
>>>> 0
I wonder if maybe I shouldn't be using MatrixSymbols to start with. How should I go about implementing the behaviour that I want to get?
SymPy does not yet know matrix calculus; in particular, one cannot differentiate MatrixSymbol objects. You can do this sort of computation with Matrix objects filled with arrays of symbols; the drawback is that the matrix sizes must be explicit for this to work.
Example:
from sympy import *
A = Matrix(symarray('A', (4, 5)))
B = Matrix(symarray('B', (5, 3)))
C = A*B
print(C.diff(A[1, 2]))
outputs:
Matrix([[0, 0, 0], [B_2_0, B_2_1, B_2_2], [0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0]])
The git version of SymPy (and the next version) handles this better:
In [55]: print(diff(C[l,h], A[i,j]))
Sum(KroneckerDelta(_k, j)*KroneckerDelta(i, l)*B[_k, h], (_k, 0, m - 1))

Roll rows of a matrix independently

I have a matrix (2d numpy ndarray, to be precise):
A = np.array([[4, 0, 0],
[1, 2, 3],
[0, 0, 5]])
And I want to roll each row of A independently, according to roll values in another array:
r = np.array([2, 0, -1])
That is, I want to do this:
print np.array([np.roll(row, x) for row,x in zip(A, r)])
[[0 0 4]
[1 2 3]
[0 5 0]]
Is there a way to do this efficiently? Perhaps using fancy indexing tricks?
Sure you can do it using advanced indexing, whether it is the fastest way probably depends on your array size (if your rows are large it may not be):
rows, column_indices = np.ogrid[:A.shape[0], :A.shape[1]]
# Use always a negative shift, so that column_indices are valid.
# (could also use module operation)
r[r < 0] += A.shape[1]
column_indices = column_indices - r[:, np.newaxis]
result = A[rows, column_indices]
numpy.lib.stride_tricks.as_strided stricks (abbrev pun intended) again!
Speaking of fancy indexing tricks, there's the infamous - np.lib.stride_tricks.as_strided. The idea/trick would be to get a sliced portion starting from the first column until the second last one and concatenate at the end. This ensures that we can stride in the forward direction as needed to leverage np.lib.stride_tricks.as_strided and thus avoid the need of actually rolling back. That's the whole idea!
Now, in terms of actual implementation we would use scikit-image's view_as_windows to elegantly use np.lib.stride_tricks.as_strided under the hoods. Thus, the final implementation would be -
from skimage.util.shape import view_as_windows as viewW
def strided_indexing_roll(a, r):
# Concatenate with sliced to cover all rolls
a_ext = np.concatenate((a,a[:,:-1]),axis=1)
# Get sliding windows; use advanced-indexing to select appropriate ones
n = a.shape[1]
return viewW(a_ext,(1,n))[np.arange(len(r)), (n-r)%n,0]
Here's a sample run -
In [327]: A = np.array([[4, 0, 0],
...: [1, 2, 3],
...: [0, 0, 5]])
In [328]: r = np.array([2, 0, -1])
In [329]: strided_indexing_roll(A, r)
Out[329]:
array([[0, 0, 4],
[1, 2, 3],
[0, 5, 0]])
Benchmarking
# #seberg's solution
def advindexing_roll(A, r):
rows, column_indices = np.ogrid[:A.shape[0], :A.shape[1]]
r[r < 0] += A.shape[1]
column_indices = column_indices - r[:,np.newaxis]
return A[rows, column_indices]
Let's do some benchmarking on an array with large number of rows and columns -
In [324]: np.random.seed(0)
...: a = np.random.rand(10000,1000)
...: r = np.random.randint(-1000,1000,(10000))
# #seberg's solution
In [325]: %timeit advindexing_roll(a, r)
10 loops, best of 3: 71.3 ms per loop
# Solution from this post
In [326]: %timeit strided_indexing_roll(a, r)
10 loops, best of 3: 44 ms per loop
In case you want more general solution (dealing with any shape and with any axis), I modified #seberg's solution:
def indep_roll(arr, shifts, axis=1):
"""Apply an independent roll for each dimensions of a single axis.
Parameters
----------
arr : np.ndarray
Array of any shape.
shifts : np.ndarray
How many shifting to use for each dimension. Shape: `(arr.shape[axis],)`.
axis : int
Axis along which elements are shifted.
"""
arr = np.swapaxes(arr,axis,-1)
all_idcs = np.ogrid[[slice(0,n) for n in arr.shape]]
# Convert to a positive shift
shifts[shifts < 0] += arr.shape[-1]
all_idcs[-1] = all_idcs[-1] - shifts[:, np.newaxis]
result = arr[tuple(all_idcs)]
arr = np.swapaxes(result,-1,axis)
return arr
I implement a pure numpy.lib.stride_tricks.as_strided solution as follows
from numpy.lib.stride_tricks import as_strided
def custom_roll(arr, r_tup):
m = np.asarray(r_tup)
arr_roll = arr[:, [*range(arr.shape[1]),*range(arr.shape[1]-1)]].copy() #need `copy`
strd_0, strd_1 = arr_roll.strides
n = arr.shape[1]
result = as_strided(arr_roll, (*arr.shape, n), (strd_0 ,strd_1, strd_1))
return result[np.arange(arr.shape[0]), (n-m)%n]
A = np.array([[4, 0, 0],
[1, 2, 3],
[0, 0, 5]])
r = np.array([2, 0, -1])
out = custom_roll(A, r)
Out[789]:
array([[0, 0, 4],
[1, 2, 3],
[0, 5, 0]])
By using a fast fourrier transform we can apply a transformation in the frequency domain and then use the inverse fast fourrier transform to obtain the row shift.
So this is a pure numpy solution that take only one line:
import numpy as np
from numpy.fft import fft, ifft
# The row shift function using the fast fourrier transform
# rshift(A,r) where A is a 2D array, r the row shift vector
def rshift(A,r):
return np.real(ifft(fft(A,axis=1)*np.exp(2*1j*np.pi/A.shape[1]*r[:,None]*np.r_[0:A.shape[1]][None,:]),axis=1).round())
This will apply a left shift, but we can simply negate the exponential exponant to turn the function into a right shift function:
ifft(fft(...)*np.exp(-2*1j...)
It can be used like that:
# Example:
A = np.array([[1,2,3,4],
[1,2,3,4],
[1,2,3,4]])
r = np.array([1,-1,3])
print(rshift(A,r))
Building on divakar's excellent answer, you can apply this logic to 3D array easily (which was the problematic that brought me here in the first place). Here's an example - basically flatten your data, roll it & reshape it after::
def applyroll_30(cube, threshold=25, offset=500):
flattened_cube = cube.copy().reshape(cube.shape[0]*cube.shape[1], cube.shape[2])
roll_matrix = calc_roll_matrix_flattened(flattened_cube, threshold, offset)
rolled_cube = strided_indexing_roll(flattened_cube, roll_matrix, cube_shape=cube.shape)
rolled_cube = triggered_cube.reshape(cube.shape[0], cube.shape[1], cube.shape[2])
return rolled_cube
def calc_roll_matrix_flattened(cube_flattened, threshold, offset):
""" Calculates the number of position along time axis we need to shift
elements in order to trig the data.
We return a 1D numpy array of shape (X*Y, time) elements
"""
# armax(...) finds the position in the cube (3d) where we are above threshold
roll_matrix = np.argmax(cube_flattened > threshold, axis=1) + offset
# ensure we don't have index out of bound
roll_matrix[roll_matrix>cube_flattened.shape[1]] = cube_flattened.shape[1]
return roll_matrix
def strided_indexing_roll(cube_flattened, roll_matrix_flattened, cube_shape):
# Concatenate with sliced to cover all rolls
# otherwise we shift in the wrong direction for my application
roll_matrix_flattened = -1 * roll_matrix_flattened
a_ext = np.concatenate((cube_flattened, cube_flattened[:, :-1]), axis=1)
# Get sliding windows; use advanced-indexing to select appropriate ones
n = cube_flattened.shape[1]
result = viewW(a_ext,(1,n))[np.arange(len(roll_matrix_flattened)), (n - roll_matrix_flattened) % n, 0]
result = result.reshape(cube_shape)
return result
Divakar's answer doesn't do justice to how much more efficient this is on large cube of data. I've timed it on a 400x400x2000 data formatted as int8. An equivalent for-loop does ~5.5seconds, Seberg's answer ~3.0seconds and strided_indexing.... ~0.5second.

Reducing an axis with numpy

I have an NxMx3 numpy array with dtype=object. I also have a function f(a,b,c) which takes the three elements in the last axis of this array and returns a np.int32. My question is how do I apply f to my NxMx3 array to yield an NxM array with dtype=np.int32?
My current solution is to use
newarr = np.fromfunction(lambda i,j: f(arr[i,j,0], arr[i,j,1], arr[i,j,2]),
arr.shape[:2], dtype=np.int)
although this is a little more verbose than I had hoped.
You could use vectorize:
np.vectorize(f, otypes=[np.int32])(arr[:, :, 0], arr[:, :, 1], arr[:, :, 2])
This can be simplified by axis rolling and iteration:
np.vectorize(f, otypes=[np.int32])(*np.rollaxis(arr, 2, 0))
Alternatively you can split the array explicitly with dsplit:
np.vectorize(f, otypes=[np.int32])(*np.dsplit(arr, 3))[..., 0]
or
np.vectorize(f, otypes=[np.int32])(*np.dsplit(arr, 3)).reshape(arr.shape[:-1])
or
np.vectorize(f, otypes=[np.int32])(*np.dsplit(arr, 3)).squeeze()
However, apply_along_axis is probably simpler:
np.apply_along_axis(lambda x: f(*x), 2, arr)
