NumPy Array A NumPy array is an N-dimensional homogeneous collection of “items” of the same kind. The kind can be any arbitrary structure of bytes and is specified using the data-type.

Optimization: Data FittingNONLINEAR LEAST SQUARES CURVE FITTING>>> from scipy.optimize import curve_fit>>> from scipy.stats import norm# Define the function to fit.>>> def function(x, a , b, f, phi):... result = a * exp(-b * sin(f * x + phi))... return result# Create a noisy data set.>>> actual_params = [3, 2, 1, pi/4]>>> x = linspace(0,2*pi,25)>>> exact = function(x, *actual_params)>>> noisy = exact + 0.3*norm.rvs(size=len(x))# Use curve_fit to estimate the function parameters from the noisy data.>>> initial_guess = [1,1,1,1]>>> estimated_params, err_est = curve_fit(function, x, noisy, p0=initial_guess)>>> estimated_paramsarray([3.1705, 1.9501, 1.0206, 0.7034])# err_est is an estimate of the covariance matrix of the estimates# (i.e. how good of a fit is it)

2D RBF InterpolationEXAMPLE>>> from scipy.interpolate import ... Rbf>>> from numpy import hypot, mgrid>>> from scipy.special import j0>>> x, y = mgrid[-5:6,-5:6]>>> z = j0(hypot(x,y))>>> newfunc = Rbf(x, y, z)>>> xx, yy = mgrid[-5:5:100j, -5:5:100j]# xx and yy are both 2-d# result is evaluated# element-by-element>>> zz = newfunc(xx, yy)>>> from enthought.mayavi import mlab>>> mlab.surf(x, y, z*5)>>> mlab.figure()>>> mlab.surf(xx, yy, zz*5)>>> mlab.points3d(x,y,z*5, scale_factor=0.5)

Brownian MotionBrownian motion (Wiener process): 2X (t + dt) = X (t) + N 0, σ dt, t, t + dtwhere N (a, b, t1 , t2 ) is normal with mean aand variance b, and independent ondisjoint time intervals.>>> from scipy.stats import norm>>> x0 = 100.0>>> dt = 0.5>>> sigma = 1.5>>> n = 100>>> steps = norm.rvs(size=n, scale=sigma*sqrt(dt))>>> steps[0] = x0 # Make i.c. work>>> x = steps.cumsum()>>> t = linspace(0, (n-1)*dt, n)>>> plot(t, x)

Image Processing # Edge detection using Sobel filter >>> from scipy.ndimage.filters import sobel >>> imshow(lena) >>> edges = sobel(lena) >>> imshow(edges)LENA IMAGE FILTERED IMAGE

NumPy : so what? (speed and expressiveness) • Data: the array object – slicing – shapes and strides – data-type generality • Fast Math: – vectorization – broadcasting – aggregations

Array SlicingSLICING WORKS MUCH LIKESTANDARD PYTHON SLICING>>> a[0,3:5]array([3, 4])>>> a[4:,4:]array([[44, 45], [54, 55]])>>> a[:,2]array([2,12,22,32,42,52])STRIDES ARE ALSO POSSIBLE>>> a[2::2,::2]array([[20, 22, 24], [40, 42, 44]]) 14

Fancy Indexing in 2-D>>> a[(0,1,2,3,4),(1,2,3,4,5)]array([ 1, 12, 23, 34, 45])>>> a[3:,[0, 2, 5]]array([[30, 32, 35], [40, 42, 45], [50, 52, 55]])>>> mask = array([1,0,1,0,0,1], dtype=bool)>>> a[mask,2]array([2,22,52]) Unlike slicing, fancy indexing creates copies instead of a view into original array.

Fancy Indexing with IndicesINDEXING BY POSITION# create an Nx3 colormap# grayscale map -- R G B>>> cmap = array([[1.0,1.0,1.0], [0.9,0.9,0.9], ... [0.0,0.0,0.0]])>>> cmap.shape(10,3)>>> img = array([[0,10], [5,1 ]])>>> img.shape(2,2)# use the image as an index into# the colormap>>> rgb_img = cmap[img]>>> rgb_img.shape(2,2,3) 16

Array Data Structure

NumPy dtypes Basic Type Available NumPy types Comments Boolean bool Elements are 1 byte in size. int8, int16, int32, int64, int defaults to the size of int in C for the Integer int128, int platform. Unsigned uint8, uint16, uint32, uint64, uint defaults to the size of unsigned int in Integer uint128, uint C for the platform. float is always a double precision floating float32, float64, float, point value (64 bits). longfloat represents Float longfloat, large precision floats. Its size is platform dependent. The real and complex elements of a complex64, complex128, complex64 are each represented by a single Complex complex, longcomplex precision (32 bit) value for a total size of 64 bits. Strings str, unicode Object Object Represent items in array as Python objects. Records Void Used for arbitrary data structures.

“Structured” ArraysElements of an array can be EXAMPLEany fixed-size data structure! >>> from numpy import dtype, empty # structured data format name char[10] >>> fmt = dtype([(name, S10), age int (age, int), weight double (weight, float) ]) >>> a = empty((3,4), dtype=fmt) Brad Jane John Fred >>> a.itemsize 22 33 25 47 54 >>> a[name] = [[Brad, … ,Jill]] 135.0 105.0 225.0 140.0 >>> a[age] = [[33, … , 54]] Henry George Brian Amy >>> a[weight] = [[135, … , 145]] >>> print a 29 61 32 27 [[(Brad, 33, 135.0) 154.0 202.0 137.0 187.0 … Ron Susan Jennifer Jill (Jill, 54, 145.0)]] 19 33 18 54 188.0 135.0 88.0 145.0

Nested Datatype

Nested Datatypedt = dtype([(time, uint64), (size, uint32), (position, [(az, float32), (el, float32), (region_type, uint8), (region_ID, uint16)]), (gain, np.uint8), (samples, np.int16, 2048)])data = np.fromfile(f, dtype=dt)

Memory Mapped Arrays • Methods for Creating: –memmap: subclass of ndarray that manages the memory mapping details. –frombuffer: Create an array from a memory mapped buffer object. – ndarray constructor: Use the buffer keyword to pass in a memory mapped buffer. • Limitations: –Files must be < 2GB on Python 2.4 and before. –Files must be < 2GB on 32-bit machines. –Python 2.5 on 64 bit machines is theoretically "limited" to 17.2 billion GB (17 Exabytes).

Zen of NumPy (version 0.1) • strided is better than scattered • contiguous is better than strided • descriptive is better than imperative (e.g. data-types) • array-oriented is better than object-oriented • broadcasting is a great idea -- use where possible • vectorized is better than an explicit loop • unless it’s complicated --- then use Cython or numexpr • think in higher dimensions

Recent Developments in NumPy / SciPy • Community growth (github) • Addition of .NET (IronPython) support – NumPy as a core C-library – NumPy and SciPy using Cython to build all extension modules – better tests and bugs closed • Re-factoring of the ufunc-implementation as iterators (Mark Wiebe) – expose the pipeline that was only previously used in “worst-case” scenario. – first stages of calculation structure refactoring

NumPy next steps (1.6, 2.0 and beyond) • Calculation Frame-work – basic generic function mechanism needs to be extended to allow other objects to participate more seamlessly – test on distributed arrays, generated arrays, masked arrays, etc. – add better support for run-time code-generation – more optimized algorithms (e.g. add special-case versions of low-level loops) • Addition of an “indirect array” – could subsume sparse arrays, distributed arrays, etc. – add compressed arrays, lazy-evaluation arrays, generator arrays • Data-base integration – data-base integration: please give me a structured array from a fetchall command – SQL front end for NumPy table

NumPy next steps (1.6, 2.0, ...) • Catching up – Dropping support for <2.5 (in NumPy 2.0) – Addition of “with-statement” contexts (error handling, print-options, lazy- evaluation, etc.) – Finish datetime NEP – Finish reduce-by NEP – Add “geometry” information to NumPy (dimension and index labels). • Core library growth – Eliminate extra indirection where possible – Optimizations for small-arrays – Addition of additional front-ends: Jython, Ruby, Javascript

SciPy next steps • Roadmap generation (move to github) • Finish Cython migration • Module cleanup continues • Lots of work happening... – errorbars in polyfit – spectral algorithms in signal – improvements to ode and sparse – addition of pre-conditioners to sparse – ..., ...
