nphelper 0.0.5

Install

Simply install via pip:

pip install nphelper

nphelper only depends on numpy.

Usage / Features

Create block arrays (in matlabs’s [A A; B B] spirit):

>>> from nphelper import block
>>> A = np.array([[1, 2, 3]])
>>> B = np.array([[2, 3, 4]])
>>> C = np.ones((2, 6))
>>> block([[A, B], [C]])
array([[1, 2, 3, 2, 3, 4],
      [[1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1],
      [[1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]])

Compute the cartesian product (similar to itertools.product):

>>> from nphelper import cartesian_product
>>> cartesian_product([[1, 2], [3, 4]])
array([[1, 3],
       [1, 4],
       [2, 3],
       [2, 4]])

Easily multiply many arrays without the cubersome dot syntax. It’s also much faster than dot because it selects the fastest evaluation order. (This is part of numpy 1.10.0.)

>>> from nphelper import multi_dot
>>> A = np.random.random((10000, 100))
>>> B = np.random.random((100, 1000))
>>> C = np.random.random((1000, 5))
>>> D = np.random.random((5, 333))
>>> # Sick of this?
>>> np.dot(np.dot(np.dot(A, B), C), D)  # doctest: +SKIP
>>> # Or this?
>>> A.dot(B).dot(C).dot(D)  # doctest: +SKIP
>>> # Use multi_dot
>>> multi_dot([A, B, C, D])  # doctest: +SKIP
