Universal Functions
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
Ufuncs are, generally speaking, mathematical functions or operations that are
|
|
applied element-by-element to the contents of an array. That is, the result
|
|
in each output array element only depends on the value in the corresponding
|
|
input array (or arrays) and on no other array elements. NumPy comes with a
|
|
large suite of ufuncs, and scipy extends that suite substantially. The simplest
|
|
example is the addition operator: ::
|
|
|
|
>>> np.array([0,2,3,4]) + np.array([1,1,-1,2])
|
|
array([1, 3, 2, 6])
|
|
|
|
The ufunc module lists all the available ufuncs in numpy. Documentation on
|
|
the specific ufuncs may be found in those modules. This documentation is
|
|
intended to address the more general aspects of ufuncs common to most of
|
|
them. All of the ufuncs that make use of Python operators (e.g., +, -, etc.)
|
|
have equivalent functions defined (e.g. add() for +)
|
|
|
|
Type coercion
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
What happens when a binary operator (e.g., +,-,\\*,/, etc) deals with arrays of
|
|
two different types? What is the type of the result? Typically, the result is
|
|
the higher of the two types. For example: ::
|
|
|
|
float32 + float64 -> float64
|
|
int8 + int32 -> int32
|
|
int16 + float32 -> float32
|
|
float32 + complex64 -> complex64
|
|
|
|
There are some less obvious cases generally involving mixes of types
|
|
(e.g. uints, ints and floats) where equal bit sizes for each are not
|
|
capable of saving all the information in a different type of equivalent
|
|
bit size. Some examples are int32 vs float32 or uint32 vs int32.
|
|
Generally, the result is the higher type of larger size than both
|
|
(if available). So: ::
|
|
|
|
int32 + float32 -> float64
|
|
uint32 + int32 -> int64
|
|
|
|
Finally, the type coercion behavior when expressions involve Python
|
|
scalars is different than that seen for arrays. Since Python has a
|
|
limited number of types, combining a Python int with a dtype=np.int8
|
|
array does not coerce to the higher type but instead, the type of the
|
|
array prevails. So the rules for Python scalars combined with arrays is
|
|
that the result will be that of the array equivalent the Python scalar
|
|
if the Python scalar is of a higher 'kind' than the array (e.g., float
|
|
vs. int), otherwise the resultant type will be that of the array.
|
|
For example: ::
|
|
|
|
Python int + int8 -> int8
|
|
Python float + int8 -> float64
|
|
|
|
ufunc methods
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
Binary ufuncs support 4 methods.
|
|
|
|
**.reduce(arr)** applies the binary operator to elements of the array in
|
|
sequence. For example: ::
|
|
|
|
>>> np.add.reduce(np.arange(10)) # adds all elements of array
|
|
45
|
|
|
|
For multidimensional arrays, the first dimension is reduced by default: ::
|
|
|
|
>>> np.add.reduce(np.arange(10).reshape(2,5))
|
|
array([ 5, 7, 9, 11, 13])
|
|
|
|
The axis keyword can be used to specify different axes to reduce: ::
|
|
|
|
>>> np.add.reduce(np.arange(10).reshape(2,5),axis=1)
|
|
array([10, 35])
|
|
|
|
**.accumulate(arr)** applies the binary operator and generates an an
|
|
equivalently shaped array that includes the accumulated amount for each
|
|
element of the array. A couple examples: ::
|
|
|
|
>>> np.add.accumulate(np.arange(10))
|
|
array([ 0, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45])
|
|
>>> np.multiply.accumulate(np.arange(1,9))
|
|
array([ 1, 2, 6, 24, 120, 720, 5040, 40320])
|
|
|
|
The behavior for multidimensional arrays is the same as for .reduce(),
|
|
as is the use of the axis keyword).
|
|
|
|
**.reduceat(arr,indices)** allows one to apply reduce to selected parts
|
|
of an array. It is a difficult method to understand. See the documentation
|
|
at:
|
|
|
|
**.outer(arr1,arr2)** generates an outer operation on the two arrays arr1 and
|
|
arr2. It will work on multidimensional arrays (the shape of the result is
|
|
the concatenation of the two input shapes.: ::
|
|
|
|
>>> np.multiply.outer(np.arange(3),np.arange(4))
|
|
array([[0, 0, 0, 0],
|
|
[0, 1, 2, 3],
|
|
[0, 2, 4, 6]])
|
|
|
|
Output arguments
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
All ufuncs accept an optional output array. The array must be of the expected
|
|
output shape. Beware that if the type of the output array is of a different
|
|
(and lower) type than the output result, the results may be silently truncated
|
|
or otherwise corrupted in the downcast to the lower type. This usage is useful
|
|
when one wants to avoid creating large temporary arrays and instead allows one
|
|
to reuse the same array memory repeatedly (at the expense of not being able to
|
|
use more convenient operator notation in expressions). Note that when the
|
|
output argument is used, the ufunc still returns a reference to the result.
|
|
|
|
>>> x = np.arange(2)
|
|
>>> np.add(np.arange(2),np.arange(2.),x)
|
|
array([0, 2])
|
|
>>> x
|
|
array([0, 2])
|
|
|
|
and & or as ufuncs
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
Invariably people try to use the python 'and' and 'or' as logical operators
|
|
(and quite understandably). But these operators do not behave as normal
|
|
operators since Python treats these quite differently. They cannot be
|
|
overloaded with array equivalents. Thus using 'and' or 'or' with an array
|
|
results in an error. There are two alternatives:
|
|
|
|
1) use the ufunc functions logical_and() and logical_or().
|
|
2) use the bitwise operators & and \\|. The drawback of these is that if
|
|
the arguments to these operators are not boolean arrays, the result is
|
|
likely incorrect. On the other hand, most usages of logical_and and
|
|
logical_or are with boolean arrays. As long as one is careful, this is
|
|
a convenient way to apply these operators.
