Fixing definition of reduceat for Numpy 2.0?
by Martin Ling Nov. 24, 2024

Nov. 24, 2024

Hi folks, I don't follow numpy development in much detail these days but I see that there is a 2.0 release planned soon. Would this be an opportunity to change the behaviour of 'reduceat'? This issue has been open in some form since 2006! https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/834 The current behaviour was originally inherited from Numeric, and makes reduceat often unusable in practice, even where it should be the perfect, concise, efficient solution. But it has been impossible to change it without breaking compatibіlity with existing code. As a result, horrible hacks are needed instead, e.g. my answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57694003 Is this something that could finally be fixed in 2.0? Martin

New matvec and vecmat functions
by Marten van Kerkwijk Nov. 22, 2024

Nov. 22, 2024

Hi All, I have a PR [1] that adds `np.matvec` and `np.vecmat` gufuncs for matrix-vector and vector-matrix calculations, to add to plain matrix-matrix multiplication with `np.matmul` and the inner vector product with `np.vecdot`. They call BLAS where possible for speed. I'd like to hear whether these are good additions. I also note that for complex numbers, `vecmat` is defined as `x†A`, i.e., the complex conjugate of the vector is taken. This seems to be the standard and is what we used for `vecdot` too (`x†x`). However, it is *not* what `matmul` does for vector-matrix or indeed vector-vector products (remember that those are possible only if the vector is one-dimensional, i.e., not with a stack of vectors). I think this is a bug in matmul, which I'm happy to fix. But I'm posting here in part to get feedback on that. Thanks! Marten [1] https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/25675 p.s. Separately, with these functions available, in principle these could be used in `__matmul__` (and thus for `@`) and the specializations in `np.matmul` removed. But that can be a separate PR (if it is wanted at all).

np.where and ZeroDivisionError: float division by zero
by 840362492＠qq.com April 26, 2024

April 26, 2024

0 In my code, I use the following calculation for a column in the dataframe: np.where(df_score['number'] ! = 0, 100 - ((100 * df_score[rank_column] -50)/df_score['number']), None),I have used df_score['number']! = 0, but the code is still wrong, ZeroDivisionError: float division by zero, even if I put df_score['number']! = 0 changed to df_score['number'] > 0, why? pandas version:1.1.5 numpy version:1.24.4 Here are my numbers： 12.00000 12.00000 12.00000 12.00000 12.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 12.00000 12.00000 12.00000 I want to know why it went wrong and what should be done to fix it? Thank you for your help

JSON format for multi-dimensional data
by philippe＠loco-labs.io April 17, 2024

April 17, 2024

Hi community, This memo is a proposal to implement a compact and reversible (lossless round-trip) JSON interface for multi-dimensional data and in particular for Numpy (see issue #12481). The links to the documents are at the end of the memo. The JSON-NTV (Named and Typed value) format is a JSON format which integrates a notion of type. This format has also been implemented for tabular data (see NTV-pandas package available in the pandas ecosystem and the PDEP12 specification). . The use of this format has the following advantages: - Taking into account data types not known to Numpy, - Reversible format (lossless round-trip) - Interoperability with other tools for tabular or multi-dimensional data (e.g. pandas, Xarray) - Ease of sharing Json format - Binary coding possible (e.g. CBOR format) - Format integrating data of different nature The associated Jupyter Notebook presents some key points of this proposal (first draft): Summary: - introduction - benefits - multi-dimensionnal data - Multi-dimensional types - Format JSON - Using the NTV format - Equivalence of tabular format and multidimensional format - Astropy specific points - Units and quantities - Coordinates - Tables - Other structures This subject seems important to me (in particular for interoperability issues) and I would like to have your feedback before working on the implementation. Especially, - do you think this “semantic” format is interesting to use? - do you have any particular expectations or subjects that I need to study beforehand? - do you have any examples or test cases to offer me? And of course, any type of remark and comment is welcome.
