I have a system that transmits signals for an alphabet of M symbols over and additive Gaussian noise channel. The receiver has a 1-d array of complex received values. I'd like to find the means of the received values according to the symbol that was transmitted.
So transmit symbol indexes might be:
x = [0, 1, 2, 1, 3, ...]
and receive output might be:
y = [(1+1j), (1-1j), ...]
Suppose the alphabet was M=4. Then I'd like to get an array of means
m[0...3] that correspond to the values of y for each of the corresponding values of x.
I can't think of a better way than manually using loops. Any tricks here?
All you need is a single loop over the alphabet, which is usually not problematic. means = np.empty([M]) for i in range(M): means[i] = y[x == i].mean() -- Robert Kern
