How to display a RGB image (MFISH)?
by jp April 3, 2023

April 3, 2023

Hi, I have written a script to try to combine five images into a three channels RGB images<http://dip4fish.blogspot.com/2011/05/trying-to-combine-mfish-images-into-rg…> . The resulting RGB image looks like a grey scale image instead of a color one. I have three np.array Rnorm, Gnorm, Bnorm which are copied into a rgb array: *rgb = np.zeros((shape[0],shape[1],3),dtype=float) mxr=np.max(R) mxg=np.max(G) mxb=np.max(B) Rnorm=np.uint8((255*(R/mxr)))Gnorm=np.uint8((255*(R/mxg)))Bnorm=np.uint8((255*(R/mxb)))#copy each RGB component in an RGB array rgb[:,:,0]=Rnorm rgb[:,:,1]=Gnorm rgb[:,:,2]=Bnorm* *pylab.subplot(224, aspect='equal',frameon=False, xticks=[], yticks=[]) pylab.imshow(rgb) pylab.show()* Any advice? Thank you Jean-Patrick

Help required regding Eigenvectors
by Sudheer Phani March 14, 2022

March 14, 2022

Hello All, I have been encountering some strange problems with the calculation of eigen vectors using python. The problem is with the sign of the eigen vectors calculated. On Very few occasions the eigen vectors calculated using python have an opposite sign than the actual eigenvectors, though the magnitude is correct. Can any one of you plz help me in this regard and suggest me some solution if you have encoutered similar problems . Any help in this regd is appreciated Thanks in Advace regds Sudheer

inverse filter design, remez?
by R Schumacher March 31, 2016

March 31, 2016

We have sets of ADC data collected with different front-end filters at acquisition; given an empirically determined roll off in dB/octave or dB/Hz, I'd like to perform equalization (in this case the low frequencies) and I know from sweeps that roll off begins under ~200Hz and -3dB is ~15Hz. One general example is Bank's algorithm: <http://nullege.com/codes/show/src@p@o@porc-HEAD@porc.py>http://nullege.com/codes/show/src@p@o@porc-HEAD@porc.py where people correct sound for their room acoustics. There is also the Nelson-Kirkeby inverse filter methodology. Our specific case is flattening the response due to a single-pole RC high-pass filter so I think remez() might be just fine; can anyone here supply links or examples in scipy to this application of remez()? I'm guessing scipy.signal.remez( 2, range(.625, 512, .625), desired= <inverse of measured gain, range(.625, 256, .625)>, weight=<unsure of this...>, Hz=1024, type=<unsure, what to use for high-pass?>, maxiter=25, grid_density=16 ) - Ray

Sampling from an arbitrary distribution.
by Andrew Nelson March 30, 2016

March 30, 2016

Hi all, I wish to sample from an arbitrary probability density distribution. At the moment I don't have a functional form for the density distribution (so I'm not sure if I can subclass scipy.stats.rv_continuous) What I do have is an array containing (finely) histogrammed samples of the distribution. I found some pre-existing code ( http://www.nehalemlabs.net/prototype/blog/2013/12/16/how-to-do-inverse-tran…) which I successfully modified to deal with pre-histogrammed data. Q1: Can I still subclass scipy.stats.rv_continuous to sample from my arbitrary distribution? e.g. use the histogram to construct the object and refer to this histogram when overriding _pdf. Q2: If not, then is it worth adding functionality for this kind of sampling? Where would it belong scipy.stats or numpy.random? A.

Numpy 1.11.0 released
by Charles R Harris March 27, 2016

March 27, 2016

Hi All, I'm pleased to announce the release of Numpy 1.11.0. This release is the result of six months of work comprising 371 merged pull requests submitted by 112 authors containing many bug fixes and improvements. Highlights are: - The datetime64 type is now timezone naive. - A dtype parameter has been added to ``randint``. - Improved detection of two arrays possibly sharing memory. - Automatic bin size estimation for ``np.histogram``. - Speed optimization of A @ A.T and dot(A, A.T). - New function ``np.moveaxis`` for reordering array axes. Source files and documentation can be found on Sourceforge <https://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/NumPy/1.11.0/>, while source files and OS X wheels for Python 2.7, 3.3, 3.4, and 3.5 can be installed from Pypi. Note that this is the last release to support Python 2.6, 3.2, and 3.3. Contributors are listed below in alphabetical order with the names of new contributors starred.

Scientific citation numpy.random.multinomial
by Johannes Radinger March 21, 2016

March 21, 2016

Hi all, I am using the function numpy.random.multinomial in my code and want to explicitly cite this function/method in a scientific (peer reviewed) article. What is the appropriate way to cite numpy.random.multinomial? I am aware that SciPy can be cited as: Jones E, Oliphant E, Peterson P, et al. SciPy: Open Source Scientific Tools for Python, 2001-, http://www.scipy.org/ [Online; accessed 2016-03-21]. However, this is not specifically for the "random" library of numpy. Is there any other reference one can use? Best regards, Johannes

minimize reporting successful but not searching (with default method)
by David Mikolas March 21, 2016

March 21, 2016

I have a situation where scipy.optimize.minimize returns the initial starting value as the answer without really iterating, and returns "successful" status, using default method. It works fine if I specify Nelder-Mead, but my question is "why does minimize return successful when it isn's, and what can I do (if anything) to flag this behavior? The question is also here http://stackoverflow.com/q/36110998 and if someone can also leave an answer there as well, that would be great! but not necessary. One particular - I'm using calls to Skyfield, which may or may not have something to do with it. (http://rhodesmill.org/skyfield/) FULL OUTPUT using DEFAULT METHOD: status: 0 success: True njev: 1 nfev: 3 hess_inv: array([[1]]) fun: 1694.98753895812 x: array([ 10000.]) message: 'Optimization terminated successfully.' jac: array([ 0.]) nit: 0 FULL OUTPUT using Nelder-Mead METHOD: status: 0 nfev: 63 success: True fun: 3.2179306044608054 x: array([ 13053.81011963]) message: 'Optimization terminated successfully.' nit: 28
