Welcome to the OpenSceneGraph (OSG). For up-to-date information on the project, in-depth details on how to compile and run libraries and examples, see the documentation on the OpenSceneGraph website: http://www.openscenegraph.org/index.php/documentation For support subscribe to our public mailing list or forum, details at: http://www.openscenegraph.org/index.php/support For the impatient, we've included quick build instructions below, these are are broken down is three parts: 1) General notes on building the OpenSceneGraph 2) OSX release notes 3) iOS release notes If details below are not sufficient then head over to the openscenegraph.org to the Documentation/GettingStarted and Documentation/PlatformSpecifics sections for more indepth instructions. Robert Osfield. Project Lead. 12th August 2015. -- Section 1. How to build the OpenSceneGraph ========================================== The OpenSceneGraph uses the CMake build system to generate a platform-specific build environment. CMake reads the CMakeLists.txt files that you'll find throughout the OpenSceneGraph directories, checks for installed dependenciesand then generates the appropriate build system. If you don't already have CMake installed on your system you can grab it from http://www.cmake.org, use version 2.4.6 or later. Details on the OpenSceneGraph's CMake build can be found at: http://www.openscenegraph.org/projects/osg/wiki/Build/CMake Under unices (i.e. Linux, IRIX, Solaris, Free-BSD, HP-Ux, AIX, OSX) use the cmake or ccmake command-line utils. Note that cmake . defaults to building Release to ensure that you get the best performance from your final libraries/applications. cd OpenSceneGraph cmake . make sudo make install Alternatively, you can create an out-of-source build directory and run cmake or ccmake from there. The advantage to this approach is that the temporary files created by CMake won't clutter the OpenSceneGraph source directory, and also makes it possible to have multiple independent build targets by creating multiple build directories. In a directory alongside the OpenSceneGraph use: mkdir build cd build cmake ../OpenSceneGraph make sudo make install Under Windows use the GUI tool CMakeSetup to build your VisualStudio files. The following page on our wiki dedicated to the CMake build system should help guide you through the process: http://www.openscenegraph.org/index.php/documentation/platform-specifics/windows Under OSX you can either use the CMake build system above, or use the Xcode projects that you will find in the OpenSceneGraph/Xcode directory. See release notes on OSX CMake build below. For further details on compilation, installation and platform-specific information read "Getting Started" guide: http://www.openscenegraph.org/index.php/documentation/10-getting-started Section 2. Release notes on OSX build, by Eric Sokolowsky, August 5, 2008 ========================================================================= There are several ways to compile OpenSceneGraph under OSX. The recommended way is to use CMake 2.6 to generate Xcode projects, then use Xcode to build the library. The default project will be able to build Debug or Release libraries, examples, and sample applications. Here are some key settings to consider when using CMake: BUILD_OSG_EXAMPLES - By default this is turned off. Turn this setting on to compile many great example programs. CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES - Xcode can create applications, executables, libraries, and frameworks that can be run on more than one architecture. Use this setting to indicate the architectures on which to build OSG. Possibilities include ppc, ppc64, i386, and x86_64. Building OSG using either of the 64-bit options (ppc64 and x86_64) has its own caveats below. OSG_BUILD_APPLICATION_BUNDLES - Normally only executable binaries are created for the examples and sample applications. Turn this option on if you want to create real OSX .app bundles. There are caveats to creating .app bundles, see below. OSG_WINDOWING_SYSTEM - You have the choice to use Carbon or X11 when building applications on OSX. Under Leopard and later, X11 applications, when started, will automatically launch X11 when needed. However, full-screen X11 applications will still show the menu bar at the top of the screen. Since many parts of the Carbon user interface are not 64-bit, X11 is the only supported option for OSX applications compiled for ppc64 or x86_64. There is an Xcode directory in the base of the OSG software distribution, but its future is limited, and will be discontinued once the CMake project generator completely implements its functionality. APPLICATION BUNDLES (.app bundles) The example programs when built as application bundles only contain the executable file. They do not contain the dependent libraries as would a normal bundle, so they are not generally portable to other machines. They also do not know where to find plugins. An environmental variable OSG_LIBRARY_PATH may be set to point to the location where the plugin .so files are located. OSG_FILE_PATH may be set to point to the location where data files are located. Setting OSG_FILE_PATH to the OpenSceneGraph-Data directory is very useful when testing OSG by running the example programs. Many of the example programs use command-line arguments. When double-clicking on an application (or using the equivalent "open" command on the command line) only those examples and applications that do not require command-line arguments will successfully run. The executable file within the .app bundle can be run from the command-line if command-line arguments are needed. 64-BIT APPLICATION SUPPORT OpenSceneGraph will not compile successfully when OSG_WINDOWING_SYSTEM is Carbon and either x86_64 or ppc64 is selected under CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES, as Carbon is a 32bit only API. A version of the osgviewer library written in Cocoa is needed. However, OSG may be compiled under 64-bits if the X11 windowing system is selected. However, Two parts of the OSG default distribution will not work with 64-bit X11: the osgviewerWX example program and the osgdb_qt (Quicktime) plugin. These must be removed from the Xcode project after Cmake generates it in order to compile with 64-bit architectures. The lack of the latter means that images such as jpeg, tiff, png, and gif will not work, nor will animations dependent on Quicktime. A new ImageIO-based plugin is being developed to handle the still images, and a QTKit plugin will need to be developed to handle animations. Section 3. Release notes on iOS build, by Thomas Hoghart ========================================================= * Run CMake with either OSG_BUILD_PLATFORM_IPHONE or OSG_BUILD_PLATFORM_IPHONE_SIMULATOR set: $ mkdir build-iOS ; cd build-iOS $ ccmake -DOSG_BUILD_PLATFORM_IPHONE_SIMULATOR=YES -G Xcode .. * Check that CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURE is i386 for the simulator or armv6;armv7 for the device * Disable DYNAMIC_OPENSCENEGRAPH, DYNAMIC_OPENTHREADS This will give us the static build we need for iPhone. * Disable OSG_GL1_AVAILABLE, OSG_GL2_AVAILABLE, OSG_GL3_AVAILABLE, OSG_GL_DISPLAYLISTS_AVAILABLE, OSG_GL_VERTEX_FUNCS_AVAILABLE * Enable OSG_GLES1_AVAILABLE *OR* OSG_GLES2_AVAILABLE *OR* OSG_GLES3_AVAILABLE (GLES3 will enable GLES2 features) * Ensure OSG_WINDOWING_SYSTEM is set to IOS * Change FREETYPE include and library paths to an iPhone version (OpenFrameworks has one bundled with its distribution) * Ensure that CMake_OSX_SYSROOT points to your iOS SDK. * Generate the Xcode project * Open the Xcode project $ open OpenSceneGraph.xcodeproj * Under Sources -> osgDB, select FileUtils.cpp and open the 'Get Info' panel, change File Type to source.cpp.objcpp Here's an example for the command-line: $ cmake -G Xcode \ -D OSG_BUILD_PLATFORM_IPHONE:BOOL=ON \ -D CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS:STRING="-ftree-vectorize -fvisibility-inlines-hidden -mno-thumb -arch armv6 -pipe -no-cpp-precomp -miphoneos-version-min=3.1 -mno-thumb" \ -D BUILD_OSG_APPLICATIONS:BOOL=OFF \ -D OSG_BUILD_FRAMEWORKS:BOOL=OFF \ -D OSG_WINDOWING_SYSTEM:STRING=IOS \ -D OSG_BUILD_PLATFORM_IPHONE:BOOL=ON \ -D CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES:STRING="armv6;armv7" \ -D CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT:STRING=/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS4.2.sdk \ -D OSG_GL1_AVAILABLE:BOOL=OFF \ -D OSG_GL2_AVAILABLE:BOOL=OFF \ -D OSG_GLES1_AVAILABLE:BOOL=ON \ -D OSG_GL_DISPLAYLISTS_AVAILABLE:BOOL=OFF \ -D OSG_GL_FIXED_FUNCTION_AVAILABLE:BOOL=ON \ -D OSG_GL_LIBRARY_STATIC:BOOL=OFF \ -D OSG_GL_MATRICES_AVAILABLE:BOOL=ON \ -D OSG_GL_VERTEX_ARRAY_FUNCS_AVAILABLE:BOOL=ON \ -D OSG_GL_VERTEX_FUNCS_AVAILABLE:BOOL=OFF \ -D DYNAMIC_OPENSCENEGRAPH:BOOL=OFF \ -D DYNAMIC_OPENTHREADS:BOOL=OFF .

Classification - Machine Learning This is ‘Classification’ tutorial which is a part of the Machine Learning course offered by Simplilearn. We will learn Classification algorithms, types of classification algorithms, support vector machines(SVM), Naive Bayes, Decision Tree and Random Forest Classifier in this tutorial. Objectives Let us look at some of the objectives covered under this section of Machine Learning tutorial. Define Classification and list its algorithms Describe Logistic Regression and Sigmoid Probability Explain K-Nearest Neighbors and KNN classification Understand Support Vector Machines, Polynomial Kernel, and Kernel Trick Analyze Kernel Support Vector Machines with an example Implement the Naïve Bayes Classifier Demonstrate Decision Tree Classifier Describe Random Forest Classifier Classification: Meaning Classification is a type of supervised learning. It specifies the class to which data elements belong to and is best used when the output has finite and discrete values. It predicts a class for an input variable as well. There are 2 types of Classification: Binomial Multi-Class Classification: Use Cases Some of the key areas where classification cases are being used: To find whether an email received is a spam or ham To identify customer segments To find if a bank loan is granted To identify if a kid will pass or fail in an examination Classification: Example Social media sentiment analysis has two potential outcomes, positive or negative, as displayed by the chart given below. https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/classification-example-machine-learning.JPG This chart shows the classification of the Iris flower dataset into its three sub-species indicated by codes 0, 1, and 2. https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/iris-flower-dataset-graph.JPG The test set dots represent the assignment of new test data points to one class or the other based on the trained classifier model. Types of Classification Algorithms Let’s have a quick look into the types of Classification Algorithm below. Linear Models Logistic Regression Support Vector Machines Nonlinear models K-nearest Neighbors (KNN) Kernel Support Vector Machines (SVM) Naïve Bayes Decision Tree Classification Random Forest Classification Logistic Regression: Meaning Let us understand the Logistic Regression model below. This refers to a regression model that is used for classification. This method is widely used for binary classification problems. It can also be extended to multi-class classification problems. Here, the dependent variable is categorical: y ϵ {0, 1} A binary dependent variable can have only two values, like 0 or 1, win or lose, pass or fail, healthy or sick, etc In this case, you model the probability distribution of output y as 1 or 0. This is called the sigmoid probability (σ). If σ(θ Tx) > 0.5, set y = 1, else set y = 0 Unlike Linear Regression (and its Normal Equation solution), there is no closed form solution for finding optimal weights of Logistic Regression. Instead, you must solve this with maximum likelihood estimation (a probability model to detect the maximum likelihood of something happening). It can be used to calculate the probability of a given outcome in a binary model, like the probability of being classified as sick or passing an exam. https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/logistic-regression-example-graph.JPG Sigmoid Probability The probability in the logistic regression is often represented by the Sigmoid function (also called the logistic function or the S-curve): https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/sigmoid-function-machine-learning.JPG In this equation, t represents data values * the number of hours studied and S(t) represents the probability of passing the exam. Assume sigmoid function: https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/sigmoid-probability-machine-learning.JPG g(z) tends toward 1 as z -> infinity , and g(z) tends toward 0 as z -> infinity K-nearest Neighbors (KNN) K-nearest Neighbors algorithm is used to assign a data point to clusters based on similarity measurement. It uses a supervised method for classification. The steps to writing a k-means algorithm are as given below: https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/knn-distribution-graph-machine-learning.JPG Choose the number of k and a distance metric. (k = 5 is common) Find k-nearest neighbors of the sample that you want to classify Assign the class label by majority vote. KNN Classification A new input point is classified in the category such that it has the most number of neighbors from that category. For example: https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/knn-classification-machine-learning.JPG Classify a patient as high risk or low risk. Mark email as spam or ham. Keen on learning about Classification Algorithms in Machine Learning? Click here! Support Vector Machine (SVM) Let us understand Support Vector Machine (SVM) in detail below. SVMs are classification algorithms used to assign data to various classes. They involve detecting hyperplanes which segregate data into classes. SVMs are very versatile and are also capable of performing linear or nonlinear classification, regression, and outlier detection. Once ideal hyperplanes are discovered, new data points can be easily classified. https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/support-vector-machines-graph-machine-learning.JPG The optimization objective is to find “maximum margin hyperplane” that is farthest from the closest points in the two classes (these points are called support vectors). In the given figure, the middle line represents the hyperplane. SVM Example Let’s look at this image below and have an idea about SVM in general. Hyperplanes with larger margins have lower generalization error. The positive and negative hyperplanes are represented by: https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/positive-negative-hyperplanes-machine-learning.JPG Classification of any new input sample xtest : If w0 + wTxtest > 1, the sample xtest is said to be in the class toward the right of the positive hyperplane. If w0 + wTxtest < -1, the sample xtest is said to be in the class toward the left of the negative hyperplane. When you subtract the two equations, you get: https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/equation-subtraction-machine-learning.JPG Length of vector w is (L2 norm length): https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/length-of-vector-machine-learning.JPG You normalize with the length of w to arrive at: https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/normalize-equation-machine-learning.JPG SVM: Hard Margin Classification Given below are some points to understand Hard Margin Classification. The left side of equation SVM-1 given above can be interpreted as the distance between the positive (+ve) and negative (-ve) hyperplanes; in other words, it is the margin that can be maximized. Hence the objective of the function is to maximize with the constraint that the samples are classified correctly, which is represented as : https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/hard-margin-classification-machine-learning.JPG This means that you are minimizing ‖w‖. This also means that all positive samples are on one side of the positive hyperplane and all negative samples are on the other side of the negative hyperplane. This can be written concisely as : https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/hard-margin-classification-formula.JPG Minimizing ‖w‖ is the same as minimizing. This figure is better as it is differentiable even at w = 0. The approach listed above is called “hard margin linear SVM classifier.” SVM: Soft Margin Classification Given below are some points to understand Soft Margin Classification. To allow for linear constraints to be relaxed for nonlinearly separable data, a slack variable is introduced. (i) measures how much ith instance is allowed to violate the margin. The slack variable is simply added to the linear constraints. https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/soft-margin-calculation-machine-learning.JPG Subject to the above constraints, the new objective to be minimized becomes: https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/soft-margin-calculation-formula.JPG You have two conflicting objectives now—minimizing slack variable to reduce margin violations and minimizing to increase the margin. The hyperparameter C allows us to define this trade-off. Large values of C correspond to larger error penalties (so smaller margins), whereas smaller values of C allow for higher misclassification errors and larger margins. https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/machine-learning-certification-video-preview.jpg SVM: Regularization The concept of C is the reverse of regularization. Higher C means lower regularization, which increases bias and lowers the variance (causing overfitting). https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/concept-of-c-graph-machine-learning.JPG IRIS Data Set The Iris dataset contains measurements of 150 IRIS flowers from three different species: Setosa Versicolor Viriginica Each row represents one sample. Flower measurements in centimeters are stored as columns. These are called features. IRIS Data Set: SVM Let’s train an SVM model using sci-kit-learn for the Iris dataset: https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/svm-model-graph-machine-learning.JPG Nonlinear SVM Classification There are two ways to solve nonlinear SVMs: by adding polynomial features by adding similarity features Polynomial features can be added to datasets; in some cases, this can create a linearly separable dataset. https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/nonlinear-classification-svm-machine-learning.JPG In the figure on the left, there is only 1 feature x1. This dataset is not linearly separable. If you add x2 = (x1)2 (figure on the right), the data becomes linearly separable. Polynomial Kernel In sci-kit-learn, one can use a Pipeline class for creating polynomial features. Classification results for the Moons dataset are shown in the figure. https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/polynomial-kernel-machine-learning.JPG Polynomial Kernel with Kernel Trick Let us look at the image below and understand Kernel Trick in detail. https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/polynomial-kernel-with-kernel-trick.JPG For large dimensional datasets, adding too many polynomial features can slow down the model. You can apply a kernel trick with the effect of polynomial features without actually adding them. The code is shown (SVC class) below trains an SVM classifier using a 3rd-degree polynomial kernel but with a kernel trick. https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/polynomial-kernel-equation-machine-learning.JPG The hyperparameter coefθ controls the influence of high-degree polynomials. Kernel SVM Let us understand in detail about Kernel SVM. Kernel SVMs are used for classification of nonlinear data. In the chart, nonlinear data is projected into a higher dimensional space via a mapping function where it becomes linearly separable. https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/kernel-svm-machine-learning.JPG In the higher dimension, a linear separating hyperplane can be derived and used for classification. A reverse projection of the higher dimension back to original feature space takes it back to nonlinear shape. As mentioned previously, SVMs can be kernelized to solve nonlinear classification problems. You can create a sample dataset for XOR gate (nonlinear problem) from NumPy. 100 samples will be assigned the class sample 1, and 100 samples will be assigned the class label -1. https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/kernel-svm-graph-machine-learning.JPG As you can see, this data is not linearly separable. https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/kernel-svm-non-separable.JPG You now use the kernel trick to classify XOR dataset created earlier. https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/kernel-svm-xor-machine-learning.JPG Naïve Bayes Classifier What is Naive Bayes Classifier? Have you ever wondered how your mail provider implements spam filtering or how online news channels perform news text classification or even how companies perform sentiment analysis of their audience on social media? All of this and more are done through a machine learning algorithm called Naive Bayes Classifier. Naive Bayes Named after Thomas Bayes from the 1700s who first coined this in the Western literature. Naive Bayes classifier works on the principle of conditional probability as given by the Bayes theorem. Advantages of Naive Bayes Classifier Listed below are six benefits of Naive Bayes Classifier. Very simple and easy to implement Needs less training data Handles both continuous and discrete data Highly scalable with the number of predictors and data points As it is fast, it can be used in real-time predictions Not sensitive to irrelevant features Bayes Theorem We will understand Bayes Theorem in detail from the points mentioned below. According to the Bayes model, the conditional probability P(Y|X) can be calculated as: P(Y|X) = P(X|Y)P(Y) / P(X) This means you have to estimate a very large number of P(X|Y) probabilities for a relatively small vector space X. For example, for a Boolean Y and 30 possible Boolean attributes in the X vector, you will have to estimate 3 billion probabilities P(X|Y). To make it practical, a Naïve Bayes classifier is used, which assumes conditional independence of P(X) to each other, with a given value of Y. This reduces the number of probability estimates to 2*30=60 in the above example. Naïve Bayes Classifier for SMS Spam Detection Consider a labeled SMS database having 5574 messages. It has messages as given below: https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/naive-bayes-spam-machine-learning.JPG Each message is marked as spam or ham in the data set. Let’s train a model with Naïve Bayes algorithm to detect spam from ham. The message lengths and their frequency (in the training dataset) are as shown below: https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/naive-bayes-spam-spam-detection.JPG Analyze the logic you use to train an algorithm to detect spam: Split each message into individual words/tokens (bag of words). Lemmatize the data (each word takes its base form, like “walking” or “walked” is replaced with “walk”). Convert data to vectors using scikit-learn module CountVectorizer. Run TFIDF to remove common words like “is,” “are,” “and.” Now apply scikit-learn module for Naïve Bayes MultinomialNB to get the Spam Detector. This spam detector can then be used to classify a random new message as spam or ham. Next, the accuracy of the spam detector is checked using the Confusion Matrix. For the SMS spam example above, the confusion matrix is shown on the right. Accuracy Rate = Correct / Total = (4827 + 592)/5574 = 97.21% Error Rate = Wrong / Total = (155 + 0)/5574 = 2.78% https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/confusion-matrix-machine-learning.JPG Although confusion Matrix is useful, some more precise metrics are provided by Precision and Recall. https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/precision-recall-matrix-machine-learning.JPG Precision refers to the accuracy of positive predictions. https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/precision-formula-machine-learning.JPG Recall refers to the ratio of positive instances that are correctly detected by the classifier (also known as True positive rate or TPR). https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/recall-formula-machine-learning.JPG Precision/Recall Trade-off To detect age-appropriate videos for kids, you need high precision (low recall) to ensure that only safe videos make the cut (even though a few safe videos may be left out). The high recall is needed (low precision is acceptable) in-store surveillance to catch shoplifters; a few false alarms are acceptable, but all shoplifters must be caught. Learn about Naive Bayes in detail. Click here! Decision Tree Classifier Some aspects of the Decision Tree Classifier mentioned below are. Decision Trees (DT) can be used both for classification and regression. The advantage of decision trees is that they require very little data preparation. They do not require feature scaling or centering at all. They are also the fundamental components of Random Forests, one of the most powerful ML algorithms. Unlike Random Forests and Neural Networks (which do black-box modeling), Decision Trees are white box models, which means that inner workings of these models are clearly understood. In the case of classification, the data is segregated based on a series of questions. Any new data point is assigned to the selected leaf node. https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/decision-tree-classifier-machine-learning.JPG Start at the tree root and split the data on the feature using the decision algorithm, resulting in the largest information gain (IG). This splitting procedure is then repeated in an iterative process at each child node until the leaves are pure. This means that the samples at each node belonging to the same class. In practice, you can set a limit on the depth of the tree to prevent overfitting. The purity is compromised here as the final leaves may still have some impurity. The figure shows the classification of the Iris dataset. https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/decision-tree-classifier-graph.JPG IRIS Decision Tree Let’s build a Decision Tree using scikit-learn for the Iris flower dataset and also visualize it using export_graphviz API. https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/iris-decision-tree-machine-learning.JPG The output of export_graphviz can be converted into png format: https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/iris-decision-tree-output.JPG Sample attribute stands for the number of training instances the node applies to. Value attribute stands for the number of training instances of each class the node applies to. Gini impurity measures the node’s impurity. A node is “pure” (gini=0) if all training instances it applies to belong to the same class. https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/impurity-formula-machine-learning.JPG For example, for Versicolor (green color node), the Gini is 1-(0/54)2 -(49/54)2 -(5/54) 2 ≈ 0.168 https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/iris-decision-tree-sample.JPG Decision Boundaries Let us learn to create decision boundaries below. For the first node (depth 0), the solid line splits the data (Iris-Setosa on left). Gini is 0 for Setosa node, so no further split is possible. The second node (depth 1) splits the data into Versicolor and Virginica. If max_depth were set as 3, a third split would happen (vertical dotted line). https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/decision-tree-boundaries.JPG For a sample with petal length 5 cm and petal width 1.5 cm, the tree traverses to depth 2 left node, so the probability predictions for this sample are 0% for Iris-Setosa (0/54), 90.7% for Iris-Versicolor (49/54), and 9.3% for Iris-Virginica (5/54) CART Training Algorithm Scikit-learn uses Classification and Regression Trees (CART) algorithm to train Decision Trees. CART algorithm: Split the data into two subsets using a single feature k and threshold tk (example, petal length < “2.45 cm”). This is done recursively for each node. k and tk are chosen such that they produce the purest subsets (weighted by their size). The objective is to minimize the cost function as given below: https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/cart-training-algorithm-machine-learning.JPG The algorithm stops executing if one of the following situations occurs: max_depth is reached No further splits are found for each node Other hyperparameters may be used to stop the tree: min_samples_split min_samples_leaf min_weight_fraction_leaf max_leaf_nodes Gini Impurity or Entropy Entropy is one more measure of impurity and can be used in place of Gini. https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/gini-impurity-entrophy.JPG It is a degree of uncertainty, and Information Gain is the reduction that occurs in entropy as one traverses down the tree. Entropy is zero for a DT node when the node contains instances of only one class. Entropy for depth 2 left node in the example given above is: https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/entrophy-for-depth-2.JPG Gini and Entropy both lead to similar trees. DT: Regularization The following figure shows two decision trees on the moons dataset. https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/dt-regularization-machine-learning.JPG The decision tree on the right is restricted by min_samples_leaf = 4. The model on the left is overfitting, while the model on the right generalizes better. Random Forest Classifier Let us have an understanding of Random Forest Classifier below. A random forest can be considered an ensemble of decision trees (Ensemble learning). Random Forest algorithm: Draw a random bootstrap sample of size n (randomly choose n samples from the training set). Grow a decision tree from the bootstrap sample. At each node, randomly select d features. Split the node using the feature that provides the best split according to the objective function, for instance by maximizing the information gain. Repeat the steps 1 to 2 k times. (k is the number of trees you want to create, using a subset of samples) Aggregate the prediction by each tree for a new data point to assign the class label by majority vote (pick the group selected by the most number of trees and assign new data point to that group). Random Forests are opaque, which means it is difficult to visualize their inner workings. https://www.simplilearn.com/ice9/free_resources_article_thumb/random-forest-classifier-graph.JPG However, the advantages outweigh their limitations since you do not have to worry about hyperparameters except k, which stands for the number of decision trees to be created from a subset of samples. RF is quite robust to noise from the individual decision trees. Hence, you need not prune individual decision trees. The larger the number of decision trees, the more accurate the Random Forest prediction is. (This, however, comes with higher computation cost). Key Takeaways Let us quickly run through what we have learned so far in this Classification tutorial. Classification algorithms are supervised learning methods to split data into classes. They can work on Linear Data as well as Nonlinear Data. Logistic Regression can classify data based on weighted parameters and sigmoid conversion to calculate the probability of classes. K-nearest Neighbors (KNN) algorithm uses similar features to classify data. Support Vector Machines (SVMs) classify data by detecting the maximum margin hyperplane between data classes. Naïve Bayes, a simplified Bayes Model, can help classify data using conditional probability models. Decision Trees are powerful classifiers and use tree splitting logic until pure or somewhat pure leaf node classes are attained. Random Forests apply Ensemble Learning to Decision Trees for more accurate classification predictions. Conclusion This completes ‘Classification’ tutorial. In the next tutorial, we will learn 'Unsupervised Learning with Clustering.'

Quickstart tutorial Prerequisites Before reading this tutorial you should know a bit of Python. If you would like to refresh your memory, take a look at the Python tutorial. If you wish to work the examples in this tutorial, you must also have some software installed on your computer. Please see https://scipy.org/install.html for instructions. Learner profile This tutorial is intended as a quick overview of algebra and arrays in NumPy and want to understand how n-dimensional (n>=2) arrays are represented and can be manipulated. In particular, if you don’t know how to apply common functions to n-dimensional arrays (without using for-loops), or if you want to understand axis and shape properties for n-dimensional arrays, this tutorial might be of help. Learning Objectives After this tutorial, you should be able to: Understand the difference between one-, two- and n-dimensional arrays in NumPy; Understand how to apply some linear algebra operations to n-dimensional arrays without using for-loops; Understand axis and shape properties for n-dimensional arrays. The Basics NumPy’s main object is the homogeneous multidimensional array. It is a table of elements (usually numbers), all of the same type, indexed by a tuple of non-negative integers. In NumPy dimensions are called axes. For example, the coordinates of a point in 3D space [1, 2, 1] has one axis. That axis has 3 elements in it, so we say it has a length of 3. In the example pictured below, the array has 2 axes. The first axis has a length of 2, the second axis has a length of 3. [[ 1., 0., 0.], [ 0., 1., 2.]] NumPy’s array class is called ndarray. It is also known by the alias array. Note that numpy.array is not the same as the Standard Python Library class array.array, which only handles one-dimensional arrays and offers less functionality. The more important attributes of an ndarray object are: ndarray.ndim the number of axes (dimensions) of the array. ndarray.shape the dimensions of the array. This is a tuple of integers indicating the size of the array in each dimension. For a matrix with n rows and m columns, shape will be (n,m). The length of the shape tuple is therefore the number of axes, ndim. ndarray.size the total number of elements of the array. This is equal to the product of the elements of shape. ndarray.dtype an object describing the type of the elements in the array. One can create or specify dtype’s using standard Python types. Additionally NumPy provides types of its own. numpy.int32, numpy.int16, and numpy.float64 are some examples. ndarray.itemsize the size in bytes of each element of the array. For example, an array of elements of type float64 has itemsize 8 (=64/8), while one of type complex32 has itemsize 4 (=32/8). It is equivalent to ndarray.dtype.itemsize. ndarray.data the buffer containing the actual elements of the array. Normally, we won’t need to use this attribute because we will access the elements in an array using indexing facilities. An example >>> import numpy as np a = np.arange(15).reshape(3, 5) a array([[ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4], [ 5, 6, 7, 8, 9], [10, 11, 12, 13, 14]]) a.shape (3, 5) a.ndim 2 a.dtype.name 'int64' a.itemsize 8 a.size 15 type(a) <class 'numpy.ndarray'> b = np.array([6, 7, 8]) b array([6, 7, 8]) type(b) <class 'numpy.ndarray'> Array Creation There are several ways to create arrays. For example, you can create an array from a regular Python list or tuple using the array function. The type of the resulting array is deduced from the type of the elements in the sequences. >>> >>> import numpy as np >>> a = np.array([2,3,4]) >>> a array([2, 3, 4]) >>> a.dtype dtype('int64') >>> b = np.array([1.2, 3.5, 5.1]) >>> b.dtype dtype('float64') A frequent error consists in calling array with multiple arguments, rather than providing a single sequence as an argument. >>> >>> a = np.array(1,2,3,4) # WRONG Traceback (most recent call last): ... TypeError: array() takes from 1 to 2 positional arguments but 4 were given >>> a = np.array([1,2,3,4]) # RIGHT array transforms sequences of sequences into two-dimensional arrays, sequences of sequences of sequences into three-dimensional arrays, and so on. >>> >>> b = np.array([(1.5,2,3), (4,5,6)]) >>> b array([[1.5, 2. , 3. ], [4. , 5. , 6. ]]) The type of the array can also be explicitly specified at creation time: >>> >>> c = np.array( [ [1,2], [3,4] ], dtype=complex ) >>> c array([[1.+0.j, 2.+0.j], [3.+0.j, 4.+0.j]]) Often, the elements of an array are originally unknown, but its size is known. Hence, NumPy offers several functions to create arrays with initial placeholder content. These minimize the necessity of growing arrays, an expensive operation. The function zeros creates an array full of zeros, the function ones creates an array full of ones, and the function empty creates an array whose initial content is random and depends on the state of the memory. By default, the dtype of the created array is float64. >>> >>> np.zeros((3, 4)) array([[0., 0., 0., 0.], [0., 0., 0., 0.], [0., 0., 0., 0.]]) >>> np.ones( (2,3,4), dtype=np.int16 ) # dtype can also be specified array([[[1, 1, 1, 1], [1, 1, 1, 1], [1, 1, 1, 1]], [[1, 1, 1, 1], [1, 1, 1, 1], [1, 1, 1, 1]]], dtype=int16) >>> np.empty( (2,3) ) # uninitialized array([[ 3.73603959e-262, 6.02658058e-154, 6.55490914e-260], # may vary [ 5.30498948e-313, 3.14673309e-307, 1.00000000e+000]]) To create sequences of numbers, NumPy provides the arange function which is analogous to the Python built-in range, but returns an array. >>> >>> np.arange( 10, 30, 5 ) array([10, 15, 20, 25]) >>> np.arange( 0, 2, 0.3 ) # it accepts float arguments array([0. , 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, 1.2, 1.5, 1.8]) When arange is used with floating point arguments, it is generally not possible to predict the number of elements obtained, due to the finite floating point precision. For this reason, it is usually better to use the function linspace that receives as an argument the number of elements that we want, instead of the step: >>> >>> from numpy import pi >>> np.linspace( 0, 2, 9 ) # 9 numbers from 0 to 2 array([0. , 0.25, 0.5 , 0.75, 1. , 1.25, 1.5 , 1.75, 2. ]) >>> x = np.linspace( 0, 2*pi, 100 ) # useful to evaluate function at lots of points >>> f = np.sin(x) See also array, zeros, zeros_like, ones, ones_like, empty, empty_like, arange, linspace, numpy.random.Generator.rand, numpy.random.Generator.randn, fromfunction, fromfile Printing Arrays When you print an array, NumPy displays it in a similar way to nested lists, but with the following layout: the last axis is printed from left to right, the second-to-last is printed from top to bottom, the rest are also printed from top to bottom, with each slice separated from the next by an empty line. One-dimensional arrays are then printed as rows, bidimensionals as matrices and tridimensionals as lists of matrices. >>> >>> a = np.arange(6) # 1d array >>> print(a) [0 1 2 3 4 5] >>> >>> b = np.arange(12).reshape(4,3) # 2d array >>> print(b) [[ 0 1 2] [ 3 4 5] [ 6 7 8] [ 9 10 11]] >>> >>> c = np.arange(24).reshape(2,3,4) # 3d array >>> print(c) [[[ 0 1 2 3] [ 4 5 6 7] [ 8 9 10 11]] [[12 13 14 15] [16 17 18 19] [20 21 22 23]]] See below to get more details on reshape. If an array is too large to be printed, NumPy automatically skips the central part of the array and only prints the corners: >>> >>> print(np.arange(10000)) [ 0 1 2 ... 9997 9998 9999] >>> >>> print(np.arange(10000).reshape(100,100)) [[ 0 1 2 ... 97 98 99] [ 100 101 102 ... 197 198 199] [ 200 201 202 ... 297 298 299] ... [9700 9701 9702 ... 9797 9798 9799] [9800 9801 9802 ... 9897 9898 9899] [9900 9901 9902 ... 9997 9998 9999]] To disable this behaviour and force NumPy to print the entire array, you can change the printing options using set_printoptions. >>> >>> np.set_printoptions(threshold=sys.maxsize) # sys module should be imported Basic Operations Arithmetic operators on arrays apply elementwise. A new array is created and filled with the result. >>> >>> a = np.array( [20,30,40,50] ) >>> b = np.arange( 4 ) >>> b array([0, 1, 2, 3]) >>> c = a-b >>> c array([20, 29, 38, 47]) >>> b**2 array([0, 1, 4, 9]) >>> 10*np.sin(a) array([ 9.12945251, -9.88031624, 7.4511316 , -2.62374854]) >>> a<35 array([ True, True, False, False]) Unlike in many matrix languages, the product operator * operates elementwise in NumPy arrays. The matrix product can be performed using the @ operator (in python >=3.5) or the dot function or method: >>> >>> A = np.array( [[1,1], ... [0,1]] ) >>> B = np.array( [[2,0], ... [3,4]] ) >>> A * B # elementwise product array([[2, 0], [0, 4]]) >>> A @ B # matrix product array([[5, 4], [3, 4]]) >>> A.dot(B) # another matrix product array([[5, 4], [3, 4]]) Some operations, such as += and *=, act in place to modify an existing array rather than create a new one. >>> >>> rg = np.random.default_rng(1) # create instance of default random number generator >>> a = np.ones((2,3), dtype=int) >>> b = rg.random((2,3)) >>> a *= 3 >>> a array([[3, 3, 3], [3, 3, 3]]) >>> b += a >>> b array([[3.51182162, 3.9504637 , 3.14415961], [3.94864945, 3.31183145, 3.42332645]]) >>> a += b # b is not automatically converted to integer type Traceback (most recent call last): ... numpy.core._exceptions.UFuncTypeError: Cannot cast ufunc 'add' output from dtype('float64') to dtype('int64') with casting rule 'same_kind' When operating with arrays of different types, the type of the resulting array corresponds to the more general or precise one (a behavior known as upcasting). >>> >>> a = np.ones(3, dtype=np.int32) >>> b = np.linspace(0,pi,3) >>> b.dtype.name 'float64' >>> c = a+b >>> c array([1. , 2.57079633, 4.14159265]) >>> c.dtype.name 'float64' >>> d = np.exp(c*1j) >>> d array([ 0.54030231+0.84147098j, -0.84147098+0.54030231j, -0.54030231-0.84147098j]) >>> d.dtype.name 'complex128' Many unary operations, such as computing the sum of all the elements in the array, are implemented as methods of the ndarray class. >>> >>> a = rg.random((2,3)) >>> a array([[0.82770259, 0.40919914, 0.54959369], [0.02755911, 0.75351311, 0.53814331]]) >>> a.sum() 3.1057109529998157 >>> a.min() 0.027559113243068367 >>> a.max() 0.8277025938204418 By default, these operations apply to the array as though it were a list of numbers, regardless of its shape. However, by specifying the axis parameter you can apply an operation along the specified axis of an array: >>> >>> b = np.arange(12).reshape(3,4) >>> b array([[ 0, 1, 2, 3], [ 4, 5, 6, 7], [ 8, 9, 10, 11]]) >>> >>> b.sum(axis=0) # sum of each column array([12, 15, 18, 21]) >>> >>> b.min(axis=1) # min of each row array([0, 4, 8]) >>> >>> b.cumsum(axis=1) # cumulative sum along each row array([[ 0, 1, 3, 6], [ 4, 9, 15, 22], [ 8, 17, 27, 38]]) Universal Functions NumPy provides familiar mathematical functions such as sin, cos, and exp. In NumPy, these are called “universal functions”(ufunc). Within NumPy, these functions operate elementwise on an array, producing an array as output. >>> >>> B = np.arange(3) >>> B array([0, 1, 2]) >>> np.exp(B) array([1. , 2.71828183, 7.3890561 ]) >>> np.sqrt(B) array([0. , 1. , 1.41421356]) >>> C = np.array([2., -1., 4.]) >>> np.add(B, C) array([2., 0., 6.]) See also all, any, apply_along_axis, argmax, argmin, argsort, average, bincount, ceil, clip, conj, corrcoef, cov, cross, cumprod, cumsum, diff, dot, floor, inner, invert, lexsort, max, maximum, mean, median, min, minimum, nonzero, outer, prod, re, round, sort, std, sum, trace, transpose, var, vdot, vectorize, where Indexing, Slicing and Iterating One-dimensional arrays can be indexed, sliced and iterated over, much like lists and other Python sequences. >>> >>> a = np.arange(10)**3 >>> a array([ 0, 1, 8, 27, 64, 125, 216, 343, 512, 729]) >>> a[2] 8 >>> a[2:5] array([ 8, 27, 64]) # equivalent to a[0:6:2] = 1000; # from start to position 6, exclusive, set every 2nd element to 1000 >>> a[:6:2] = 1000 >>> a array([1000, 1, 1000, 27, 1000, 125, 216, 343, 512, 729]) >>> a[ : :-1] # reversed a array([ 729, 512, 343, 216, 125, 1000, 27, 1000, 1, 1000]) >>> for i in a: ... print(i**(1/3.)) ... 9.999999999999998 1.0 9.999999999999998 3.0 9.999999999999998 4.999999999999999 5.999999999999999 6.999999999999999 7.999999999999999 8.999999999999998 Multidimensional arrays can have one index per axis. These indices are given in a tuple separated by commas: >>> >>> def f(x,y): ... return 10*x+y ... >>> b = np.fromfunction(f,(5,4),dtype=int) >>> b array([[ 0, 1, 2, 3], [10, 11, 12, 13], [20, 21, 22, 23], [30, 31, 32, 33], [40, 41, 42, 43]]) >>> b[2,3] 23 >>> b[0:5, 1] # each row in the second column of b array([ 1, 11, 21, 31, 41]) >>> b[ : ,1] # equivalent to the previous example array([ 1, 11, 21, 31, 41]) >>> b[1:3, : ] # each column in the second and third row of b array([[10, 11, 12, 13], [20, 21, 22, 23]]) When fewer indices are provided than the number of axes, the missing indices are considered complete slices: >>> >>> b[-1] # the last row. Equivalent to b[-1,:] array([40, 41, 42, 43]) The expression within brackets in b[i] is treated as an i followed by as many instances of : as needed to represent the remaining axes. NumPy also allows you to write this using dots as b[i,...]. The dots (...) represent as many colons as needed to produce a complete indexing tuple. For example, if x is an array with 5 axes, then x[1,2,...] is equivalent to x[1,2,:,:,:], x[...,3] to x[:,:,:,:,3] and x[4,...,5,:] to x[4,:,:,5,:]. >>> >>> c = np.array( [[[ 0, 1, 2], # a 3D array (two stacked 2D arrays) ... [ 10, 12, 13]], ... [[100,101,102], ... [110,112,113]]]) >>> c.shape (2, 2, 3) >>> c[1,...] # same as c[1,:,:] or c[1] array([[100, 101, 102], [110, 112, 113]]) >>> c[...,2] # same as c[:,:,2] array([[ 2, 13], [102, 113]]) Iterating over multidimensional arrays is done with respect to the first axis: >>> >>> for row in b: ... print(row) ... [0 1 2 3] [10 11 12 13] [20 21 22 23] [30 31 32 33] [40 41 42 43] However, if one wants to perform an operation on each element in the array, one can use the flat attribute which is an iterator over all the elements of the array: >>> >>> for element in b.flat: ... print(element) ... 0 1 2 3 10 11 12 13 20 21 22 23 30 31 32 33 40 41 42 43 See also Indexing, Indexing (reference), newaxis, ndenumerate, indices Shape Manipulation Changing the shape of an array An array has a shape given by the number of elements along each axis: >>> >>> a = np.floor(10*rg.random((3,4))) >>> a array([[3., 7., 3., 4.], [1., 4., 2., 2.], [7., 2., 4., 9.]]) >>> a.shape (3, 4) The shape of an array can be changed with various commands. Note that the following three commands all return a modified array, but do not change the original array: >>> >>> a.ravel() # returns the array, flattened array([3., 7., 3., 4., 1., 4., 2., 2., 7., 2., 4., 9.]) >>> a.reshape(6,2) # returns the array with a modified shape array([[3., 7.], [3., 4.], [1., 4.], [2., 2.], [7., 2.], [4., 9.]]) >>> a.T # returns the array, transposed array([[3., 1., 7.], [7., 4., 2.], [3., 2., 4.], [4., 2., 9.]]) >>> a.T.shape (4, 3) >>> a.shape (3, 4) The order of the elements in the array resulting from ravel() is normally “C-style”, that is, the rightmost index “changes the fastest”, so the element after a[0,0] is a[0,1]. If the array is reshaped to some other shape, again the array is treated as “C-style”. NumPy normally creates arrays stored in this order, so ravel() will usually not need to copy its argument, but if the array was made by taking slices of another array or created with unusual options, it may need to be copied. The functions ravel() and reshape() can also be instructed, using an optional argument, to use FORTRAN-style arrays, in which the leftmost index changes the fastest. The reshape function returns its argument with a modified shape, whereas the ndarray.resize method modifies the array itself: >>> >>> a array([[3., 7., 3., 4.], [1., 4., 2., 2.], [7., 2., 4., 9.]]) >>> a.resize((2,6)) >>> a array([[3., 7., 3., 4., 1., 4.], [2., 2., 7., 2., 4., 9.]]) If a dimension is given as -1 in a reshaping operation, the other dimensions are automatically calculated: >>> >>> a.reshape(3,-1) array([[3., 7., 3., 4.], [1., 4., 2., 2.], [7., 2., 4., 9.]]) See also ndarray.shape, reshape, resize, ravel Stacking together different arrays Several arrays can be stacked together along different axes: >>> >>> a = np.floor(10*rg.random((2,2))) >>> a array([[9., 7.], [5., 2.]]) >>> b = np.floor(10*rg.random((2,2))) >>> b array([[1., 9.], [5., 1.]]) >>> np.vstack((a,b)) array([[9., 7.], [5., 2.], [1., 9.], [5., 1.]]) >>> np.hstack((a,b)) array([[9., 7., 1., 9.], [5., 2., 5., 1.]]) The function column_stack stacks 1D arrays as columns into a 2D array. It is equivalent to hstack only for 2D arrays: >>> >>> from numpy import newaxis >>> np.column_stack((a,b)) # with 2D arrays array([[9., 7., 1., 9.], [5., 2., 5., 1.]]) >>> a = np.array([4.,2.]) >>> b = np.array([3.,8.]) >>> np.column_stack((a,b)) # returns a 2D array array([[4., 3.], [2., 8.]]) >>> np.hstack((a,b)) # the result is different array([4., 2., 3., 8.]) >>> a[:,newaxis] # view `a` as a 2D column vector array([[4.], [2.]]) >>> np.column_stack((a[:,newaxis],b[:,newaxis])) array([[4., 3.], [2., 8.]]) >>> np.hstack((a[:,newaxis],b[:,newaxis])) # the result is the same array([[4., 3.], [2., 8.]]) On the other hand, the function row_stack is equivalent to vstack for any input arrays. In fact, row_stack is an alias for vstack: >>> >>> np.column_stack is np.hstack False >>> np.row_stack is np.vstack True In general, for arrays with more than two dimensions, hstack stacks along their second axes, vstack stacks along their first axes, and concatenate allows for an optional arguments giving the number of the axis along which the concatenation should happen. Note In complex cases, r_ and c_ are useful for creating arrays by stacking numbers along one axis. They allow the use of range literals (“:”) >>> >>> np.r_[1:4,0,4] array([1, 2, 3, 0, 4]) When used with arrays as arguments, r_ and c_ are similar to vstack and hstack in their default behavior, but allow for an optional argument giving the number of the axis along which to concatenate. See also hstack, vstack, column_stack, concatenate, c_, r_ Splitting one array into several smaller ones Using hsplit, you can split an array along its horizontal axis, either by specifying the number of equally shaped arrays to return, or by specifying the columns after which the division should occur: >>> >>> a = np.floor(10*rg.random((2,12))) >>> a array([[6., 7., 6., 9., 0., 5., 4., 0., 6., 8., 5., 2.], [8., 5., 5., 7., 1., 8., 6., 7., 1., 8., 1., 0.]]) # Split a into 3 >>> np.hsplit(a,3) [array([[6., 7., 6., 9.], [8., 5., 5., 7.]]), array([[0., 5., 4., 0.], [1., 8., 6., 7.]]), array([[6., 8., 5., 2.], [1., 8., 1., 0.]])] # Split a after the third and the fourth column >>> np.hsplit(a,(3,4)) [array([[6., 7., 6.], [8., 5., 5.]]), array([[9.], [7.]]), array([[0., 5., 4., 0., 6., 8., 5., 2.], [1., 8., 6., 7., 1., 8., 1., 0.]])] vsplit splits along the vertical axis, and array_split allows one to specify along which axis to split. Copies and Views When operating and manipulating arrays, their data is sometimes copied into a new array and sometimes not. This is often a source of confusion for beginners. There are three cases: No Copy at All Simple assignments make no copy of objects or their data. >>> >>> a = np.array([[ 0, 1, 2, 3], ... [ 4, 5, 6, 7], ... [ 8, 9, 10, 11]]) >>> b = a # no new object is created >>> b is a # a and b are two names for the same ndarray object True Python passes mutable objects as references, so function calls make no copy. >>> >>> def f(x): ... print(id(x)) ... >>> id(a) # id is a unique identifier of an object 148293216 # may vary >>> f(a) 148293216 # may vary View or Shallow Copy Different array objects can share the same data. The view method creates a new array object that looks at the same data. >>> >>> c = a.view() >>> c is a False >>> c.base is a # c is a view of the data owned by a True >>> c.flags.owndata False >>> >>> c = c.reshape((2, 6)) # a's shape doesn't change >>> a.shape (3, 4) >>> c[0, 4] = 1234 # a's data changes >>> a array([[ 0, 1, 2, 3], [1234, 5, 6, 7], [ 8, 9, 10, 11]]) Slicing an array returns a view of it: >>> >>> s = a[ : , 1:3] # spaces added for clarity; could also be written "s = a[:, 1:3]" >>> s[:] = 10 # s[:] is a view of s. Note the difference between s = 10 and s[:] = 10 >>> a array([[ 0, 10, 10, 3], [1234, 10, 10, 7], [ 8, 10, 10, 11]]) Deep Copy The copy method makes a complete copy of the array and its data. >>> >>> d = a.copy() # a new array object with new data is created >>> d is a False >>> d.base is a # d doesn't share anything with a False >>> d[0,0] = 9999 >>> a array([[ 0, 10, 10, 3], [1234, 10, 10, 7], [ 8, 10, 10, 11]]) Sometimes copy should be called after slicing if the original array is not required anymore. For example, suppose a is a huge intermediate result and the final result b only contains a small fraction of a, a deep copy should be made when constructing b with slicing: >>> >>> a = np.arange(int(1e8)) >>> b = a[:100].copy() >>> del a # the memory of ``a`` can be released. If b = a[:100] is used instead, a is referenced by b and will persist in memory even if del a is executed.

The first rule of broadcasting is that if all input arrays do not have the same number of dimensions, a “1” will be repeatedly prepended to the shapes of the smaller arrays until all the arrays have the same number of dimensions. The second rule of broadcasting ensures that arrays with a size of 1 along a particular dimension act as if they had the size of the array with the largest shape along that dimension. The value of the array element is assumed to be the same along that dimension for the “broadcast” array. After application of the broadcasting rules, the sizes of all arrays must match. More details can be found in Broadcasting. Advanced indexing and index tricks NumPy offers more indexing facilities than regular Python sequences. In addition to indexing by integers and slices, as we saw before, arrays can be indexed by arrays of integers and arrays of booleans. Indexing with Arrays of Indices >>> >>> a = np.arange(12)**2 # the first 12 square numbers >>> i = np.array([1, 1, 3, 8, 5]) # an array of indices >>> a[i] # the elements of a at the positions i array([ 1, 1, 9, 64, 25]) >>> >>> j = np.array([[3, 4], [9, 7]]) # a bidimensional array of indices >>> a[j] # the same shape as j array([[ 9, 16], [81, 49]]) When the indexed array a is multidimensional, a single array of indices refers to the first dimension of a. The following example shows this behavior by converting an image of labels into a color image using a palette. >>> >>> palette = np.array([[0, 0, 0], # black ... [255, 0, 0], # red ... [0, 255, 0], # green ... [0, 0, 255], # blue ... [255, 255, 255]]) # white >>> image = np.array([[0, 1, 2, 0], # each value corresponds to a color in the palette ... [0, 3, 4, 0]]) >>> palette[image] # the (2, 4, 3) color image array([[[ 0, 0, 0], [255, 0, 0], [ 0, 255, 0], [ 0, 0, 0]], [[ 0, 0, 0], [ 0, 0, 255], [255, 255, 255], [ 0, 0, 0]]]) We can also give indexes for more than one dimension. The arrays of indices for each dimension must have the same shape. >>> >>> a = np.arange(12).reshape(3,4) >>> a array([[ 0, 1, 2, 3], [ 4, 5, 6, 7], [ 8, 9, 10, 11]]) >>> i = np.array([[0, 1], # indices for the first dim of a ... [1, 2]]) >>> j = np.array([[2, 1], # indices for the second dim ... [3, 3]]) >>> >>> a[i, j] # i and j must have equal shape array([[ 2, 5], [ 7, 11]]) >>> >>> a[i, 2] array([[ 2, 6], [ 6, 10]]) >>> >>> a[:, j] # i.e., a[ : , j] array([[[ 2, 1], [ 3, 3]], [[ 6, 5], [ 7, 7]], [[10, 9], [11, 11]]]) In Python, arr[i, j] is exactly the same as arr[(i, j)]—so we can put i and j in a tuple and then do the indexing with that. >>> >>> l = (i, j) # equivalent to a[i, j] >>> a[l] array([[ 2, 5], [ 7, 11]]) However, we can not do this by putting i and j into an array, because this array will be interpreted as indexing the first dimension of a. >>> >>> s = np.array([i, j]) # not what we want >>> a[s] Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> IndexError: index 3 is out of bounds for axis 0 with size 3 # same as a[i, j] >>> a[tuple(s)] array([[ 2, 5], [ 7, 11]]) Another common use of indexing with arrays is the search of the maximum value of time-dependent series: >>> >>> time = np.linspace(20, 145, 5) # time scale >>> data = np.sin(np.arange(20)).reshape(5,4) # 4 time-dependent series >>> time array([ 20. , 51.25, 82.5 , 113.75, 145. ]) >>> data array([[ 0. , 0.84147098, 0.90929743, 0.14112001], [-0.7568025 , -0.95892427, -0.2794155 , 0.6569866 ], [ 0.98935825, 0.41211849, -0.54402111, -0.99999021], [-0.53657292, 0.42016704, 0.99060736, 0.65028784], [-0.28790332, -0.96139749, -0.75098725, 0.14987721]]) # index of the maxima for each series >>> ind = data.argmax(axis=0) >>> ind array([2, 0, 3, 1]) # times corresponding to the maxima >>> time_max = time[ind] >>> >>> data_max = data[ind, range(data.shape[1])] # => data[ind[0],0], data[ind[1],1]... >>> time_max array([ 82.5 , 20. , 113.75, 51.25]) >>> data_max array([0.98935825, 0.84147098, 0.99060736, 0.6569866 ]) >>> np.all(data_max == data.max(axis=0)) True You can also use indexing with arrays as a target to assign to: >>> >>> a = np.arange(5) >>> a array([0, 1, 2, 3, 4]) >>> a[[1,3,4]] = 0 >>> a array([0, 0, 2, 0, 0]) However, when the list of indices contains repetitions, the assignment is done several times, leaving behind the last value: >>> >>> a = np.arange(5) >>> a[[0,0,2]]=[1,2,3] >>> a array([2, 1, 3, 3, 4]) This is reasonable enough, but watch out if you want to use Python’s += construct, as it may not do what you expect: >>> >>> a = np.arange(5) >>> a[[0,0,2]]+=1 >>> a array([1, 1, 3, 3, 4]) Even though 0 occurs twice in the list of indices, the 0th element is only incremented once. This is because Python requires “a+=1” to be equivalent to “a = a + 1”. Indexing with Boolean Arrays When we index arrays with arrays of (integer) indices we are providing the list of indices to pick. With boolean indices the approach is different; we explicitly choose which items in the array we want and which ones we don’t. The most natural way one can think of for boolean indexing is to use boolean arrays that have the same shape as the original array: >>> >>> a = np.arange(12).reshape(3,4) >>> b = a > 4 >>> b # b is a boolean with a's shape array([[False, False, False, False], [False, True, True, True], [ True, True, True, True]]) >>> a[b] # 1d array with the selected elements array([ 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]) This property can be very useful in assignments: >>> >>> a[b] = 0 # All elements of 'a' higher than 4 become 0 >>> a array([[0, 1, 2, 3], [4, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0]]) You can look at the following example to see how to use boolean indexing to generate an image of the Mandelbrot set: >>> import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt def mandelbrot( h,w, maxit=20 ): """Returns an image of the Mandelbrot fractal of size (h,w).""" y,x = np.ogrid[ -1.4:1.4:h*1j, -2:0.8:w*1j ] c = x+y*1j z = c divtime = maxit + np.zeros(z.shape, dtype=int) for i in range(maxit): z = z**2 + c diverge = z*np.conj(z) > 2**2 # who is diverging div_now = diverge & (divtime==maxit) # who is diverging now divtime[div_now] = i # note when z[diverge] = 2 # avoid diverging too much return divtime plt.imshow(mandelbrot(400,400)) ../_images/quickstart-1.png The second way of indexing with booleans is more similar to integer indexing; for each dimension of the array we give a 1D boolean array selecting the slices we want: >>> >>> a = np.arange(12).reshape(3,4) >>> b1 = np.array([False,True,True]) # first dim selection >>> b2 = np.array([True,False,True,False]) # second dim selection >>> >>> a[b1,:] # selecting rows array([[ 4, 5, 6, 7], [ 8, 9, 10, 11]]) >>> >>> a[b1] # same thing array([[ 4, 5, 6, 7], [ 8, 9, 10, 11]]) >>> >>> a[:,b2] # selecting columns array([[ 0, 2], [ 4, 6], [ 8, 10]]) >>> >>> a[b1,b2] # a weird thing to do array([ 4, 10]) Note that the length of the 1D boolean array must coincide with the length of the dimension (or axis) you want to slice. In the previous example, b1 has length 3 (the number of rows in a), and b2 (of length 4) is suitable to index the 2nd axis (columns) of a. The ix_() function The ix_ function can be used to combine different vectors so as to obtain the result for each n-uplet. For example, if you want to compute all the a+b*c for all the triplets taken from each of the vectors a, b and c: >>> >>> a = np.array([2,3,4,5]) >>> b = np.array([8,5,4]) >>> c = np.array([5,4,6,8,3]) >>> ax,bx,cx = np.ix_(a,b,c) >>> ax array([[[2]], [[3]], [[4]], [[5]]]) >>> bx array([[[8], [5], [4]]]) >>> cx array([[[5, 4, 6, 8, 3]]]) >>> ax.shape, bx.shape, cx.shape ((4, 1, 1), (1, 3, 1), (1, 1, 5)) >>> result = ax+bx*cx >>> result array([[[42, 34, 50, 66, 26], [27, 22, 32, 42, 17], [22, 18, 26, 34, 14]], [[43, 35, 51, 67, 27], [28, 23, 33, 43, 18], [23, 19, 27, 35, 15]], [[44, 36, 52, 68, 28], [29, 24, 34, 44, 19], [24, 20, 28, 36, 16]], [[45, 37, 53, 69, 29], [30, 25, 35, 45, 20], [25, 21, 29, 37, 17]]]) >>> result[3,2,4] 17 >>> a[3]+b[2]*c[4] 17 You could also implement the reduce as follows: >>> >>> def ufunc_reduce(ufct, *vectors): ... vs = np.ix_(*vectors) ... r = ufct.identity ... for v in vs: ... r = ufct(r,v) ... return r and then use it as: >>> >>> ufunc_reduce(np.add,a,b,c) array([[[15, 14, 16, 18, 13], [12, 11, 13, 15, 10], [11, 10, 12, 14, 9]], [[16, 15, 17, 19, 14], [13, 12, 14, 16, 11], [12, 11, 13, 15, 10]], [[17, 16, 18, 20, 15], [14, 13, 15, 17, 12], [13, 12, 14, 16, 11]], [[18, 17, 19, 21, 16], [15, 14, 16, 18, 13], [14, 13, 15, 17, 12]]]) The advantage of this version of reduce compared to the normal ufunc.reduce is that it makes use of the Broadcasting Rules in order to avoid creating an argument array the size of the output times the number of vectors. Indexing with strings See Structured arrays. Linear Algebra Work in progress. Basic linear algebra to be included here. Simple Array Operations See linalg.py in numpy folder for more. >>> >>> import numpy as np >>> a = np.array([[1.0, 2.0], [3.0, 4.0]]) >>> print(a) [[1. 2.] [3. 4.]] >>> a.transpose() array([[1., 3.], [2., 4.]]) >>> np.linalg.inv(a) array([[-2. , 1. ], [ 1.5, -0.5]]) >>> u = np.eye(2) # unit 2x2 matrix; "eye" represents "I" >>> u array([[1., 0.], [0., 1.]]) >>> j = np.array([[0.0, -1.0], [1.0, 0.0]]) >>> j @ j # matrix product array([[-1., 0.], [ 0., -1.]]) >>> np.trace(u) # trace 2.0 >>> y = np.array([[5.], [7.]]) >>> np.linalg.solve(a, y) array([[-3.], [ 4.]]) >>> np.linalg.eig(j) (array([0.+1.j, 0.-1.j]), array([[0.70710678+0.j , 0.70710678-0.j ], [0. -0.70710678j, 0. +0.70710678j]])) Parameters: square matrix Returns The eigenvalues, each repeated according to its multiplicity. The normalized (unit "length") eigenvectors, such that the column ``v[:,i]`` is the eigenvector corresponding to the eigenvalue ``w[i]`` . Tricks and Tips Here we give a list of short and useful tips. “Automatic” Reshaping To change the dimensions of an array, you can omit one of the sizes which will then be deduced automatically: >>> >>> a = np.arange(30) >>> b = a.reshape((2, -1, 3)) # -1 means "whatever is needed" >>> b.shape (2, 5, 3) >>> b array([[[ 0, 1, 2], [ 3, 4, 5], [ 6, 7, 8], [ 9, 10, 11], [12, 13, 14]], [[15, 16, 17], [18, 19, 20], [21, 22, 23], [24, 25, 26], [27, 28, 29]]]) Vector Stacking How do we construct a 2D array from a list of equally-sized row vectors? In MATLAB this is quite easy: if x and y are two vectors of the same length you only need do m=[x;y]. In NumPy this works via the functions column_stack, dstack, hstack and vstack, depending on the dimension in which the stacking is to be done. For example: >>> >>> x = np.arange(0,10,2) >>> y = np.arange(5) >>> m = np.vstack([x,y]) >>> m array([[0, 2, 4, 6, 8], [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]]) >>> xy = np.hstack([x,y]) >>> xy array([0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4]) The logic behind those functions in more than two dimensions can be strange. See also NumPy for Matlab users Histograms The NumPy histogram function applied to an array returns a pair of vectors: the histogram of the array and a vector of the bin edges. Beware: matplotlib also has a function to build histograms (called hist, as in Matlab) that differs from the one in NumPy. The main difference is that pylab.hist plots the histogram automatically, while numpy.histogram only generates the data. >>> import numpy as np rg = np.random.default_rng(1) import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # Build a vector of 10000 normal deviates with variance 0.5^2 and mean 2 mu, sigma = 2, 0.5 v = rg.normal(mu,sigma,10000) # Plot a normalized histogram with 50 bins plt.hist(v, bins=50, density=1) # matplotlib version (plot) # Compute the histogram with numpy and then plot it (n, bins) = np.histogram(v, bins=50, density=True) # NumPy version (no plot) plt.plot(.5*(bins[1:]+bins[:-1]), n) ../_images/quickstart-2.png Further reading The Python tutorial NumPy Reference SciPy Tutorial SciPy Lecture Notes A matlab, R, IDL, NumPy/SciPy dictionary © Copyright 2008-2020, The SciPy community.
