Python/Numpy array manipulation in Mathematica syntax


As a python programmer, numpy tools usually come to my mind if I want to manipulate arrays (list, matrices, ...). Is there any reference (e.g., dictionary) of how to translate numpy syntax to Mathematica syntax? For instance, assuming a is an array, I found the following translations (python code as quotes, Mathematica code as code):



  • linspace / logspace



a = np.linspace(0,10,11)




a = Array[# &, 11, {0, 10}]
(* {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10} *)


  • element selection based on condition



a[a>0]



Select[a, # > 0 &]

(* {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10} *)


  • element selection based on other boolean array



s = a>0


a[s]



s = # > 0 & /@ a

Pick[a, s]
(* {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10} *)



a[3:-2:2]



a[[4;;-3;;2]]
(* {3, 5, 7} *)


Such a correspondence list is what I am looking for. Does this already exist? If not, I believe it would be helpful to extend this Q&A post to continuously build such a list.


One thing I am trying to use just now is np.roll. Using the example from above, I am searching for a command that yields


EquivalentOfNpRoll[a,2]
(* {9, 10, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}

How would I do this? Permute seems to be an overkill. At least it was far from obvious to me how to implement this rolling permutation in a general but compact way.


Update:


From the comments:



np.roll(a,2)




RotateRight[a, 2]
(* {9, 10, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8} *)


a=np.arange(0,11,1)



a = Range[0, 10, 1]

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...

How to thread a list

I have data in format data = {{a1, a2}, {b1, b2}, {c1, c2}, {d1, d2}} Tableform: I want to thread it to : tdata = {{{a1, b1}, {a2, b2}}, {{a1, c1}, {a2, c2}}, {{a1, d1}, {a2, d2}}} Tableform: And I would like to do better then pseudofunction[n_] := Transpose[{data2[[1]], data2[[n]]}]; SetAttributes[pseudofunction, Listable]; Range[2, 4] // pseudofunction Here is my benchmark data, where data3 is normal sample of real data. data3 = Drop[ExcelWorkBook[[Column1 ;; Column4]], None, 1]; data2 = {a #, b #, c #, d #} & /@ Range[1, 10^5]; data = RandomReal[{0, 1}, {10^6, 4}]; Here is my benchmark code kptnw[list_] := Transpose[{Table[First@#, {Length@# - 1}], Rest@#}, {3, 1, 2}] &@list kptnw2[list_] := Transpose[{ConstantArray[First@#, Length@# - 1], Rest@#}, {3, 1, 2}] &@list OleksandrR[list_] := Flatten[Outer[List, List@First[list], Rest[list], 1], {{2}, {1, 4}}] paradox2[list_] := Partition[Riffle[list[[1]], #], 2] & /@ Drop[list, 1] RM[list_] := FoldList[Transpose[{First@li...

mathematical optimization - Minimizing using indices, error: Part::pkspec1: The expression cannot be used as a part specification

I want to use Minimize where the variables to minimize are indices pointing into an array. Here a MWE that hopefully shows what my problem is. vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@ { Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; Minimize[{Total@((vec1[[#]] - vec2[[u[#]]])^2 & /@ Range[1, 3]), cons}, vars, Integers] The error I get: Part::pkspec1: The expression u[1] cannot be used as a part specification. >> Answer Ok, it seems that one can get around Mathematica trying to evaluate vec2[[u[1]]] too early by using the function Indexed[vec2,u[1]] . The working MWE would then look like the following: vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@{ Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; NMinimize[ {Total@((vec1[[#]] - Indexed[vec2, u[#]])^2 & /@ R...
