list manipulation - How to use Reap and Sow instead of Append to


I have matrix and and i want to do increment in a do loop and and i want to store in list using append to. It works fine for less values, But when i want to do it for values around 1 million the program is slow.


 x = {{0.1},{0.2}};xm = {{0.4},{0.5}};
Do[datax[i] = {}; dataxm[i] = {};, {i, 1, 2}]


Do[
x = x + t;
xm = xm + t;
Do[AppendTo[datax[i], Flatten[{t, x[[i]]}]];, {i, 1, 2}];
Do[AppendTo[dataxm[i], Flatten[{t, xm[[i]]}]];, {i, 1, 2}], {t, 0, 1, 0.1}]


datax[1]


{{0., 0.1}, {0.1, 0.2}, {0.2, 0.4}, {0.3, 0.7}, {0.4, 1.1}, {0.5, 1.6}, {0.6, 2.2}, {0.7, 2.9}, {0.8, 3.7}, {0.9, 4.6}, {1., 5.6}}

datax[2]

{{0., 0.2}, {0.1, 0.3}, {0.2, 0.5}, {0.3, 0.8}, {0.4, 1.2}, {0.5,
1.7}, {0.6, 2.3}, {0.7, 3.}, {0.8, 3.8}, {0.9, 4.7}, {1., 5.7}}

dataxm[1]

{{0., 0.4}, {0.1, 0.5}, {0.2, 0.7}, {0.3, 1.}, {0.4,

1.4}, {0.5, 1.9}, {0.6, 2.5}, {0.7, 3.2}, {0.8, 4.}, {0.9,
4.9}, {1., 5.9}}

dataxm[2]

{{0., 0.5}, {0.1, 0.6}, {0.2, 0.8}, {0.3, 1.1}, {0.4,
1.5}, {0.5, 2.}, {0.6, 2.6}, {0.7, 3.3}, {0.8, 4.1}, {0.9, 5.}, {1.,
6.}}

Similar to the above I want to use reap and sow functions to speed it up but i can store only the last value. Why?



 x = {{0.1},{0.2}};xm = {{0.4},{0.5}};


Do[
x = x + t;xm = xm + t;

Do[datax[i] = Reap[Sow[{t, x[[i]]}]][[2, 1]], {i, 1, 2}];

Do[dataxm[i] = Reap[Sow[{t, xm[[i]]}]][[2, 1]], {i, 1, 2}];



, {t, 0, 1, 0.1}]

datax[1]
{{1., {5.6}}}

datax[2]
{{1., {5.7}}}



datax[1]
{{1., {5.9}}}

datax[2]
{{1., {6.0}}

Can anyone help in fixing this issue? Thanks in advance



Answer



You need olny one Reap for all Sows -- that's primarily the advantage of using them.


Moreover, you may use tags to obtain datax[1] and datax[2]:



x = {{0.1}, {0.2}};
ClearAll[datax];
datax = Association@Reap[
Do[
x = x + t;
Do[
Sow[
Flatten[{t, x[[tag]]}],
tag
],

{tag, 1, 2}],
{t, 0, 1, 0.1}],
_, Rule][[2]]


<|1 -> {{0., 0.1}, {0.1, 0.2}, {0.2, 0.4}, {0.3, 0.7}, {0.4, 1.1}, {0.5, 1.6}, {0.6, 2.2}, {0.7, 2.9}, {0.8, 3.7}, {0.9, 4.6}, {1., 5.6}}, 2 -> {{0., 0.2}, {0.1, 0.3}, {0.2, 0.5}, {0.3, 0.8}, {0.4, 1.2}, {0.5, 1.7}, {0.6, 2.3}, {0.7, 3.}, {0.8, 3.8}, {0.9, 4.7}, {1., 5.7}}|>



Now you can access datax[1] and datax[2] as before.



Because the question changed: This should allow you to assemble more than one list in one go:



data = Merge[
Reap[
Do[
x = x + t;
xm = xm + t;
Do[
Sow[Flatten[{t, x[[i]]}], "datax" -> i];
Sow[Flatten[{t, xm[[i]]}], "dataxm" -> i]
,
{i, 1, 2}], {t, 0, 1, 0.1}],

_, #1[[1]] -> Association[#1[[2]] -> #2] &][[2]]
, Association
];

Now data["datax"] and data["dataxm"] should behave like datax and dataxm.



You can obtain essentially the same result much more efficiently with arrays produced by Table:


x = {0.1, 0.2};
xm = {0.4, 0.5};
{datax, dataxm} = Transpose[

Table[{{{t, t}, x += t}, {{t, t}, xm += t}}, {t, 0, 1, 0.1}],
{3, 1, 4, 2}];

Now you have (notice the double brackets):


datax[[1]]
datax[[2]]
dataxm[[1]]
dataxm[[2]]



Even faster for this particular problem is to avoid cursive addition and to use vectorized operations.


The Reap/Sow method from above:


n = 1000000;

x = {0.1, 0.2};
xm = {0.4, 0.5};
First@AbsoluteTiming[
data = Merge[
Reap[
Do[

x = x + t;
xm = xm + t;
Do[
Sow[Flatten[{t, x[[i]]}], "datax" -> i];
Sow[Flatten[{t, xm[[i]]}], "dataxm" -> i]
,
{i, 1, 2}], {t, 0., 1., 1./n}],
_, #1[[1]] -> Association[#1[[2]] -> #2] &][[2]]
, Association
];

]


11.4845



The Table method from above:


x = {0.1, 0.2};
xm = {0.4, 0.5};
First@AbsoluteTiming[
{datax, dataxm} =

Transpose[
Table[{{{t, t}, x += t}, {{t, t}, xm += t}}, {t, 0., 1.,
1./n}], {3, 1, 4, 2}];
]


2.74062



Vectorized version:


x = {0.1, 0.2};

xm = {0.4, 0.5};
First@AbsoluteTiming[
tlist = Subdivide[0., 1., n];
slist = Accumulate[tlist];
datax2 = {
Transpose[{tlist, x[[1]] + slist}],
Transpose[{tlist, x[[2]] + slist}]
};
dataxm2 = {
Transpose[{tlist, xm[[1]] + slist}],

Transpose[{tlist, xm[[2]] + slist}]
};
]


0.061355



So, the latter is 44/187 time faster than the other methods. So you should take these considerations into account when using Reap and Sow.


Errors:


Max[Abs[data["datax"][1] - datax[[1]]]]

Max[Abs[data["datax"][2] - datax[[2]]]]
Max[Abs[data["dataxm"][1] - dataxm[[1]]]]
Max[Abs[data["dataxm"][2] - dataxm[[2]]]]
Max[Abs[datax - datax2]]
Max[Abs[dataxm - dataxm2]]

plotting - Plot 4D data with color as 4th dimension

I have a list of 4D data (x position, y position, amplitude, wavelength). I want to plot x, y, and amplitude on a 3D plot and have the color of the points correspond to the wavelength. I have seen many examples using functions to define color but my wavelength cannot be expressed by an analytic function. Is there a simple way to do this? Answer Here a another possible way to visualize 4D data: data = Flatten[Table[{x, y, x^2 + y^2, Sin[x - y]}, {x, -Pi, Pi,Pi/10}, {y,-Pi,Pi, Pi/10}], 1]; You can use the function Point along with VertexColors . Now the points are places using the first three elements and the color is determined by the fourth. In this case I used Hue, but you can use whatever you prefer. Graphics3D[ Point[data[[All, 1 ;; 3]], VertexColors -> Hue /@ data[[All, 4]]], Axes -> True, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1/GoldenRatio}]

plotting - Filling between two spheres in SphericalPlot3D

Manipulate[ SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, Mesh -> None, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], {n, 0, 1}] I cant' seem to be able to make a filling between two spheres. I've already tried the obvious Filling -> {1 -> {2}} but Mathematica doesn't seem to like that option. Is there any easy way around this or ... Answer There is no built-in filling in SphericalPlot3D . One option is to use ParametricPlot3D to draw the surfaces between the two shells: Manipulate[ Show[SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], ParametricPlot3D[{ r {Sin[t] Cos[1.5 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[1.5 Pi], Cos[t]}, r {Sin[t] Cos[0 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[0 Pi], Cos[t]}}, {r, 1, 2 - n}, {t, 0, Pi}, PlotStyle -> Yellow, Mesh -> {2, 15}]], {n, 0, 1}]

plotting - Mathematica: 3D plot based on combined 2D graphs

I have several sigmoidal fits to 3 different datasets, with mean fit predictions plus the 95% confidence limits (not symmetrical around the mean) and the actual data. I would now like to show these different 2D plots projected in 3D as in but then using proper perspective. In the link here they give some solutions to combine the plots using isometric perspective, but I would like to use proper 3 point perspective. Any thoughts? Also any way to show the mean points per time point for each series plus or minus the standard error on the mean would be cool too, either using points+vertical bars, or using spheres plus tubes. Below are some test data and the fit function I am using. Note that I am working on a logit(proportion) scale and that the final vertical scale is Log10(percentage). (* some test data *) data = Table[Null, {i, 4}]; data[[1]] = {{1, -5.8}, {2, -5.4}, {3, -0.8}, {4, -0.2}, {5, 4.6}, {1, -6.4}, {2, -5.6}, {3, -0.7}, {4, 0.04}, {5, 1.0}, {1, -6.8}, {2, -4.7}, {3, -1....
