plotting - Make a density list plot/histogram from large, pre-binned data set?


I have a large data set consisting of $\mathcal{O}(10^9)$ two-dimensional points. In order to save memory and time I have pre-binned these into a uniform grid of $500 \times 500$ bins using Fortran. When imported into Mathematica 8.0 as a table the resulting data look like:



data = {{0.388348, 0.388349, 9},{0.388348, 0.776699, 23},...},



where the first two items of each entry correspond to the $x$-$y$-coordinates of the upper-right-hand corner of the bin and the third is the count.


Edit:





  • For a sample of the raw data, raw=RandomReal[1,{1000000000,2}] is a good approximation. This is obviously unworkable.




  • For the binned data: binned=Table[{.01*Ceiling[raw[[i,1]]/.01],.01*Ceiling[raw[[i,2]]/.01],RandomInteger[1000]},{i,1,250000}].




I would like to plot this pre-binned data set in the form of a DensityHistogram, but my data format doesn't fit into what this function is expecting. I have reviewed a similar question for one-dimensional histograms at Histograms with pre-counted data, however I'm at a loss as to how to apply this to 2-D. I have also looked at doing




Image[Rescale[data]]



on the raw data. However, this crashes immediately with a SIGSEGV error that has the Wolfram Support team puzzled. Consequently, I haven't gone very far down this road.


Edit:



  • I have also tried ListDensityPlot[data,InterpolationOrder->0]. For the full data set, Mathematica hangs for over 10 minutes, at which point it runs out of memory and the kernel shuts down. For a subset of the data, I get something more reasonable, but I would need some way to scale this up to $500^2$ data points.


Making these plots seem to be something that is fairly easily done in Matplotlib, but I have already made some other plots in Mathematica and don't want to mess with different styles. I'm fairly new to Mathematica and don't have a good knowledge of all the functionality, unfortunately.


So, how can I make a DensityHistogram when the bins and counts have already been calculated?

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...
