list manipulation - UnFlatten an array into a ragged matrix


Trying to unflatten an array that was part of ragged array of sub matrices.


As input we have flattened array:


  myflatarray={7.7056, 4.20225, 3.02775, 7.60807, 9.77169, 6.18476, 4.80993,
   6.32965, 2.69882, 0.268505, 1.78048, 9.67702, 0.875699, 7.18504, 
   1.62811, 0.0313174, 5.66048, 1.61613, 5.71987, 0.971484, 3.87503, 
   2.8537, 2.68776, 3.47433, 2.81483, 4.0387, 1.74939, 3.12037, 4.18016, 
   2.35264, 0.853583, 1.22412, 0.382633, 3.67874, 8.68059, 8.02419, 
   6.9547, 7.11112};


and the original dimensions of the submatrices in the ragged array.


  mydimensions={{4, 5}, {3, 4}, {2, 3}};

In other words the original object looked like


 original={
  {{7.7056, 4.20225, 3.02775, 7.60807, 9.77169}, 
   {6.18476, 4.80993, 6.32965, 2.69882, 0.268505}, 
   {1.78048, 9.67702, 0.875699, 7.18504, 1.62811}, 
   {0.0313174, 5.66048, 1.61613, 5.71987,  0.971484}}, 
  {{3.87503, 2.8537, 2.68776, 3.47433}, 

   {2.81483, 4.0387,1.74939, 3.12037}, 
   {4.18016, 2.35264, 0.853583, 1.22412}}, 
  {{0.382633, 3.67874, 8.68059}, 
   {8.02419, 6.9547, 7.11112}}
 };

I tried using the undocumented function Internal`Deflatten, and it didn't work, but I was happy that it didn't crash my kernel!


I'm able to do it rather inefficiently this way:


  arraytoweights[myflatarray_,mydimensions_]:=
  MapIndexed[Partition[#1, mydimensions[[Last@#2, 1]]] &, 

  Take[myflatarray, #] & /@ ((# - {0, 1}) & /@ (Partition[
  FoldList[Plus, 1, (Times @@@ mydimensions)], 2, 1]))];

My main problem is that this is part of an optimization function, that needs to be called many times during the optimization, and this is atm the slowest part. It also can't seem to be compiled. I suppose with Compile I have to make sure there are no ragged arrays generated in-between neither. Any suggestions are appreciated!


Edit: So it turns out mine is not as bad as I thought. Though I like the extensions to more structure as @Leonid did. I have no need for it now, but I see how I can use it in the future.


Here is the current tally of the answers and their timing, using a random larger result, the typical size I need. (only with submatrices atm)


    mydimensions = {{30, 4}, {10, 5}, {3, 4}, {2, 1}};
    SeedRandom[1345]
    original = ((RandomReal[{0, 10}, ##] & /@ mydimensions));
    myflatarray = Flatten[original];


For the timing I ran the result from each with $10^3$ runs. For example, here the set for my results.


    lalmeiresults = 
         Table[First@
           Timing[lalmei = arraytoweights[myflatarray, mydimensions];],    {i,Range@1000]}]
     lalmei === original



True





Here is the BoxWhiskerChart, with only the 95% quantile, no outliers. (Not sure if this the best way to do timing, but here it goes )


enter image description here


Couple of notes about the image: the distribution of mine and Leonid's, and seismatica's is about the same. Picket's is only a bit larger 25% only.


Mr.Wizard's, kguler's and WReach's results only shoot up as the size of the sub-matrices gets larger.


With a small examples, Mr. Wizard's is the fastest.


      mydimensions = {{3, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 4}, {2, 1}};
      SeedRandom[1345]
      original = ((RandomReal[{0, 10}, ##] & /@ mydimensions));


Here the distributions in that case: enter image description here



Answer



Here is a version which is quite general, and based on Mr.Wizard's dynP function:


dynP[l_, p_] := 
   MapThread[l[[# ;; #2]] &, {{0}~Join~Most@# + 1, #} &@Accumulate@p]

ClearAll[tdim];
tdim[{dims__Integer}] := Times[dims];
tdim[dims : {__List}] := Total@Map[tdim, dims];


ClearAll[pragged];
pragged[lst_, {}] := lst;
pragged[lst_, dims : {__Integer}] := 
   Fold[Partition, lst, Most@Reverse@dims];
pragged[lst_, dims : {__List}] := 
   MapThread[pragged, {dynP[lst, tdim /@ dims], dims}];

It may look similar to other answers, but the difference is that it can take more general specs. Example:


pragged[Range[20], {{{2, 3}, {2, 4}}, {2, 3}}]


(* 
   {
     {{{1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}}, {{7, 8, 9, 10}, {11, 12, 13, 14}}}, 
     {{15,16, 17}, {18, 19, 20}}
   }
*)

In general, the specs to pragged will form a tree.

functions - Get leading series expansion term?

Given a function f[x] , I would like to have a function leadingSeries that returns just the leading term in the series around x=0 . For example: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x)] x and leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x^3)/4)/(4 + x)] -(1/(16 x^3)) Is there such a function in Mathematica? Or maybe one can implement it efficiently? EDIT I finally went with the following implementation, based on Carl Woll 's answer: lds[ex_,x_]:=( (ex/.x->(x+O[x]^2))/.SeriesData[U_,Z_,L_List,Mi_,Ma_,De_]:>SeriesData[U,Z,{L[[1]]},Mi,Mi+1,De]//Quiet//Normal) The advantage is, that this one also properly works with functions whose leading term is a constant: lds[Exp[x],x] 1 Answer Update 1 Updated to eliminate SeriesData and to not return additional terms Perhaps you could use: leadingSeries[expr_, x_] := Normal[expr /. x->(x+O[x]^2) /. a_List :> Take[a, 1]] Then for your examples: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x), x] leadingSeries[Exp[x], x] leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x...

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-...
