data - Breaking a sorted list into bins of a specified size

Can somebody please explain me the following:

If I try to split data every increase in 0.5:

list = Range[1.2, 3.2, 0.15]

{1.2, 1.35, 1.5, 1.65, 1.8, 1.95, 2.1, 2.25, 2.4, 2.55, 2.7, 2.85, 3., 3.15}

I would like to get the following:

{{1.2, 1.35, 1.5, 1.65}, { 1.8, 1.95, 2.1}, {2.25, 2.4, 2.55, 2.7}, {2.85,3., 3.15}

If I use the example given I here:

Splitting a list using SplitBy, by comparing adjacent elements

I can split either not at all

splittedlist = Split[list, (#1 < ( #2 - 0.1)) &]

 {{1.2, 1.35, 1.5, 1.65, 1.8, 1.95, 2.1, 2.25, 2.4, 2.55, 2.7, 2.85, 3., 3.15}}

or I can split each of them

splittedlist = Split[list, (#1 < ( #2 - 0.5)) &]


{{1.2}, {1.35}, {1.5}, {1.65}, {1.8}, {1.95}, {2.1}, {2.25}, {2.4}, {2.55}, {2.7}, {2.85}, {3.}, {3.15}}

I found this package,

http : // www.theophys.kth.se/~phl/Mathematica/

which uses exactly this method (on 2D data, but still), why does it work in their method? Obviously, I am missing something.

I found this way of doing it,

Calculate mean of values in bins

but is this really the simplest way to split into intervals? I could of course write a loop, but I tried to not use a loop.

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...

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...

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-...
