date and time - Different results with DateRange and LeapYearsQ in Mathematica 9 and 10


With Mathematica 9.0 for Mac OS X x86 (64-bit) (January 24, 2013) one could use


DateRange[{2000}, {2010}, "Year"]

to achive


{{2000}, {2001}, {2002}, {2003}, {2004}, {2005}, {2006}, {2007}, {2008}, {2009}, {2010}}

or


leapyears = Select[DateRange[{2000}, {2020}, "Year"], LeapYearQ[#] &]


with the result


{{2000}, {2004}, {2008}, {2012}, {2016}, {2020}}

With Mathematica 10.0 for Mac OS X x86 (64-bit) (June 29, 2014)


DateRange[{2000}, {2010}, "Year"]

one will get


{{2000, 1, 1}, {2001, 1, 1}, {2002, 1, 1}, {2003, 1, 1}, {2004, 1, 
  1}, {2005, 1, 1}, {2006, 1, 1}, {2007, 1, 1}, {2008, 1, 1}, {2009, 

  1, 1}, {2010, 1, 1}}

leapyears = Select[DateRange[{2000}, {2020}, "Year"], LeapYearQ[#] &]


{{2000, 1, 1}, {2004, 1, 1}, {2008, 1, 1}, {2012, 1, 1}, {2016, 1, 
  1}, {2020, 1, 1}}

The Function DateObject does not clear a bean to me


DateRange[DateObject[{2000}], DateObject[{2012}], "Year"]

enter image description here



So, how can i get rid of the additional month, day information on V10, i.e. using leapyears and DateObject returning Year only?



Answer



I would use:


DateRange[{2000}, {2010}, "Year"][[All, {1}]]


{{2000}, {2001}, {2002}, {2003}, {2004}, {2005}, {2006}, {2007}, {2008}, {2009}, {2010}}

% ~Select~ LeapYearQ



{{2000}, {2004}, {2008}}

Note the {1} in the Part parameters; see Head and everything except Head?

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...
