list manipulation - Replace values which obey certain criteria

I'd like to replace all values in a list which obey one or more criteria with another value.

Example: Replace all values>30 by $30$.

data={{3,35},{2,7}}

Afterwards it should be:

{{3,30},{2,7}}

Example #2:

aa= {300., 150., 100., 76.8421, 64.0909, 55.567, 49.1935, 44.2262, 
    40.2247, 36.9355, 34.1667, 31.8138, 29.7887, 28.0087, 26.4537, 
    25.0612, 23.8186, 22.7059, 21.6854, 20.7663, 19.9265, 19.1519, 
    18.4323, 17.7739, 17.1672, 16.6007, 16.0648, 15.5605, 15.098}

If a value of aa is greater than 100 I want to replace it with an arbitrary value, e.g. 50.

Answer

Up front you have a choice between pattern-based and numeric manipulation of an array. Pattern-based is more general; numeric is usually fastest when applicable.

a = {{21, 95, 50}, {39, 32, 76}, {9, 12, 75}};

Examples of pattern based methods:

a /. n_Integer /; n > 30 -> 30

a /. n_?NumericQ /; n > 30 -> 30


Replace[a, n_?(#>30&) -> 30, {2}]

Examples of numeric methods:

Clip[a, {-∞, 30}]

(a - 30) UnitStep[30 - a] + 30

Other, less desirable methods:

If[# > 30, 30, #, #] & //@ a


Map[#~Min~30 &, a, {-1}]

Fast numeric methods for the second example:

Clip[aa, {-∞, 100}, {0, 50.}]

(1 - #) 50. + aa # & @ UnitStep[100 - aa]

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-...
