list manipulation - Select rows from table by keys


I am looking for a way to iteratively select all sublists with the same ID (my 1st column, residual columns are AbsoluteTime entries). First, I obtained the list of unique IDs with Union. Then I want to use this list for the selection task. I assume that it must work with Sequence and ReplaceAll, but could not make it work. Here's what I have so far:


ticketList = Union[dataList[[1 ;;, 1]]];
tempList = Select[dataList, #1[[1]] == x &] /. x ->  Sequence[ticketList];

My ultimate goal is to build up a TemporalData array with all items which each belong to the same ID.


My data is has dimensions n x m. The ticket list has dimension t. The resulting table should have dimensions t x i x m, where i is the cardinality of items with the same ID, and the i's sum to n. I assumed, that I can then map TemporalData on every t-th item in order to build the temporal list.



I searched the site but didn't find a previous question that seem to address my problem. Maybe I misunderstood the use cases of similiar questions.



Answer



Here's an attempt to address your question based on the sort of data I imagine you have in mind. First, some data. Note: the integers are understood to be ID's.


times = RandomReal[{0, 100}, {20, 5}];
ids = RandomInteger[4, 20];
data = Transpose[Prepend[Transpose[times], ids]]


{{1, 95.2049, 98.1609, 35.1946, 32.636, 81.2383}, {3, 92.8072, 36.0249, 68.3793, 54.1311, 95.1051}, {3, 4.26078, 47.9919, 31.627, 53.0064, 96.8995}, {4, 18.2792, 94.4752, 5.66575, 5.62435, 35.8945}, {4, 67.4149, 68.1577, 25.281, 17.8322, 15.3123}, {2, 77.6343, 35.3486, 81.3541, 73.6091, 51.4884}, {0, 28.5346, 29.2705, 78.9446, 32.2112, 7.05296}, {4, 91.9405, 79.4176, 75.6947, 72.1069, 5.94247}, {2, 11.0662, 24.4381, 79.5328, 20.2195, 79.4703}, {0, 61.6779, 73.8532, 61.5861, 7.79641, 38.3836}, {4, 52.3064, 95.9954, 62.3701, 34.7654, 99.8931}, {2, 92.6636, 57.8744, 23.4167, 76.3724, 44.8631}, {2, 73.7149, 84.6716, 36.1234, 89.5432, 39.8183}, {3, 50.4444, 7.98911, 69.4092, 96.3191, 79.6566}, {3, 41.2261, 58.5009, 57.7989, 58.9187, 8.87187}, {4, 53.5552, 11.3278, 8.24034, 67.3065, 19.4648}, {2, 19.9501, 30.5649, 73.9395, 13.3722, 36.5546}, {3, 96.5631, 19.1948, 23.226, 92.8776, 64.4002}, {0, 65.9084, 10.2902, 8.83754, 93.0831, 36.464}, {1, 18.2795, 12.4673, 42.0253, 39.8816, 50.8252}}




Now to gather the records that have the same id:


GatherBy[data, First]//TableForm

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...
