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}}

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-...
