functional style - Map vs. Table for index-specific operations on 2D arrays–Part II


This is an extension of my recent question, Map vs. Table for index-specific operations on 2D arrays


For that question I gave a minimal working example, since I was more interested in learning generally about a functional approach to index-specific operations on 2D arrays than in solving my specific problem.


The answers I received were very helpful in enabling me to see how a functional approach could be more syntactically straightforward than my usual tool for such problems (Table). But when I tried to apply that functional approach to my actual problem (which I have solved with Table), I ran into trouble.


Here is some sample data. Each row starts with an employer number, and is followed by 11 fields of data for each employee of that employer. This contains data for two employers, nos. 125 and 126; no. 125 has two employees, and no. 126 has three.


t = {{125.`, "Employee Number(See line above)", " 1", 
" Date of Birth", " 11/24/1969", " Sex", " Male",
" Employee's Home 5 digit Zip Code", " 22202",
" Current Insurance", " Employee Only", " Permanent",

"Employee Number(See line above)", " 2", " Date of Birth",
" 06/12/1972", " Sex", " Female",
" Employee's Home 5 digit Zip Code", " 22204",
" Current Insurance", " Employee and Children or Family",
" Permanent"}, {126.`, "Employee Number(See line above)", " 1",
" Date of Birth", " 12/04/1967", " Sex", " Female",
" Employee's Home 5 digit Zip Code", " 90024",
" Current Insurance", " Employee and Spouse or Domestic Partner",
" Temporary", "Employee Number(See line above)", " 2",
" Date of Birth", " 11/04/1971", " Sex", " Male",

" Employee's Home 5 digit Zip Code", " 90021",
" Current Insurance", " Employee Only", " Permanent",
"Employee Number(See line above)", " 3", " Date of Birth",
" 02/13/1967", " Sex", " Male",
" Employee's Home 5 digit Zip Code", " 90021",
" Current Insurance", " Employee Only", " Temporary"}};

Suppose I want to pull out the local employee no. (1, 2, 3, etc.), DOB, gender, zip code, type of insurance, and employment status for each employee. I can do that with Table (DataViaTable1) but, as I learned from my last question, a functional approach is more semantically straightforward (DataViaMap1) [N.B.: Both of these give the same output, so I've only pasted one screenshot.]


DataViaTable1 = Table[Table[ { t[[ROW, 3 + COL*11]], t[[ROW, 5 + COL*11]], 
t[[ROW, 7 + COL*11]], t[[ROW, 9 + COL*11]],

t[[ROW, 11 + COL*11]], t[[ROW, 12 + COL*11]]} , {COL,
0, (Floor[N[Length[t[[ROW]]]/11]]) - 1}], {ROW, 1, Length@t}];
DataViaTable1 // TableForm

DataViaMap1 = {#[[2]], #[[4]], #[[6]], #[[8]], #[[10]], #[[11]]} & /@
Partition[#, 11] & /@ Rest /@ t;
DataViaMap1 // TableForm

enter image description here


But what I actually need is to create a unique ID for each employee, which is the (employer ID x 100) + (local employee ID). For instance, the 2nd employee of employer 125 would have an employee ID of 12502. I then need to prepend that to the data for each employee. With Table, that's easy to do (Rationalize coverts the employer number to an exact number, and ToExpression is needed because the local employee no. is a string):



DataViaTable2 = 
Table[Table[ {
Rationalize[t[[ROW, 1]], 0]*100 +
ToExpression@t[[ROW, 3 + COL*11]], t[[ROW, 5 + COL*11]],
t[[ROW, 7 + COL*11]], t[[ROW, 9 + COL*11]],
t[[ROW, 11 + COL*11]]} , {COL,
0, (Floor[N[Length[t[[ROW]]]/11]]) - 1}], {ROW, 1, Length@t}];
DataViaTable2 // TableForm

enter image description here



Is there a simple (simpler than my Table syntax) way to do this using a functional approach?



Answer



Flatten[{parent = 100 Rationalize[#[[1]], 0]; 
{parent + ToExpression[#[[2]]], #[[4]], #[[6]], #[[8]], #[[10]]} & /@
Partition[Rest[#], 11]} & /@ t, 1];
% // TableForm

plotting - Plot 4D data with color as 4th dimension

I have a list of 4D data (x position, y position, amplitude, wavelength). I want to plot x, y, and amplitude on a 3D plot and have the color of the points correspond to the wavelength. I have seen many examples using functions to define color but my wavelength cannot be expressed by an analytic function. Is there a simple way to do this? Answer Here a another possible way to visualize 4D data: data = Flatten[Table[{x, y, x^2 + y^2, Sin[x - y]}, {x, -Pi, Pi,Pi/10}, {y,-Pi,Pi, Pi/10}], 1]; You can use the function Point along with VertexColors . Now the points are places using the first three elements and the color is determined by the fourth. In this case I used Hue, but you can use whatever you prefer. Graphics3D[ Point[data[[All, 1 ;; 3]], VertexColors -> Hue /@ data[[All, 4]]], Axes -> True, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1/GoldenRatio}]

plotting - Filling between two spheres in SphericalPlot3D

Manipulate[ SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, Mesh -> None, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], {n, 0, 1}] I cant' seem to be able to make a filling between two spheres. I've already tried the obvious Filling -> {1 -> {2}} but Mathematica doesn't seem to like that option. Is there any easy way around this or ... Answer There is no built-in filling in SphericalPlot3D . One option is to use ParametricPlot3D to draw the surfaces between the two shells: Manipulate[ Show[SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], ParametricPlot3D[{ r {Sin[t] Cos[1.5 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[1.5 Pi], Cos[t]}, r {Sin[t] Cos[0 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[0 Pi], Cos[t]}}, {r, 1, 2 - n}, {t, 0, Pi}, PlotStyle -> Yellow, Mesh -> {2, 15}]], {n, 0, 1}]

plotting - Mathematica: 3D plot based on combined 2D graphs

I have several sigmoidal fits to 3 different datasets, with mean fit predictions plus the 95% confidence limits (not symmetrical around the mean) and the actual data. I would now like to show these different 2D plots projected in 3D as in but then using proper perspective. In the link here they give some solutions to combine the plots using isometric perspective, but I would like to use proper 3 point perspective. Any thoughts? Also any way to show the mean points per time point for each series plus or minus the standard error on the mean would be cool too, either using points+vertical bars, or using spheres plus tubes. Below are some test data and the fit function I am using. Note that I am working on a logit(proportion) scale and that the final vertical scale is Log10(percentage). (* some test data *) data = Table[Null, {i, 4}]; data[[1]] = {{1, -5.8}, {2, -5.4}, {3, -0.8}, {4, -0.2}, {5, 4.6}, {1, -6.4}, {2, -5.6}, {3, -0.7}, {4, 0.04}, {5, 1.0}, {1, -6.8}, {2, -4.7}, {3, -1....
