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

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 - How to draw lines between specified dots on ListPlot?

I would like to create a plot where I have unconnected dots and some connected. So far, I have figured out how to draw the dots. My code is the following: ListPlot[{{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4,13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full] I have thought using ListLinePlot command, but I don't know how to specify to the command to draw only selected lines between the dots. Do have any suggestions/hints on how to do that? Thank you. Answer One possibility would be to use Epilog with Line : ListPlot[ {{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4, 13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full, Epilog -> { Line[ ...

equation solving - Invert and fit implicitly defined curve

I need to fit an implicitly defined curve. I thought I could get some data out of Solve , and then using FindFit . Therefore, I would like to find the relation the parametric curve defined by $F(x,y)=0$: Solve[-(1/2) + 1/2 (0.41202 BesselK[0, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]] + (0.101483 x BesselK[1, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]])/Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]) == 0, y] But I can't get an output: Solve was unable to solve the system with inexact coefficients or the system obtained by direct rationalization of inexact numbers present in the system. Since many of the methods used by Solve require exact input, providing Solve with an exact version of the system may help. >> Edit: In particular, I would like to fit the data coming from the curve with the expression of another curve, and not with a function $f(x)$. In particular, since this clearly looks like a cardioid , I would like it to fit to something like it. What other strategies could I try?

dynamic - How can I make a clickable ArrayPlot that returns input?

I would like to create a dynamic ArrayPlot so that the rectangles, when clicked, provide the input. Can I use ArrayPlot for this? Or is there something else I should have to use? Answer ArrayPlot is much more than just a simple array like Grid : it represents a ranged 2D dataset, and its visualization can be finetuned by options like DataReversed and DataRange . These features make it quite complicated to reproduce the same layout and order with Grid . Here I offer AnnotatedArrayPlot which comes in handy when your dataset is more than just a flat 2D array. The dynamic interface allows highlighting individual cells and possibly interacting with them. AnnotatedArrayPlot works the same way as ArrayPlot and accepts the same options plus Enabled , HighlightCoordinates , HighlightStyle and HighlightElementFunction . data = {{Missing["HasSomeMoreData"], GrayLevel[ 1], {RGBColor[0, 1, 1], RGBColor[0, 0, 1], GrayLevel[1]}, RGBColor[0, 1, 0]}, {GrayLevel[0], GrayLevel...
