associations - Reversing a GroupBy operation


Suppose that I have a this list of associations


   data = {<|"axis" -> x, "model" -> a, "p1" -> 1, "p2" -> 2|>,
           <|"axis" -> x, "model" -> b, "p1" -> 3, "p2" -> 4|>,
           <|"axis" -> y, "model" -> a, "p1" -> 5, "p2" -> 6|>,
           <|"axis" -> y, "model" -> b, "p1" -> 7, "p2" -> 8|>}

and I group the data into a nested association form:


grouped = GroupBy[data, 

                  {Key["axis"] -> KeyDrop["axis"],
                   Key["model"] -> KeyDrop["model"]},
                  First]

<|x -> <|a -> <|"p1" -> 1, "p2" -> 2|>,
         b -> <|"p1" -> 3, "p2" -> 4|> |>, 
  y -> <|a -> <|"p1" -> 5, "p2" -> 6|>,
         b -> <|"p1" -> 7, "p2" -> 8|> |> |>

How could you reverse this operation?



I have found a way to reverse it but it is very convoluted:


grouped // 
   AssociationMap[
    Function[{rule1}, 
     Keys[rule1] -> (AssociationMap[
        Function[{rule2}, 
         Keys[rule2] -> 
          Prepend[Values@rule2, {"axis" -> Keys[rule1], 
            "model" -> Keys[rule2]}]], Values[rule1]])]] //
  Query[Values, Values] //

 Flatten

I am looking for a more readable way to do this. Ideally one would use something like MatAt but as far as I know one cannot access values from higher levels on nested associations like this.



Answer



This looks a little simpler:


Catenate @ MapIndexed[
  Append[#,Thread[{"axis", "model"} -> Replace[#2, Key[x_] :> x, {1}] ]] &, 
  grouped, 
  {2}
]


(* 
   {
     <|"p1" -> 1, "p2" -> 2, "axis" -> x, "model" -> a|>, 
     <|"p1" -> 3, "p2" -> 4, "axis" -> x, "model" -> b|>, 
     <|"p1" -> 5, "p2" -> 6, "axis" -> y, "model" -> a|>, 
     <|"p1" -> 7, "p2" -> 8, "axis" -> y, "model" -> b|>
   }
*)


I didn't care about the order of keys, but if it matters, it can be easily fixed too.


EDIT


Generalization by WReach:


ungroup[keys_][assocs_] := 
  With[{l = {Length@keys}}, 
    Level[
      MapIndexed[<|Thread[keys -> #2[[All, 1]]], #|> &, assocs, l], 
      l
    ]
  ]


This can be used as:


ungroup[{"axis", "model"}][grouped]

And in this particular case, yields the same result, but can be used also for more (or less) deep nesting.


END EDIT

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-...
