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

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-...

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...
