xsort¶

Defined in xtensor/xsort.hpp

group xt_xsort

Because sorting functions need to access the tensor data repeatedly, they evaluate their input and may allocate temporaries.

Functions

template<class E> inline auto sort(const xexpression<E> &e, std::ptrdiff_t axis = -1)¶

Sort xexpression (optionally along axis) The sort is performed using the std::sort functions.

A copy of the xexpression is created and returned.

Parameters

e – xexpression to sort
axis – axis along which sort is performed

Returns

sorted array (copy)

template<class E> inline auto argsort(const xexpression<E> &e, std::ptrdiff_t axis = -1)¶

Argsort xexpression (optionally along axis) Performs an indirect sort along the given axis.

Returns an xarray of indices of the same shape as e that index data along the given axis in sorted order.

Parameters

e – xexpression to argsort
axis – axis along which argsort is performed

Returns

argsorted index array

template<class E, class C, class R = detail::flatten_sort_result_type_t<E>, class = std::enable_if_t<!xtl::is_integral<C>::value, int>> inline R partition(const xexpression<E> &e, const C &kth_container, placeholders::xtuph)¶

Partially sort xexpression.

Partition shuffles the xexpression in a way so that the kth element in the returned xexpression is in the place it would appear in a sorted array and all elements smaller than this entry are placed (unsorted) before.

The optional third parameter can either be an axis or xnone() in which case the xexpression will be flattened.

This function uses std::nth_element internally.

xt::xarray<float> a = {1, 10, -10, 123};
std::cout << xt::partition(a, 0) << std::endl; // {-10, 1, 123, 10} the correct entry at index 0
std::cout << xt::partition(a, 3) << std::endl; // {1, 10, -10, 123} the correct entry at index 3
std::cout << xt::partition(a, {0, 3}) << std::endl; // {-10, 1, 10, 123} the correct entries at index 0
and 3 

Parameters

e – input xexpression
kth_container – a container of indices that should contain the correctly sorted value
axis – either integer (default = -1) to sort along last axis or xnone() to flatten before sorting

Returns

partially sorted xcontainer

template<class E, class C, class R = typename detail::linear_argsort_result_type<typename detail::sort_eval_type<E>::type>::type, class = std::enable_if_t<!xtl::is_integral<C>::value, int>> inline R argpartition(const xexpression<E> &e, const C &kth_container, placeholders::xtuph)¶

Partially sort arguments.

Argpartition shuffles the indices to a xexpression in a way so that the index for the kth element in the returned xexpression is in the place it would appear in a sorted array and all elements smaller than this entry are placed (unsorted) before.

The optional third parameter can either be an axis or xnone() in which case the xexpression will be flattened.

This function uses std::nth_element internally.

xt::xarray<float> a = {1, 10, -10, 123};
std::cout << xt::argpartition(a, 0) << std::endl; // {2, 0, 3, 1} the correct entry at index 0
std::cout << xt::argpartition(a, 3) << std::endl; // {0, 1, 2, 3} the correct entry at index 3
std::cout << xt::argpartition(a, {0, 3}) << std::endl; // {2, 0, 1, 3} the correct entries at index 0
and 3 

Parameters

e – input xexpression
kth_container – a container of indices that should contain the correctly sorted value
axis – either integer (default = -1) to sort along last axis or xnone() to flatten before sorting

Returns

xcontainer with indices of partial sort of input

template<class T = double, class E, class P> inline auto quantile(E &&e, const P &probas, std::ptrdiff_t axis, T alpha, T beta)¶

Compute quantiles over the given axis.

In a sorted array represneting a distribution of numbers, the quantile of a probability p is the the cut value q such that a fraction p of the distribution is lesser or equal to q. When the cutpoint falls between two elemnts of the sample distribution, a interpolation is computed using the alpha and beta coefficients, as descripted in (Hyndman and Fan, 1996).

The algorithm partially sorts entries in a copy along the axis axis.

Parameters

e – Expression containing the distribution over which the quantiles are computed.
probas – An list of probability associated with each desired quantiles. All elements must be in the range [0, 1].
axis – The dimension in which to compute the quantiles, i.e the axis representing the distribution.
alpha – Interpolation parameter. Must be in the range [0, 1]].
beta – Interpolation parameter. Must be in the range [0, 1]].

Template Parameters

T – The type in which the quatile are computed.

Returns

An expression with as many dimensions as the input e. The first axis correspond to the quantiles. The other axes are the axes that remain after the reduction of e.

template<class T = double, class E, class P> inline auto quantile(E &&e, const P &probas, T alpha, T beta)¶

Compute quantiles over the given axis.

The function takes the name of a predefined method to compute to interpolate between values.
