Repeat But In Variable Sized Chunks In Numpy

I have an array that is the concatenation of different chunks: a = np.array([0, 1, 2, 10, 11, 20, 21, 22, 23]) # >< >< >< chunk

Solution 1:

An even more "numpythonic" way of solving this than the other answer is -

np.concatenate(np.repeat(np.split(a, np.cumsum(chunks))[:-1], repeats))

array([ 0,  1,  2, 10, 11, 10, 11, 10, 11, 20, 21, 22, 23, 20, 21, 22, 23])

Notice, no explicit for-loops.

(np.split has an implicit loop as pointed out by @Divakar).

EDIT: Benchmarks (MacBook pro 13) -

Divakar's solution scales better for larger arrays, chunks and repeats as @Mad Physicist pointed out in his post.

Solution 2:

A more numpythonic way to do your task (than the other answer) is:

result = np.concatenate([ np.tile(tbl, rpt) for tbl, rpt in
    zip(np.split(a, np.cumsum(chunks[:-1])), repeats) ])

The result is:

array([ 0,  1,  2, 10, 11, 10, 11, 10, 11, 20, 21, 22, 23, 20, 21, 22, 23])

Solution 3:

For those chunks being range arrays, we can directly work on the input array and thus avoid the final indexing step and that should improve things -

def create_ranges(starts, ends, l):
    clens = l.cumsum()
    ids = np.ones(clens[-1],dtype=int)
    ids[0] = starts[0]
    ids[clens[:-1]] = starts[1:] - ends[:-1]+1
    out = ids.cumsum()
    return out

s = np.r_[0,chunks.cumsum()]
starts = a[np.repeat(s[:-1],repeats)]
l = np.repeat(chunks, repeats)
ends = starts+l
out = create_ranges(starts, ends, l)

Solution 4:

For informational purposes, I've benchmarked the working solutions here.:

def MadPhysicist1(a, chunks, repeats):
    in_offset = np.r_[0, np.cumsum(chunks[:-1])]
    out_offset = np.r_[0, np.cumsum(chunks[:-1] * repeats[:-1])]
    output = np.zeros((chunks * repeats).sum(), dtype=a.dtype)
    for c in range(len(chunks)):
        for r in range(repeats[c]):
            for i in range(chunks[c]):
                output[out_offset[c] + r * chunks[c] + i] = a[in_offset[c] + i]
    return output

def MadPhysicist2(a, chunks, repeats):
    regions = chunks * repeats
    index = np.arange(regions.sum())

    segments = np.repeat(chunks, repeats)
    resets = np.cumsum(segments[:-1])
    offsets = np.zeros_like(index)
    offsets[resets] = segments[:-1]
    offsets[np.cumsum(regions[:-1])] -= chunks[:-1]

    index -= np.cumsum(offsets)

    output = a[index]
    return output

def create_ranges(starts, ends, l):
    clens = l.cumsum()
    ids = np.ones(clens[-1],dtype=int)
    ids[0] = starts[0]
    ids[clens[:-1]] = starts[1:] - ends[:-1]+1
    out = ids.cumsum()
    return out

def Divakar(a, chunks, repeats):
    s = np.r_[0, chunks.cumsum()]
    starts = a[np.repeat(s[:-1], repeats)]
    l = np.repeat(chunks, repeats)
    ends = starts+l
    return create_ranges(starts, ends, l)

def Valdi_Bo(a, chunks, repeats):
    return np.concatenate([np.tile(tbl, rpt) for tbl, rpt in
                           zip(np.split(a, np.cumsum(chunks[:-1])), repeats)])

def AkshaySehgal(a, chunks, repeats):
    return np.concatenate(np.repeat(np.split(a, np.cumsum(chunks))[:-1], repeats))

I've looked at the timings for three input sizes: ~100, ~1000 and ~10k elements:

np.random.seed(0xA)
chunksA = np.random.randint(1, 10, size=20)   # ~100 elements
repeatsA = np.random.randint(1, 10, size=20)
arrA = np.random.randint(100, size=chunksA.sum())

np.random.seed(0xB)
chunksB = np.random.randint(1, 100, size=20)  # ~1000 elements
repeatsB = np.random.randint(1, 10, size=20)
arrB = np.random.randint(100, size=chunksB.sum())

np.random.seed(0xC)
chunksC = np.random.randint(1, 100, size=200)  # ~10000 elements
repeatsC = np.random.randint(1, 10, size=200)
arrC = np.random.randint(100, size=chunksC.sum())

Here are some results:

|               |    A    |    B    |    C    |
+---------------+---------+---------+---------+
| MadPhysicist1 | 1.92ms |   16ms |  159ms |
| MadPhysicist2 | 85.5 µs |  153 µs |  744 µs |
| Divakar       | 75.9 µs | 95.9 µs |  312 µs |
| Valdi_Bo      |  370 µs |  369 µs |  3.4ms |
| AkshaySehgal  |  163 µs |  165 µs | 1.24ms |

Solution 5:

    for rep, num in zip(repeats, chunks):
        res.extend(list(range(num))*rep)

[0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 0, 1, 2, 3]
