[Numpy-discussion] Select-based median (in light of code freeze)

2012-07-15 Thread Mike Ressler
Hi, A couple of years ago there was a flurry of work partially at my instigation at SciPy 2009 to build a better median function based on a select algorithm rather than a sort algorithm. It seemed that it had progressed quite far, but the code in lib/function_base.py still uses a sort. Has the sel

[Numpy-discussion] Bugs in histogram and matplotlib-hist

2008-11-11 Thread Mike Ressler
I did an update to a Fedora 9 workstation yesterday that included updating numpy to 1.2.0 and matplotlib 0.98.3 (python version is 2.5.1). This seems to have played havoc with some of the histogram plotting we do. I was aware of the histogram changes in 1.2.0, but something doesn't seem to have wor
