[Numpy-discussion] Profiling with cProfile

2009-02-09 Thread Simon Palmer
Hi, I am trying to profile a bit of code I have written using cProfile. When I run it I get the message: TypeError: unhashable type: 'numpy.ndarray' I am using runctx with some local variables which are ndarrays. I am guessing that this is a lmitation of either cProfile or numpy or the mix of

[Numpy-discussion] Multiplying a matrix by a vector

2009-02-04 Thread Simon Palmer
Bit of a newb question I suspect... I have a matrix and a vector which has the same number of elements as the matrix has rows. I want to multiply each element in a row in the matrix by the corresponding element in the vector. I can obviously do this with a loop, but am guessing there is a more

[Numpy-discussion] numpy array serialization with JSON

2008-11-10 Thread Simon Palmer
Does anyone have a recommendation of a library/method for serialization of numpy arrays to and from text (specifically for the purposes of embedding in XML)? I don't want to use pickle or tostring() because my XML has to be consumable across a variety of programming environments. I'm currently us

2008-09-15 Thread Simon Palmer
Thanks very much everyone, this has been very helpful. I have been doing some timing of my own and the order of magnitude difference that numpy provides wins. I'm learning python as I go so some of my questions come from a lack of language skillls, but it is good to get to know the numpy dialect

2008-06-16 Thread Simon Palmer
At the risk of uttering a heresy, are you bound to Python for this? I bet you could find a C library that will work well, plus it is not a hard algorithm to code yourself. I am pretty sure I have used a numerical recipes algorithm for regression in my distant past. Also I can't help thinking the

[Numpy-discussion] Large symmetrical matrix

2008-06-10 Thread Simon Palmer
Hi I have a problem which involves the creation of a large square matrix which is zero across its diagonal and symmetrical about the diagonal i.e. m[i,j] = m[j,i] and m[i,i] = 0. So, in fact, it is a large triangular matrix. I was wondering whether there is any way of easily handling a matrix of
