Filter the rows in a list of tuples using numpy












2














I am looking for a quicker way to filter out the list of tuples, using numpy and avoiding loops.



A = [(27157, 4),
(24814, 0),
(1047, 2),
(18265, 2),
(2857, 4),
(23854, 2),
(36881, 0)]


Now I have to filter it based on the second element, i.e. 4.
If '4' is present form one list 'B', if not form list 'C'.



That is:



B = [(27157, 4),(2857, 4)]
C = [(24814, 0),(1047, 2),(18265, 2),(23854, 2),(36881, 0)]

  • Yes, currently its the list of tuples, on which I am performing the operation using for loop, but I am looking out for a quicker method, so thought of using numpy.

With NumPy, you can use Boolean indexing to return arrays:



mask = A[:, 1] == 4
B = A[mask]
C = A[~mask]


This requires your input to be a NumPy array:



A = np.array([(27157, 4),
(24814, 0),
(1047, 2),
(18265, 2),
(2857, 4),
(23854, 2),
(36881, 0)])

    To be fast you must turn you list of tuple in a more efficient data structure. if you want to keep tuples, you can use a structured array :



    dt=dtype([('val',int),('key',int)])
    B=ndarray(len(A),dt,array(A))

    B[B['key']==4] #--> array([(27157, 4), ( 2857, 4)],...
    B[B['key']!=4] #--> array([(24814, 0), ( 1047, 2), (18265, 2), (23854, 2), (36881, 0)],...
