在 python 上绘制带有颜色的特征时出现“ValueError”

Question

I have the following data which needs to be linearly classified using least squares. I wanted to visualise my data and then plot the features with colours but I got the following error when assigning the colour colour_cond .

ValueError: The truth value of an array with more than one element is ambiguous. Use a.any() or a.all()

Note that data_t is made of 1s and 0s.

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import glob
from scipy.io import loadmat

%matplotlib inline

data = glob.glob('Mydata_A.mat')
data_c1 = np.array([loadmat(entry, variable_names= ("X"), squeeze_me=True)["X"][:,0] for entry in data])
data_c2 = np.array([loadmat(entry, variable_names= ("X"), squeeze_me=True)["X"][:,1] for entry in data])
data_t = np.array([loadmat(entry, variable_names= ("T"), squeeze_me=True)["T"][:] for entry in data])

colour_cond=['red' if t==1 else 'blue' for t in data_t]
plt.scatter(data_c1,data_c2,colour=colour_cond)
plt.xlabel('X1')
plt.ylabel('X2')
plt.title('Training Data (X1,X2)')
plt.show()

Answer 1

Your problem is that the arrays data_c1 , data_c2 and data_t seem to have more that one dimension. In your following line:

colour_cond=['red' if t==1 else 'blue' for t in data_t]

the variable t is not a scalar but a NumPy array, and t == 1 is ambiguous for non-scalar NumPy objects. I would suggest you to ravel (ie flatten) all your arrays:

import glob
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from scipy.io import loadmat

%matplotlib inline

data = loadmat('Mydata_A.mat')
data_c1 = np.array([
    loadmat(entry, variable_names=("X"), squeeze_me=True)["X"][:, 0]
    for entry in entries]).ravel()
data_c2 = np.array([
    loadmat(entry, variable_names=("X"), squeeze_me=True)["X"][:, 1]
    for entry in entries]).ravel()
data_t = np.array([
    loadmat(entry, variable_names=("T"), squeeze_me=True)["T"][:]
    for entry in entries]).ravel()

colour_cond = ['red' if t==1 else 'blue' for t in data_t]
plt.scatter(data_c1, data_c2, color=colour_cond)
plt.xlabel('X1')
plt.ylabel('X2')
plt.title('Training Data (X1,X2)')
plt.show()
