I do have a list with integer arrays where every element has value <= 100. I need to figure out the smallest difference between non-equal elements for every array. So far I have the following ( item
represents one array):
unq = numpy.unique(item)
mind = numpy.amin(
(numpy.append(unq, [999]))
-(numpy.append([-999],unq))
)
Using numpy
I first get sorted array of unique elements. After adding high positive number at the end and high negative number at the beginning I substract these two arrays and get minimum value.
Is there any faster way to do this?
I think your solution is ok except that instead of using numpy.append
you would better use np.diff
, like np.diff(np.unique(a))
:
In [1]: import numpy as np
In [2]: a = np.random.randint(0,100,size=50)
In [4]: np.unique(a)
Out[4]:
array([ 0, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 15, 18, 20, 22, 23, 27, 30, 31, 32, 33, 37,
38, 42, 43, 45, 48, 49, 57, 59, 62, 65, 70, 74, 75, 76, 78, 79, 80,
83, 84, 88, 91, 93, 94, 96, 98])
In [5]: np.diff(np.unique(a))
Out[5]:
array([2, 1, 2, 2, 1, 7, 3, 2, 2, 1, 4, 3, 1, 1, 1, 4, 1, 4, 1, 2, 3, 1, 8,
2, 3, 3, 5, 4, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 3, 1, 4, 3, 2, 1, 2, 2])
In [6]: np.diff(np.unique(a)).min()
Out[6]: 1
