ata type of the matrix shape : 2-tuple Shape of the matrix ndim : int Number of dimensions (this is always 2) nnz size data CSR format data array of the matrix indices CSR format index array of the matrix indptr CSR format index pointer array of the matrix has_sorted_indices has_canonical_format T Notes ----- Sparse matrices can be used in arithmetic operations: they support addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and matrix power. Advantages of the CSR format - efficient arithmetic operations CSR + CSR, CSR * CSR, etc. - efficient row slicing - fast matrix vector products Disadvantages of the CSR format - slow column slicing operations (consider CSC) - changes to the sparsity structure are expensive (consider LIL or DOK) Canonical Format - Within each row, indices are sorted by column. - There are no duplicate entries. Examples -------- >>> import numpy as np >>> from scipy.sparse import csr_matrix >>> csr_matrix((3, 4), dtype=np.int8).toarray() array([[0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0]], dtype=int8) >>> row = np.array([0, 0, 1, 2, 2, 2]) >>> col = np.array([0, 2, 2, 0, 1, 2]) >>> data = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]) >>> csr_matrix((data, (row, col)), shape=(3, 3)).toarray() array([[1, 0, 2], [0, 0, 3], [4, 5, 6]]) >>> indptr = np.array([0, 2, 3, 6]) >>> indices = np.array([0, 2, 2, 0, 1, 2]) >>> data = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]) >>> csr_matrix((data, indices, indptr), shape=(3, 3)).toarray() array([[1, 0, 2], [0, 0, 3], [4, 5, 6]]) Duplicate entries are summed together: >>> row = np.array([0, 1, 2, 0]) >>> col = np.array([0, 1, 1, 0]) >>> data = np.array([1, 2, 4, 8]) >>> csr_matrix((data, (row, col)), shape=(3, 3)).toarray() array([[9, 0, 0], [0, 2, 0], [0, 4, 0]]) As an example of how to construct a CSR matrix incrementally, the following snippet builds a term-document matrix from texts: >>> docs = [["hello", "world", "hello"], ["goodbye", "cruel", "world"]] >>> indptr = [0] >>> indices = [] >>> data = [] >>> vocabulary = {} >>> for d in docs: ... for term in d: ... index = vocabulary.setdefault(term, len(vocabulary)) ... indices.append(index) ... data.append(1) ... indptr.append(len(indices)) ... >>> csr_matrix((data, indices, indptr), dtype=int).toarray() array([[2, 1, 0, 0], [0, 1, 1, 1]]) r]
