Chapter 1. Working with
Vectors, Matrices and Arrays
in NumPy

A NOTE FOR EARLY RELEASE READERS

With Early Release ebooks, you get books in their earliest form—the authors’
raw and unedited content as they write—so you can take advantage of these
technologies long before the official release of these titles.
This will be the 1st chapter of the final book.
If you have comments about how we might improve the content and/or
examples in this book, or if you notice missing material within this chapter,
please reach out to the authors at [email protected].

1.0 Introduction
NumPy is a foundational tool of the Python machine learning stack.
NumPy allows for efficient operations on the data structures often
used in machine learning: vectors, matrices, and tensors. While
NumPy is not the focus of this book, it will show up frequently
throughout the following chapters. This chapter covers the most
common NumPy operations we are likely to run into while working
on machine learning workflows.

1.1 Creating a Vector

Problem
You need to create a vector.
Solution
Use NumPy to create a one-dimensional array:

# Load library
import numpy as np

# Create a vector as a row

vector_row = np.array([1, 2, 3])

# Create a vector as a column

vector_column = np.array([[1],
[2],
[3]])

Discussion
NumPy’s main data structure is the multidimensional array. A vector
is just an array with a single dimension. In order to create a vector,
we simply create a one-dimensional array. Just like vectors, these
arrays can be represented horizontally (i.e., rows) or vertically (i.e.,
columns).

Euclidean vector, Wikipedia

1.2 Creating a Matrix

Problem
You need to create a matrix.

Solution
Use NumPy to create a two-dimensional array:
 # Load library
import numpy as np

# Create a matrix
matrix = np.array([[1, 2],
[1, 2],
[1, 2]])

Discussion
To create a matrix we can use a NumPy two-dimensional array. In
our solution, the matrix contains three rows and two columns (a
column of 1s and a column of 2s).
NumPy actually has a dedicated matrix data structure:

matrix_object = np.mat([[1, 2],

[1, 2],
[1, 2]])

matrix([[1, 2],
[1, 2],
[1, 2]])

However, the matrix data structure is not recommended for two

reasons. First, arrays are the de facto standard data structure of
NumPy. Second, the vast majority of NumPy operations return
arrays, not matrix objects.

1.3 Creating a Sparse Matrix

Problem
Given data with very few nonzero values, you want to efficiently
represent it.

Solution
Create a sparse matrix:

# Load libraries
import numpy as np
from scipy import sparse

# Create a matrix
matrix = np.array([[0, 0],
[0, 1],
[3, 0]])

# Create compressed sparse row (CSR) matrix

matrix_sparse = sparse.csr_matrix(matrix)

Discussion
A frequent situation in machine learning is having a huge amount of
data; however, most of the elements in the data are zeros. For
example, imagine a matrix where the columns are every movie on
Netflix, the rows are every Netflix user, and the values are how many
times a user has watched that particular movie. This matrix would
have tens of thousands of columns and millions of rows! However,
since most users do not watch most movies, the vast majority of
elements would be zero.
A sparse matrix is a matrix in which most elements are 0. Sparse
matrices only store nonzero elements and assume all other values
will be zero, leading to significant computational savings. In our
solution, we created a NumPy array with two nonzero values, then
converted it into a sparse matrix. If we view the sparse matrix we
can see that only the nonzero values are stored:

# View sparse matrix

print(matrix_sparse)

(1, 1) 1
(2, 0) 3

There are a number of types of sparse matrices. However, in

compressed sparse row (CSR) matrices, (1, 1) and (2, 0)
represent the (zero-indexed) indices of the non-zero values 1 and 3,
respectively. For example, the element 1 is in the second row and
second column. We can see the advantage of sparse matrices if we
create a much larger matrix with many more zero elements and then
compare this larger matrix with our original sparse matrix:

# Create larger matrix

matrix_large = np.array([[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
[0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
[3, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]])

# Create compressed sparse row (CSR) matrix

matrix_large_sparse = sparse.csr_matrix(matrix_large)

# View original sparse matrix

print(matrix_sparse)

(1, 1) 1
(2, 0) 3

# View larger sparse matrix

print(matrix_large_sparse)

(1, 1) 1
(2, 0) 3
As we can see, despite the fact that we added many more zero
elements in the larger matrix, its sparse representation is exactly the
same as our original sparse matrix. That is, the addition of zero
elements did not change the size of the sparse matrix.
As mentioned, there are many different types of sparse matrices,
such as compressed sparse column, list of lists, and dictionary of
keys. While an explanation of the different types and their
implications is outside the scope of this book, it is worth noting that
while there is no “best” sparse matrix type, there are meaningful
differences between them and we should be conscious about why
we are choosing one type over another.

1.4 Pre-allocating Numpy Arrays

Problem
You need to pre-allocate arrays of a given size with some value.

Solution
NumPy has functions for generating vectors and matrices of any size
using 0s, 1s, or values of your choice.

# Load library
import numpy as np

# Generate a vector of shape (1,5) containing all zeros

vector = np.zeros(shape=5)
 # View the vector
print(vector)

array([0., 0., 0., 0., 0.])

# Generate a matrix of shape (3,3) containing all ones

matrix = np.full(shape=(3,3), 1)

# View the vector

print(matrix)

array([[1., 1., 1.],

[1., 1., 1.],
[1., 1., 1.]])

Discussion
Generating arrays prefilled with data is useful for a number of
purposes, such as making code more performant or having synthetic
data to test algorithms with. In many programming languages, pre-
allocating an array of default values (such as 0s) is considered
common practice.

1.5 Selecting Elements

Problem
You need to select one or more elements in a vector or matrix.

Solution
NumPy’s arrays make it easy to select elements in vectors or
matrices:

# Load library
import numpy as np

# Create row vector

 vector = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6])

# Create matrix
matrix = np.array([[1, 2, 3],
[4, 5, 6],
[7, 8, 9]])

# Select third element of vector

vector[2]

# Select second row, second column

matrix[1,1]

Discussion
Like most things in Python, NumPy arrays are zero-indexed, meaning
that the index of the first element is 0, not 1. With that caveat,
NumPy offers a wide variety of methods for selecting (i.e., indexing
and slicing) elements or groups of elements in arrays:

# Select all elements of a vector

vector[:]

array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6])

# Select everything up to and including the third element

vector[:3]

array([1, 2, 3])

# Select everything after the third element

vector[3:]

array([4, 5, 6])
 # Select the last element
vector[-1]

# Reverse the vector

vector[::-1]

array([6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1])

# Select the first two rows and all columns of a matrix

matrix[:2,:]

array([[1, 2, 3],
[4, 5, 6]])

# Select all rows and the second column

matrix[:,1:2]

array([[2],
[5],
[8]])

1.6 Describing a Matrix

Problem
You want to describe the shape, size, and dimensions of the matrix.

Solution
Use the shape, size, and ndim attributes of a NumPy object:

# Load library
import numpy as np

# Create matrix
matrix = np.array([[1, 2, 3, 4],
[5, 6, 7, 8],
 [9, 10, 11, 12]])

# View number of rows and columns

matrix.shape

(3, 4)

# View number of elements (rows * columns)

matrix.size

12

# View number of dimensions

matrix.ndim

Discussion
This might seem basic (and it is); however, time and again it will be
valuable to check the shape and size of an array both for further
calculations and simply as a gut check after some operation.

1.7 Applying Functions Over Each Element

Problem
You want to apply some function to all elements in an array.

Solution
Use NumPy’s vectorize method:

# Load library
import numpy as np

# Create matrix
matrix = np.array([[1, 2, 3],
 [4, 5, 6],
[7, 8, 9]])

# Create function that adds 100 to something

add_100 = lambda i: i + 100

# Create vectorized function

vectorized_add_100 = np.vectorize(add_100)

# Apply function to all elements in matrix

vectorized_add_100(matrix)

array([[101, 102, 103],

[104, 105, 106],
[107, 108, 109]])

Discussion
NumPy’s vectorize class converts a function into a function that
can apply to all elements in an array or slice of an array. It’s worth
noting that vectorize is essentially a for loop over the elements
and does not increase performance. Furthermore, NumPy arrays
allow us to perform operations between arrays even if their
dimensions are not the same (a process called broadcasting). For
example, we can create a much simpler version of our solution using
broadcasting:

# Add 100 to all elements

matrix + 100

array([[101, 102, 103],

[104, 105, 106],
[107, 108, 109]])

of Mr Wymond’s, which, however, is worthy of consideration. The
question of railway credit and the desirability of doing away with

hints, general rules, and warnings more numerous and more
practical than any published until now.”

“The Reverend J. A. Zahm ... writes most persuasively of the
capabilities of women as the friends and advisers of men. He has
taken as examples of women who deserved this title the Roman
woman Paula and her gifted daughter, the virgin, Eustochium, who
were privileged to collaborate with Saint Jerome in his labors in
translating the Bible and providing copious commentaries thereon;
and also that Beatrice Portinari, whom Dante loved.” (R of Rs) An

ZAHM, JOHN AUGUSTINE (H. J. MOZANS, pseud.). Quest of El

Dorado; the most romantic episode in the history of South
American conquest. il *$1.50 (5c) Appleton 918 17-25280
Father Zahm is a South American explorer of note and author of
several books on that country. In this volume he goes back to early
history to tell the story of some of the expeditions that went in
quest “of that extraordinary will-o’-the-wisp, usually known as El
Dorado.” His study throws new light on the conquistadores,
showing that they were not moved solely by thirst for gold. He
says, “So marvelous were their achievements that, were they not
attested by the most unquestionable of documents, we should be
disposed to place the old chronicles which describe them in the
same category as the Arthurian romances.” The chapters were
written for the Pan-American Bulletin in 1912, and are reprinted
with a few changes and additions. A bibliography gives a list of the
principal works cited.

904 17-14064
This discourse formed the Conway memorial lecture, delivered at
South Place institute, London, on March 8, 1917. Mr Zangwill
argues that “neither identity of race, nor of language, nor of
religion, nor of territory, nor of interests, nor of culture, nor of
soul, is indispensable to a nationality,” but that it is “a state of
mind corresponding to a political fact.” He then, after classifying
the political varieties of nationality as simple, complex, compound
and hybrid, goes on to consider “the psychological aspect and
genesis of nationality.” He asserts that now that nationalism is
closing in upon the world, we should remember that “the real
needs of nationalities are not independence, but freedom from
oppression,” and that “internationalism, so far from being the
antithesis of nationalism, actually requires nations to interrelate.”
“An analysis of nationality that is sane and penetrating.”

“The book is written from the British viewpoint, and while the
author has included American practice he has of course not done
so with the first-hand knowledge of an American. ... The forty-four
chapters of the book are grouped under the heads of ‘Continuous
handling of material,’ ‘Continuous handling of material by
Pneumatic or hydraulic means,’ ‘Intermittent handling of material,’
‘Unloading and loading appliances,’ ‘Miscellaneous installations’ and
the ‘Automatic weighing of material’. Eighteen chapters under the
first two groups cover all kinds of conveyors. Cableways and
telphers are included in the third group.”—Engin News-Rec

“The facts that the field of engineering which this bulky treatise
covers has had an enormous development in the past quarter
century, and that comparatively little on the subject has been
published, are the principal justifications for the purchase of the
book by American engineers. ... The illustrations and other
mechanical work are hardly up to the standard of the price of the
