Group and average NumPy matrix

Question

Say I have an arbitrary numpy matrix that looks like this:

arr = [[  6.0   12.0   1.0]
       [  7.0   9.0   1.0]
       [  8.0   7.0   1.0]
       [  4.0   3.0          


        

Answer 1

solution

from itertools import groupby
from operator import itemgetter

arr = [[6.0, 12.0, 1.0],
       [7.0, 9.0, 1.0],
       [8.0, 7.0, 1.0],
       [4.0, 3.0, 2.0],
       [6.0, 1.0, 2.0],
       [2.0, 5.0, 2.0],
       [9.0, 4.0, 3.0],
       [2.0, 1.0, 4.0],
       [8.0, 4.0, 4.0],
       [3.0, 5.0, 4.0]]

result = []

for groupByID, rows in groupby(arr, key=itemgetter(2)):
    position1, position2, counter = 0, 0, 0
    for row in rows:
        position1+=row[0]
        position2+=row[1]
        counter+=1
    result.append([position1/counter, position2/counter, groupByID])

print(result)

would output:

[[7.0, 9.333333333333334, 1.0]]
[[4.0, 3.0, 2.0]]
[[9.0, 4.0, 3.0]]
[[4.333333333333333, 3.3333333333333335, 4.0]]
