numpy.ma.choose — NumPy v1.15 Manual (original) (raw)

numpy.ma. choose(indices, choices, out=None, mode='raise')[source]¶

Use an index array to construct a new array from a set of choices.

Given an array of integers and a set of n choice arrays, this method will create a new array that merges each of the choice arrays. Where a value in a is i, the new array will have the value that choices[i] contains in the same place.

Parameters:	a : ndarray of ints This array must contain integers in [0, n-1], where n is the number of choices. choices : sequence of arrays Choice arrays. The index array and all of the choices should be broadcastable to the same shape. out : array, optional If provided, the result will be inserted into this array. It should be of the appropriate shape and dtype. mode : {‘raise’, ‘wrap’, ‘clip’}, optional Specifies how out-of-bounds indices will behave. ‘raise’ : raise an error ‘wrap’ : wrap around ‘clip’ : clip to the range
Returns:	merged_array : array

Parameters:

a : ndarray of ints This array must contain integers in [0, n-1], where n is the number of choices. choices : sequence of arrays Choice arrays. The index array and all of the choices should be broadcastable to the same shape. out : array, optional If provided, the result will be inserted into this array. It should be of the appropriate shape and dtype. mode : {‘raise’, ‘wrap’, ‘clip’}, optional Specifies how out-of-bounds indices will behave. ‘raise’ : raise an error ‘wrap’ : wrap around ‘clip’ : clip to the range

Returns:

merged_array : array
