scipy.sparse.coo_array#

class scipy.sparse.coo_array(arg1, shape=None, dtype=None, copy=False)[source]#

A sparse array in COOrdinate format.

Also known as the ‘ijv’ or ‘triplet’ format.

This can be instantiated in several ways:
coo_array(D)

where D is an ndarray

coo_array(S)

with another sparse array or matrix S (equivalent to S.tocoo())

coo_array(shape, [dtype])

to construct an empty sparse array with shape shape dtype is optional, defaulting to dtype=’d’.

coo_array((data, coords), [shape])
to construct from existing data and index arrays:

  1. data[:] the entries of the sparse array, in any order

  2. coords[i][:] the axis-i coordinates of the data entries

Where A[coords] = data, and coords is a tuple of index arrays. When shape is not specified, it is inferred from the index arrays.

Notes

Sparse arrays can be used in arithmetic operations: they support addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and matrix power.

Advantages of the COO format

  • facilitates fast conversion among sparse formats

  • permits duplicate entries (see example)

  • very fast conversion to and from CSR/CSC formats

Disadvantages of the COO format
  • does not directly support:

    • arithmetic operations

    • slicing

Intended Usage

  • COO is a fast format for constructing sparse arrays

  • Once a COO array has been constructed, convert to CSR or CSC format for fast arithmetic and matrix vector operations

  • By default when converting to CSR or CSC format, duplicate (i,j) entries will be summed together. This facilitates efficient construction of finite element matrices and the like. (see example)

Canonical format

  • Entries and coordinates sorted by row, then column.

  • There are no duplicate entries (i.e. duplicate (i,j) locations)

  • Data arrays MAY have explicit zeros.

Examples

>>> # Constructing an empty sparse array
>>> import numpy as np
>>> from scipy.sparse import coo_array
>>> coo_array((3, 4), dtype=np.int8).toarray()
array([[0, 0, 0, 0],
       [0, 0, 0, 0],
       [0, 0, 0, 0]], dtype=int8)

>>> # Constructing a sparse array using ijv format
>>> row  = np.array([0, 3, 1, 0])
>>> col  = np.array([0, 3, 1, 2])
>>> data = np.array([4, 5, 7, 9])
>>> coo_array((data, (row, col)), shape=(4, 4)).toarray()
array([[4, 0, 9, 0],
       [0, 7, 0, 0],
       [0, 0, 0, 0],
       [0, 0, 0, 5]])

>>> # Constructing a sparse array with duplicate coordinates
>>> row  = np.array([0, 0, 1, 3, 1, 0, 0])
>>> col  = np.array([0, 2, 1, 3, 1, 0, 0])
>>> data = np.array([1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1])
>>> coo = coo_array((data, (row, col)), shape=(4, 4))
>>> # Duplicate coordinates are maintained until implicitly or explicitly summed
>>> np.max(coo.data)
1
>>> coo.toarray()
array([[3, 0, 1, 0],
       [0, 2, 0, 0],
       [0, 0, 0, 0],
       [0, 0, 0, 1]])
