GroupedArray

GroupedArray(data, indptr)
Array made up of different groups. Can be thought of (and iterated) as a list of arrays. All the data is stored in a single 1d array data. The indices for the group boundaries are stored in another 1d array indptr.

​
GroupedArray.append

append(new_data)
Appends each element of new_data to each existing group. Returns a copy.

​
GroupedArray.append_several

append_several(new_sizes, new_values, new_groups)

​
GroupedArray.apply_multithreaded_transforms

apply_multithreaded_transforms(transforms, num_threads, updates_only=False)
Apply the transformations using multithreading. If updates_only then only the updates are returned.

​
GroupedArray.apply_transforms

apply_transforms(transforms, updates_only=False)
Apply the transformations using the main process. If updates_only then only the updates are returned.

​
GroupedArray.data

data = data

​
GroupedArray.expand_target

expand_target(max_horizon)

​
GroupedArray.indptr

indptr = indptr

​
GroupedArray.n_groups

n_groups = len(indptr) - 1

​
GroupedArray.take

take(idxs)

​
GroupedArray.take_from_groups

take_from_groups(idx)
Takes idx from each group in the array.
