scipy.sparse.csr_matrix

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

Compressed Sparse Row matrix

This can be instantiated in several ways:

csr_matrix(D)

with a dense matrix or rank-2 ndarray D

csr_matrix(S)

with another sparse matrix S (equivalent to S.tocsr())

csr_matrix((M, N), [dtype])

to construct an empty matrix with shape (M, N) dtype is optional, defaulting to dtype=’d’.

csr_matrix((data, (row_ind, col_ind)), [shape=(M, N)])

where data, row_ind and col_ind satisfy the relationship a[row_ind[k], col_ind[k]] = data[k].

csr_matrix((data, indices, indptr), [shape=(M, N)])

is the standard CSR representation where the column indices for row i are stored in indices[indptr[i]:indptr[i+1]] and their corresponding values are stored in data[indptr[i]:indptr[i+1]]. If the shape parameter is not supplied, the matrix dimensions are inferred from the index arrays.

Notes

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

Advantages of the CSR format

    efficient arithmetic operations CSR + CSR, CSR * CSR, etc.
    efficient row slicing
    fast matrix vector products

Disadvantages of the CSR format

    slow column slicing operations (consider CSC)
    changes to the sparsity structure are expensive (consider LIL or DOK)

Examples

>>> import numpy as np
>>> from scipy.sparse import csr_matrix
>>> csr_matrix((3, 4), dtype=np.int8).toarray()
array([[0, 0, 0, 0],
       [0, 0, 0, 0],
       [0, 0, 0, 0]], dtype=int8)

>>>

>>> row = np.array([0, 0, 1, 2, 2, 2])
>>> col = np.array([0, 2, 2, 0, 1, 2])
>>> data = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6])
>>> csr_matrix((data, (row, col)), shape=(3, 3)).toarray()
array([[1, 0, 2],
       [0, 0, 3],
       [4, 5, 6]])

>>>

>>> indptr = np.array([0, 2, 3, 6])
>>> indices = np.array([0, 2, 2, 0, 1, 2])
>>> data = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6])
>>> csr_matrix((data, indices, indptr), shape=(3, 3)).toarray()
array([[1, 0, 2],
       [0, 0, 3],
       [4, 5, 6]])

As an example of how to construct a CSR matrix incrementally, the following snippet builds a term-document matrix from texts:

>>> docs = [["hello", "world", "hello"], ["goodbye", "cruel", "world"]]
>>> indptr = [0]
>>> indices = []
>>> data = []
>>> vocabulary = {}
>>> for d in docs:
...     for term in d:
...         index = vocabulary.setdefault(term, len(vocabulary))
...         indices.append(index)
...         data.append(1)
...     indptr.append(len(indices))
...
>>> csr_matrix((data, indices, indptr), dtype=int).toarray()
array([[2, 1, 0, 0],
       [0, 1, 1, 1]])
