Transform a masked array into a flexibletype array in Numpy
To transform a masked array into a flexible-type array, use the ma.MaskedArray.toflex() method in Numpy. The flexible type array that is returned will have two fields: the _data field stores the _data part of the array.
The method returns a new flexible-type ndarray with two fields: the first element containing a value, the second element containing the corresponding mask boolean. The returned record shape matches self.shape.
A masked array is the combination of a standard numpy.ndarray and a mask. A mask is either nomask, indicating that no value of the associated array is invalid, or an array of booleans that determines for each element of the associated array whether the value is valid or not.
Steps
At first, import the required library −
import numpy as np import numpy.ma as ma
Create an array with int elements using the numpy.array() method −
arr = np.array([[49, 85, 45], [67, 33, 59]])
print("Array...
", arr)
print("
Array type...
", arr.dtype)Get the dimensions of the Array −
print("Array Dimensions...
",arr.ndim)
Create a masked array and mask some of them as invalid −
maskArr = ma.masked_array(arr, mask =[[0, 0, 1], [ 0, 1, 0]])
print("
Our Masked Array
", maskArr)
print("
Our Masked Array type...
", maskArr.dtype)Get the dimensions of the Masked Array −
print("
Our Masked Array Dimensions...
",maskArr.ndim)
Get the shape of the Masked Array −
print("
Our Masked Array Shape...
",maskArr.shape)Get the number of elements of the Masked Array −
print("
Elements in the Masked Array...
",maskArr.size)
Transform a masked array into a flexible-type array, use the ma.MaskedArray.toflex() method in Numpy. The flexible type array that is returned will have two fields: the _data field stores the _data part of the array −
print("
Result of the transformation...
",maskArr.toflex())Example
# Python ma.MaskedArray - Transform a masked array into a flexibletype array
import numpy as np
import numpy.ma as ma
# Create an array with int elements using the numpy.array() method
arr = np.array([[49, 85, 45], [67, 33, 59]])
print("Array...
", arr)
print("
Array type...
", arr.dtype)
# Get the dimensions of the Array
print("
Array Dimensions...
",arr.ndim)
# Create a masked array and mask some of them as invalid
maskArr = ma.masked_array(arr, mask =[[0, 0, 1], [ 0, 1, 0]])
print("
Our Masked Array
", maskArr)
print("
Our Masked Array type...
", maskArr.dtype)
# Get the dimensions of the Masked Array
print("
Our Masked Array Dimensions...
",maskArr.ndim)
# Get the shape of the Masked Array
print("
Our Masked Array Shape...
",maskArr.shape)
# Get the number of elements of the Masked Array
print("
Elements in the Masked Array...
",maskArr.size)
# To transform a masked array into a flexible-type array, use the ma.MaskedArray.toflex() method in Numpy
# The flexible type array that is returned will have two fields: the _data field stores the _data part of the array.
#, the _mask field stores the _mask part of the array.
print("
Result of the transformation...
",maskArr.toflex())Output
Array... [[49 85 45] [67 33 59]] Array type... int64 Array Dimensions... 2 Our Masked Array [[49 85 --] [67 -- 59]] Our Masked Array type... int64 Our Masked Array Dimensions... 2 Our Masked Array Shape... (2, 3) Elements in the Masked Array... 6 Result of the transformation... [[(49, False) (85, False) (45, True)] [(67, False) (33, True) (59, False)]]
