SparseVector

class pyspark.ml.linalg.SparseVector(size, *args)

A simple sparse vector class for passing data to MLlib. Users may alternatively pass SciPy’s {scipy.sparse} data types.

Methods

dot(other)	Dot product with a SparseVector or 1- or 2-dimensional Numpy array.
norm(p)	Calculates the norm of a SparseVector.
numNonzeros()	Number of nonzero elements.
squared_distance(other)	Squared distance from a SparseVector or 1-dimensional NumPy array.
toArray()	Returns a copy of this SparseVector as a 1-dimensional numpy.ndarray.

Attributes

size	Size of the vector.
indices	A list of indices corresponding to active entries.
values	A list of values corresponding to active entries.

Methods Documentation

dot(other)

Dot product with a SparseVector or 1- or 2-dimensional Numpy array.

Examples

>>> a = SparseVector(4, [1, 3], [3.0, 4.0])
>>> a.dot(a)
25.0
>>> a.dot(array.array('d', [1., 2., 3., 4.]))
22.0
>>> b = SparseVector(4, [2], [1.0])
>>> a.dot(b)
0.0
>>> a.dot(np.array([[1, 1], [2, 2], [3, 3], [4, 4]]))
array([ 22.,  22.])
>>> a.dot([1., 2., 3.])
Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
AssertionError: dimension mismatch
>>> a.dot(np.array([1., 2.]))
Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
AssertionError: dimension mismatch
>>> a.dot(DenseVector([1., 2.]))
Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
AssertionError: dimension mismatch
>>> a.dot(np.zeros((3, 2)))
Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
AssertionError: dimension mismatch

norm(p)

Calculates the norm of a SparseVector.

Examples

>>> a = SparseVector(4, [0, 1], [3., -4.])
>>> a.norm(1)
7.0
>>> a.norm(2)
5.0

numNonzeros()

Number of nonzero elements. This scans all active values and count non zeros.

squared_distance(other)

Squared distance from a SparseVector or 1-dimensional NumPy array.

Examples

>>> a = SparseVector(4, [1, 3], [3.0, 4.0])
>>> a.squared_distance(a)
0.0
>>> a.squared_distance(array.array('d', [1., 2., 3., 4.]))
11.0
>>> a.squared_distance(np.array([1., 2., 3., 4.]))
11.0
>>> b = SparseVector(4, [2], [1.0])
>>> a.squared_distance(b)
26.0
>>> b.squared_distance(a)
26.0
>>> b.squared_distance([1., 2.])
Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
AssertionError: dimension mismatch
>>> b.squared_distance(SparseVector(3, [1,], [1.0,]))
Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
AssertionError: dimension mismatch

toArray()

Returns a copy of this SparseVector as a 1-dimensional numpy.ndarray.

Attributes Documentation
