scipy.sparse.dok_matrix

class scipy.sparse.dok_matrix(arg1, shape=None, dtype=None, copy=False)

Dictionary Of Keys based sparse matrix.

This is an efficient structure for constructing sparse matrices incrementally.

This can be instantiated in several ways:

dok_matrix(D)

with a dense matrix, D

dok_matrix(S)

with a sparse matrix, S

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

create the matrix with initial shape (M,N) dtype is optional, defaulting to dtype=’d’

Notes

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

Allows for efficient O(1) access of individual elements. Duplicates are not allowed. Can be efficiently converted to a coo_matrix once constructed.

Examples

>>> from scipy.sparse import *
>>> from scipy import *
>>> S = dok_matrix((5,5), dtype=float32)
>>> for i in range(5):
>>>     for j in range(5):
>>>         S[i,j] = i+j # Update element

Attributes

dtype	(dtype) Data type of the matrix
shape	(2-tuple) Shape of the matrix
ndim	(int) Number of dimensions (this is always 2)
nnz	Number of nonzero elements

Methods

asformat(format)	Return this matrix in a given sparse format

conj()
conjtransp()	Return the conjugate transpose
conjugate()
