scipy.sparse.identity¶
- scipy.sparse.identity(n, dtype='d', format=None)[source]¶
Identity matrix in sparse format
Returns an identity matrix with shape (n,n) using a given sparse format and dtype.
Parameters: n : int
Shape of the identity matrix.
dtype : dtype, optional
Data type of the matrix
format : str, optional
Sparse format of the result, e.g. format=”csr”, etc.
Examples
>>> identity(3).toarray() array([[ 1., 0., 0.], [ 0., 1., 0.], [ 0., 0., 1.]]) >>> identity(3, dtype='int8', format='dia') <3x3 sparse matrix of type '<type 'numpy.int8'>' with 3 stored elements (1 diagonals) in DIAgonal format>
