scipy.sparse.coo_matrix

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

A sparse matrix in COOrdinate format.

Also known as the ‘ijv’ or ‘triplet’ format.

This can be instantiated in several ways:

coo_matrix(D)

with a dense matrix D

coo_matrix(S)

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

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

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

coo_matrix((data, (i, j)), [shape=(M, N)])

to construct from three arrays:

1. data[:] the entries of the matrix, in any order

2. i[:] the row indices of the matrix entries

3. j[:] the column indices of the matrix entries

Where A[i[k], j[k]] = data[k]. When shape is not specified, it is 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 COO format

• facilitates fast conversion among sparse formats

• permits duplicate entries (see example)

• very fast conversion to and from CSR/CSC formats

Disadvantages of the COO format

• does not directly support:

  • arithmetic operations

  • slicing

Intended Usage

• COO is a fast format for constructing sparse matrices

• Once a matrix has been constructed, convert to CSR or CSC format for fast arithmetic and matrix vector operations

• By default when converting to CSR or CSC format, duplicate (i,j) entries will be summed together. This facilitates efficient construction of finite element matrices and the like. (see example)

Examples

>>> # Constructing an empty matrix
>>> from scipy.sparse import coo_matrix
>>> coo_matrix((3, 4), dtype=np.int8).toarray()
array([[0, 0, 0, 0],
       [0, 0, 0, 0],
       [0, 0, 0, 0]], dtype=int8)

>>> # Constructing a matrix using ijv format
>>> row  = np.array([0, 3, 1, 0])
>>> col  = np.array([0, 3, 1, 2])
>>> data = np.array([4, 5, 7, 9])
>>> coo_matrix((data, (row, col)), shape=(4, 4)).toarray()
array([[4, 0, 9, 0],
       [0, 7, 0, 0],
       [0, 0, 0, 0],
       [0, 0, 0, 5]])

>>> # Constructing a matrix with duplicate indices
>>> row  = np.array([0, 0, 1, 3, 1, 0, 0])
>>> col  = np.array([0, 2, 1, 3, 1, 0, 0])
>>> data = np.array([1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1])
>>> coo = coo_matrix((data, (row, col)), shape=(4, 4))
>>> # Duplicate indices are maintained until implicitly or explicitly summed
>>> np.max(coo.data)
1
>>> coo.toarray()
array([[3, 0, 1, 0],
       [0, 2, 0, 0],
       [0, 0, 0, 0],
       [0, 0, 0, 1]])
