Numpy concatenate 2D arrays with 1D array

Question

I am trying to concatenate 4 arrays, one 1D array of shape (78427,) and 3 2D array of shape (78427, 375/81/103). Basically this are 4 arrays with features for 78427 images, in which the 1D array only has 1 value for each image.

I tried concatenating the arrays as follows:

>>> print X_Cscores.shape
(78427, 375)
>>> print X_Mscores.shape
(78427, 81)
>>> print X_Tscores.shape
(78427, 103)
>>> print X_Yscores.shape
(78427,)
>>> np.concatenate((X_Cscores, X_Mscores, X_Tscores, X_Yscores), axis=1)

This results in the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 1, in
ValueError: all the input arrays must have same number of dimensions

The problem seems to be the 1D array, but I can’t really see why (it also has 78427 values). I tried to transpose the 1D array before concatenating it, but that also didn’t work.

Any help on what’s the right method to concatenate these arrays would be appreciated!

Answer 1

Try concatenating X_Yscores[:, None] (or X_Yscores[:, np.newaxis] as imaluengo suggests). This creates a 2D array out of a 1D array.

Example:

A = np.array([1, 2, 3])
print A.shape
print A[:, None].shape

Output:

(3,)
(3,1)

I am not sure if you want something like:

a = np.array( [ [1,2],[3,4] ] )
b = np.array( [ 5,6 ] )

c = a.ravel()
con = np.concatenate( (c,b ) )

array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6])

OR

np.column_stack( (a,b) )

array([[1, 2, 5],
       [3, 4, 6]])

np.row_stack( (a,b) )

array([[1, 2],
       [3, 4],
       [5, 6]])

Answer 3

You can try this one-liner:

concat = numpy.hstack([a.reshape(dim,-1) for a in [Cscores, Mscores, Tscores, Yscores]])

The “secret” here is to reshape using the known, common dimension in one axis, and -1 for the other, and it automatically matches the size (creating a new axis if needed).
