Is there a standard Haskell equivalent of the NumPy function argsort?
I am using HMatrix and, therefore, would like a function compatible with Vector R, which is an alias for Data.Vector.Storable.Vector Double. The function below argsortis the implementation that I am currently using:
{-
module Main where
import qualified Data.List as L
import qualified Data.Vector as V
import qualified Data.Vector.Storable as VS
import Prelude (($), Double, IO, Int, compare, print, snd)
a :: VS.Vector Double
a = VS.fromList [40.0, 20.0, 10.0, 11.0]
argSort :: VS.Vector Double -> V.Vector Int
argSort xs = V.fromList (L.map snd $ L.sortBy (\(x0, _) (x1, _) -> compare x0 x1) (L.zip (VS.toList xs) [0..]))
main :: IO ()
main = print $ argSort a -- yields [2,3,1,0]
I use an explicitly qualified importone to make it clear where all the types and functions come from.
This implementation is not very efficient, because it converts the input vector to a list, and the result returns to the vector. Does something like this (but more efficient) exist somewhere?
Update
@leftaroundabout has a good solution. This is the solution I came across:
module LAUtil.Sorting
( IndexVector
, argSort
)
where
import Control.Monad
import Control.Monad.ST
import Data.Ord
import qualified Data.Vector.Algorithms.Intro as VAI
import qualified Data.Vector.Storable as VS
import qualified Data.Vector.Unboxed as VU
import qualified Data.Vector.Unboxed.Mutable as VUM
import Numeric.LinearAlgebra
type IndexVector = VU.Vector Int
argSort :: Vector R -> IndexVector
argSort xs = runST $ do
let l = VS.length xs
t0 <- VUM.new l
forM_ [0..l - 1] $
\i -> VUM.unsafeWrite t0 i (i, (VS.!) xs i)
VAI.sortBy (comparing snd) t0
t1 <- VUM.new l
forM_ [0..l - 1] $
\i -> VUM.unsafeRead t0 i >>= \(x, _) -> VUM.unsafeWrite t1 i x
VU.freeze t1
Numeric.LinearAlgebra, Storable. unboxed .
