给定一个无序的值列表,比如

a = [5, 1, 2, 2, 4, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 1, 5, 2]

我怎样才能得到出现在列表中的每个值的频率,就像这样?

# `a` has 4 instances of `1`, 4 of `2`, 2 of `3`, 1 of `4,` 2 of `5`
b = [4, 4, 2, 1, 2] # expected output

当前回答

def frequencyDistribution(data):
    return {i: data.count(i) for i in data}   

print frequencyDistribution([1,2,3,4])

...

 {1: 1, 2: 1, 3: 1, 4: 1}   # originalNumber: count

还有另一种不使用集合的算法解决方案:

def countFreq(A):
   n=len(A)
   count=[0]*n                     # Create a new list initialized with '0'
   for i in range(n):
      count[A[i]]+= 1              # increase occurrence for value A[i]
   return [x for x in count if x]  # return non-zero count

下面是使用itertools的另一个简洁的替代方案。Groupby也适用于无序输入:

from itertools import groupby

items = [5, 1, 1, 2, 2, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 3, 5]

results = {value: len(list(freq)) for value, freq in groupby(sorted(items))}

结果

format: {value: num_of_occurencies}
{1: 4, 2: 4, 3: 2, 4: 1, 5: 2}

我将简单地以以下方式使用scipy.stats.itemfreq:

from scipy.stats import itemfreq

a = [1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,3,4,5,5]

freq = itemfreq(a)

a = freq[:,0]
b = freq[:,1]

我使用计数器在1行代码中从文本文件单词生成一个frequency . dict

def _fileIndex(fh):
''' create a dict using Counter of a
flat list of words (re.findall(re.compile(r"[a-zA-Z]+"), lines)) in (lines in file->for lines in fh)
'''
return Counter(
    [wrd.lower() for wrdList in
     [words for words in
      [re.findall(re.compile(r'[a-zA-Z]+'), lines) for lines in fh]]
     for wrd in wrdList])

计算元素的频率可能最好使用字典:

b = {}
for item in a:
    b[item] = b.get(item, 0) + 1

要删除重复项,请使用set:

a = list(set(a))
