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

在Python 2.7(或更新版本)中,可以使用集合。计数器:

>>> import collections
>>> a = [5, 1, 2, 2, 4, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 1, 5, 2]
>>> counter = collections.Counter(a)
>>> counter
Counter({1: 4, 2: 4, 5: 2, 3: 2, 4: 1})
>>> counter.values()
dict_values([2, 4, 4, 1, 2])
>>> counter.keys()
dict_keys([5, 1, 2, 4, 3])
>>> counter.most_common(3)
[(1, 4), (2, 4), (5, 2)]
>>> dict(counter)
{5: 2, 1: 4, 2: 4, 4: 1, 3: 2}
>>> # Get the counts in order matching the original specification,
>>> # by iterating over keys in sorted order
>>> [counter[x] for x in sorted(counter.keys())]
[4, 4, 2, 1, 2]

如果您使用的是Python 2.6或更老版本,可以在这里下载实现。

我找到了另一种方法,使用集合。

#ar is the list of elements
#convert ar to set to get unique elements
sock_set = set(ar)

#create dictionary of frequency of socks
sock_dict = {}

for sock in sock_set:
    sock_dict[sock] = ar.count(sock)
str1='the cat sat on the hat hat'
list1=str1.split();
list2=str1.split();

count=0;
m=[];

for i in range(len(list1)):
    t=list1.pop(0);
    print t
    for j in range(len(list2)):
        if(t==list2[j]):
            count=count+1;
            print count
    m.append(count)
    print m
    count=0;
#print m

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])

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}

你可以这样做:

import numpy as np
a = [1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,3,4,5,5]
np.unique(a, return_counts=True)

输出:

(array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]), array([4, 4, 2, 1, 2], dtype=int64))

第一个数组是值,第二个数组是具有这些值的元素的数量。

所以如果你想要得到一个数字数组,你应该使用这个:

np.unique(a, return_counts=True)[1]
