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

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)

其他回答

这个答案更加明确

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

d = {}
for item in a:
    if item in d:
        d[item] = d.get(item)+1
    else:
        d[item] = 1

for k,v in d.items():
    print(str(k)+':'+str(v))

# output
#1:4
#2:4
#3:3
#4:2

#remove dups
d = set(a)
print(d)
#{1, 2, 3, 4}

如果列表是排序的,你可以使用itertools标准库中的groupby(如果不是,你可以先排序,尽管这需要O(nlgn)时间):

from itertools import groupby

a = [5, 1, 2, 2, 4, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 1, 5, 2]
[len(list(group)) for key, group in groupby(sorted(a))]

输出:

[4, 4, 2, 1, 2]

通过遍历列表并计算它们,手动计算出现的数量,使用collections.defaultdict跟踪到目前为止看到的内容:

from collections import defaultdict

appearances = defaultdict(int)

for curr in a:
    appearances[curr] += 1

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。

from collections import Counter
a=["E","D","C","G","B","A","B","F","D","D","C","A","G","A","C","B","F","C","B"]

counter=Counter(a)

kk=[list(counter.keys()),list(counter.values())]

pd.DataFrame(np.array(kk).T, columns=['Letter','Count'])
