我需要写一个加权版的random。选择(列表中的每个元素有不同的被选择的概率)。这是我想到的:
def weightedChoice(choices):
"""Like random.choice, but each element can have a different chance of
being selected.
choices can be any iterable containing iterables with two items each.
Technically, they can have more than two items, the rest will just be
ignored. The first item is the thing being chosen, the second item is
its weight. The weights can be any numeric values, what matters is the
relative differences between them.
"""
space = {}
current = 0
for choice, weight in choices:
if weight > 0:
space[current] = choice
current += weight
rand = random.uniform(0, current)
for key in sorted(space.keys() + [current]):
if rand < key:
return choice
choice = space[key]
return None
这个函数对我来说太复杂了，而且很丑。我希望这里的每个人都能提供一些改进的建议或其他方法。对我来说，效率没有代码的整洁和可读性重要。
如果你有一个加权字典而不是一个列表，你可以这样写
items = { "a": 10, "b": 5, "c": 1 }
random.choice([k for k in items for dummy in range(items[k])])
注意(k, k范围的虚拟物品(物品[k])]产生这个列表(' a ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' c ', ' b ', ' b ', ' b ', ' b ', ' b ']
我需要做这样的事情非常快速非常简单，从搜索的想法，我终于建立了这个模板。其思想是以json的形式从api接收加权值，这里是由dict模拟的。
然后将其转换为一个列表，其中每个值都与它的权重成比例地重复，只需使用random。选择从列表中选择一个值。
我尝试了10次、100次和1000次迭代。分布似乎很稳定。
def weighted_choice(weighted_dict):
"""Input example: dict(apples=60, oranges=30, pineapples=10)"""
weight_list = []
for key in weighted_dict.keys():
weight_list += [key] * weighted_dict[key]
return random.choice(weight_list)
下面是Python 3.6标准库中包含的版本:
import itertools as _itertools
import bisect as _bisect
class Random36(random.Random):
"Show the code included in the Python 3.6 version of the Random class"
def choices(self, population, weights=None, *, cum_weights=None, k=1):
"""Return a k sized list of population elements chosen with replacement.
If the relative weights or cumulative weights are not specified,
the selections are made with equal probability.
"""
random = self.random
if cum_weights is None:
if weights is None:
_int = int
total = len(population)
return [population[_int(random() * total)] for i in range(k)]
cum_weights = list(_itertools.accumulate(weights))
elif weights is not None:
raise TypeError('Cannot specify both weights and cumulative weights')
if len(cum_weights) != len(population):
raise ValueError('The number of weights does not match the population')
bisect = _bisect.bisect
total = cum_weights[-1]
return [population[bisect(cum_weights, random() * total)] for i in range(k)]
