找到Python列表中最常见元素的有效方法是什么?

我的列表项可能不是可哈希的,所以不能使用字典。 同样,在抽取的情况下,应返回索引最低的项。例子:

>>> most_common(['duck', 'duck', 'goose'])
'duck'
>>> most_common(['goose', 'duck', 'duck', 'goose'])
'goose'

ans  = [1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1]
all_ans = {ans.count(ans[i]): ans[i] for i in range(len(ans))}
print(all_ans)
all_ans={4: 1, 2: 0}
max_key = max(all_ans.keys())

4

print(all_ans[max_key])

1

如果没有最低索引的要求,您可以使用集合。计数器:

from collections import Counter

a = [1936, 2401, 2916, 4761, 9216, 9216, 9604, 9801] 

c = Counter(a)

print(c.most_common(1)) # the one most common element... 2 would mean the 2 most common
[(9216, 2)] # a set containing the element, and it's count in 'a'

一行程序:

def most_common (lst):
    return max(((item, lst.count(item)) for item in set(lst)), key=lambda a: a[1])[0]
def most_frequent(List):

    counter = 0

    num = List[0]

 

    for i in List:

        curr_frequency = List.count(i)

        if(curr_frequency> counter):

            counter = curr_frequency

            num = i


    return num


List = [2, 1, 2, 2, 1, 3]

print(most_frequent(List))

如果排序和哈希都不可行,这是一个明显的缓慢的解决方案(O(n²)),但相等比较(==)可用:

def most_common(items):
  if not items:
    raise ValueError
  fitems = [] 
  best_idx = 0
  for item in items:   
    item_missing = True
    i = 0
    for fitem in fitems:  
      if fitem[0] == item:
        fitem[1] += 1
        d = fitem[1] - fitems[best_idx][1]
        if d > 0 or (d == 0 and fitems[best_idx][2] > fitem[2]):
          best_idx = i
        item_missing = False
        break
      i += 1
    if item_missing:
      fitems.append([item, 1, i])
  return items[best_idx]

但是,如果你的列表(n)的长度很大,那么让你的项目可哈希或可排序(正如其他答案所建议的那样)几乎总是能更快地找到最常见的元素。哈希时平均为O(n),排序时最差为O(n*log(n))。

简单的一行解决方案

moc= max([(lst.count(chr),chr) for chr in set(lst)])

它会返回频率最高的元素。
