如果你碰巧在使用一个多维数组，那么你需要平展和解开索引:

def largest_indices(ary, n):
    """Returns the n largest indices from a numpy array."""
    flat = ary.flatten()
    indices = np.argpartition(flat, -n)[-n:]
    indices = indices[np.argsort(-flat[indices])]
    return np.unravel_index(indices, ary.shape)

例如:

>>> xs = np.sin(np.arange(9)).reshape((3, 3))
>>> xs
array([[ 0.        ,  0.84147098,  0.90929743],
       [ 0.14112001, -0.7568025 , -0.95892427],
       [-0.2794155 ,  0.6569866 ,  0.98935825]])
>>> largest_indices(xs, 3)
(array([2, 0, 0]), array([2, 2, 1]))
>>> xs[largest_indices(xs, 3)]
array([ 0.98935825,  0.90929743,  0.84147098])

我发现最直观的方法是使用np.unique。

其思想是，唯一方法返回输入值的索引。然后根据最大唯一值和索引，重新创建原始值的位置。

multi_max = [1,1,2,2,4,0,0,4]
uniques, idx = np.unique(multi_max, return_inverse=True)
print np.squeeze(np.argwhere(idx == np.argmax(uniques)))
>> [4 7]

下面是查看最大元素及其位置的一个非常简单的方法。这里轴是定义域;对于2D情况，axis = 0表示列的最大数量，axis = 1表示行的最大数量。对于高维，这取决于你。

M = np.random.random((3, 4))
print(M)
print(M.max(axis=1), M.argmax(axis=1))

这段代码适用于numpy 2D矩阵数组:

mat = np.array([[1, 3], [2, 5]]) # numpy matrix
 
n = 2  # n
n_largest_mat = np.sort(mat, axis=None)[-n:] # n_largest 
tf_n_largest = np.zeros((2,2), dtype=bool) # all false matrix
for x in n_largest_mat: 
  tf_n_largest = (tf_n_largest) | (mat == x) # true-false  

n_largest_elems = mat[tf_n_largest] # true-false indexing 

这将产生一个true-false的n_maximum矩阵索引，也可以从矩阵数组中提取n_maximum元素

对于多维数组，可以使用axis关键字，以便沿着预期的轴应用分区。

# For a 2D array
indices = np.argpartition(arr, -N, axis=1)[:, -N:]

对于抓取物品:

x = arr.shape[0]
arr[np.repeat(np.arange(x), N), indices.ravel()].reshape(x, N)

但请注意，这不会返回一个排序的结果。在这种情况下，你可以沿着预期的轴使用np.argsort():

indices = np.argsort(arr, axis=1)[:, -N:]

# Result
x = arr.shape[0]
arr[np.repeat(np.arange(x), N), indices.ravel()].reshape(x, N)

这里有一个例子:

In [42]: a = np.random.randint(0, 20, (10, 10))
