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

较新的NumPy版本(1.8及以上)有一个名为argpartition的函数。要得到四个最大元素的索引，请执行以下操作

>>> a = np.array([9, 4, 4, 3, 3, 9, 0, 4, 6, 0])
>>> a
array([9, 4, 4, 3, 3, 9, 0, 4, 6, 0])

>>> ind = np.argpartition(a, -4)[-4:]
>>> ind
array([1, 5, 8, 0])

>>> top4 = a[ind]
>>> top4
array([4, 9, 6, 9])

与argsort不同，这个函数在最坏的情况下以线性时间运行，但返回的索引没有排序，这可以从求值a[ind]的结果中看出。如果你也需要，那就把它们分类:

>>> ind[np.argsort(a[ind])]
array([1, 8, 5, 0])

以这种方式获得排在前k位的元素需要O(n + k log k)时间。

比较了编码的便捷性和速度

速度对我的需求很重要，所以我测试了这个问题的三个答案。

根据我的具体情况，对这三个答案中的代码进行了修改。

然后我比较了每种方法的速度。

编码智慧:

NPE的回答是最优雅的，也足够快地满足我的需求。 Fred foo的回答需要最多的重构来满足我的需求，但却是最快的。我选择了这个答案，因为尽管它需要更多的工作，但它并不太糟糕，并且具有显著的速度优势。 Off99555的回答是最优雅的，但也是最慢的。

您可以简单地使用字典来查找numpy数组中的前k个值和下标。 例如，如果你想找到前2个最大值和索引

import numpy as np
nums = np.array([0.2, 0.3, 0.25, 0.15, 0.1])


def TopK(x, k):
    a = dict([(i, j) for i, j in enumerate(x)])
    sorted_a = dict(sorted(a.items(), key = lambda kv:kv[1], reverse=True))
    indices = list(sorted_a.keys())[:k]
    values = list(sorted_a.values())[:k]
    return (indices, values)

print(f"Indices: {TopK(nums, k = 2)[0]}")
print(f"Values: {TopK(nums, k = 2)[1]}")


Indices: [1, 2]
Values: [0.3, 0.25]

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])

Use:

def max_indices(arr, k):
    '''
    Returns the indices of the k first largest elements of arr
    (in descending order in values)
    '''
    assert k <= arr.size, 'k should be smaller or equal to the array size'
    arr_ = arr.astype(float)  # make a copy of arr
    max_idxs = []
    for _ in range(k):
        max_element = np.max(arr_)
        if np.isinf(max_element):
            break
        else:
            idx = np.where(arr_ == max_element)
        max_idxs.append(idx)
        arr_[idx] = -np.inf
    return max_idxs

它也适用于2D数组。例如,

In [0]: A = np.array([[ 0.51845014,  0.72528114],
                     [ 0.88421561,  0.18798661],
                     [ 0.89832036,  0.19448609],
                     [ 0.89832036,  0.19448609]])
In [1]: max_indices(A, 8)
Out[1]:
    [(array([2, 3], dtype=int64), array([0, 0], dtype=int64)),
     (array([1], dtype=int64), array([0], dtype=int64)),
     (array([0], dtype=int64), array([1], dtype=int64)),
     (array([0], dtype=int64), array([0], dtype=int64)),
     (array([2, 3], dtype=int64), array([1, 1], dtype=int64)),
     (array([1], dtype=int64), array([1], dtype=int64))]

In [2]: A[max_indices(A, 8)[0]][0]
Out[2]: array([ 0.89832036])
