util module

This module contains some small and useful utility functions and classes.

util.resolutionToBinsize(resolution) Return the bin size from the resolution unit
util.binsizeToResolution(binsize) Return the resolution unit from the bin size
util.sorted_nicely(inputList) Sorts the given given list in the way that is expected.
util.locate_significant_digit_after_decimal(value) Get location at which significant digit start after decimal
util.kth_diag_indices(k, a) Get diagonal indices of 2D array ‘a’ offset by ‘k’
util.detectOutliers1D(points[, thresh]) Returns a boolean array with True if points are outliers and False otherwise.
util.getRandomName([size, chars]) Random name generator
util.MapNotFoundError(value)
util.ResolutionNotFoundError(value)

Exception classes

class MapNotFoundError(value)
class ResolutionNotFoundError(value)

Small utility functions

exception MapNotFoundError(value)
exception ResolutionNotFoundError(value)
binsizeToResolution(binsize)

Return the resolution unit from the bin size

It is a convenient function to convert binsize into resolution unit. It has a support of base (b), kilobase (kb), megabase (mb) and gigabase (gb) unit. It also convert binsize to decimal resolution unit as shown below in examples.

Parameters:binsize (int) – bin size
Returns:resolution – resolution unit
Return type:str

Examples

>>> binsizeToResolution(1)
'1b'
>>> binsizeToResolution(10)
'10b'
>>> binsizeToResolution(10000)
'10kb'
>>> binsizeToResolution(100000)
'100kb'
>>> binsizeToResolution(125500)
'125.5kb'
>>> binsizeToResolution(1000000)
'1mb'
>>> binsizeToResolution(1634300)
'1.6343mb'
detectOutliers1D(points, thresh=3.5)

Returns a boolean array with True if points are outliers and False otherwise.

Parameters:
  • points (numpy.ndarray) – An numobservations by numdimensions array of observations
  • thresh (float) – The modified z-score to use as a threshold. Observations with a modified z-score (based on the median absolute deviation) greater than this value will be classified as outliers.
Returns:

outBool – A numobservations-length boolean array.

Return type:

numpy.ndarray

detectOutliersMasked1D(points, thresh=3.5)

Returns a masked array where outliers are masked with preserved input mask.

Parameters:
  • points (numpy.ma.ndarray) – An numobservations by numdimensions array of observations
  • thresh (float) – The modified z-score to use as a threshold. Observations with a modified z-score (based on the median absolute deviation) greater than this value will be classified as outliers.
Returns:

maskArray – A numobservations-length masked array.

Return type:

numpy.ma.ndarray

getRandomName(size=10, chars='abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789')

Random name generator

Parameters:size (int) – Number of alphabets in the name.
Returns:name – Randomly generated name.
Return type:str
kth_diag_indices(k, a)

Get diagonal indices of 2D array ‘a’ offset by ‘k’

Parameters:
  • k (int) – Diagonal offset
  • a (numpy.ndarray) – Input numpy 2D array
Returns:

indices – It contain indences of elements that are at the diagonal offset by ‘k’.

Return type:

tuple of two numpy.ndarray

locate_significant_digit_after_decimal(value)

Get location at which significant digit start after decimal

Parameters:value (float) – Input value
Returns:value – Number of zeros after which digit start in a small decimal number.
Return type:int
resolutionToBinsize(resolution)

Return the bin size from the resolution unit

It is a convenient function to convert resolution unit to binsize. It has a support of base (b), kilobase (kb), megabase (mb) and gigabase (gb) unit. It also convert decimal resolution unit as shown below in examples.

Parameters:resolution (str) – resolution in b, kb, mb or gb.
Returns:binsize – bin size
Return type:int

Examples

>>> resolutionToBinsize('1b')
1
>>> resolutionToBinsize('10b')
10
>>> resolutionToBinsize('1kb')
1000
>>> resolutionToBinsize('16kb')
16000
>>> resolutionToBinsize('1.23kb')
1230
>>> resolutionToBinsize('1.6mb')
1600000
>>> resolutionToBinsize('1.457mb')
1457000
sorted_nicely(inputList)

Sorts the given given list in the way that is expected.

Parameters:inputList (list) – The input list to be sorted.
Returns:outputList – The sorted list
Return type:list
