Performance of for loops in Julia
performance,for-loop,julia-lang
The answer taking "Is it always better to avoid such top-level variables?" literal is of course "No, it depends", but a useful remark is that declaring global variables as constant const N = 10000000 makes case 2 as fast as case 3....
Julia equivalent of dplyr's bind_cols and bind_rows
Perhaps Julia's vcat and hcat functions will satisfy your requirements. julia> using DataFrames julia> df1 = DataFrame(a = 1, b = 1) 1x2 DataFrames.DataFrame | Row | a | b | |-----|---|---| | 1 | 1 | 1 | julia> df2 = DataFrame(b = 1, c = 1) 1x2 DataFrames.DataFrame...
Check whether a symbol can be safely evaluated
The HDF5.jl package has to deal with this. It tackles it by parsing the string and then inspecting the result before evaling it. If the parsed string is what it considers to be a valid_type_expression then it knows that it should be safe to evaluate in the Main namespace. This...
How to plot those equations in julia?
Use for example plot(p1,0,10,p2,0,10,p3,0,10) When plotting a function with Winston you need to specify an xrange for the plot. The example above will generate a plot for an xrange 0...10....
Fast tensor initialisation in Julia
Knowing nothing of 3D tensors with values of the "diagonal Gaussian", using thesquare comment from the original post, "typing" q (@code_warntype helps here: Big performance jump!), and further specializing the @nloops, this works much faster on the platforms I tried it on. julia> square(x::Float64) = x * x square (generic...
How do I load a UTF16-encoded text file in Julia?
The simplest way is to read it as bytes and then convert: s = open(filename, "r") do f utf16(readbytes(f)) end Note that utf16 also checks for a byte-order-mark (BOM), so it will deal with endianness issues and won't include the BOM in the resulting s. If you really want to...
Convert string argument to regular expression
To convert a string to a regex, call the Regex function on the string. Typically, to get the length of an iterator you an use the length function. However, in this case that won't really work. The eachmatch function returns an object of type Base.RegexMatchIterator, which doesn't have a length...
Julia metaprogramming: “ERROR: unsupported or misplaced expression $”
This was a bug, issue filed here: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/10997 It has been fixed since. As indicated in the comments on the question, there are some hacky workarounds if you're stuck on an unfixed Julia version, but hopefully you can upgrade....

Using matplotlib's patches in julia
OK, thanks to jverzani's link, I was able to piece together a working example. I'm still a little shaky on the syntax in Julia for setting all the options for the plot. using PyPlot using PyCall @pyimport matplotlib.patches as patch cfig = figure() ax = cfig[:add_subplot](1,1,1) ax[:set_aspect]("equal") c = patch.Circle([0.5,0.5],0.4,fc="blue",ec="red",linewidth=.5,zorder=0)...
Passing a pointer to struct as an argument in Julia

Problems in training text on AdaGram.jl
machine-learning,julia-lang,word2vec
The package provides a few shell scripts to pre-process the data and fit the model: you have to call them from the shell, i.e., outside Julia. # Install the package julia -e 'Pkg.clone("https://github.com/sbos/AdaGram.jl.git")' julia -e 'Pkg.build("AdaGram")' # Download some text wget http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/100.txt.utf-8 # Tokenize the text, and count the words...
Function Handles in Julia
callback,function-pointers,julia-lang,function-handle
According to the documentation, the objective function for NLOpt should be of the form: function f(x::Vector, grad::Vector): if length(grad) > 0: ...set grad to gradient, in-place... return ...value of f(x)... end Thus, the code would need to look something like: function myFun(a, b, c, d, grad) a - 3* b...
Julia uninitialize array at particular index
Undefined values are essentially null pointers, and there's no first-class way to "unset" an array element back to a null pointer. This becomes more difficult with very large arrays since you don't want to have much (or any) overhead for your sentinel values that represent unconnected nodes. On a 64...
Julia: BigFloat Normal distribution
julia-lang,arbitrary-precision,bigfloat
Not directly. My eventual plan is to make Distribution types parametric, which would also allow for Float32 arguments, but that is a while away yet. In the meantime, there is the non-exported φ which gives the result you wanted: Distributions.φ(x) - pdf(Normal(), x_small) ...
Print columns with variable spacing in Julia
Formatted output to the REPL @sprintf and a loop is probably what you want Assuming test.dat contains the following: A 1 11 AT 2 12 ARE 3 13 Then using the julia @printf macro, which behaves like C printf, the following looks like what you want assuming you want 2...
Julia: @fastmath not defined
Thanks Simon Byrne. My julia version is v0.3.8 less than v0.4. That's why julia prompts "@fastmath not defined".

Matrix optimization in NLopt
vectorization,julia-lang,nlopt
Yes, NLopt only understands vectors of decision variables. If your code is more naturally expressed in terms of matrices, then you should convert the vector into a matrix in the function and derivative evaluation callbacks using reinterpret.
plot a line in 3D plot in julia
well, I've just had to make: using PyPlot using Distributions function f(x) return (x[1]^2 + x[2]^2) #return sin(x[1]) + cos(x[2]) end n = 100 x = linspace(-1, 1, n) y = linspace(-1,1,n) xgrid = repmat(x',n,1) ygrid = repmat(y,1,n) z = zeros(n,n) for i in 1:n for j in 1:n z[i:i,j:j]...
Julia file input reading speed

So my baseline time on the large input (time cat A-large-practice.in | julia original.jl) was real 0m2.730s user 0m2.683s sys 0m0.351s On my system it takes Julia about 0.2 seconds to start running the file. Putting the code in a function is possibly the most important first step - this...
MessageHandler for Julia
c,rabbitmq,activemq,julia-lang,message-handlers
I'm not aware of one but have only done a cursory search. There are many Julia libraries which simply wrap an existing and well-understood C API. While getting the package build and install correct this way can be slightly tricky, it saves re-implementing complex protocols. There doesn't seem to be...
How can I write code to work with 1D matrices in Julia?
Quoting from your follow-up comment: B is sometimes a matrix, sometimes a vector/1D matrix - that's the problem. You can convert a vector to a 2D array with the "slicing" operation [:;:]. In other words, if B has type Array{T,1}, then B[:,:] has type Array{T,2}: julia> B = [1; 2]...
How to parse output of external command in Julia?
Since readall returns a String, you want something that operates on a String, split fits the bill. Base.split(string, [chars]; limit=0, keep=true) Return an array of substrings by splitting the given string on occurrences of the given character delimiters, which may be specified in any of the formats allowed by "search"'s...
Efficient one-liner in Julia to calculate “running” sums?
IIUC, you can use cumsum: julia> block_lengths = [2, 2, 2, 2, 3]; julia> cumsum(block_lengths) 5-element Array{Int32,1}: 2 4 6 8 11 julia> [0; cumsum(block_lengths)] 6-element Array{Int32,1}: 0 2 4 6 8 11 which should be O(N)....
What is the equation used in R's ccf and Julia's crosscor?
r,julia-lang,cross-correlation
I assume that citing this excerpt here is ok by StackOverflow's terms of use? From page 390 (section 14.1) of Venables and Ripley (2002) you can find the definition that they use here for the acf() function: If you look at the source code of the ccf() function in R...
Is it possible to sort a dictionary in Julia?
sorting,dictionary,data-structures,julia-lang
While SortedDict may be useful if it is necessary to keep the dictionary sorted, it is often only necessary to sort the dictionary for output, in which case, the following may be what is required: list1 = [1,2,3,4,5] list2 = [6,7,8,9,19] dictionary1 = Dict(zip(list1,list2)) sort(collect(dictionary1)) ... which produces: 5-element Array{(Int64,Int64),1}:...
In Julia, can a macro access the inferred type of its arguments?
Macros cannot do this, but generated functions can. Check out the docs here : http://julia.readthedocs.org/en/latest/manual/metaprogramming/#generated-functions...
Julia (Julia-lang) conditional in function chaining
I discovered the reason was because I did not understand the type being parsed. Here is an example: [3:999] |> println(typeof(x)) # Array{Int64,1} Meaning the value being parsed is an array of integer64. So evaluating the following: [1:999] % 3 == 0 # false So my answer was to instead...
Why 2 ^ 3 ^ 4 = 0 in Julia?
I'm surprised I couldn't find a duplicate question about this on SO yet. I figure I'll answer this slightly differently than the FAQ in the manual since it's a common first question. Oops, I somehow missed: Factorial function works in Python, returns 0 for Julia Imagine you've been taught...
Short circuit evaluation causing an invalid assignment location error
Your error is caused because the && operator has higher precedence than the assignment operator = so your line of code is executed as if you would write (x < 4 && x) = 5. For a solution you have to add parantheses. x < 4 && (x = 5)...
Parametric type not working as expected in Julia
This is the expected behavior. Types in Julia are invariant rather than covariant or contravariant. See this section of the manual for a more detailed explanation: http://julia.readthedocs.org/en/latest/manual/types/#man-parametric-types...
What mistake did I make in this matrix multiplication in Julia?
Julia and Matlab actually give the same result (for instance, the bottom-left element is -1.4e-14 in both cases): it is not exactly the identity matrix because floating point arithmetic is not exact. You can explicitly round the result before displaying it. M1 = [ 1 3 4; 45 64 33;...
One-liner or short script to run the code inside a Jupyter notebook?

How do I check if a method exists for a particular type?
It turns out that method_exists is (currently) the best way to check whether a method exists for a particular type, but one needs to be very careful. My example above just happened to stumble upon some slightly confusing (but internally consistent) behaviour in Julia's inner workings. Read on if you're...
Memory allocation in a fixed point algorithm
I think replacing the following lines in the first code for iter = 1:max_it oldx = copy( x ) ... by oldx = zeros( N ) for iter = 1:max_it oldx[:] = x # or copy!( oldx, x ) ... will be more efficient because no array is allocated. Also,...
Populating a julia dictionary with an array of symbols
scope,metaprogramming,julia-lang
The scoping issue that you are running into is that eval always evaluates expressions in global scope (the current module, unless specified otherwise). In this particular case, you could deal with that by using println(obj) instead of eval(:(println("$obj"))); there's no evaluation necessary to look at the symbol itself! But if...
Extend many standard methods to a new custom vector type

Parametric Type Creation
The answer is that things get funky with parametric types and inner constructors - in fact, I think its probably the most confusing thing in Julia. The immediate solution is to provide a suitable outer constructor: using Dates type EconData{T} values::Vector{T} dates::Array{Date} colnames::Array{ASCIIString} function EconData(values, dates, colnames) if size(values, 1)...
How to construct the POE ensemble in julia
The code is actually correct, you just have the wrong field The eigenvalue result is true for unitary matrices (complex entries); based on the code from section 4.6 of the Edelman and Rao paper, if you replace the first line by X = randn(dim, dim) + im*randn(dim, dim) you get...
How to upgrade Julia to a new release?
1.yeah you're right. Pkg.update() is used for updating julia's packages, not julia itself. So download the prebuild version and install again seems to be the only way to upgrade julia. Or you can build julia by yourself from source https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia. 2.you can find the release notes here: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/NEWS.md...
Julia's dictionary method `haskey` returning false when key is present
dictionary,equality,julia-lang
But look at this: type Point{T} x::T y::T end P = Point(1., 2.) D = [P => 42] haskey(D, P) evaluates to true. It does work if you use the same object, but it does not work if you use 2 objects with the same field values. Note that objects...
How do I switch between different versions of Julia (specifically between v0.3 and v0.4 on Ubuntu)?
linux,ubuntu,ubuntu-14.04,julia-lang
You can install different versions of Julia in different locations and set separate symlinks. For example, you could download the v0.3 Linux binaries and install them to one location, then clone the GitHub source for v0.4 and install that in another location. Then set symlinks such as julia3 for v0.3...
How to return values from recursive function to array

Julia: local in module scope
It's to prevent _F_ from being visible in the global method cache. If you'll call clever_foo with the same n repeatedly, you can do even better by saving the compiled function in a Dict. That way you don't have to recompile it each time....
Efficient-yet-terse way to add all the arrays in a composite type?
A more julian approach to add_structs_1 is to make the inner loop a separate function, this allows the compiler to specialize the function on each type in the SampleStruct and gives quite a speedup. By profiling the code it was visible that the time to execute names(SampleStruct) were quite significant,...
Calling Win32 Functions From Julia
Yes you do need to supply a library name. The first argument to ccall is a tuple of the form (:function, "library"). So, if you were calling GetTickCount it would be (:GetTickCount, "kernel32"). You also need to specify the calling convention, return value type, and the parameter types. In the...
Converting images from RGB to HSL and back again with julia

julia @printf changes my variable
Macro parsing (particularly within the context of a function call) is a little finicky. You can see how Julia parsed this simply by quoting it: julia> :(annotate(@printf "test : %5.2f" b, xy=[1;1])) :(annotate(@printf "test : %5.2f" (b,xy) = [1,1])) As you can see, the macro is "greedier" than function arguments....
Can I use a subtype of a function parameter in the function definition?
The ability to define a function g{T, S<:T}(::T, ::S) has been referred to as "triangular dispatch" as an analogy to diagonal dispatch: f{T}(::T, ::T). (Imagine a table with a type hierarchy labelling the rows and columns, arranged such that the super types are to the top and left. The rows...
Matching of array elements in Julia
To make an element-by-element comparison, Julia requires that both arrays have the same number of elements. This can be achieved in this case with a comprehension: julia> x = Any[[1,2],[2,3],[3,4],[4,5]] 4-element Array{Any,1}: [1,2] [2,3] [3,4] [4,5] julia> x[x.==[[3,4] for i in 1:length(x)]] 1-element Array{Any,1}: [3,4] So the question in my...
Strange observation about timing comparison between Julia and Matlab
There are a couple of things going on here. Firstly, unlike Matlab, the x is an array of machine integers, not floating point values. This appears to be the main difference in speed, as it is unable to use BLAS routines for linear algebra. You need to do either x...
Analytical solution for Linear Regression using Python vs. Julia
A more numerically robust approach in Python, without having to do the matrix algebra yourself is to use numpy.linalg.lstsq to do the regression: In [29]: np.linalg.lstsq(X, y) Out[29]: (array([[ 188.40031942], [ 0.3866255 ], [ -56.13824955], [ -92.9672536 ], [ -3.73781915]]), array([], dtype=float64), 4, array([ 3.08487554e+03, 1.88409728e+01, 1.37100414e+00, 1.97618336e-01])) (Compare the...
Julia parallel programming - Making existing function available to all workers
for-loop,parallel-processing,julia-lang
The approach to return the function seems elegant but unfortunately, unlike JavaScript, Julia does not resolve all the variables when creating the functions. Technically, your training function could produce the source code of the function with literal values for all the trained parameters. Then pass it to each of the...

Subtypes of composite types
The reason for your results is julias invariant typing system. This means, although ASCIIString <: String is true, Vector{ASCIIString} <: Vector{String} is false.

Looking at Constants.jl in Julia 0.3 and 0.4 Although it looks like you are using Julia 0.3, and these results are principally about Julia 0.4, it also has the same problem and the cause is the same which is unnecessary allocation of intermediates. To get an idea of what is...
Julia macros may treat variable and literals differently?
Macros are very different beasts compared to functions. One of the differences is that they do not evaluate their arguments: http://docs.julialang.org/en/latest/manual/metaprogramming/#macro-invocation It is important to emphasize that macros receive their arguments as expressions, literals, or symbols. To see the implications compare the 2 outputs (left as an exercise): julia> macroexpand(:(@load...
Julia: How do I create a macro that returns its argument?
The input expression to the macro needs to be quoted because a macro returns an expression, which are evaluated, while you would like to get the expression itself, hence you need an extra quoting. The quoting can be done as: macro mymacro(ex) Expr(:quote,ex) # this creates an expression that looks...
Julia: Instantiated type parameters

How to obtain deep copies of Julia composite types?
An answer to your specific question: When you define a new type in Julia, it is common to extend some of the standard methods in Base to your new type, including deepcopy. For example: type MyType x::Vector y::Vector end import Base.deepcopy Base.deepcopy(m::MyType) = MyType(deepcopy(m.x), deepcopy(m.y)) Now you can call deepcopy...
Exact decimal arithmetic in Julia

Overloading a function in two files (in Julia)
You have to make A.f and B.f the same function (in the example above they are just different functions with the same name). Then you can overload one method in each of the modules and multiple dispatch will do its job. The way to achieve this is either to have...

You can use extendible dimensions, d = d_create(parent, name, dtype, (dims, max_dims), "chunk", (chunk_dims), [lcpl, dcpl, dapl]) set_dims!(d, new_dims) where dims is a tuple of integers. For example b = d_create(fid, "b", Int, ((1000,),(-1,)), "chunk", (100,)) #-1...
Compiler messages in Julia
In this case it's almost certainly a consequence of inlining: your printLength function is so short, it's almost certainly inlined into the call site, which is why you get the line number 8. Eventually, it is expected that inlining won't cause problems for backtraces. At the moment, your best bet---if...
Composite types in Julia: Dictionaries as a named field?
dictionary,julia-lang,compositetype
There's a subtle difference in the syntax between types and instances. Dict() instantiates a dictionary, whereas Dict by itself is the type. When defining a composite type, the field definitions need to be of the form symbol::Type. That error message is a little confusing. What it's effectively saying is this:...
How to get a function from a symbol without using eval?
@Isaiah's answer is spot-on; perhaps even more-so after the edit to the original question. To elaborate and make this more specific to your case: I'd change your NeuralLayer type to be parametric: type NeuralLayer{func_type} weights::Matrix{Float32} biases::Vector{Float32} end Since func_type doesn't appear in the types of the fields, the constructor will...
How to change radial ticks in julia PyPlot polar plot?

Slicing and broadcasting multidimensional arrays in Julia : meshgrid example
multidimensional-array,slice,julia-lang

Function with no arguments but with type in Julia
function,methods,types,julia-lang
When exploring the behavior of a function in Julia, it is important to understand which specific method is being called. Julia is organized around multiple dispatch, so a single name such as ndims may be associated with different implementations -- chosen by the type of the arguments. To see how...

The symbol your function returned where the symbol function, due to the last symbol in your qoute did not have $ in front. The second problem is you would like to return the symbol it self, which requires you make a quote inside the quote similar to this question Julia:...
Concatenate ArrayViews (or sliceviews or SubArrays) in Julia?
Not directly. But you could roll your own type with something like: julia> type CView{A<:AbstractArray} <: AbstractArray a::A b::A end julia> import Base: size, getindex, setindex! julia> size(c::CView) = tuple([sa+sb for (sa, sb) in zip(size(c.a), size(c.b))]...) size (generic function with 57 methods) julia> getindex(c::CView, i::Int) = i <= length(c.a) ?...
How to change the Winston plot range of x after evaluation in Julia?
You will also have to re-calculate y and generate a new plot: using Winston x=[0:0.1:2pi]; y=sin(x) plot(x,y) Generates the first plot and then x=[0:0.1:4pi]; #Re-define x y=sin(x) #Calculate new y plot(x,y) #Generate new plot will generate a new plot....
Sapply (from R) equivalent for Julia?
You can use an anonymous function as in mapslices(t -> [mean(t), median(t), iqr(t)], A, 1) but using comprehensions and splatting, as in your last example, is also fine. For very large arrays, you might want to avoid the temporary allocations introduced by transpose and splatting, but in most cases you...
Type stable functions in Julia for general distribution when working with floating point inputs
types,floating-point,julia-lang
The one and zero functions are useful here: function f(x, c) if x <= 0 return zero(x) elseif x <= c return x/c else return one(x) end end This version is a bit more strict about the input types: function f{T<:FloatingPoint}(x::T, c::T) if x <= 0 return zero(T) elseif x...
How to construct matrix from row/column vectors in Julia
Have you tried hcat: julia> column(j) = [j, j ,j] column (generic function with 1 method) julia> my_matrix = hcat([column(j) for j=1:4]...) 3x4 Array{Int64,2}: 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 ...
After building julia from source, what's safe to delete?
The /deps folder is not needed, that is correct but the simple thing to do is make install and that will create a directory julia-some hex number. That directory is all that is needed and it can be copied anywhere and everything else deleted afterwards, but the /deps folder will...
Julia way of searching tokens in integer arrays
For practice I have also made trial-and-errors and the following patterns have worked for Julia0.4.0. With A = Int[1,2,3,2,3] and pat = Int[2,3], the first one is x = Int[ A[i:i+1] == pat ? i : 0 for i=1:length(A)-1 ] x[ x .> 0 ] # => [2,4] the second...
How do I create a recursive typealias in julia?
recursion,types,julia-lang,type-alias
Dose this work for what you are doing? typealias NestedTuple0{N,T} Tuple{Union(T,N),Union(T,N)} typealias NestedTuple{T} NestedTuple0{NestedTuple0{T},T} Note: I am only able to try this in 036, not 04 An exmple of use: function rnt(p) np = 0.95*p a=rand() <p ? rnt(np) : 1 b=rand() <p ? rnt(np) : 2 (a,b) end x=rnt(1.0)...
How to display a type alias instead of a parametric type in error messages
You need to define an appropriate show method: import Base.show show(io::IO, ::Type{MT}) = print(io, "MT") Your example then gives: julia> y1 + y2 ERROR: `+` has no method matching +(::MT, ::MT) ...
Constructors in Julia: initializing named fields based on the input value of other named fields
constructor,julia-lang,compositetype
Inner constructors are just the functions that appear inside the type block with the same name as the type. That means that you can use either function syntax to define them. You can use the short form (as you did above), or you can instead use the more verbose block...
