MYSQL sum() for distinct rows

I may be wrong but from what I understand conversions.id is the primary key of your table conversions stats.id is the primary key of your table stats Thus for each conversions.id you have at most one links.id impacted. You request is a bit like doing the cartesian product of 2 sets : [clicks] SELECT * … Read more

Why is a `for` loop so much faster to count True values?

sum is quite fast, but sum isn’t the cause of the slowdown. Three primary factors contribute to the slowdown: The use of a generator expression causes overhead for constantly pausing and resuming the generator. Your generator version adds unconditionally instead of only when the digit is even. This is more expensive when the digit is … Read more

Finding moving average from data points in Python

As numpy.convolve is pretty slow, those who need a fast performing solution might prefer an easier to understand cumsum approach. Here is the code: cumsum_vec = numpy.cumsum(numpy.insert(data, 0, 0)) ma_vec = (cumsum_vec[window_width:] – cumsum_vec[:-window_width]) / window_width where data contains your data, and ma_vec will contain moving averages of window_width length. On average, cumsum is about … Read more

In numpy.sum() there is parameter called “keepdims”. What does it do?

@Ney @hpaulj is correct, you need to experiment, but I suspect you don’t realize that summation for some arrays can occur along axes. Observe the following which reading the documentation >>> a array([[0, 0, 0], [0, 1, 0], [0, 2, 0], [1, 0, 0], [1, 1, 0]]) >>> np.sum(a, keepdims=True) array([[6]]) >>> np.sum(a, keepdims=False) 6 … Read more

Python sum, why not strings? [closed]

Python tries to discourage you from “summing” strings. You’re supposed to join them: “”.join(list_of_strings) It’s a lot faster, and uses much less memory. A quick benchmark: $ python -m timeit -s ‘import operator; strings = [“a”]*10000’ ‘r = reduce(operator.add, strings)’ 100 loops, best of 3: 8.46 msec per loop $ python -m timeit -s ‘import … Read more
