  • Code while standing

    - by bgbg
    I have a regular, standard, workplace: a desk, a chair an LCD monitor, a mouse and a keyboard. I would like to have the ability to work while standing. I have the feeling that my employer will not will to buy an adjustable desk, instead of the existing one, so I would like to have your help with ideas on how to convert a workplace to a "standable" one on as low budget as possible. I saw this discussion, but the solutions proposed there are way above my "low budget" definition

  • Sparse parameter selection using Genetic Algorithm

    - by bgbg
    Hello, I'm facing a parameter selection problem, which I would like to solve using Genetic Algorithm (GA). I'm supposed to select not more than 4 parameters out of 3000 possible ones. Using the binary chromosome representation seems like a natural choice. The evaluation function punishes too many "selected" attributes and if the number of attributes is acceptable, it then evaluates the selection. The problem is that in these sparse conditions the GA can hardly improve the population. Neither the average fitness cost, nor the fitness of the "worst" individual improves over the generations. All I see is slight (even tiny) improvement in the score of the best individual, which, I suppose, is a result of random sampling. Encoding the problem using indices of the parameters doesn't work either. This is most probably, due to the fact that the chromosomes are directional, while the selection problem isn't (i.e. chromosomes [1, 2, 3, 4]; [4, 3, 2, 1]; [3, 2, 4, 1] etc. are identical) What problem representation would you suggest? P.S If this matters, I use PyEvolve.

  • Reordering matrix elements to reflect column and row clustering in naiive python

    - by bgbg
    Hello, I'm looking for a way to perform clustering separately on matrix rows and than on its columns, reorder the data in the matrix to reflect the clustering and putting it all together. The clustering problem is easily solvable, so is the dendrogram creation (for example in this blog or in "Programming collective intelligence"). However, how to reorder the data remains unclear for me. Eventually, I'm looking for a way of creating graphs similar to the one below using naive Python (with any "standard" library such as numpy, matplotlib etc, but without using R or other external tools).

  • AttributeError while adding colorbar in matplotlib

    - by bgbg
    The following code fails to run on Python 2.5.4: from matplotlib import pylab as pl import numpy as np data = np.random.rand(6,6) fig = pl.figure(1) fig.clf() ax = fig.add_subplot(1,1,1) ax.imshow(data, interpolation='nearest', vmin=0.5, vmax=0.99) pl.colorbar() pl.show() The error message is C:\temp>python z.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "z.py", line 10, in <module> pl.colorbar() File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\pyplot.py", line 1369, in colorbar ret = gcf().colorbar(mappable, cax = cax, ax=ax, **kw) File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\figure.py", line 1046, in colorbar cb = cbar.Colorbar(cax, mappable, **kw) File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\colorbar.py", line 622, in __init__ mappable.autoscale_None() # Ensure mappable.norm.vmin, vmax AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'autoscale_None' How can I add colorbar to this code?

  • matplotlib analog of R's `pairs`

    - by bgbg
    R has a useful function pairs that provides nice matrix of plots of pairwise connections between variables in a data set. The resulting plot looks similar to the following figure, copied from this blog post: Is there any ready to use function based on python's matplolib? I have searched its gallery, but couldn't find anything that resembles what I need. Technically, this should be a simple task, but proper handling of all the possible cases, labels, titles, etc is very tedious.

  • Converting python objects for rpy2

    - by bgbg
    The following code is supposed to created a heatmap in rpy2 import numpy as np from rpy2.robjects import r data = np.random.random((10,10)) r.heatmap(data) However, it results in the following error Traceback (most recent call last): File "z.py", line 8, in <module> labRow=rowNames, labCol=colNames) File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\rpy2\robjects\__init__.py", line 418, in __call__ new_args = [conversion.py2ri(a) for a in args] File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\rpy2\robjects\__init__.py", line 93, in default_py2ri raise(ValueError("Nothing can be done for the type %s at the moment." %(type(o)))) ValueError: Nothing can be done for the type <type 'numpy.ndarray'> at the moment. From the documentation I learn that r.heatmap expects "a numeric matrix". How do I convert np.array to the required data type?

  • Python analog of Unix 'which'

    - by bgbg
    In *nix systems one can use which to find out the full path to a command. For example: $ which python /usr/bin/python or whereis to show all possible locations for a given command $ whereis python python: /bin/python.exe /bin/python2.5-config /usr/bin/python.exe /usr/bin/python2.5-config /lib/python2.4 /lib/python2.5 /usr/lib/python2.4 /usr/lib/python2.5 /usr/include/python2.4 /usr/include/python2.5 /usr/share/man/man1/python.1 Is there an easy way to find out the location of a module in the PYTHONPATH. Something like: >>> which (sys) 'c:\\Python25\Lib\site-packages'

  • Deliberately adding bugs to assess QA processes

    - by bgbg
    How do you know that as many bugs as possiblle have been discovered and solved in a program? Couple of years ago I have read a document about debugging (I think it was some sort of HOWTO). Among other things, that document described a technique in which the programming team deliberately adds bugs into the code and passes it to the QA team. The QA process is considered completed when all the deliberately known bugs have been discovered. Unfortunately, I cannot find this document, or any similar one with description of this trick. Can someone please point me to such a document?

  • How to read a barcode from an image

    - by tardate
    I'm seeking a library, technique or advice on how to read an EAN-13 barcode from an image (including ISBN,and ISSN encodings). The image would come from a mobile phone or webcam, so resolution may be quite poor and not well aligned. I'm specifically interested in something that could be used from ruby on rails, but answers for other languages are welcome. Open Source solutions preferred. Leading solutions so far: ZBar (previously known as Zebra - h/t @bgbg, @Natim) and ZXing (h/t @codr)
