Bases:
object
RDMs class
- Parameters:
dissimilarities (numpy.ndarray) – either a 2d np-array (n_rdm x vectorform of dissimilarities) or a 3d np-array (n_rdm x n_cond x n_cond)
dissimilarity_measure (String) – a description of the dissimilarity measure (e.g. ‘Euclidean’)
descriptors (dict) – descriptors with 1 value per RDMs object
rdm_descriptors (dict) – descriptors with 1 value per RDM
pattern_descriptors (dict) – descriptors with 1 value per RDM column
- Variables:
n_rdm (int) – number of rdms
n_cond (int) – number of patterns
- append(rdm)[source]¶
appends an rdm to the object The rdm should have the same shape and type as this object. Its pattern_descriptor and descriptor are ignored
- Parameters:
rdm (rsatoolbox.rdm.RDMs) – the rdm to append
Returns:
- copy() RDMs [source]¶
Return a copy of this object, with all properties equal to the original’s
- Returns:
Value copy
- Return type:
- descriptors: Dict¶
- dissimilarities: ndarray¶
- dissimilarity_measure: str | None¶
- get_matrices()[source]¶
Returns RDMs as np.ndarray with each RDM as a matrix
- Returns:
RDMs as a 3-Tensor with one matrix per RDM
- Return type:
numpy.ndarray
- get_vectors()[source]¶
Returns RDMs as np.ndarray with each RDM as a vector
- Returns:
RDMs as a matrix with one row per RDM
- Return type:
numpy.ndarray
- mean(weights=None)[source]¶
Average rdm of all rdms contained
- Parameters:
weights (str or ndarray, optional) – One of: None: No weighting applied str: Use the weights contained in the rdm_descriptor with this name ndarray: Weights array of the shape of RDMs.dissimilarities
- Returns:
New RDMs object with one vector
- Return type:
rsatoolbox.rdm.rdms.RDMs
- pattern_descriptors: Dict¶
- rdm_descriptors: Dict¶
- reorder(new_order)[source]¶
Reorder the patterns according to the index in new_order
- Parameters:
new_order (numpy.ndarray) – new order of patterns, vector of length equal to the number of patterns
- save(filename, file_type='hdf5', overwrite=False)[source]¶
saves the RDMs object into a file
- Parameters:
filename (String) – path to file to save to [or opened file]
file_type (String) – Type of file to create: hdf5: hdf5 file pkl: pickle file
overwrite (Boolean) – overwrites file if it already exists
- sort_by(reindex: bool = True, **kwargs)[source]¶
Reorder the patterns by sorting a descriptor
- Parameters:
reindex (bool) – whether to reset the ‘index’ descriptor following sorting
Pass keyword arguments that correspond to descriptors, with value indicating the sort type. Supported methods:
‘alpha’: sort alphabetically (using np.sort)
- list/np.array: specify the new order explicitly. Values should
correspond to the descriptor values
Examples
The following code sorts the ‘condition’ descriptor alphabetically:
rdms.sort_by(condition='alpha')
The following code sort the ‘condition’ descriptor in the order 1, 3, 2, 4, 5:
rdms.sort_by(condition=[1, 3, 2, 4, 5])
- Raises:
ValueError – Raised if the method chosen is not implemented
- subsample(by, value)[source]¶
Returns a subsampled RDMs with repetitions if values are repeated
- Parameters:
by (String) – the descriptor by which the subset selection is made from descriptors
value – the value by which the subset selection is made from descriptors
- Returns:
RDMs object, with subsampled RDMs
- subsample_pattern(by, value)[source]¶
Returns a subsampled RDMs with repetitions if values are repeated
This function now generates Nans where the off-diagonal 0s would appear. These values are trivial to predict for models and thus need to be marked and excluded from the evaluation.
- Parameters:
by (String) – the descriptor by which the subset selection is made from descriptors
value – the value(s) by which the subset selection is made from descriptors
- Returns:
RDMs object, with subsampled patterns
- subset(by, value)[source]¶
Returns a set of fewer RDMs matching descriptor values
- Parameters:
by (String) – the descriptor by which the subset selection is made from descriptors
value – the value by which the subset selection is made from descriptors
- Returns:
RDMs object, with fewer RDMs
- subset_pattern(by, value)[source]¶
Returns a smaller RDMs with patterns with certain descriptor values
- Parameters:
by (String) – the descriptor by which the subset selection is made from pattern_descriptors
value – the value by which the subset selection is made from pattern_descriptors
- Returns:
RDMs object, with fewer patterns
- rsatoolbox.rdm.rdms.concat(*rdms)[source]¶
concatenates rdm objects requires that the rdms have the same shape descriptor and pattern descriptors are taken from the first rdms object for rdm_descriptors concatenation is tried the rdm index is reinitialized
- Parameters:
rdms (iterable of pyrsa.rdm.RDMs) – RDMs objects to be concatenated
arguments (or multiple RDMs as separate) –
- Returns:
concatenated rdms object
- Return type:
rsatoolbox.rdm.RDMs
- rsatoolbox.rdm.rdms.get_categorical_rdm(category_vector, category_name='category')[source]¶
generates an RDM object containing a categorical RDM, i.e. RDM = 0 if the category is the same and 1 if they are different
- Parameters:
category_vector (iterable) – a category index per condition
category_name (String) – name for the descriptor in the object, defaults to ‘category’
- Returns:
constructed RDM
- Return type:
rsatoolbox.rdm.RDMs
- rsatoolbox.rdm.rdms.inverse_permute_rdms(rdms)[source]¶
Gimmick function to reverse the effect of permute_rdms()
- rsatoolbox.rdm.rdms.load_rdm(filename, file_type=None)[source]¶
loads a RDMs object from disk
- Parameters:
filename (String) – path to file to load
- rsatoolbox.rdm.rdms.permute_rdms(rdms, p=None)[source]¶
Permute rows, columns and corresponding pattern descriptors of RDM matrices according to a permutation vector
- Parameters:
p (numpy.ndarray) – permutation vector (values must be unique integers from 0 to n_cond of RDM matrix). If p = None, a random permutation vector is created.
- Returns:
- the rdm object with a permuted matrix
and pattern descriptors
- Return type:
rdm_p(rsatoolbox.rdm.RDMs)
