Is their any way to find most frequent string element in numpy ndarray?
A= numpy.array(['a','b','c']['d','d','e']])
result should be 'd'
解决方案
If you want a numpy answer you can use np.unique:
>>> unique,pos = np.unique(A,return_inverse=True) #Finds all unique elements and their positions
>>> counts = np.bincount(pos) #Count the number of each unique element
>>> maxpos = counts.argmax() #Finds the positions of the maximum count
>>> (unique[maxpos],counts[maxpos])
('d', 2)
Although if there are two elements with equal counts this will simply take the first from the unique array.
With this you can also easily sort by element count like so:
>>> maxsort = counts.argsort()[::-1]
>>> (unique[maxsort],counts[maxsort])
(array(['d', 'e', 'c', 'b', 'a'],
dtype='|S1'), array([2, 1, 1, 1, 1]))
