I would like to find out what is the most efficient way to achieve the following in Python:
Suppose we have two lists a and b which are of equal length and contain up to 1e7 elements.
However, for the ease of illustration we may consider the following:
a = [2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 4, 6, 5, 7, 8, 9, 8,10,11]
b = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10,11,12,13,14,15]
The goal is to create a strictly monotonic list a_new from a whereas only the first sample point of sample points with identical values is used.
The same indices that have to be deleted in a should also be deleted in b such that the final result will be:
a_new = [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10,11]
b_new = [1, 4, 5, 6, 8,10,11,12,14,15]
Of course this can be done using computationally expensive for loops which is however not suitable due to the huge amount of data.
Any suggestions are very appreciated.

Running a version of @juanpa.arrivillaga's function with numba
import numba
def psi(A):
a_cummax = np.maximum.accumulate(A)
a_new, idx = np.unique(a_cummax, return_index=True)
return idx
def foo(arr):
aux=np.maximum.accumulate(arr)
flag = np.concatenate(([True], aux[1:] != aux[:-1]))
return np.nonzero(flag)[0]
@numba.jit
def f(A):
m = A[0]
a_new, idx = [m], [0]
for i, a in enumerate(A[1:], 1):
if a > m:
m = a
a_new.append(a)
idx.append(i)
return idx
timing
%timeit f(a)
The slowest run took 5.37 times longer than the fastest. This could mean that an intermediate result is being cached.
1000000 loops, best of 3: 1.83 µs per loop
%timeit foo(a)
The slowest run took 9.41 times longer than the fastest. This could mean that an intermediate result is being cached.
100000 loops, best of 3: 6.35 µs per loop
%timeit psi(a)
The slowest run took 9.66 times longer than the fastest. This could mean that an intermediate result is being cached.
