numpy.argpartition(a, kth, axis=-1, kind='introselect', order=None)
[source] -
Perform an indirect partition along the given axis using the algorithm specified by the
kind
keyword. It returns an array of indices of the same shape asa
that index data along the given axis in partitioned order.New in version 1.8.0.
Parameters: a : array_like
Array to sort.
kth : int or sequence of ints
Element index to partition by. The kth element will be in its final sorted position and all smaller elements will be moved before it and all larger elements behind it. The order all elements in the partitions is undefined. If provided with a sequence of kth it will partition all of them into their sorted position at once.
axis : int or None, optional
Axis along which to sort. The default is -1 (the last axis). If None, the flattened array is used.
kind : {?introselect?}, optional
Selection algorithm. Default is ?introselect?
order : str or list of str, optional
When
a
is an array with fields defined, this argument specifies which fields to compare first, second, etc. A single field can be specified as a string, and not all fields need be specified, but unspecified fields will still be used, in the order in which they come up in the dtype, to break ties.Returns: index_array : ndarray, int
Array of indices that partition
a
along the specified axis. In other words,a[index_array]
yields a sorteda

Notes
See
partition
for notes on the different selection algorithms.Examples
One dimensional array:
>>> x = np.array([3, 4, 2, 1]) >>> x[np.argpartition(x, 3)] array([2, 1, 3, 4]) >>> x[np.argpartition(x, (1, 3))] array([1, 2, 3, 4])
>>> x = [3, 4, 2, 1] >>> np.array(x)[np.argpartition(x, 3)] array([2, 1, 3, 4])
