I have a matrix M with values 0 through N within it. I'd like to unroll this matrix to create a new matrix A where each submatrix A[i, :, :] represents whether or not M == i.



The solution below uses a loop.



# Example Setup
import numpy as np

np.random.seed(0)
N = 5
M = np.random.randint(0, N, size=(5,5))

# Solution with Loop
A = np.zeros((N, M.shape[0], M.shape[1]))
for i in range(N):
A[i, :, :] = M == i


This yields:



M
array([[4, 0, 3, 3, 3],
[1, 3, 2, 4, 0],
[0, 4, 2, 1, 0],
[1, 1, 0, 1, 4],
[3, 0, 3, 0, 2]])

M.shape
# (5, 5)


A
array([[[0, 1, 0, 0, 0],
[0, 0, 0, 0, 1],
[1, 0, 0, 0, 1],
[0, 0, 1, 0, 0],
[0, 1, 0, 1, 0]],
...
[[1, 0, 0, 0, 0],
[0, 0, 0, 1, 0],
[0, 1, 0, 0, 0],
[0, 0, 0, 0, 1],
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0]]])

A.shape
# (5, 5, 5)


Is there a faster way, or a way to do it in a single numpy operation?

You can make use of some broadcasting here:



P = np.arange(N)
Y = np.broadcast_to(P[:, None], M.shape)
T = np.equal(M, Y[:, None]).astype(int)



Alternative using indices:



X, Y = np.indices(M.shape)
Z = np.equal(M, X[:, None]).astype(int)

Broadcasted comparison is your friend:

The idea is to expand the dimensions in such a way that the comparison can be broadcasted in the manner desired.




As pointed out by @Alex Riley in the comments, you can use np.equal.outer to avoid having to do the indexing stuff yourself,

    Good answer - just to point out there's a superfluous newaxis in your indexing for M (resulting in a 4D array). You could use M[None, :] instead to get the 3D array. An alternative to avoid fiddly indexing is to use np.equal.outer(np.arange(N), M).view(np.int8).

You can index into the identity matrix like so



 A = np.identity(N, int)[:, M]


or so



 A = np.identity(N, int)[M.T].T


Or use the new (v1.15.0) put_along_axis



A = np.zeros((N,5,5), int)
np.put_along_axis(A, M[None], 1, 0)


Note if N is much larger than 5 then creating an NxN identity matrix may be considered wasteful. We can mitigate this using stride tricks:



def read_only_identity(N, dtype=float):
z = np.zeros(2*N-1, dtype)
s, = z.strides
z[N-1] = 1
return np.lib.stride_tricks.as_strided(z[N-1:], (N, N), (-s, s))

 A = np.identity(N, int)[:, M]


or so



 A = np.identity(N, int)[M.T].T


Or use the new (v1.15.0) put_along_axis



A = np.zeros((N,5,5), int)
np.put_along_axis(A, M[None], 1, 0)


Note if N is much larger than 5 then creating an NxN identity matrix may be considered wasteful. We can mitigate this using stride tricks:



def read_only_identity(N, dtype=float):
z = np.zeros(2*N-1, dtype)
s, = z.strides
z[N-1] = 1
return np.lib.stride_tricks.as_strided(z[N-1:], (N, N), (-s, s))

    Hi Paul, this answer is really elegant, but the identity answers seem specific to the case where the N=M.shape[0]=M.shape[1]. Is the solution similarly elegant for N=/=M.shape[0]=/=M.shape[1]? Thanks for the answer, learning a lot!

    @seveibar I've updated the answer. It is really just a matter of replacing the correct 5s with Ns.

You can index into the identity matrix like so



 A = np.identity(N, int)[:, M]


or so



 A = np.identity(N, int)[M.T].T


Or use the new (v1.15.0) put_along_axis



A = np.zeros((N,5,5), int)
np.put_along_axis(A, M[None], 1, 0)


Note if N is much larger than 5 then creating an NxN identity matrix may be considered wasteful. We can mitigate this using stride tricks:



def read_only_identity(N, dtype=float):
z = np.zeros(2*N-1, dtype)
s, = z.strides
z[N-1] = 1
return np.lib.stride_tricks.as_strided(z[N-1:], (N, N), (-s, s))
