jax.numpy package

Implements the NumPy API, using the primitives in jax.lax.

While JAX tries to follow the NumPy API as closely as possible, sometimes JAX cannot follow NumPy exactly.

• Notably, since JAX arrays are immutable, NumPy APIs that mutate arrays in-place cannot be implemented in JAX. However, often JAX is able to provide an alternative API that is purely functional. For example, instead of in-place array updates (x[i] = y), JAX provides an alternative pure indexed update function x.at[i].set(y).

• Relatedly, some NumPy functions return views of arrays when possible (examples are numpy.transpose() and numpy.reshape()). JAX versions of such functions will return copies instead, although such copies can often be optimized away by XLA when sequences of operations are compiled using jax.jit().

• NumPy is very aggressive at promoting values to float64 type. JAX sometimes is less aggressive about type promotion (See Type promotion semantics).

A small number of NumPy operations that have data-dependent output shapes are incompatible with jax.jit() compilation. The XLA compiler requires that shapes of arrays be known at compile time. While it would be possible to provide a JAX implementation of an API such as numpy.nonzero(), we would be unable to JIT-compile it because the shape of its output depends on the contents of the input data.

Not every function in NumPy is implemented; contributions are welcome!

JAX DeviceArray

The JAX DeviceArray is the core array object in JAX: you can think of it as the equivalent of a numpy.ndarray backed by a memory buffer on a single device. Like numpy.ndarray, most users will not need to instantiate DeviceArray objects manually, but rather will create them via jax.numpy functions like array(), arange(), linspace(), and others listed above.

jax.numpy.DeviceArray

alias of jaxlib.xla_extension.DeviceArrayBase

class jaxlib.xla_extension.DeviceArrayBase

class jaxlib.xla_extension.DeviceArray

property T

Reverse or permute the axes of an array; returns the modified array.

LAX-backend implementation of transpose().

The JAX version of this function may in some cases return a copy rather than a view of the input.

Original docstring below.

For an array a with two axes, transpose(a) gives the matrix transpose.

Refer to numpy.ndarray.transpose for full documentation.

Parameters

• a (array_like) – Input array.

• axes (tuple or list of ints, optional) – If specified, it must be a tuple or list which contains a permutation of [0,1,..,N-1] where N is the number of axes of a. The i’th axis of the returned array will correspond to the axis numbered axes[i] of the input. If not specified, defaults to range(a.ndim)[::-1], which reverses the order of the axes.

Returns

p – a with its axes permuted. A view is returned whenever possible.

Return type

ndarray

all(axis=None, out=None, keepdims=None, *, where=None)

Test whether all array elements along a given axis evaluate to True.

LAX-backend implementation of all().

Original docstring below.

Parameters

• a (array_like) – Input array or object that can be converted to an array.

• axis (None or int or tuple of ints, optional) – Axis or axes along which a logical AND reduction is performed. The default (axis=None) is to perform a logical AND over all the dimensions of the input array. axis may be negative, in which case it counts from the last to the first axis.

• keepdims (bool, optional) –

  If this is set to True, the axes which are reduced are left in the result as dimensions with size one. With this option, the result will broadcast correctly against the input array.

  If the default value is passed, then keepdims will not be passed through to the all method of sub-classes of ndarray, however any non-default value will be. If the sub-class’ method does not implement keepdims any exceptions will be raised.

• where (array_like of bool, optional) – Elements to include in checking for all True values. See ~numpy.ufunc.reduce for details.

Returns

all – A new boolean or array is returned unless out is specified, in which case a reference to out is returned.

Return type

ndarray, bool

any(axis=None, out=None, keepdims=None, *, where=None)

Test whether any array element along a given axis evaluates to True.

LAX-backend implementation of any().

Original docstring below.

Returns single boolean unless axis is not None

Parameters

• a (array_like) – Input array or object that can be converted to an array.

• axis (None or int or tuple of ints, optional) – Axis or axes along which a logical OR reduction is performed. The default (axis=None) is to perform a logical OR over all the dimensions of the input array. axis may be negative, in which case it counts from the last to the first axis.

• keepdims (bool, optional) –

  If this is set to True, the axes which are reduced are left in the result as dimensions with size one. With this option, the result will broadcast correctly against the input array.

  If the default value is passed, then keepdims will not be passed through to the any method of sub-classes of ndarray, however any non-default value will be. If the sub-class’ method does not implement keepdims any exceptions will be raised.

• where (array_like of bool, optional) – Elements to include in checking for any True values. See ~numpy.ufunc.reduce for details.

Returns

any – A new boolean or ndarray is returned unless out is specified, in which case a reference to out is returned.

Return type

bool or ndarray

argmax(axis=None, out=None)

Returns the indices of the maximum values along an axis.

LAX-backend implementation of argmax().

Original docstring below.

Parameters

• a (array_like) – Input array.

• axis (int, optional) – By default, the index is into the flattened array, otherwise along the specified axis.

index_array – Array of indices into the array. It has the same shape as a.shape with the dimension along axis removed.

Return type

ndarray of ints

argmin(axis=None, out=None)

Returns the indices of the minimum values along an axis.

LAX-backend implementation of argmin().

Original docstring below.

Parameters

• a (array_like) – Input array.

• axis (int, optional) – By default, the index is into the flattened array, otherwise along the specified axis.

Returns

index_array – Array of indices into the array. It has the same shape as a.shape with the dimension along axis removed.

Return type

ndarray of ints

argpartition(**kwargs)

Perform an indirect partition along the given axis using the

LAX-backend implementation of argpartition().

* This function is not yet implemented by jax.numpy, and will raise NotImplementedError *

Original docstring below.

algorithm specified by the kind keyword. It returns an array of indices of the same shape as a 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 k-th 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 k-th 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 – Array of indices that partition a along the specified axis. If a is one-dimensional, a[index_array] yields a partitioned a. More generally, np.take_along_axis(a, index_array, axis=a) always yields the partitioned a, irrespective of dimensionality.

Return type

ndarray, int

argsort(axis=- 1, kind='stable', order=None)

Returns the indices that would sort an array.

LAX-backend implementation of argsort().

Only kind='stable' is supported. Other kind values will produce a warning and be treated as if they were 'stable'.

Original docstring below.

Perform an indirect sort along the given axis using the algorithm specified by the kind keyword. It returns an array of indices of the same shape as a that index data along the given axis in sorted order.

Parameters

• a (array_like) – Array to sort.

• 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 ({'quicksort', 'mergesort', 'heapsort', 'stable'}, optional) –

  Sorting algorithm. The default is ‘quicksort’. Note that both ‘stable’ and ‘mergesort’ use timsort under the covers and, in general, the actual implementation will vary with data type. The ‘mergesort’ option is retained for backwards compatibility.

  Changed in version 1.15.0.: The ‘stable’ option was added.

• 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 – Array of indices that sort a along the specified axis. If a is one-dimensional, a[index_array] yields a sorted a. More generally, np.take_along_axis(a, index_array, axis=axis) always yields the sorted a, irrespective of dimensionality.

Return type

ndarray, int

property at

Helper property for index update functionality.

The at property provides a functionally pure equivalent of in-place array modificatons.

In particular:

Alternate syntax	Equivalent In-place expression
x = x.at[idx].set(y)	x[idx] = y
x = x.at[idx].add(y)	x[idx] += y
x = x.at[idx].multiply(y)	x[idx] *= y
x = x.at[idx].divide(y)	x[idx] /= y
x = x.at[idx].power(y)	x[idx] **= y
x = x.at[idx].min(y)	x[idx] = minimum(x[idx], y)
x = x.at[idx].max(y)	x[idx] = maximum(x[idx], y)
x = x.at[idx].get()	x = x[idx]

None of the x.at expressions modify the original x; instead they return a modified copy of x. However, inside a jit() compiled function, expressions like x = x.at[idx].set(y) are guaranteed to be applied in-place.

Unlike NumPy in-place operations such as x[idx] += y, if multiple indices refer to the same location, all updates will be applied (NumPy would only apply the last update, rather than applying all updates.) The order in which conflicting updates are applied is implementation-defined and may be nondeterministic (e.g., due to concurrency on some hardware platforms).

By default, JAX assumes that all indices are in-bounds. There is experimental support for giving more precise semantics to out-of-bounds indexed accesses, via the mode parameter (see below).

Parameters

• mode (str) –

  Specify out-of-bound indexing mode. Options are:

  • "promise_in_bounds": (default) The user promises that indices are in bounds. No additional checking will be performed. In practice, this means that out-of-bounds indices in get() will be clipped, and out-of-bounds indices in set(), add(), etc. will be dropped.

  • "clip": clamp out of bounds indices into valid range.

  • "drop": ignore out-of-bound indices.

  • "fill": alias for "drop". For get(), the optional fill_value argument specifies the value that will be returned.

• indices_are_sorted (bool) – If True, the implementation will assume that the indices passed to at[] are sorted in ascending order, which can lead to more efficient execution on some backends.

• unique_indices (bool) – If True, the implementation will assume that the indices passed to at[] are unique, which can result in more efficient execution on some backends.

• fill_value (Any) – Only applies to the get() method: the fill value to return for out-of-bounds slices when mode is 'fill'. Ignored otherwise. Defaults to NaN for inexact types, the largest negative value for signed types, the largest positive value for unsigned types, and True for booleans.

Examples

>>> x = jnp.arange(5.0)
>>> x
DeviceArray([0., 1., 2., 3., 4.], dtype=float32)
>>> x.at[2].add(10)
DeviceArray([ 0.,  1., 12.,  3.,  4.], dtype=float32)
>>> x.at[10].add(10)  # out-of-bounds indices are ignored
DeviceArray([0., 1., 2., 3., 4.], dtype=float32)
>>> x.at[20].add(10, mode='clip')
DeviceArray([ 0.,  1.,  2.,  3., 14.], dtype=float32)
>>> x.at[2].get()
DeviceArray(2., dtype=float32)
>>> x.at[20].get()  # out-of-bounds indices clipped
DeviceArray(4., dtype=float32)
>>> x.at[20].get(mode='fill')  # out-of-bounds indices filled with NaN
DeviceArray(nan, dtype=float32)
>>> x.at[20].get(mode='fill', fill_value=-1)  # custom fill value
DeviceArray(-1., dtype=float32)

choose(choices, out=None, mode='raise')

Construct an array from an index array and a list of arrays to choose from.

LAX-backend implementation of choose().

Original docstring below.

First of all, if confused or uncertain, definitely look at the Examples - in its full generality, this function is less simple than it might seem from the following code description (below ndi = numpy.lib.index_tricks):

np.choose(a,c) == np.array([c[a[I]][I] for I in ndi.ndindex(a.shape)]).

But this omits some subtleties. Here is a fully general summary:

Given an “index” array (a) of integers and a sequence of n arrays (choices), a and each choice array are first broadcast, as necessary, to arrays of a common shape; calling these Ba and Bchoices[i], i = 0,…,n-1 we have that, necessarily, Ba.shape == Bchoices[i].shape for each i. Then, a new array with shape Ba.shape is created as follows:

• if mode='raise' (the default), then, first of all, each element of a (and thus Ba) must be in the range [0, n-1]; now, suppose that i (in that range) is the value at the (j0, j1, ..., jm) position in Ba - then the value at the same position in the new array is the value in Bchoices[i] at that same position;

• if mode='wrap', values in a (and thus Ba) may be any (signed) integer; modular arithmetic is used to map integers outside the range [0, n-1] back into that range; and then the new array is constructed as above;

• if mode='clip', values in a (and thus Ba) may be any (signed) integer; negative integers are mapped to 0; values greater than n-1 are mapped to n-1; and then the new array is constructed as above.

Parameters

• a (int array) – This array must contain integers in [0, n-1], where n is the number of choices, unless mode=wrap or mode=clip, in which cases any integers are permissible.

• choices (sequence of arrays) – Choice arrays. a and all of the choices must be broadcastable to the same shape. If choices is itself an array (not recommended), then its outermost dimension (i.e., the one corresponding to choices.shape[0]) is taken as defining the “sequence”.

• mode ({'raise' (default), 'wrap', 'clip'}, optional) –

  Specifies how indices outside [0, n-1] will be treated:

  • ’raise’ : an exception is raised

  • ’wrap’ : value becomes value mod n

  • ’clip’ : values < 0 are mapped to 0, values > n-1 are mapped to n-1

Returns

merged_array – The merged result.

Return type

clone()

conj()

Return the complex conjugate, element-wise.

LAX-backend implementation of conjugate().

Original docstring below.

Parameters

• x (array_like) – Input value.

• out (ndarray, None, or tuple of ndarray and None, optional) – A location into which the result is stored. If provided, it must have a shape that the inputs broadcast to. If not provided or None, a freshly-allocated array is returned. A tuple (possible only as a keyword argument) must have length equal to the number of outputs.

• where (array_like, optional) – This condition is broadcast over the input. At locations where the condition is True, the out array will be set to the ufunc result. Elsewhere, the out array will retain its original value. Note that if an uninitialized out array is created via the default out=None, locations within it where the condition is False will remain uninitialized.

• **kwargs – For other keyword-only arguments, see the ufunc docs.

Returns

y – The complex conjugate of x, with same dtype as y. This is a scalar if x is a scalar.

Return type

conjugate()

Return the complex conjugate, element-wise.

LAX-backend implementation of conjugate().

Original docstring below.

The complex conjugate of a complex number is obtained by changing the sign of its imaginary part.

Parameters

• x (array_like) – Input value.

• out (ndarray, None, or tuple of ndarray and None, optional) – A location into which the result is stored. If provided, it must have a shape that the inputs broadcast to. If not provided or None, a freshly-allocated array is returned. A tuple (possible only as a keyword argument) must have length equal to the number of outputs.

• where (array_like, optional) – This condition is broadcast over the input. At locations where the condition is True, the out array will be set to the ufunc result. Elsewhere, the out array will retain its original value. Note that if an uninitialized out array is created via the default out=None, locations within it where the condition is False will remain uninitialized.

LAX-backend implementation of cumprod().

Original docstring below.

Parameters

• axis (int, optional) – Axis along which the cumulative product is computed. By default the input is flattened.

• dtype (dtype, optional) – Type of the returned array, as well as of the accumulator in which the elements are multiplied. If dtype is not specified, it defaults to the dtype of a, unless a has an integer dtype with a precision less than that of the default platform integer. In that case, the default platform integer is used instead.

Returns

cumprod – A new array holding the result is returned unless out is specified, in which case a reference to out is returned.

Return type

If dtype is not specified, it defaults to the dtype of a, unless a has an integer dtype with a precision less than that of the default platform integer. In that case, the default platform integer is used.

Returns

cumsum_along_axis – A new array holding the result is returned unless out is specified, in which case a reference to out is returned. The result has the same size as a, and the same shape as a if axis is not None or a is a 1-d array.

diagonal(offset=0, axis1=0, axis2=1)

Return specified diagonals.

LAX-backend implementation of diagonal().

The JAX version of this function may in some cases return a copy rather than a view of the input.

Original docstring below.

If a is 2-D, returns the diagonal of a with the given offset, i.e., the collection of elements of the form a[i, i+offset]. If a has more than two dimensions, then the axes specified by axis1 and axis2 are used to determine the 2-D sub-array whose diagonal is returned. The shape of the resulting array can be determined by removing axis1 and axis2 and appending an index to the right equal to the size of the resulting diagonals.

In versions of NumPy prior to 1.7, this function always returned a new, independent array containing a copy of the values in the diagonal.

In NumPy 1.7 and 1.8, it continues to return a copy of the diagonal, but depending on this fact is deprecated. Writing to the resulting array continues to work as it used to, but a FutureWarning is issued.

Starting in NumPy 1.9 it returns a read-only view on the original array. Attempting to write to the resulting array will produce an error.

In some future release, it will return a read/write view and writing to the returned array will alter your original array. The returned array will have the same type as the input array.

If you don’t write to the array returned by this function, then you can just ignore all of the above.

If you depend on the current behavior, then we suggest copying the returned array explicitly, i.e., use np.diagonal(a).copy() instead of just np.diagonal(a). This will work with both past and future versions of NumPy.

Parameters

• a (array_like) – Array from which the diagonals are taken.

• offset (int, optional) – Offset of the diagonal from the main diagonal. Can be positive or negative. Defaults to main diagonal (0).

• axis1 (int, optional) – Axis to be used as the first axis of the 2-D sub-arrays from which the diagonals should be taken. Defaults to first axis (0).

• axis2 (int, optional) – Axis to be used as the second axis of the 2-D sub-arrays from which the diagonals should be taken. Defaults to second axis (1).

Returns

array_of_diagonals – If a is 2-D, then a 1-D array containing the diagonal and of the same type as a is returned unless a is a matrix, in which case a 1-D array rather than a (2-D) matrix is returned in order to maintain backward compatibility.

If a.ndim > 2, then the dimensions specified by axis1 and axis2 are removed, and a new axis inserted at the end corresponding to the diagonal.

Return type

ndarray

dot(b, *, precision=None)

Dot product of two arrays. Specifically,

LAX-backend implementation of dot().

In addition to the original NumPy arguments listed below, also supports precision for extra control over matrix-multiplication precision on supported devices. precision may be set to None, which means default precision for the backend, a Precision enum value (Precision.DEFAULT, Precision.HIGH or Precision.HIGHEST) or a tuple of two Precision enums indicating separate precision for each argument.

Original docstring below.

• If both a and b are 1-D arrays, it is inner product of vectors (without complex conjugation).

• If both a and b are 2-D arrays, it is matrix multiplication, but using matmul() or a @ b is preferred.

• If either a or b is 0-D (scalar), it is equivalent to multiply() and using numpy.multiply(a, b) or a * b is preferred.

• If a is an N-D array and b is a 1-D array, it is a sum product over the last axis of a and b.

• If a is an N-D array and b is an M-D array (where M>=2), it is a sum product over the last axis of a and the second-to-last axis of b:

  dot(a, b)[i,j,k,m] = sum(a[i,j,:] * b[k,:,m])
  

Parameters

• a (array_like) – First argument.

• b (array_like) – Second argument.

• out (ndarray, optional) – Output argument. This must have the exact kind that would be returned if it was not used. In particular, it must have the right type, must be C-contiguous, and its dtype must be the dtype that would be returned for dot(a,b). This is a performance feature. Therefore, if these conditions are not met, an exception is raised, instead of attempting to be flexible.

Returns

output – Returns the dot product of a and b. If a and b are both scalars or both 1-D arrays then a scalar is returned; otherwise an array is returned. If out is given, then it is returned.

Return type

ndarray

flatten(order='C')

Return a contiguous flattened array.

LAX-backend implementation of ravel().

The JAX version of this function may in some cases return a copy rather than a view of the input.

Original docstring below.

A 1-D array, containing the elements of the input, is returned. A copy is made only if needed.

As of NumPy 1.10, the returned array will have the same type as the input array. (for example, a masked array will be returned for a masked array input)

Parameters

• a (array_like) – Input array. The elements in a are read in the order specified by order, and packed as a 1-D array.

• order ({'C','F', 'A', 'K'}, optional) – The elements of a are read using this index order. ‘C’ means to index the elements in row-major, C-style order, with the last axis index changing fastest, back to the first axis index changing slowest. ‘F’ means to index the elements in column-major, Fortran-style order, with the first index changing fastest, and the last index changing slowest. Note that the ‘C’ and ‘F’ options take no account of the memory layout of the underlying array, and only refer to the order of axis indexing. ‘A’ means to read the elements in Fortran-like index order if a is Fortran contiguous in memory, C-like order otherwise. ‘K’ means to read the elements in the order they occur in memory, except for reversing the data when strides are negative. By default, ‘C’ index order is used.

Returns

y – y is an array of the same subtype as a, with shape (a.size,). Note that matrices are special cased for backward compatibility, if a is a matrix, then y is a 1-D ndarray.

Return type

array_like

property imag

Return the imaginary part of the complex argument.

LAX-backend implementation of imag().

Original docstring below.

Parameters

val (array_like) – Input array.

Returns

out – The imaginary component of the complex argument. If val is real, the type of val is used for the output. If val has complex elements, the returned type is float.

Return type

ndarray or scalar

(self: xla::PyBuffer::pyobject) -> bool

max(axis=None, out=None, keepdims=None, initial=None, where=None)

Return the maximum of an array or maximum along an axis.

LAX-backend implementation of amax().

Original docstring below.

Parameters

• a (array_like) – Input data.

• axis (None or int or tuple of ints, optional) – Axis or axes along which to operate. By default, flattened input is used.

• keepdims (bool, optional) –

  If this is set to True, the axes which are reduced are left in the result as dimensions with size one. With this option, the result will broadcast correctly against the input array.

  If the default value is passed, then keepdims will not be passed through to the amax method of sub-classes of ndarray, however any non-default value will be. If the sub-class’ method does not implement keepdims any exceptions will be raised.

• initial (scalar, optional) – The minimum value of an output element. Must be present to allow computation on empty slice. See ~numpy.ufunc.reduce for details.

• where (array_like of bool, optional) – Elements to compare for the maximum. See ~numpy.ufunc.reduce for details.

Returns

amax – Maximum of a. If axis is None, the result is a scalar value. If axis is given, the result is an array of dimension a.ndim - 1.

Return type

ndarray or scalar

mean(axis=None, dtype=None, out=None, keepdims=False, *, where=None)

Compute the arithmetic mean along the specified axis.

LAX-backend implementation of mean().

Original docstring below.

Returns the average of the array elements. The average is taken over the flattened array by default, otherwise over the specified axis. float64 intermediate and return values are used for integer inputs.

Parameters

• a (array_like) – Array containing numbers whose mean is desired. If a is not an array, a conversion is attempted.

• axis (None or int or tuple of ints, optional) – Axis or axes along which the means are computed. The default is to compute the mean of the flattened array.

• dtype (data-type, optional) – Type to use in computing the mean. For integer inputs, the default is float64; for floating point inputs, it is the same as the input dtype.

• keepdims (bool, optional) –

  If this is set to True, the axes which are reduced are left in the result as dimensions with size one. With this option, the result will broadcast correctly against the input array.

  If the default value is passed, then keepdims will not be passed through to the mean method of sub-classes of ndarray, however any non-default value will be. If the sub-class’ method does not implement keepdims any exceptions will be raised.

• where (array_like of bool, optional) – Elements to include in the mean. See ~numpy.ufunc.reduce for details.

Returns

m – If out=None, returns a new array containing the mean values, otherwise a reference to the output array is returned.

Return type

ndarray, see dtype parameter above

min(axis=None, out=None, keepdims=None, initial=None, where=None)

Return the minimum of an array or minimum along an axis.

LAX-backend implementation of amin().

Original docstring below.

Parameters

• a (array_like) – Input data.

• axis (None or int or tuple of ints, optional) – Axis or axes along which to operate. By default, flattened input is used.

• keepdims (bool, optional) –

  If this is set to True, the axes which are reduced are left in the result as dimensions with size one. With this option, the result will broadcast correctly against the input array.

  If the default value is passed, then keepdims will not be passed through to the amin method of sub-classes of ndarray, however any non-default value will be. If the sub-class’ method does not implement keepdims any exceptions will be raised.

• initial (scalar, optional) – The maximum value of an output element. Must be present to allow computation on empty slice. See ~numpy.ufunc.reduce for details.

• where (array_like of bool, optional) – Elements to compare for the minimum. See ~numpy.ufunc.reduce for details.

Returns

amin – Minimum of a. If axis is None, the result is a scalar value. If axis is given, the result is an array of dimension a.ndim - 1.

Return type

ndarray or scalar

nonzero(*, size=None, fill_value=None)

Return the indices of the elements that are non-zero.

LAX-backend implementation of nonzero().

Because the size of the output of nonzero is data-dependent, the function is not typically compatible with JIT. The JAX version adds the optional size argument which specifies the size of the output arrays: it must be specified statically for jnp.nonzero to be compiled with non-static operands. If specified, the first size nonzero elements will be returned; if there are fewer nonzero elements than size indicates, the result will be padded with fill_value, which defaults to zero. fill_value may be a scalar, or a tuple specifying the fill value in each dimension.

Original docstring below.

Returns a tuple of arrays, one for each dimension of a, containing the indices of the non-zero elements in that dimension. The values in a are always tested and returned in row-major, C-style order.

To group the indices by element, rather than dimension, use argwhere, which returns a row for each non-zero element.

Note

When called on a zero-d array or scalar, nonzero(a) is treated as nonzero(atleast_1d(a)).

Deprecated since version 1.17.0: Use atleast_1d explicitly if this behavior is deliberate.

Parameters

a (array_like) – Input array.

Returns

tuple_of_arrays – Indices of elements that are non-zero.

Return type

tuple

on_device_size_in_bytes()

(self: xla::PyBuffer::pyobject) -> StatusOr[int]

platform()

(self: xla::PyBuffer::pyobject) -> str

prod(axis=None, dtype=None, out=None, keepdims=None, initial=None, where=None)

Return the product of array elements over a given axis.

LAX-backend implementation of prod().

Original docstring below.

Parameters

• a (array_like) – Input data.

• axis (None or int or tuple of ints, optional) – Axis or axes along which a product is performed. The default, axis=None, will calculate the product of all the elements in the input array. If axis is negative it counts from the last to the first axis.

• dtype (dtype, optional) – The type of the returned array, as well as of the accumulator in which the elements are multiplied. The dtype of a is used by default unless a has an integer dtype of less precision than the default platform integer. In that case, if a is signed then the platform integer is used while if a is unsigned then an unsigned integer of the same precision as the platform integer is used.

• keepdims (bool, optional) –

  If this is set to True, the axes which are reduced are left in the result as dimensions with size one. With this option, the result will broadcast correctly against the input array.

  If the default value is passed, then keepdims will not be passed through to the prod method of sub-classes of ndarray, however any non-default value will be. If the sub-class’ method does not implement keepdims any exceptions will be raised.

• initial (scalar, optional) – The starting value for this product. See ~numpy.ufunc.reduce for details.

• where (array_like of bool, optional) – Elements to include in the product. See ~numpy.ufunc.reduce for details.

Returns

product_along_axis – An array shaped as a but with the specified axis removed. Returns a reference to out if specified.

Return type

ndarray, see dtype parameter above.

ptp(axis=None, out=None, keepdims=False)

Range of values (maximum - minimum) along an axis.

LAX-backend implementation of ptp().

Original docstring below.

The name of the function comes from the acronym for ‘peak to peak’.

Warning

ptp preserves the data type of the array. This means the return value for an input of signed integers with n bits (e.g. np.int8, np.int16, etc) is also a signed integer with n bits. In that case, peak-to-peak values greater than 2**(n-1)-1 will be returned as negative values. An example with a work-around is shown below.

Parameters

• a (array_like) – Input values.

• axis (None or int or tuple of ints, optional) – Axis along which to find the peaks. By default, flatten the array. axis may be negative, in which case it counts from the last to the first axis.

• keepdims (bool, optional) –

  If this is set to True, the axes which are reduced are left in the result as dimensions with size one. With this option, the result will broadcast correctly against the input array.

  If the default value is passed, then keepdims will not be passed through to the ptp method of sub-classes of ndarray, however any non-default value will be. If the sub-class’ method does not implement keepdims any exceptions will be raised.

Returns

ptp – A new array holding the result, unless out was specified, in which case a reference to out is returned.

Return type

ndarray

ravel(order='C')

Return a contiguous flattened array.

LAX-backend implementation of ravel().

The JAX version of this function may in some cases return a copy rather than a view of the input.

Original docstring below.

A 1-D array, containing the elements of the input, is returned. A copy is made only if needed.

As of NumPy 1.10, the returned array will have the same type as the input array. (for example, a masked array will be returned for a masked array input)

Parameters

• a (array_like) – Input array. The elements in a are read in the order specified by order, and packed as a 1-D array.

• order ({'C','F', 'A', 'K'}, optional) – The elements of a are read using this index order. ‘C’ means to index the elements in row-major, C-style order, with the last axis index changing fastest, back to the first axis index changing slowest. ‘F’ means to index the elements in column-major, Fortran-style order, with the first index changing fastest, and the last index changing slowest. Note that the ‘C’ and ‘F’ options take no account of the memory layout of the underlying array, and only refer to the order of axis indexing. ‘A’ means to read the elements in Fortran-like index order if a is Fortran contiguous in memory, C-like order otherwise. ‘K’ means to read the elements in the order they occur in memory, except for reversing the data when strides are negative. By default, ‘C’ index order is used.

Returns

y – y is an array of the same subtype as a, with shape (a.size,). Note that matrices are special cased for backward compatibility, if a is a matrix, then y is a 1-D ndarray.

Return type

array_like

property real

Return the real part of the complex argument.

LAX-backend implementation of real().

Original docstring below.

Parameters

val (array_like) – Input array.

Return type

ndarray or scalar

repeat(repeats, axis=None, *, total_repeat_length=None)

Repeat elements of an array.

LAX-backend implementation of repeat().

Jax adds the optional total_repeat_length parameter which specifies the total number of repeat, and defaults to sum(repeats). It must be specified for repeat to be compilable. If sum(repeats) is larger than the specified total_repeat_length the remaining values will be discarded. In the case of sum(repeats) being smaller than the specified target length, the final value will be repeated.

Original docstring below.

Parameters

• a (array_like) – Input array.

• repeats (int or array of ints) – The number of repetitions for each element. repeats is broadcasted to fit the shape of the given axis.

• axis (int, optional) – The axis along which to repeat values. By default, use the flattened input array, and return a flat output array.

Returns

repeated_array – Output array which has the same shape as a, except along the given axis.

Return type

ndarray

round(decimals=0, out=None)

Evenly round to the given number of decimals.

LAX-backend implementation of around().

Original docstring below.

Parameters

• a (array_like) – Input data.

• decimals (int, optional) – Number of decimal places to round to (default: 0). If decimals is negative, it specifies the number of positions to the left of the decimal point.

• out (ndarray, optional) – Alternative output array in which to place the result. It must have the same shape as the expected output, but the type of the output values will be cast if necessary. See Output type determination for more details.

Returns

rounded_array – An array of the same type as a, containing the rounded values. Unless out was specified, a new array is created. A reference to the result is returned.

The real and imaginary parts of complex numbers are rounded separately. The result of rounding a float is a float.

searchsorted(v, side='left', sorter=None)

Find indices where elements should be inserted to maintain order.

LAX-backend implementation of searchsorted().

Original docstring below.

Find the indices into a sorted array a such that, if the corresponding elements in v were inserted before the indices, the order of a would be preserved.

Assuming that a is sorted:

side	returned index i satisfies
left	a[i-1] < v <= a[i]
right	a[i-1] <= v < a[i]

Parameters

• a (1-D array_like) – Input array. If sorter is None, then it must be sorted in ascending order, otherwise sorter must be an array of indices that sort it.

• v (array_like) – Values to insert into a.

• side ({'left', 'right'}, optional) – If ‘left’, the index of the first suitable location found is given. If ‘right’, return the last such index. If there is no suitable index, return either 0 or N (where N is the length of a).

• sorter (1-D array_like, optional) –

  Optional array of integer indices that sort array a into ascending order. They are typically the result of argsort.

  New in version 1.7.0.

Returns

indices – Array of insertion points with the same shape as v.

Return type

array of ints

sort(axis=- 1, kind='quicksort', order=None)

Return a sorted copy of an array.

LAX-backend implementation of sort().

Original docstring below.

Parameters

• a (array_like) – Array to be sorted.

• axis (int or None, optional) – Axis along which to sort. If None, the array is flattened before sorting. The default is -1, which sorts along the last axis.

• kind ({'quicksort', 'mergesort', 'heapsort', 'stable'}, optional) –

  Sorting algorithm. The default is ‘quicksort’. Note that both ‘stable’ and ‘mergesort’ use timsort or radix sort under the covers and, in general, the actual implementation will vary with data type. The ‘mergesort’ option is retained for backwards compatibility.

  Changed in version 1.15.0.: The ‘stable’ option was added.

• 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

sorted_array – Array of the same type and shape as a.

Return type

ndarray

split(indices_or_sections, axis=0)

Split an array into multiple sub-arrays as views into ary.

LAX-backend implementation of split().

The JAX version of this function may in some cases return a copy rather than a view of the input.

Original docstring below.

Parameters

• ary (ndarray) – Array to be divided into sub-arrays.

• indices_or_sections (int or 1-D array) –

  If indices_or_sections is an integer, N, the array will be divided into N equal arrays along axis. If such a split is not possible, an error is raised.

  If indices_or_sections is a 1-D array of sorted integers, the entries indicate where along axis the array is split. For example, [2, 3] would, for axis=0, result in

  • ary[:2]

  • ary[2:3]

  • ary[3:]

  If an index exceeds the dimension of the array along axis, an empty sub-array is returned correspondingly.

• axis (int, optional) – The axis along which to split, default is 0.

Returns

sub-arrays – A list of sub-arrays as views into ary.

Return type

list of ndarrays

Original docstring below.

Parameters

• a (array_like) – Input data.

• axis (None or int or tuple of ints, optional) –

Returns

squeezed – The input array, but with all or a subset of the dimensions of length 1 removed. This is always a itself or a view into a. Note that if all axes are squeezed, the result is a 0d array and not a scalar.

Return type

ndarray

std(axis=None, dtype=None, out=None, ddof=0, keepdims=False, *, where=None)

Compute the standard deviation along the specified axis.

LAX-backend implementation of std().

Original docstring below.

Parameters

• a (array_like) – Calculate the standard deviation of these values.

• axis (None or int or tuple of ints, optional) – Axis or axes along which the standard deviation is computed. The default is to compute the standard deviation of the flattened array.

• dtype (dtype, optional) – Type to use in computing the standard deviation. For arrays of integer type the default is float64, for arrays of float types it is the same as the array type.

• ddof (int, optional) – Means Delta Degrees of Freedom. The divisor used in calculations is N - ddof, where N represents the number of elements. By default ddof is zero.

• keepdims (bool, optional) –

  If this is set to True, the axes which are reduced are left in the result as dimensions with size one. With this option, the result will broadcast correctly against the input array.

  If the default value is passed, then keepdims will not be passed through to the std method of sub-classes of ndarray, however any non-default value will be. If the sub-class’ method does not implement keepdims any exceptions will be raised.

• where (array_like of bool, optional) – Elements to include in the standard deviation. See ~numpy.ufunc.reduce for details.

Returns

standard_deviation – If out is None, return a new array containing the standard deviation, otherwise return a reference to the output array.

LAX-backend implementation of sum().

Original docstring below.

Parameters

• a (array_like) – Elements to sum.

• dtype (dtype, optional) – The type of the returned array and of the accumulator in which the elements are summed. The dtype of a is used by default unless a has an integer dtype of less precision than the default platform integer. In that case, if a is signed then the platform integer is used while if a is unsigned then an unsigned integer of the same precision as the platform integer is used.

• keepdims (bool, optional) –

  If this is set to True, the axes which are reduced are left in the result as dimensions with size one. With this option, the result will broadcast correctly against the input array.

  If the default value is passed, then keepdims will not be passed through to the sum method of sub-classes of ndarray, however any non-default value will be. If the sub-class’ method does not implement keepdims any exceptions will be raised.

• initial (scalar, optional) – Starting value for the sum. See ~numpy.ufunc.reduce for details.

• where (array_like of bool, optional) – Elements to include in the sum. See ~numpy.ufunc.reduce for details.

Returns

Return type

ndarray

swapaxes(axis1, axis2)

Interchange two axes of an array.

LAX-backend implementation of swapaxes().

The JAX version of this function may in some cases return a copy rather than a view of the input.

Original docstring below.

Parameters

• a (array_like) – Input array.

• axis1 (int) – First axis.

• axis2 (int) – Second axis.

Returns

a_swapped – For NumPy >= 1.10.0, if a is an ndarray, then a view of a is returned; otherwise a new array is created. For earlier NumPy versions a view of a is returned only if the order of the axes is changed, otherwise the input array is returned.

Return type

ndarray

take(indices, axis=None, out=None, mode=None)

Take elements from an array along an axis.

LAX-backend implementation of take().

Original docstring below.

When axis is not None, this function does the same thing as “fancy” indexing (indexing arrays using arrays); however, it can be easier to use if you need elements along a given axis. A call such as np.take(arr, indices, axis=3) is equivalent to arr[:,:,:,indices,...].

Explained without fancy indexing, this is equivalent to the following use of ndindex, which sets each of ii, jj, and kk to a tuple of indices:

Ni, Nk = a.shape[:axis], a.shape[axis+1:]
Nj = indices.shape
for ii in ndindex(Ni):
    for jj in ndindex(Nj):
        for kk in ndindex(Nk):
            out[ii + jj + kk] = a[ii + (indices[jj],) + kk]

Parameters

• a (array_like (Ni..., M, Nk...)) – The source array.

• indices (array_like (Nj...)) – The indices of the values to extract.

• axis (int, optional) – The axis over which to select values. By default, the flattened input array is used.

• mode ({'raise', 'wrap', 'clip'}, optional) –

  Specifies how out-of-bounds indices will behave.

  • ’raise’ – raise an error (default)

  • ’wrap’ – wrap around

  • ’clip’ – clip to the range

  ’clip’ mode means that all indices that are too large are replaced by the index that addresses the last element along that axis. Note that this disables indexing with negative numbers.

Returns

out – The returned array has the same type as a.

Return type

ndarray (Ni…, Nj…, Nk…)

tile(reps)

Construct an array by repeating A the number of times given by reps.

LAX-backend implementation of tile().

Original docstring below.

If reps has length d, the result will have dimension of max(d, A.ndim).

If A.ndim < d, A is promoted to be d-dimensional by prepending new axes. So a shape (3,) array is promoted to (1, 3) for 2-D replication, or shape (1, 1, 3) for 3-D replication. If this is not the desired behavior, promote A to d-dimensions manually before calling this function.

If A.ndim > d, reps is promoted to A.ndim by pre-pending 1’s to it. Thus for an A of shape (2, 3, 4, 5), a reps of (2, 2) is treated as (1, 1, 2, 2).

Note : Although tile may be used for broadcasting, it is strongly recommended to use numpy’s broadcasting operations and functions.

Parameters

• A (array_like) – The input array.

• reps (array_like) – The number of repetitions of A along each axis.

Returns

c – The tiled output array.

Return type

ndarray

trace(offset=0, axis1=0, axis2=1, dtype=None, out=None)

Return the sum along diagonals of the array.

LAX-backend implementation of trace().

Original docstring below.

If a is 2-D, the sum along its diagonal with the given offset is returned, i.e., the sum of elements a[i,i+offset] for all i.

If a has more than two dimensions, then the axes specified by axis1 and axis2 are used to determine the 2-D sub-arrays whose traces are returned. The shape of the resulting array is the same as that of a with axis1 and axis2 removed.

Parameters

• a (array_like) – Input array, from which the diagonals are taken.

• offset (int, optional) – Offset of the diagonal from the main diagonal. Can be both positive and negative. Defaults to 0.

• axis1 (int, optional) – Axes to be used as the first and second axis of the 2-D sub-arrays from which the diagonals should be taken. Defaults are the first two axes of a.

• axis2 (int, optional) – Axes to be used as the first and second axis of the 2-D sub-arrays from which the diagonals should be taken. Defaults are the first two axes of a.

• dtype (dtype, optional) – Determines the data-type of the returned array and of the accumulator where the elements are summed. If dtype has the value None and a is of integer type of precision less than the default integer precision, then the default integer precision is used. Otherwise, the precision is the same as that of a.

• out (ndarray, optional) – Array into which the output is placed. Its type is preserved and it must be of the right shape to hold the output.

Returns

sum_along_diagonals – If a is 2-D, the sum along the diagonal is returned. If a has larger dimensions, then an array of sums along diagonals is returned.

Return type

ndarray

(self: xla::PyBuffer::pyobject) -> StatusOr[int]

var(axis=None, dtype=None, out=None, ddof=0, keepdims=False, *, where=None)

Compute the variance along the specified axis.

LAX-backend implementation of var().

Original docstring below.

Returns the variance of the array elements, a measure of the spread of a distribution. The variance is computed for the flattened array by default, otherwise over the specified axis.

Parameters

• a (array_like) – Array containing numbers whose variance is desired. If a is not an array, a conversion is attempted.

• axis (None or int or tuple of ints, optional) – Axis or axes along which the variance is computed. The default is to compute the variance of the flattened array.

• dtype (data-type, optional) – Type to use in computing the variance. For arrays of integer type the default is float64; for arrays of float types it is the same as the array type.

• ddof (int, optional) – “Delta Degrees of Freedom”: the divisor used in the calculation is N - ddof, where N represents the number of elements. By default ddof is zero.

• keepdims (bool, optional) –

  If this is set to True, the axes which are reduced are left in the result as dimensions with size one. With this option, the result will broadcast correctly against the input array.

  If the default value is passed, then keepdims will not be passed through to the var method of sub-classes of ndarray, however any non-default value will be. If the sub-class’ method does not implement keepdims any exceptions will be raised.

• where (array_like of bool, optional) – Elements to include in the variance. See ~numpy.ufunc.reduce for details.

Returns

variance – If out=None, returns a new array containing the variance; otherwise, a reference to the output array is returned.
