How to normalize an array in NumPy?

Machine Learning

I would like to have the norm of one NumPy array. More specifically, I am looking for an equivalent version of this function

def normalize(v): 

norm = np.linalg.norm(v) 

if norm == 0: 

return v 

return v / norm

Is there something like that in sklearn or numpy?

 

This function works in a situation where v is the 0 vector.

The below code can be used to normalize an array in NumPy.


x = np.random.rand(1000)*10


norma = x / np.linalg.norm(x)


normb = normalize(x[:,np.newaxis], axis=0).ravel()


print np.all(norma == normb)


# True

Here is the code that can give you optimal performance.



import numpy as np



def normalized(a, axis=-1, order=2):


    l2 = np.atleast_1d(np.linalg.norm(a, order, axis))


    l2[l2==0] = 1


    return a / np.expand_dims(l2, axis)



A = np.random.randn(3,3,3)


print(normalized(A,0))


print(normalized(A,1))


print(normalized(A,2))



print(normalized(np.arange(3)[:,None]))


print(normalized(np.arange(3)))
