librosa.util.sparsify_rows¶

librosa.util.sparsify_rows(x, *, quantile=0.01, dtype=None)[source]¶

Return a row-sparse matrix approximating the input

Parameters

xnp.ndarray [ndim <= 2]: The input matrix to sparsify.
quantilefloat in [0, 1.0): Percentage of magnitude to discard in each row of x
dtypenp.dtype, optional: The dtype of the output array. If not provided, then x.dtype will be used.

Returns

x_sparsescipy.sparse.csr_matrix [shape=x.shape]

Row-sparsified approximation of x

If x.ndim == 1, then x is interpreted as a row vector, and x_sparse.shape == (1, len(x)).

Raises

ParameterError

If x.ndim > 2

If quantile lies outside [0, 1.0)

Notes

This function caches at level 40.
