I'm trying to close issues that aren't active — please reopen with a MCVE if this is still an issue.

Hello @zxdawn and @JavierRuano:

I am new to python. And I've been working on a different approach to this issue of ranking data on 3D array. I believe I am close to a solution. I am able to generate ranks on a 3D array, but I can't figure out how to map those ranks to reorder the data from lowest to highest using the produced indexes. Perhaps you might know what needs to happen next?

Cheers, -Jonathan

code: import xarray as xr import os import numpy as np from xarray import DataArray from dask.distributed import Client c = Client()

I am trying to produce a simpler version:

coding: utf-8

In[1]:

import xarray as xr import os import numpy as np from xarray import DataArray

In[2]:

from dask.distributed import Client c = Client()

In[19]:

def calculate_rank(x): return x.rank(dim='time')

In[4]:

lat = 2

In[5]:

lon = 3

In[6]:

time = 5

In[7]:

data = [[[ 29, 19, 8], [ 12, 7, 21]],

   [[ 3,  4,  2],
    [ 18, 10, 24]],

   [[6, 28, 14],
    [15, 16, 17]],

   [[9, 1, 20],
    [5, 27, 26]],

   [[11, 25, 23],
    [22, 13, 0]]]

In[8]:

data_xr = xr.DataArray(data, dims=['time', 'lat', 'lon'], coords={'time': np.arange(time)})

In[9]:

data_xr.values

Groupby on all of the data

In[10]:

stacked_object = data_xr.stack(gridcell=['lat','lon'])#.chunk({'gridcell':500})

In[11]:

stacked_object.load()

In[20]:

TSA_Rank = stacked_object.groupby('gridcell').apply(calculate_rank).unstack()

In[21]:

TSA_Rank

In[22]:

TSA_Rank.values array([[[5., 3., 2.], [2., 1., 3.]],

   [[1., 2., 1.],
    [4., 2., 4.]],

   [[2., 5., 3.],

   [[3., 1., 4.],
    [1., 5., 5.]],

   [[4., 4., 5.],
    [5., 3., 1.]]])

data_xr.values array([[[29, 19, 8], [12, 7, 21]],

   [[ 3,  4,  2],
    [18, 10, 24]],

   [[11, 25, 23],

@JavierRuano I find the simpler solution from a similar question in stack overflow.

sort_pair = np.take_along_axis(pair.values, cld.argsort(axis=0), axis=0)

Complete example

``` import xarray as xr import numpy as np

x = 4 y = 2 z = 4

data = np.arange(xyz).reshape(z, y, x)

3d array with coords

cld_1 = xr.DataArray(data, dims=['z', 'y', 'x'], coords={'z': np.arange(z)})

2d array without coords

cld_2 = xr.DataArray(np.arange(xy).reshape(y, x)1.5+1, dims=['y', 'x'])

expand 2d to 3d

cld_2 = cld_2.expand_dims(z=[4])

concat

cld = xr.concat([cld_1, cld_2], dim='z')

paired array

pair = cld.copy(data=np.arange(xy(z+1)).reshape(z+1, y, x))

sort_pair = np.take_along_axis(pair.values, cld.argsort(axis=0), axis=0)

print(cld) print(pair) print(sort_pair) ```

Output: ``` <xarray.DataArray (z: 5, y: 2, x: 4)> array([[[ 0. , 1. , 2. , 3. ], [ 4. , 5. , 6. , 7. ]],

   [[ 8. ,  9. , 10. , 11. ],
    [12. , 13. , 14. , 15. ]],

   [[16. , 17. , 18. , 19. ],
    [20. , 21. , 22. , 23. ]],

   [[24. , 25. , 26. , 27. ],
    [28. , 29. , 30. , 31. ]],

   [[ 1. ,  2.5,  4. ,  5.5],
    [ 7. ,  8.5, 10. , 11.5]]])

   [[ 8,  9, 10, 11],
    [12, 13, 14, 15]],

   [[16, 17, 18, 19],
    [20, 21, 22, 23]],

   [[24, 25, 26, 27],
    [28, 29, 30, 31]],

   [[32, 33, 34, 35],
    [36, 37, 38, 39]]])

[[ 8 9 10 11] [12 13 14 15]]

[[16 17 18 19] [20 21 22 23]]

[[24 25 26 27] ```

Note, I have to use pair.values instead of pair in the last sorting step. Otherwise, I will get this error:

IndexError: Unlabeled multi-dimensional array cannot be used for indexing: y

I need to use df.index = pd.MultiIndex.from_arrays(.....). See https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/issues/33420

@JavierRuano When the dataframe is converted back to dataset, the values aren't changed because of the unchanged Multiindex in dataframe ... I have tried this: df = ds.to_dataframe() new_df = df.sort_values(by=['x', 'y', 'cld']) new_df.index.set_levels(list(np.arange(ds['cld'].sizes['z'])), level='z', inplace=True) But, it doesn't work. Still trying ...

Yes, but with a lot of information, dask is the only option, and working well with the index. https://github.com/dask/dask/issues/958

@JavierRuano https://github.com/JavierRuano Nice suggestion! I combine them to dataset, convert it to dataframe and then sort_values. Finally, convert the dataframe back to dataset:

ds = cld.to_dataset(name='cld') ds['pair'] = pair

df = ds.to_dataframe() new_ds = df.sort_values(by='cld').to_xarray().transpose()

You could access directly to data as ndarray and you could transform dataarray into a dataframe of pandas. Pandas has sort_values. You searched sorting values according z, it is shown in z index.

With more dataArray you could read about Dataset concept...

but i dont develop xarray, i am only user of that module, perhaps you search another type of answer.

http://xarray.pydata.org/en/stable/generated/xarray.Dataset.sortby.html according to values of 1-D dataarrays that share dimension with calling object.

@JavierRuano https://github.com/JavierRuano Thank you very much. This example is a special case. If the order of z is different for each x and y, do we need to create a tmp DataArray to save the result of looping x and y ?

.sortby() only supports sorting DataArray by coords values. I'm trying to sort one DataArray (cld) by data values along one dim and sort another DataArray (pair) by the same order. MCVE Code Sample

import xarray as xrimport numpy as np

x = 4 y = 2 z = 4 data = np.arange(xyz).reshape(z, y, x)

3d array with coords

cld_1 = xr.DataArray(data, dims=['z', 'y', 'x'], coords={'z': np.arange(z)})

2d array without coords

cld_2 = xr.DataArray(np.arange(xy).reshape(y, x)1.5+1, dims=['y', 'x'])

expand 2d to 3d

cld_2 = cld_2.expand_dims(z=[4])

concat

cld = xr.concat([cld_1, cld_2], dim='z')

paired array

pair = cld.copy(data=np.arange(xy(z+1)).reshape(z+1, y, x)) print(cld)print(pair)

Output
