## Background

The [calculation library](https://github.com/brightway-lca/brightway2-calc) of the [Brightway LCA framework](https://brightway.dev/) has traditionally include matrix-building functionality. As the new capabilities in `bw_processing` have increased matrix-building complexity, this library is a refactoring to split matrix utilities from the LCA classes, which will remain in the calculation library.

`matrix_utils` supports all the features made available in `bw_processing`: static and dynamic resources, data package policies, vector and array resources. It also improves on the previous matrix building code by speeding up the mapping from data source ids to row and column ids.

### Backwards compatibility

This library presents a completely different API than the functions previously present in `bw2calc`. Most ideas become easier, or even possible; however, some things are more complicated. In particular, the notion that we have a single array that defines a matrix is no longer true - a matrix can be defined by many input arrays, and they can interact with each other (either adding to existing matrix values or replacing them altogether).

## Install

Install using pip or conda (channel `cmutel`).

Depends on numpy, scipy, pandas, bw_processing, stats_arrays.

## Usage

### `MappedMatrix` class

The primary use case for `matrix_utils` is the `MappedMatrix` class:

```python

In [1]: from matrix_utils import MappedMatrix

In [2]: mm = MappedMatrix(packages=[some_datapackage], matrix="foo")

In [3]: mm.matrix

Out[3]:

<8x8 sparse matrix of type ''

    with 11 stored elements in Compressed Sparse Row format>

```

`MappedMatrix` takes the following arguments. Note that all arguments **must be** keyword arguments:

* `packages`: list, required. List of `bw_processing` data packages. The packages must be instantiated, you can't give file locations of `PyFilesystem2` file systems.

* `matrix`: str, required. Label of matrix to build. Used to filter data in `packages`, so must be identical to the `matrix` value in the package(s).

* `use_vectors`: bool, default True. Include vector data resources when building matrices.

* `use_arrays`: bool, default True. Include array data resources when building matrices. Note that each data package resource group can only provide either vector or array data.

* `use_distributions`: bool, default False. Include probability distribution data resources when building matrices.

* `row_mapper`: `matrix_utils.ArrayMapper`, default `None`. Optional mapping class used to translate data source ids to matrix row indices. In LCA, one would reuse this mapping class to make sure the dimensions of multiple matrices align.

* `col_mapper`: `matrix_utils.ArrayMapper`, default `None`. Optional mapping class used to translate data source ids to matrix column indices. In LCA, one would reuse this mapping class to make sure the dimensions of multiple matrices align.

* `seed_override`: int, default `None`. Override the random seed given in the data package. Note that this is ignored if the data package is combinatorial.

`MappedMatrix` is iterable; calling `next()` will draw new samples from all included stochastic resources, and rebuild the matrix.

You may also find it useful to iterate through `MappedMatrix.groups`, which are instances of `ResourceGroup`, documented below.

### `ResourceGroup` class

A `bw_processing` data package is essentially a metadata file and a bag of data resources. These resources are *grouped*, for multiple resources are needed to build one matrix, or one component of one matrix. For example, one needs not only the data vector, but also the row and column indices to build a simple matrix. One could also have a `flip` vector, in another file, used to flip the signs of data elements before matrix insertion.

The `ResourceGroup` class provides a single interface to these data files and their metadata. `ResourceGroup` instances are created automatically by `MappedMatrix`, and available via `MappedMatrix.groups`. The [source code](https://github.com/brightway-lca/matrix_utils/) is pretty readable, and in general you probably don't need to worry about this low-level class, but the following could be useful:

* `ResourceGroup.data_original`: The data as it is present in the datapackage, before masking (i.e. the Numpy data vector or array, or the data interface). This is the raw input data, duplicate elements are not aggregated (if applicable).

* `ResourceGroup.data_current`: The data sample used (before aggregation) to build the matrix. It is both masked and flipped.

* `ResourceGroup.row|col_mapped`: Mapped row and column indices. Has the same length as the datapackage resource, but uses `-1` for values which weren't mapped.

* `ResourceGroup.row|col_masked`: The data after the custom filter and mapping mask have been applied.

* `rResourceGroup.row|col_matrix`: Row and column indices (but not data) for insertion into the matrix. These indices are after aggregation within the resource group (if any).

* `ResourceGroup.calculate(vector=None)`: Function to recalculate matrix row, column, and data vectors. Uses the current state of the indexers, but re-draws values from data iterators. If `vector` is given, use this instead of the given data source.

* `ResourceGroup.indexer`: The instance of the `Indexer` class applicable for this `ResourceGroup`. Only used for data arrays.

* `ResourceGroup.ncols`: The integer number of columns in a data array. Returns `None` if a data vector is present.
