Does SystemML support logical indexing? For example if X is a numerical matrix with 2 columns and n rows (in my case n ~ 35 million). I'd like to split the matrix row-wise according to values of the first column. This is useful when I need to find distributions of subgroups of population. In R I can do
Y = X[ X[ ,1] > 10, ] OR ind = which(X[ ,1] > 10) Y = X[ind, ] It seems neither syntex works in SystemML. I noticed there's an aggregate() function for SystemML, but it supports coded categorical variable. Perhaps one way to do that is creating an indicator n by 1 matrix Z that takes values 1 and 2 where 1 corresponds to X[, 1] <= 10 and 2 corresponds to X[,1] > 10. Then aggregate() X[,2] with respect to Z. It seems transform() with 'bin' option is one obvious way to create such a Z, however the 'bin' method only supports 'equi-width' currently. Is looping through X[,1] the best option? Maybe I missed some other convenient functions. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Best, Ethan
