Thinking in arrays#
Originally presented as part of HSF-India training on December 18, 2023.
So far, all the arrays we’ve dealt with have been rectangular (in $n$ dimensions; “rectilinear”).
What if we had data like this?

It might be possible to turn these datasets into tabular form using surrogate keys and database normalization, but
they could be inconvenient or less efficient in that form, depending on what we want to do,
they were very likely given in a ragged/untidy form. You can’t ignore the data-cleaning step!
Dealing with these datasets as JSON or Python objects is inefficient for the same reason as for lists of numbers.
We want arbitrary data structure with array-oriented interface and performance…

Note that the Vector library works with Awkward Arrays, if it is imported this way:
import vector
vector.register_awkward()
Records with name="Momentum4D" and fields with coordinate names (px, py, pz, E or pt, phi, eta, m) automatically get Vector properties and methods.

To make histograms or other plots, we need numbers without structure, so ak.flatten() the array.
from hist import Hist
Hist.new.Regular(100, 0, 100, name=" ").Double().fill(
ak.flatten(events.electron.pt)
).plot();
Each event has a different number of electrons and muons (ak.num() to check).
ak.num(events.electron), ak.num(events.muon)
(<Array [0, 4, 2, 1, 4, 1, 1, 1, ..., 0, 3, 0, 1, 0, 2, 2] type='299973 * int64'>,

So what happens if we try to compute something with the electrons’ $p_T$ and the muons’ $\eta$?

]Awkward Array has two combinatorial primitives:
ak.cartesian() takes a Cartesian product of lists from $N$ different arrays, producing an array of lists of $N$-tuples.
ak.combinations() takes $N$ samples without replacement of lists from a single array, producing an array of lists of $N$-tuples.
numbers = ak.Array([[1, 2, 3], [], [4]])
letters = ak.Array([["a", "b"], ["c"], ["d", "e"]])
