numpy.unique_inverse

numpy.unique_inverse(x)

Find the unique elements of x and indices to reconstruct x.

This function is Array API compatible alternative to:

>>> x = np.array([1, 1, 2])
>>> np.unique(x, return_inverse=True, equal_nan=False)
(array([1, 2]), array([0, 0, 1]))

Parameters:

xarray_like

Input array. It will be flattened if it is not already 1-D.

Returns:

outnamedtuple

The result containing:

• values - The unique elements of an input array.

• inverse_indices - The indices from the set of unique elements that reconstruct x.
