## Matrix Utilities¶

SimPEG.utils.mat_utils.diagEst(matFun, n, k=None, approach='Probing')[source]

Estimate the diagonal of a matrix, A. Note that the matrix may be a function which returns A times a vector.

Three different approaches have been implemented:

1. Probing: cyclic permutations of vectors with 1’s and 0’s (default)

2. Ones: random +/- 1 entries

3. Random: random vectors

Parameters
• matFun (callable) – takes a (numpy.ndarray) and multiplies it by a matrix to estimate the diagonal

• n (int) – size of the vector that should be used to compute matFun(v)

• k (int) – number of vectors to be used to estimate the diagonal

• approach (str) – approach to be used for getting vectors

Return type

numpy.ndarray

Returns

est_diag(A)

SimPEG.utils.mat_utils.dip_azimuth2cartesian(dip, azm_N)[source]

Function converting degree angles for dip and azimuth from north to a 3-components in cartesian coordinates.

INPUT dip : Value or vector of dip from horizontal in DEGREE azm_N : Value or vector of azimuth from north in DEGREE

Creates a vector containing the sphere indices in the cell centers mesh. Returns a tuple

The sphere is defined by the points

p0, describe the position of the center of the cell

r, describe the radius of the sphere.

ccMesh represents the cell-centered mesh

The points p0 must live in the the same dimensional space as the mesh.

SimPEG.utils.model_builder.defineTwoLayers(ccMesh, depth, vals=None)[source]

### The API¶

class SimPEG.utils.counter_utils.Counter[source]

Counter allows anything that calls it to record iterations and timings in a simple way.

Also has plotting functions that allow quick recalls of data.

If you want to use this, import count or timeIt and use them as decorators on class methods.

class MyClass(object):
def __init__(self, url):
self.counter = Counter()

@count
def MyMethod(self):
pass

@timeIt
def MySecondMethod(self):
pass

c = MyClass('blah')
for i in range(100): c.MyMethod()
for i in range(300): c.MySecondMethod()
c.counter.summary()

count(prop)[source]

Increases the count of the property.

countTic(prop)[source]

Times a property call, this is the init call.

countToc(prop)[source]

Times a property call, this is the end call.

summary()[source]

Provides a text summary of the current counters and timers.
