NumPy: Subtract the mean of each row of a given matrix

NumPy: Array Object Exercise-182 with Solution

Write a NumPy program to subtract the mean of each row of a given matrix.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

# Importing the NumPy library
import numpy as np

# Displaying the message indicating the original matrix
print("Original matrix:\n")

# Creating a random matrix of size (5, 10)
X = np.random.rand(5, 10)

# Displaying the original matrix
print(X)

# Displaying the message indicating subtraction of the mean of each row from the matrix
print("\nSubtract the mean of each row of the said matrix:\n")

# Calculating Y by subtracting the mean of each row from the matrix X
Y = X - X.mean(axis=1, keepdims=True)

# Displaying the resulting matrix Y
print(Y)

Sample Output:

Original matrix:

Explanation:

In the above code -

X = np.random.rand(5, 10): This code creates a 5x10 NumPy array X with random values between 0 and 1.

X.mean(axis=1, keepdims=True): This line calculates the mean of each row in the X array. The axis=1 parameter specifies that the mean should be computed along the rows. The keepdims=True parameter ensures that the result has the same dimensions as the original array, which makes it suitable for broadcasting in the subsequent subtraction operation.

Y = X - X.mean(axis=1, keepdims=True): This line subtracts the mean of each row from the respective row elements. Since the row means have the same dimensions as the original array, the subtraction is performed element-wise, resulting in a new NumPy array Y with the same shape as X. Each element in Y represents the difference between the corresponding element in X and the mean of its row.
