背景: 我有一系列连续的,带时间戳的数据。 数据序列中有孔,有些大,有些只有一个缺失值 每当孔只是一个缺失值时,我想使用虚拟值修补孔(较大的孔将被忽略)。
我想使用延迟生成修补序列,因此我使用Seq.unfold。
我已经制作了两个版本的方法来修补数据中的漏洞。
第一个消耗带有洞的数据的序列,并产生修补的序列。这就是我想要的,但是当输入序列中的元素数量超过1000时,方法运行速度非常慢,并且输入序列包含的元素越多,它就会越来越差。
第二种方法使用带孔的数据的列表并生成修补的序列并且运行速度很快。然而,这不是我想要的,因为这会强制在内存中实例化整个输入列表。
我想使用(sequence - > sequence)方法而不是(list - > sequence)方法,以避免在内存中同时存在整个输入列表。
问题:
1)为什么第一种方法如此缓慢(使用较大的输入列表逐渐变得更糟) (我怀疑它与使用Seq.skip 1重复创建新序列有关,但我不确定)
2)如何使用输入序列而不是输入列表快速修补数据中的空洞?

每当你使用Seq.hd
和Seq.skip 1
拆分seq时,你几乎肯定陷入了进入O(N ^ 2)的陷阱。 IEnumerable<T>
是一种非常类型的递归算法(包括例如Seq.unfold
),因为这些算法几乎总是具有“第一个元素”和“其余元素”的结构,并且没有有效的方法来创建表示“剩余元素”的新IEnumerable
。 (IEnumerator<T>
是可行的,但其API编程模型不是那么有趣/易于使用。)
如果您需要原始数据“保持懒惰”,那么您应该使用LazyList(在F#PowerPack中)。如果你不需要懒惰,那么你应该使用像'list'这样的具体数据类型,你可以在O(1)中'尾随'。
(您还应该查看Avoiding stack overflow (with F# infinite sequences of sequences)作为FYI,但它只适用于此问题。)

Seq.skip构造一个新序列。我认为这就是为什么你的原始方法很慢。
我的第一个倾向是使用序列表达式和Seq.pairwise。这是快速且易于阅读的。
let insertDummyValuesWhereASingleValueIsMissingSeq (timeBetweenContiguousValues : TimeSpan) (values : seq<(DateTime * float)>) =
let sizeOfHolesToPatch = timeBetweenContiguousValues.Add timeBetweenContiguousValues // Only insert dummy-values when the gap is twice the normal
seq {
yield Seq.hd values
for ((prevTime, _), ((currentTime, _) as next)) in Seq.pairwise values do
let timeDiffBetweenPrevAndCurrentValue = currentTime.Subtract(prevTime)
if timeDiffBetweenPrevAndCurrentValue = sizeOfHolesToPatch then
let dummyValue = (prevTime.Add timeBetweenContiguousValues, 42.0) // 42 is chosen here for obvious reasons, making this comment superfluous
yield dummyValue
yield next
}
