Hey, it is faster for nx=4, ny=100
def baseshuffle(nx, ny):
x = np.arange(nx)
res = np.zeros((nx,ny))
for sim in range(ny):
res[:,sim] = np.random.permutation(x)
return res
>> timeit baseshuffle(4,100)
1000 loops, best of 3: 1.11 ms per loop
>> timeit weirdshuffle(4,100)
10000 loops, best of 3: 127 µs per loop
OK, who can cut that time in half? My first try looks clunky.
