Fancy indexing in numpy

Question

I am basically trying to do something like this but without the for-loop... I tried with np.put_along_axis but it requires times to be of dimension 10 (same as last index of src).

import numpy as np

src = np.zeros((5,5,10), dtype=np.float64)

ix = np.array([4, 0, 0])
iy = np.array([1, 3, 4])

times = np.array([1 ,2, 4])
values = np.array([25., 10., -65.])

for i, time in enumerate(times):
    src[ix, iy, time] += values[i]

Answer 1

One approach is to use np.add.at, preparing the indices first (as below):

r = len(values)
indices = (np.tile(ix, r), np.tile(iy,  r), np.repeat(times, r))
np.add.at(src, indices, np.repeat(values, r))
print(src)

Output
