how to generate all possible combinations of a 14x10 matrix containing only 1's and 0's

Question

I\'m working on a problem and one solution would require an input of every 14x10 matrix that is possible to be made up of 1\'s and 0\'s... how can I generate these so that I can

Answer 1

Depending on what you want to accomplish with the generated matrices, you might be better off generating a random sample and running a number of simulations. Something like:

matrix_samples = []
# generate 10 matrices
for i in range(10):
    sample = numpy.random.binomial(1, .5, 14*10)
    sample.shape = (14, 10)
    matrix_samples.append(sample)

You could do this a number of times to see how results vary across simulations. Of course, you could also modify the code to ensure that there are no repeats in a sample set, again depending on what you're trying to accomplish.
