Python looping list

I have function 1

def predict(x, y):
    z = []
    for i in x:
        if i >= y:
            z.append(1)
        else:
            z.append(0)
    return z

Now, for each thresholds value, I want to use that and pred_probs to call my first function and then populate the empty lists.
so the first call would be predict(pred_probs, .0.00). the second call in the loop would be predict(pred_probs, 0.25) and so on. each loop would append the output the lists

   pred_1 = []
    pred_2 = []
    pred_3 = []
    pred_4 = []
    pred_5 = []
    thresholds = [0.00, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00]
    pred_probs = [0.875, 0.325, 0.6, 0.09, 0.4]

    for i in thresholds:
        pred =  predict(pred_probs,i)
        pred1.append(pred)

The desired outcome would be

pred_1 = [1,1,1,1,1]
pred_2 = [1,1,1,0,1]
pred_3 = [1,0,1,0,0]
pred_4 = [1,0,0,0,0]
pred_5 = [0,0,0,0,0]

the problem is that I’m not sure how to access the lists individually.

this is the output i receive:

[1, 1, 1, 1, 1]
[1, 1, 1, 0, 1]
[1, 0, 1, 0, 0]
[1, 0, 0, 0, 0]
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0] 

however, i’m not sure how to take the first list and assign it to pred_1 and then son

>Solution :

Here is how you could do exactly what you asked.

for i, arr in zip(thresholds, [pred_1, pred_2, pred_3, pred_4, pred_5]):
    pred = predict(pred_probs, i)
    arr.extend(pred)

However, you may consider whether 5 lists is really what you want. It might be easier to do

pred = []
for i in thresholds:
    vals = predict(pred_probs, i)
    pred.append(vals)
print(pred)

This will give

[[1, 1, 1, 1, 1],
 [1, 1, 1, 0, 1],
 [1, 0, 1, 0, 0],
 [1, 0, 0, 0, 0],
 [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]]
