Dataframe Wrangling with Dates and Periods in Pandas - python

There are a number of things I would typically do in SQL and excel that I'm trying to do with Pandas. There are a few different wrangling problems here, combined into one question because they all have the same goal.
I have a data frame df in python with three columns:
| EventID | PictureID | Date
0 | 1 | A | 2010-01-01
1 | 2 | A | 2010-02-01
2 | 3 | A | 2010-02-15
3 | 4 | B | 2010-01-01
4 | 5 | C | 2010-02-01
5 | 6 | C | 2010-02-15
EventIDs are unique. PictureIDs are not unique, although PictureID + Date are distinct.
I. First I would like to add a new column:
df['period'] = the month and year that the event falls into beginning 2010-01.
II. Second, I would like to 'melt' the data into some new dataframe that counts the number of events for a given PictureID in a given period. I'll use examples with just two periods.
| PictureID | Period | Count
0 | A | 2010-01 | 1
1 | A | 2010-02 | 2
2 | B | 2010-01 | 1
3 | C | 2010-02 | 2
So that I can then stack (?) this new data frame into something that provides period counts for all unique PictureIDs:
| PictureID | 2010-01 | 2010-02
0 | A | 1 | 2
1 | B | 1 | 0
2 | C | 0 | 2
My sense is that pandas is built do to this sort of thing easily, is that correct?
[Edit: Removed a confused third part.]

For the first two parts you can do:
>>> df['Period'] = df['Date'].map(lambda d: d.strftime('%Y-%m'))
>>> df
EventID PictureID Date Period
0 1 A 2010-01-01 00:00:00 2010-01
1 2 A 2010-02-01 00:00:00 2010-02
2 3 A 2010-02-15 00:00:00 2010-02
3 4 B 2010-01-01 00:00:00 2010-01
4 5 C 2010-02-01 00:00:00 2010-02
5 6 C 2010-02-15 00:00:00 2010-02
>>> grouped = df[['Period', 'PictureID']].groupby('Period')
>>> grouped['PictureID'].value_counts().unstack(0).fillna(0)
Period 2010-01 2010-02
A 1 2
B 1 0
C 0 2
For the third part, either I haven't understood the question well, or you haven't posted the correct numbers in the example. since the count for the A in the 3rd row should be 2? and for the C in the 6th row should be 1. If the period is six months...
Either way you should do something like this:
>>> ts = df.set_index('Date')
>>> ts.resample('6M', ...)
Update: This is a pretty ugly way to do it, I think I saw a better way to do it, but I can't find the SO question. But, this will also get the job done...
def for_half_year(row, data):
date = row['Date']
pid = row['PictureID']
# Do this 6 month checking better
if '__start' not in data or (date - data['__start']).days > 6*30:
# Reset values
for key in data:
data[key] = 0
data['__start'] = date
data[pid] = data.get(pid, -1) + 1
return data[pid]
df['PastSix'] = df.apply(for_half_year, args=({},), axis=1)

List in pandas dataframe columns

I have the following pandas dataframe
| A | B |
| :-|:------:|
| 1 | [2,3,4]|
| 2 | np.nan |
| 3 | np.nan |
| 4 | 10 |
I would like to unlist the first row and place those values sequentially in the subsequent rows. The outcome will look like this:
| A | B |
| :-|:------:|
| 1 | 2 |
| 2 | 3 |
| 3 | 4 |
| 4 | 10 |
How can I achieve this in a very large dataset with this phenomena occurring in many rows?
If the number of NaN values serve as a "slack" space, so that list elements can slot in, i.e. if the lengths match, then you can explode columns "B", then drop NaN values with dropna, reset index and assign back to "B":
df['B'] = df['B'].explode().dropna().reset_index(drop=True)
Output:
A B
0 1 2
1 2 3
2 3 4
3 4 10
As the number of consecutive NaNs does not match the length of the list, you can make groups starting with non NaN elements and explode while keeping the length of the group constant.
I used a slightly different example for clarity (I also assigned to a different column):
df['C'] = (df['B']
.groupby(df['B'].notna().cumsum())
.apply(lambda s: s.explode().iloc[:len(s)])
.values
)
Output:
A B C
0 1 [2, 3, 4] 2
1 2 NaN 3
2 3 NaN 4
3 4 NaN NaN
4 5 10 10
Used input:
df = pd.DataFrame({'A': range(1,6),
'B': [[2,3,4], np.nan, np.nan, np.nan, 10]
})

in a few conditions, compare row with a previous row and drop rows with condition in python pandas

I have a concept of what I need to do, but I can't write the right code to run, please take a look and give some advice.
step 1. find the rows that contains values in the second column
step 2. with those rows, compare the value in the first column with their previous row
step 3. drop the rows with larger first column value
|missing | diff |
|--------|------|
| 0 | nan |
| 1 | 60 |
| 1 | nan |
| 0 | nan |
| 0 | nan |
| 1 | 180 |
| 1 | nan |
| 0 | 120 |
eg. I want to compare the missing values with the rows values in diff [120,180,60] and their previous rows. in the end, the desire dataframe will look like
|missing | diff |
|--------|------|
| 0 | nan |
| 1 | nan |
| 0 | nan |
| 0 | nan |
| 0 | 120 |
update question according to the answer, got the same df as original df
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
data={'missing':[0,1,1,0,0,1,1,0],'diff':[np.nan,60,np.nan,np.nan,np.nan,180,np.nan,120]}
df=pd.DataFrame(data)
df
missing diff
0 0 NaN
1 1 60.0
2 1 NaN
3 0 NaN
4 0 NaN
5 1 180.0
6 1 NaN
7 0 120.0
if df['diff'][ind]!=np.nan:
if ind!=0:
if df['missing'][ind]>df['missing'][ind-1]:
df=df.drop(ind,0)
else:
df=df.drop(ind-1,0)
df
missing diff
0 0 NaN
1 1 60.0
2 1 NaN
3 0 NaN
4 0 NaN
5 1 180.0
6 1 NaN
7 0 120.0
IIUC, you can try:
m = df['diff'].notna()
df = (
pd.concat([
df[df['diff'].isna()],
df[m][df[m.shift(-1).fillna(False)]['missing'].values >
df[m]['missing'].values]
])
)
OUTPUT:
missing diff
1 0 <NA>
3 1 <NA>
4 0 <NA>
5 0 <NA>
7 1 <NA>
8 0 120
This will work for sure
for ind in df.index:
if np.isnan(df['diff'][ind])==False:
if ind!=0:
if df['missing'][ind]>df['missing'][ind-1]:
df=df.drop(ind,0)
else:
df=df.drop(ind-1,0)
This will work
for ind in df.index:
if df['diff'][ind]!="nan":
if ind!=0:
if df['missing'][ind]>df['missing'][ind-1]:
df=df.drop(ind,0)
else:
df=df.drop(ind-1,0)
import pandas as pd #import pandas
#define dictionary
data={'missing':[0,1,1,0,0,1,1,0],'diff':[nan,60,nan,nan,nan,180,nan,120]}
#dictionary to dataframe
df=pd.DataFrame(data)
print(df)
#for each row in dataframe
for ind in df.index:
if df['diff'][ind]!="nan":
if ind!=0:
#only each row whose diff value is a number
#find the rows that contains values in the second column and compare it with previous value
if df['missing'][ind]>df['missing'][ind-1]:
#drop the rows with larger first column value
df=df.drop(ind,0)
else:
df=df.drop(ind-1,0)
print(df)

Compare each element in groupby() group to the unique values in that group and get the location of equality

I have a dataframe with subjects and dates for a certain measurement. For each subject I want to find if the date in each row of the group corresponds to the first (1), second (2), third (3)... unique date value for that subject.
To clarify this is what I am looking for:
|subject | date | order|
|A | 01.01.2020 | 1|
|A | 01.01.2020 | 1|
|A | 02.01.2020 | 2|
|B | 01.01.2020 | 1|
|B | 02.01.2020 | 2|
|B | 02.01.2020 | 2|
I though about something as bellow, but the for loop is not admissible in the apply function:
df['order']=df.groupby(['subject']).apply(lambda x: i if x['date']=value for i, value in enumerate(x['date'].unique()))
Is there a straightforward way to do this?
Use factorize in GroupBy.transform :
df['order1']=df.groupby(['subject'])['date'].transform(lambda x: pd.factorize(x)[0]) + 1
print (df)
subject date order order1
0 A 01.01.2020 1 1
1 A 01.01.2020 1 1
2 A 02.01.2020 2 2
3 B 01.01.2020 1 1
4 B 02.01.2020 2 2
5 B 02.01.2020 2 2
Or you can use GroupBy.rank, but is necessary convert column date to datetimes:
df['order2']=df.groupby(['subject'])['date'].rank(method='dense')
print (df)
subject date order order1
0 A 2020-01-01 1 1.0
1 A 2020-01-01 1 1.0
2 A 2020-02-01 2 2.0
3 B 2020-01-01 1 1.0
4 B 2020-02-01 2 2.0
5 B 2020-02-01 2 2.0
Difference of solution is if changed order of datetimes:
print (df)
subject date order (disregarding temporal order of date)
0 A 2020-01-01 1
1 A 2020-03-01 2 <- changed datetime for sample
2 A 2020-02-01 3
3 B 2020-01-01 1
4 B 2020-02-01 2
5 B 2020-02-01 2
df['order1']=df.groupby(['subject'])['date'].transform(lambda x: pd.factorize(x)[0]) + 1
df['order2']=df.groupby(['subject'])['date'].rank(method='dense')
print (df)
subject date order order1 order2
0 A 2020-01-01 1 1 1.0
1 A 2020-03-01 1 2 3.0
2 A 2020-02-01 2 3 2.0
3 B 2020-01-01 1 1 1.0
4 B 2020-02-01 2 2 2.0
5 B 2020-02-01 2 2 2.0
In summary: use the first method if you don't care about the temporal order of date being reflected in the order output, or the second method if the temporal order matters and should reflect in the order output.

grouping based on time frequency and string column?

I am trying to combine a set of strings based on the time and an ID, I want to group the data using a 5 minute interval from the first time occurance.
Data:
ID | Q | Timestamp |
1 | a > b | 24/06/2017 18:11|
1 | b > b | 24/06/2017 18:12|
1 | b > c | 24/06/2017 18:13|
1 | c > d | 24/06/2017 18:14|
1 | c > e | 24/06/2017 18:17|
2 | a > b | 24/06/2017 18:12|
2 | b > c | 24/06/2017 18:15|
Desired Result:
ID | Q | Timestamp |
1 | a > b > b > b > b > c > c > d| 24/06/2017 18:11|
1 | c > e | 24/06/2017 18:17|
2 | a > b > b > c | 24/06/2017 18:12|
I am currently trying to use this:
grouped = df.groupby([pd.Grouper(freq='5M'), 'ID']).agg(lambda x: '>'.join(set(x)))
However, its not quite there, this is breaking the timestamp and failing to join in time order. It appears to only do the first timeframe also.
Any help would be much appriciated.
you are grouping with 5 month frequency:
5M = 5 months.
5min or 5T = 5 minutes.
see this time_aliases
if you will do it with 5T frequency you will get results with minutes that can be equally divided by 5 (in this case starting at 18:10), for example:
ids = [*[1]*5, 2]
q = [f'{i:02}' for i in range(6)]
dates = pd.date_range('2017-06-24 18:11', periods=6, freq='1min')
df = pd.DataFrame({'ids':ids, 'q':q,'dates':dates,})
df
ids q dates
0 1 00 2017-06-24 18:11:00
1 1 01 2017-06-24 18:12:00
2 1 02 2017-06-24 18:13:00
3 1 03 2017-06-24 18:14:00
4 1 04 2017-06-24 18:15:00
5 2 05 2017-06-24 18:16:00
grouping with 5 min frequency gives you this
grouped = df.groupby([pd.Grouper(key='dates',freq='5min'), 'ids']).agg(lambda x: '>'.join(set(x)))
grouped
q
dates ids
2017-06-24 18:10:00 1 02>03>01>00
2017-06-24 18:15:00 1 04
2 05
if you want 18:11 to be your start date you can offset your data and then offset is back:
df['dates'] -= pd.offsets.Minute(1)
grouped = df.groupby([pd.Grouper(key='dates',freq='5min'), 'ids']).agg(lambda x: '>'.join(set(x))).reset_index()
grouped['dates'] += pd.offsets.Minute(1)
grouped
dates ids q
0 2017-06-24 18:11:00 1 04>00>03>02>01
1 2017-06-24 18:16:00 2 05
thus achieving the desired result.
a more general answer is offsetting the minimum date to the nearest minute that can equally divided by n (in your case n=5 and the minimum is 18:11) .

Counting cumulative occurrences of values based on date window in Pandas

I have a DataFrame (df) that looks like the following:
+----------+----+
| dd_mm_yy | id |
+----------+----+
| 01-03-17 | A |
| 01-03-17 | B |
| 01-03-17 | C |
| 01-05-17 | B |
| 01-05-17 | D |
| 01-07-17 | A |
| 01-07-17 | D |
| 01-08-17 | C |
| 01-09-17 | B |
| 01-09-17 | B |
+----------+----+
This the end result i would like to compute:
+----------+----+-----------+
| dd_mm_yy | id | cum_count |
+----------+----+-----------+
| 01-03-17 | A | 1 |
| 01-03-17 | B | 1 |
| 01-03-17 | C | 1 |
| 01-05-17 | B | 2 |
| 01-05-17 | D | 1 |
| 01-07-17 | A | 2 |
| 01-07-17 | D | 2 |
| 01-08-17 | C | 1 |
| 01-09-17 | B | 2 |
| 01-09-17 | B | 3 |
+----------+----+-----------+
Logic
To calculate the cumulative occurrences of values in id but within a specified time window, for example 4 months. i.e. every 5th month the counter resets to one.
To get the cumulative occurences we can use this df.groupby('id').cumcount() + 1
Focusing on id = B we see that the 2nd occurence of B is after 2 months so the cum_count = 2. The next occurence of B is at 01-09-17, looking back 4 months we only find one other occurence so cum_count = 2, etc.
My approach is to call a helper function from df.groupby('id').transform. I feel this is more complicated and slower than it could be, but it seems to work.
# test data
date id cum_count_desired
2017-03-01 A 1
2017-03-01 B 1
2017-03-01 C 1
2017-05-01 B 2
2017-05-01 D 1
2017-07-01 A 2
2017-07-01 D 2
2017-08-01 C 1
2017-09-01 B 2
2017-09-01 B 3
# preprocessing
df['date'] = pd.to_datetime(df['date'])
df.set_index('date', inplace=True)
# Encode the ID strings to numbers to have a column
# to work with after grouping by ID
df['id_code'] = pd.factorize(df['id'])[0]
# solution
def cumcounter(x):
y = [x.loc[d - pd.DateOffset(months=4):d].count() for d in x.index]
gr = x.groupby('date')
adjust = gr.rank(method='first') - gr.size()
y += adjust
return y
df['cum_count'] = df.groupby('id')['id_code'].transform(cumcounter)
# output
df[['id', 'id_num', 'cum_count_desired', 'cum_count']]
id id_num cum_count_desired cum_count
date
2017-03-01 A 0 1 1
2017-03-01 B 1 1 1
2017-03-01 C 2 1 1
2017-05-01 B 1 2 2
2017-05-01 D 3 1 1
2017-07-01 A 0 2 2
2017-07-01 D 3 2 2
2017-08-01 C 2 1 1
2017-09-01 B 1 2 2
2017-09-01 B 1 3 3
The need for adjust
If the same ID occurs multiple times on the same day, the slicing approach that I use will overcount each of the same-day IDs, because the date-based slice immediately grabs all of the same-day values when the list comprehension encounters the date on which multiple IDs show up. Fix:
Group the current DataFrame by date.
Rank each row in each date group.
Subtract from these ranks the total number of rows in each date group. This produces a date-indexed Series of ascending negative integers, ending at 0.
Add these non-positive integer adjustments to y.
This only affects one row in the given test data -- the second-last row, because B appears twice on the same day.
Including or excluding the left endpoint of the time interval
To count rows as old as or newer than 4 calendar months ago, i.e., to include the left endpoint of the 4-month time interval, leave this line unchanged:
y = [x.loc[d - pd.DateOffset(months=4):d].count() for d in x.index]
To count rows strictly newer than 4 calendar months ago, i.e., to exclude the left endpoint of the 4-month time interval, use this instead:
y = [d.loc[d - pd.DateOffset(months=4, days=-1):d].count() for d in x.index]
You can extend the groupby with a grouper:
df['cum_count'] = df.groupby(['id', pd.Grouper(freq='4M', key='date')]).cumcount()
Out[48]:
date id cum_count
0 2017-03-01 A 0
1 2017-03-01 B 0
2 2017-03-01 C 0
3 2017-05-01 B 0
4 2017-05-01 D 0
5 2017-07-01 A 0
6 2017-07-01 D 1
7 2017-08-01 C 0
8 2017-09-01 B 0
9 2017-09-01 B 1
We can make use of .apply row-wise to work on sliced df as well. Sliced will be based on the use of relativedelta from dateutil.
def get_cum_sum (slice, row):
if slice.shape[0] == 0:
return 1
return slice[slice['id'] == row.id].shape[0]
d={'dd_mm_yy':['01-03-17','01-03-17','01-03-17','01-05-17','01-05-17','01-07-17','01-07-17','01-08-17','01-09-17','01-09-17'],'id':['A','B','C','B','D','A','D','C','B','B']}
df=pd.DataFrame(data=d)
df['dd_mm_yy'] = pd.to_datetime(df['dd_mm_yy'], format='%d-%m-%y')
df['cum_sum'] = df.apply(lambda current_row: get_cum_sum(df[(df.index <= current_row.name) & (df.dd_mm_yy >= (current_row.dd_mm_yy - relativedelta(months=+4)))],current_row),axis=1)
>>> df
dd_mm_yy id cum_sum
0 2017-03-01 A 1
1 2017-03-01 B 1
2 2017-03-01 C 1
3 2017-05-01 B 2
4 2017-05-01 D 1
5 2017-07-01 A 2
6 2017-07-01 D 2
7 2017-08-01 C 1
8 2017-09-01 B 2
9 2017-09-01 B 3
Thinking if it is feasible to use .rolling but months are not a fixed period thus might not work.
