I have a Pandas dataframe with several columns wherein the entries of each column are a combination of numbers, upper and lower case letters and some special characters:, i.e, "=A-Za-z0-9_|". Each entry of the column is of the form:
'x=ABCDefgh_5|123|'
I want to retain only the numbers 0-9 appearing only between | | and strip out all other characters. Here is my code for one column of the dataframe:
list(map(lambda x: x.lstrip(r'\[=A-Za-z_|,]+'), df[1]))
However, the code returns the full entry 'x=ABCDefgh_5|123|' without stripping out anything. Is there an error in my code?
Instead of working with these unreadable regex expressions, you might want to consider a simple split. For example:
import pandas as pd
d = {'col': ["x=ABCDefgh_5|123|", "x=ABCDefgh_5|123|"]}
df = pd.DataFrame(data=d)
output = df["col"].str.split("|").str[1]

I am extracting tables from pdf using Camelot. Two of the columns are getting merged together with a newline separator. Is there a way to separate them into two columns?
Suppose the column looks like this.
A\nB
1\n2
2\n3
3\n4
Desired output:
|A|B|
|-|-|
|1|2|
|2|3|
|3|4|
I have tried df['A\nB'].str.split('\n', 2, expand=True) and that splits it into two columns however I want the new column names to be A and B and not 0 and 1. Also I need to pass a generalized column label instead of actual column name since I need to implement this for several docs which may have different column names. I can determine such column name in my dataframe using
colNew = df.columns[df.columns.str.contains(pat = '\n')]
However when I pass colNew in split function, it throws an attribute error
df[colNew].str.split('\n', 2, expand=True)
AttributeError: DataFrame object has no attribute 'str'
You can take advantage of the Pandas split function.
import pandas as pd
# recreate your pandas series above.
df = pd.DataFrame({'A\nB':['1\n2','2\n3','3\n4']})
# first: Turn the col into str.
# second. split the col based on seperator \n
# third: make sure expand as True since you want the after split col become two new col
test = df['A\nB'].astype('str').str.split('\n',expand=True)
# some rename
test.columns = ['A','B']
I hope this is helpful.
I reproduced the error from my side... I guess the issue is that "df[colNew]" is still a dataframe as it contains the indexes.
But .str.split() only works on Series. So taking as example your code, I would convert the dataframe to series using iloc[:,0].
Then another line to split the column headers:
df2=df[colNew].iloc[:,0].str.split('\n', 2, expand=True)
df2.columns = 'A\nB'.split('\n')
I am interested to loop through column to convert into processed series.
Below is an example of two row, four columns data frame:
import pandas as pd
from rapidfuzz import process as process_rapid
from rapidfuzz import utils as rapid_utils
data = [['r/o ac. nephritis. /. nephrotic syndrome', ' ac. nephritis. /. nephrotic syndrome',1,'ac nephritis nephrotic syndrome'], [ 'sternocleidomastoid contracture','sternocleidomastoid contracture',0,"NA"]]
# Create the pandas DataFrame
df_diagnosis = pd.DataFrame(data, columns = ['diagnosis_name', 'diagnosis_name_edited','is_spell_corrected','spell_corrected_value'])
I want to use spell_corrected_value column if is_spell_corrected column is more than 1. Else, use diagnosis_name_edited
At the moment, I have following code to directly use diagnosis_name_edited column. How do I make into if-else/lambda check for is_spell_corrected column?
unmapped_diag_series = (rapid_utils.default_process(d) for d in df_diagnosis['diagnosis_name_edited'].astype(str)) # characters (generator)
unmapped_processed_diagnosis = pd.Series(unmapped_diag_series) #
Thank you.
If I get you right, try out this fast solution using numpy.where:
df_diagnosis['new_column'] = np.where(df_diagnosis['is_spell_corrected'] > 1, df_diagnosis['spell_corrected_value'], df_diagnosis['diagnosis_name_edited'])
I'm trying to remove certain values with that code, however pandas does not give me to, instead outputs
ValueError: Unable to coerce to Series, length must be 10: given 2
Here is my code:
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv("/Volumes/SSD/IT/DataSets/Automobile_data.csv")
print(df.shape)
columns_df = ['index', 'company', 'body-style', 'wheel-base', 'length', 'engine-type',
'num-of-cylinders', 'horsepower', 'average-mileage', 'price']
prohibited_symbols = ['?','Nan''n.a']
df = df[df[columns_df] != prohibited_symbols]
print(df)
Try:
df = df[~df[columns_df].str.contains('|'.join(prohibited_symbols))]
The regex operator '|' helps remove records that contain any of your prohibited symbols.
Because what you are trying is not doing what you imagine it should.
df = df[df[columns_df] != prohibited_symbols]
Above line will always return False values for everything. You can't iterate over a list of prohibited symbols like that. != will do only a simple inequality check and none of your cells will be equal to the list of prohibited symbols probably. Also using that syntax will not delete those values from your cells.
You'll have to use a for loop and clean every column like this.
for column in columns_df:
df[column] = df[column].str.replace('|'.join(prohibited_symbols), '', regex=True)
You can as well specify the values you consider as null with the na_values argument when reading the data and then use dropna from pandas.
Example:
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv("/Volumes/SSD/IT/DataSets/Automobile_data.csv", na_values=['?','Nan''n.a'])
df = df.dropna()
The question is, how to gain access to the strings inside of the first column so that string manipulations can be performed with each value. For example remove spaces in front of each string.
import pandas as pd
data = pd.read_csv("adult.csv", sep='\t', index_col=0)
series = data['workclass'].value_counts()
print(series)
Here is the file:
Zipped csv file
It is index, so use str.strip with series.index:
series.index = series.index.str.strip()
But if need convert series here to 2 columns DataFrame use:
df = series.rename_axis('a').reset_index(name='b')
I have got a pandas dataframe which looks like the following:
df.head()
categorized.Hashtags
0 icietmaintenant supyoga standuppaddleportugal ...
1 instapaysage bretagne labellebretagne bretagne...
2 bretagne lescrepescestlavie quimper bzh labret...
3 bretagne mer paysdiroise magnifique phare plou...
4 bateaux baiededouarnenez voiliers vieuxgreemen..
Now instead of using pandas get_dummmies() command I would like to use CountVectorizer to create the same output. Because get_dummies takes too much time.
df_x = df["categorized.Hashtags"]
vect = CountVectorizer(min_df=0.,max_df=1.0)
X = vect.fit_transform(df_x)
count_vect_df = pd.DataFrame(X.todense(), columns = vect.get_feature_names())
When I now output the respective data frame "count_vect_df" then the data frame contains a lot of columns which are empty/ contains only zero values. How can I avoid this?
Cheers,
Andi
From scikit-learn CountVectorizer docs:
Convert a collection of text documents to a matrix of token counts
This implementation produces a sparse representation of the counts
using scipy.sparse.csr_matrix.
The CountVectorizer returns a sparse-matrix, which contains most of zero values, where non-zero values represent the number of times that specific term has appeared in the particular document.
