I have 50 residual values that are in the format 00:00:00.0000 under df['Residuals'] but hold actual values in a Pandas dataframe columns such as:
00:00:04.7328
00:00:01.4252
and so on. I want to calculate the rms value of these times in seconds but cannot convert them from this format to just a decimal format. The dtype of the listed values above says m8[ns] which I am unfamiliar with. My question is how can I convert it from this m8[ns] format to an integer and then run the calculations?
The first thing to be paid attention to is the dtype, whether it's <m8[ns] (which is TimedeltaProperties) or <M8[ns] (which is DatetimeProperties)
In the case of <m8[ns]:
df['Residuals'].dt.seconds + df['Residuals'].dt.microseconds*1e-6
should get you the answer.
In the case of <M8[ns]:
df['Residuals'].dt.second + df['Residuals'].dt.microsecond*1e-6 # without 's'
should get you the answer.
Suppose I have a dataframe as follows:
df = pd.DataFrame({"user":[11,11,11,21,21,21,21,21,32,32],
"event":[0,0,1,0,0,1,1,1,0,0],
"datetime":['05:29:54','05:32:04','05:32:08',
'15:35:26','15:36:07','15:36:16','15:36:50','15:36:54',
'09:29:12', '09:29:25'] })
I would like to handle the repetitive lines across the first column (user) to reach the following.
In this case, we replace the 'event' column with the maximum value related in the 'user' column (for example for user=11, the maximum value for event is 1). And the third column is replaced by the average of the datetime.
P.S. It has been already discussed about dropping the repetitive rows here, however, I do not want to drop rows blindly. Especially when I am dealing with a dataframe with a lot of attributes.
You want to groupby and aggregate
df.groupby('user').agg({'event': 'max',
'datetime': lambda s: pd.to_timedelta(s).mean()})
If you want, you can also just change your datetime column first to timedelta using pd.to_timedelta and just take the mean in the agg
You can use str to represent the way you intend
df.groupby('user').agg({'event': 'max',
'datetime': lambda s: str(pd.to_timedelta(s).mean().to_pytimedelta())})
You can convert datetimes to native integers and aggregate mean, last convert back and for HH:MM:SS strings use strftime:
df['datetime'] = pd.to_datetime(df['datetime']).astype(np.int64)
df1 = df.groupby('user', as_index=False).agg({'event':'max', 'datetime':'mean'})
df1['datetime'] = pd.to_datetime(df1['datetime']).dt.strftime('%H:%M:%S')
print (df1)
user event datetime
0 11 1 05:31:22
1 21 1 15:36:18
2 32 0 09:29:18
Say I have a DataFrame with a column of Float64s, I'd like to group the dataframe by binning that column. I hear the cut function might help, but it's not defined over dataframes. Some work has been done (https://gist.github.com/tautologico/3925372), but I'd rather use a library function rather than copy-pasting code from the Internet. Pointers?
EDIT Bonus karma for finding a way of doing this by month over UNIX timestamps :)
You could bin dataframes based on a column of Float64s like this. Here my bins are increments of 0.1 from 0.0 to 1.0, binning the dataframe based on a column of 100 random numbers between 0.0 and 1.0.
using DataFrames #load DataFrames
df = DataFrame(index = rand(Float64,100)) #Make a DataFrame with some random Float64 numbers
df_array = map(x->df[(df[:index] .>= x[1]) .& (df[:index] .<x[2]),:],zip(0.0:0.1:0.9,0.1:0.1:1.0)) #Map an anonymous function that gets every row between two numbers specified by a tuple called x, and map that anonymous function to an array of tuples generated using the zip function.
This will produce an array of 10 dataframes, each one with a different 0.1-sized bin.
As for the UNIX timestamp question, I'm not as familiar with that side of things, but after playing around a bit maybe something like this could work:
using Dates
df = DataFrame(unixtime = rand(1E9:1:1.1E9,100)) #Make a dataframe with floats containing pretend unix time stamps
df[:date] = Dates.unix2datetime.(df[:unixtime]) #convert those timestamps to DateTime types
df[:year_month] = map(date->string(Dates.Year.(date))*" "*string(Dates.Month.(date)),df[:date]) #Make a string for every month in your time range
df_array = map(ym->df[df[:year_month] .== ym,:],unique(df[:year_month])) #Bin based on each unique year_month string
My naive approach to Pandas Series needs some pointers. I have one Pandas DataFrame with two joined tables. The left table had timestamp with title Time1 and the right had Time2; My new DataFrame has both.
At this step I'm comparing the two datetime columns using helper functions g() and f():
df['date_error'] = g(df['Time1'], df['Time2'])
The working helper function g() compares two datetime values:
def g(newer,older):
value = newer > older
return value
This gives me a column (True,False) values. When I use the conditional in the helper function f(), I get an error because newer and older are Pandas Series:
def f(newer,older):
if newer > older:
delta = (newer - older)
else :
# arbitrairly large value to maintain col dtype
delta = datetime.timedelta(minutes=1000)
return delta
Ok. Fine. I know I'm not unpacking the Pandas Series correctly, because I can get this to work with the following monstrosity:
def f(newer,older):
delta = []
for (k,v),(k2,v2) in zip(newer.iteritems(), older.iteritems()):
if v > v2 :
delta.append(v - v2)
else :
# arbitrairly large value to maintain col dtype
delta.append(datetime.timedelta(minutes=1000))
return pd.Series(delta)
What's the Pandas way a conditional between two DataFrame columns?
Usually where is the pandas equivalent of if:
df = pd.DataFrame([['1/1/01 11:00', '1/1/01 12:00'],
['1/1/01 14:00', '1/1/01 13:00']],
columns = ['Time1', 'Time2']
).apply(pd.to_datetime)
(df.Time1 - df.Time2).where(df.Time1 > df.Time2)
0 NaT
1 01:00:00
dtype: timedelta64[ns]
If you don't want nulls in this column you could call fillna(1000) afterwards, however note that this datatype supports a null value NaT (not a time).
I have a Pandas DataFrame with a 'date' column. Now I need to filter out all rows in the DataFrame that have dates outside of the next two months. Essentially, I only need to retain the rows that are within the next two months.
What is the best way to achieve this?
If date column is the index, then use .loc for label based indexing or .iloc for positional indexing.
For example:
df.loc['2014-01-01':'2014-02-01']
See details here http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/dsintro.html#indexing-selection
If the column is not the index you have two choices:
Make it the index (either temporarily or permanently if it's time-series data)
df[(df['date'] > '2013-01-01') & (df['date'] < '2013-02-01')]
See here for the general explanation
Note: .ix is deprecated.
Previous answer is not correct in my experience, you can't pass it a simple string, needs to be a datetime object. So:
import datetime
df.loc[datetime.date(year=2014,month=1,day=1):datetime.date(year=2014,month=2,day=1)]
And if your dates are standardized by importing datetime package, you can simply use:
df[(df['date']>datetime.date(2016,1,1)) & (df['date']<datetime.date(2016,3,1))]
For standarding your date string using datetime package, you can use this function:
import datetime
datetime.datetime.strptime
If you have already converted the string to a date format using pd.to_datetime you can just use:
df = df[(df['Date'] > "2018-01-01") & (df['Date'] < "2019-07-01")]
The shortest way to filter your dataframe by date:
Lets suppose your date column is type of datetime64[ns]
# filter by single day
df_filtered = df[df['date'].dt.strftime('%Y-%m-%d') == '2014-01-01']
# filter by single month
df_filtered = df[df['date'].dt.strftime('%Y-%m') == '2014-01']
# filter by single year
df_filtered = df[df['date'].dt.strftime('%Y') == '2014']
If your datetime column have the Pandas datetime type (e.g. datetime64[ns]), for proper filtering you need the pd.Timestamp object, for example:
from datetime import date
import pandas as pd
value_to_check = pd.Timestamp(date.today().year, 1, 1)
filter_mask = df['date_column'] < value_to_check
filtered_df = df[filter_mask]
If the dates are in the index then simply:
df['20160101':'20160301']
You can use pd.Timestamp to perform a query and a local reference
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
df = pd.DataFrame()
ts = pd.Timestamp
df['date'] = np.array(np.arange(10) + datetime.now().timestamp(), dtype='M8[s]')
print(df)
print(df.query('date > #ts("20190515T071320")')
with the output
date
0 2019-05-15 07:13:16
1 2019-05-15 07:13:17
2 2019-05-15 07:13:18
3 2019-05-15 07:13:19
4 2019-05-15 07:13:20
5 2019-05-15 07:13:21
6 2019-05-15 07:13:22
7 2019-05-15 07:13:23
8 2019-05-15 07:13:24
9 2019-05-15 07:13:25
date
5 2019-05-15 07:13:21
6 2019-05-15 07:13:22
7 2019-05-15 07:13:23
8 2019-05-15 07:13:24
9 2019-05-15 07:13:25
Have a look at the pandas documentation for DataFrame.query, specifically the mention about the local variabile referenced udsing # prefix. In this case we reference pd.Timestamp using the local alias ts to be able to supply a timestamp string
So when loading the csv data file, we'll need to set the date column as index now as below, in order to filter data based on a range of dates. This was not needed for the now deprecated method: pd.DataFrame.from_csv().
If you just want to show the data for two months from Jan to Feb, e.g. 2020-01-01 to 2020-02-29, you can do so:
import pandas as pd
mydata = pd.read_csv('mydata.csv',index_col='date') # or its index number, e.g. index_col=[0]
mydata['2020-01-01':'2020-02-29'] # will pull all the columns
#if just need one column, e.g. Cost, can be done:
mydata['2020-01-01':'2020-02-29','Cost']
This has been tested working for Python 3.7. Hope you will find this useful.
I'm not allowed to write any comments yet, so I'll write an answer, if somebody will read all of them and reach this one.
If the index of the dataset is a datetime and you want to filter that just by (for example) months, you can do following:
df.loc[df.index.month == 3]
That will filter the dataset for you by March.
How about using pyjanitor
It has cool features.
After pip install pyjanitor
import janitor
df_filtered = df.filter_date(your_date_column_name, start_date, end_date)
You could just select the time range by doing: df.loc['start_date':'end_date']
In pandas version 1.1.3 I encountered a situation where the python datetime based index was in descending order. In this case
df.loc['2021-08-01':'2021-08-31']
returned empty. Whereas
df.loc['2021-08-31':'2021-08-01']
returned the expected data.
Another solution if you would like to use the .query() method.
It allows you to use write readable code like .query(f"{start} < MyDate < {end}") on the trade off, that .query() parses strings and the columns values must be in pandas date format (so that it is also understandable for .query())
df = pd.DataFrame({
'MyValue': [1,2,3],
'MyDate': pd.to_datetime(['2021-01-01','2021-01-02','2021-01-03'])
})
start = datetime.date(2021,1,1).strftime('%Y%m%d')
end = datetime.date(2021,1,3).strftime('%Y%m%d')
df.query(f"{start} < MyDate < {end}")
(following the comment from #Phillip Cloud, answer from #Retozi)
import the pandas library
import pandas as pd
STEP 1: convert the date column into a string using the pd.to_datetime() method
df['date']=pd.to_datetime(df["date"],unit='s')
STEP 2: perform the filtering in any predetermined manner ( i.e 2 months)
df = df[(df["date"] >"2022-03-01" & df["date"] < "2022-05-03")]
STEP 3 : Check the output
print(df)
# 60 days from today
after_60d = pd.to_datetime('today').date() + datetime.timedelta(days=60)
# filter date col less than 60 days date
df[df['date_col'] < after_60d]
