data = credit_data[credit_data['CREDIT_LIMIT'].isna()]
this is the code snippet from a code I was writing.
Here I wanted to print all the rows that contain nan values in a column.
This code accomplishes that but what I want to know is how is this actually happening.
As credit_data['CREDIT_LIMIT'].isna() prints out a series containing bool values so how by just passing that series through our dataframe (credit_data) we are getting all the rows that contain nan values
at this point I have searched on some blogs and pandas documentation for dataframe.isna()
and some answers on this site but haven't found anything satisfactory.
I would be great if you can point me right direction like give a blog post link or some answer that already answers this query
thanks
As credit_data['CREDIT_LIMIT'].isna() prints out a series containing
bool values so how by just passing that series through our dataframe
(credit_data) we are getting all the rows that contain nan values
By passing boolean Series you have used feature named Boolean Masking, it is done by providing iterable (which might be, but does not have to be Series) of bool values of length equal to DataFrame, consider following example
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({'letter':['A','B','C','D','E']})
mask = [True,False,True,False,True]
print(df[mask])
output
letter
0 A
2 C
4 E
Note that this feature is also present in numpy for example
import numpy as np
arr = np.arange(25).reshape((5,5))
mask = [True,False,True,False,True]
print(arr[mask])
output
[[ 0 1 2 3 4]
[10 11 12 13 14]
[20 21 22 23 24]]
I have a very simple for loop problem and I haven't found a solution in any of the similar questions on Stack. I want to use a for loop to create values in a pandas dataframe. I want the values to be strings that contain a numerical index. I can make the correct value print, but I can't make this value get saved in the dataframe. I'm new to python.
# reproducible example
import pandas as pd
df1 = pd.DataFrame({'x':range(5)})
# for loop to add a row with an index
for i in range(5):
print("data_{i}.txt".format(i=i)) # this prints the value that I want
df1['file'] = "data_{i}.txt".format(i=i)
This loop prints the exact value that I want to put into the 'file' column of df1, but when I look at df1, it only uses the last value for the index.
x file
0 0 data_4.txt
1 1 data_4.txt
2 2 data_4.txt
3 3 data_4.txt
4 4 data_4.txt
I have tried using enumerate, but can't find a solution with this. I assume everyone will yell at me for posting a duplicate question, but I have not found anything that works and if someone points me to a solution that solves this problem, I'll happily remove this question.
There are better ways to create a DataFrame, but to answer your question:
Replace the last line in your code:
df1['file'] = "data_{i}.txt".format(i=i)
with:
df1.loc[i, 'file'] = "data_{0}.txt".format(i)
For more information, read about the .loc here: https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/reference/api/pandas.DataFrame.loc.html
On the same page, you can read about accessors like .at and .iloc as well.
You can do list-comprehension:
df1['file'] = ["data_{i}.txt".format(i=i) for i in range(5)]
print(df1)
Prints:
x file
0 0 data_0.txt
1 1 data_1.txt
2 2 data_2.txt
3 3 data_3.txt
4 4 data_4.txt
OR at the creating of DataFrame:
df1 = pd.DataFrame({'x':range(5), 'file': ["data_{i}.txt".format(i=i) for i in range(5)]})
print(df1)
OR:
df1 = pd.DataFrame([{'x':i, 'file': "data_{i}.txt".format(i=i)} for i in range(5)])
print(df1)
I've found success with the .at method
for i in range(5):
print("data_{i}.txt".format(i=i)) # this prints the value that I want
df1.at[i, 'file'] = "data_{i}.txt".format(i=i)
Returns:
x file
0 0 data_0.txt
1 1 data_1.txt
2 2 data_2.txt
3 3 data_3.txt
4 4 data_4.txt
when you assign a variable to a dataframe column the way you do -
using the df['colname'] = 'val', it assigns the val across all rows.
That is why you are seeing only the last value.
Change your code to:
import pandas as pd
df1 = pd.DataFrame({'x':range(5)})
# for loop to add a row with an index
to_assign = []
for i in range(5):
print("data_{i}.txt".format(i=i)) # this prints the value that I want
to_assign.append(data_{i}.txt".format(i=i))
##outside of the loop - only once - to all dataframe rows
df1['file'] = to_assign.
As a thought, pandas has a great API for performing these type of actions without for loops.
You should start practicing those.
How can I find the row for which the value of a specific column is maximal?
df.max() will give me the maximal value for each column, I don't know how to get the corresponding row.
Use the pandas idxmax function. It's straightforward:
>>> import pandas
>>> import numpy as np
>>> df = pandas.DataFrame(np.random.randn(5,3),columns=['A','B','C'])
>>> df
A B C
0 1.232853 -1.979459 -0.573626
1 0.140767 0.394940 1.068890
2 0.742023 1.343977 -0.579745
3 2.125299 -0.649328 -0.211692
4 -0.187253 1.908618 -1.862934
>>> df['A'].idxmax()
3
>>> df['B'].idxmax()
4
>>> df['C'].idxmax()
1
Alternatively you could also use numpy.argmax, such as numpy.argmax(df['A']) -- it provides the same thing, and appears at least as fast as idxmax in cursory observations.
idxmax() returns indices labels, not integers.
Example': if you have string values as your index labels, like rows 'a' through 'e', you might want to know that the max occurs in row 4 (not row 'd').
if you want the integer position of that label within the Index you have to get it manually (which can be tricky now that duplicate row labels are allowed).
HISTORICAL NOTES:
idxmax() used to be called argmax() prior to 0.11
argmax was deprecated prior to 1.0.0 and removed entirely in 1.0.0
back as of Pandas 0.16, argmax used to exist and perform the same function (though appeared to run more slowly than idxmax).
argmax function returned the integer position within the index of the row location of the maximum element.
pandas moved to using row labels instead of integer indices. Positional integer indices used to be very common, more common than labels, especially in applications where duplicate row labels are common.
For example, consider this toy DataFrame with a duplicate row label:
In [19]: dfrm
Out[19]:
A B C
a 0.143693 0.653810 0.586007
b 0.623582 0.312903 0.919076
c 0.165438 0.889809 0.000967
d 0.308245 0.787776 0.571195
e 0.870068 0.935626 0.606911
f 0.037602 0.855193 0.728495
g 0.605366 0.338105 0.696460
h 0.000000 0.090814 0.963927
i 0.688343 0.188468 0.352213
i 0.879000 0.105039 0.900260
In [20]: dfrm['A'].idxmax()
Out[20]: 'i'
In [21]: dfrm.iloc[dfrm['A'].idxmax()] # .ix instead of .iloc in older versions of pandas
Out[21]:
A B C
i 0.688343 0.188468 0.352213
i 0.879000 0.105039 0.900260
So here a naive use of idxmax is not sufficient, whereas the old form of argmax would correctly provide the positional location of the max row (in this case, position 9).
This is exactly one of those nasty kinds of bug-prone behaviors in dynamically typed languages that makes this sort of thing so unfortunate, and worth beating a dead horse over. If you are writing systems code and your system suddenly gets used on some data sets that are not cleaned properly before being joined, it's very easy to end up with duplicate row labels, especially string labels like a CUSIP or SEDOL identifier for financial assets. You can't easily use the type system to help you out, and you may not be able to enforce uniqueness on the index without running into unexpectedly missing data.
So you're left with hoping that your unit tests covered everything (they didn't, or more likely no one wrote any tests) -- otherwise (most likely) you're just left waiting to see if you happen to smack into this error at runtime, in which case you probably have to go drop many hours worth of work from the database you were outputting results to, bang your head against the wall in IPython trying to manually reproduce the problem, finally figuring out that it's because idxmax can only report the label of the max row, and then being disappointed that no standard function automatically gets the positions of the max row for you, writing a buggy implementation yourself, editing the code, and praying you don't run into the problem again.
You might also try idxmax:
In [5]: df = pandas.DataFrame(np.random.randn(10,3),columns=['A','B','C'])
In [6]: df
Out[6]:
A B C
0 2.001289 0.482561 1.579985

9 0.404911 -2.167599 -0.452900
In [7]: df.idxmax()
Out[7]:
A 0
B 8
C 7
e.g.
In [8]: df.loc[df['A'].idxmax()]
Out[8]:
A 2.001289
B 0.482561
C 1.579985
Both above answers would only return one index if there are multiple rows that take the maximum value. If you want all the rows, there does not seem to have a function.
But it is not hard to do. Below is an example for Series; the same can be done for DataFrame:
In [1]: from pandas import Series, DataFrame
In [2]: s=Series([2,4,4,3],index=['a','b','c','d'])
In [3]: s.idxmax()
Out[3]: 'b'
In [4]: s[s==s.max()]
Out[4]:
b 4
c 4
dtype: int64
df.iloc[df['columnX'].argmax()]
argmax() would provide the index corresponding to the max value for the columnX. iloc can be used to get the row of the DataFrame df for this index.
A more compact and readable solution using query() is like this:
import pandas as pd
df = pandas.DataFrame(np.random.randn(5,3),columns=['A','B','C'])
print(df)
# find row with maximum A
df.query('A == A.max()')
It also returns a DataFrame instead of Series, which would be handy for some use cases.
Very simple: we have df as below and we want to print a row with max value in C:
A B C
x 1 4
y 2 10
z 5 9
In:
df.loc[df['C'] == df['C'].max()] # condition check
Out:
A B C
y 2 10
If you want the entire row instead of just the id, you can use df.nlargest and pass in how many 'top' rows you want and you can also pass in for which column/columns you want it for.
df.nlargest(2,['A'])
will give you the rows corresponding to the top 2 values of A.
use df.nsmallest for min values.
The direct ".argmax()" solution does not work for me.
The previous example provided by #ely
>>> import pandas
>>> import numpy as np
>>> df = pandas.DataFrame(np.random.randn(5,3),columns=['A','B','C'])
>>> df
A B C
0 1.232853 -1.979459 -0.573626
1 0.140767 0.394940 1.068890
2 0.742023 1.343977 -0.579745
3 2.125299 -0.649328 -0.211692
4 -0.187253 1.908618 -1.862934
>>> df['A'].argmax()
3
>>> df['B'].argmax()
4
>>> df['C'].argmax()
1
returns the following message :
FutureWarning: 'argmax' is deprecated, use 'idxmax' instead. The behavior of 'argmax'
will be corrected to return the positional maximum in the future.
Use 'series.values.argmax' to get the position of the maximum now.
So that my solution is :
df['A'].values.argmax()
mx.iloc[0].idxmax()
This one line of code will give you how to find the maximum value from a row in dataframe, here mx is the dataframe and iloc[0] indicates the 0th index.
Considering this dataframe
[In]: df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(4,3),columns=['A','B','C'])
[Out]:
A B C
0 -0.253233 0.226313 1.223688
1 0.472606 1.017674 1.520032
2 1.454875 1.066637 0.381890
3 -0.054181 0.234305 -0.557915
Assuming one want to know the rows where column "C" is max, the following will do the work
[In]: df[df['C']==df['C'].max()])
[Out]:
A B C
1 0.472606 1.017674 1.520032
The idmax of the DataFrame returns the label index of the row with the maximum value and the behavior of argmax depends on version of pandas (right now it returns a warning). If you want to use the positional index, you can do the following:
max_row = df['A'].values.argmax()
or
import numpy as np
max_row = np.argmax(df['A'].values)
Note that if you use np.argmax(df['A']) behaves the same as df['A'].argmax().
Use:
data.iloc[data['A'].idxmax()]
data['A'].idxmax() -finds max value location in terms of row
data.iloc() - returns the row
If there are ties in the maximum values, then idxmax returns the index of only the first max value. For example, in the following DataFrame:
A B C
0 1 0 1
1 0 0 1
2 0 0 0
3 0 1 1
4 1 0 0
idxmax returns
A 0
B 3
C 0
dtype: int64
Now, if we want all indices corresponding to max values, then we could use max + eq to create a boolean DataFrame, then use it on df.index to filter out indexes:
out = df.eq(df.max()).apply(lambda x: df.index[x].tolist())
Output:
A [0, 4]
B [3]
C [0, 1, 3]
dtype: object
what worked for me is:
df[df['colX'] == df['colX'].max()
You then get the row in your df with the maximum value of colX.
Then if you just want the index you can add .index at the end of the query.
import numpy as np
import pandas as df
from numpy import asarray
from numpy import save
files=np.load('arr.npy',allow_pickle=True)
#print(files)
data=df.DataFrame(files)
type(data)
rr=data.shape[0]
for i in range(0,rr):
res=data[0][i]
after running res variable contains last element
but i want all the values
so tell me how to store all the 2d matrix values in python ??
data variable is the dataframe
it contains 9339 rows and 2 columns
but i want 1st column it is the 32x32 matrix
how to store values res variable
Notice that res = data[0][i] initializes a new variable res on the first iteration of the loop (when i is 0), but then keeps reassigning its value to the value in the next row (staying on column 0).
I'm not sure exactly what you want, but it sounds like you just want the first column in a separate variable? Here is how to get the first column, as a pandas series and/or plain list, with a smaller example (9 rows and 2 columns)
import pandas as pd
random_data = np.random.rand(9,2)
data_df = pd.DataFrame(random_data)
print(data_df)
# this gets the first column as a pandas series. Change index from 0 to get another column.
print('\nfirst column:')
first_col = data_df[data_df.columns[0]]
print(first_col)
# if you want a plain list instead of a series
print('\nfirst column as list:')
print(first_col.tolist())
Output:

I'm trying to do something that I think should be a one-liner, but am struggling to get it right.
I have a large dataframe, we'll call it lg, and a small dataframe, we'll call it sm. Each dataframe has a start and an end column, and multiple other columns all of which are identical between the two dataframes (for simplicity, we'll call all of those columns type). Sometimes, sm will have the same start and end as lg, and if that is the case, I want sm's type to overwrite lg's type.
Here's the setup:
lg = pd.DataFrame({'start':[1,2,3,4], 'end':[5,6,7,8], 'type':['a','b','c','d']})
sm = pd.DataFrame({'start':[9,2,3], 'end':[10,6,11], 'type':['e','f','g']})
...note that the only matching ['start','end'] combo is ['2','6']
My desired output:
start end type
0 1 5 a
1 2 6 f # where sm['type'] overwrites lg['type'] because of matching ['start','end']
2 3 7 c
3 3 11 g # where there is no overwrite because 'end' does not match
4 4 8 d
5 9 10 e # where this row is added from sm
I've tried multiple versions of .merge(), merge_ordered(), etc. but to no avail. I've actually gotten it to work with merge_ordered() and drop_duplicates() only to realize that it was simply dropping the duplicate that was earlier in the alphabet, not because it was from sm.
You can try to set start and end columns as index and then use combine_first:
sm.set_index(['start', 'end']).combine_first(lg.set_index(['start', 'end'])).reset_index()
