I've got a dataframe in pandas that stores the Id of a person, the quality of interaction, and the date of the interaction. A person can have multiple interactions across multiple dates, so to help visualise and plot this I converted it into a pivot table grouping first by Id then by date to analyse the pattern over time.
e.g.
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({'Id':['A4G8','A4G8','A4G8','P9N3','P9N3','P9N3','P9N3','C7R5','L4U7'],
'Date':['2016-1-1','2016-1-15','2016-1-30','2017-2-12','2017-2-28','2017-3-10','2019-1-1','2018-6-1','2019-8-6'],
'Quality':[2,3,6,1,5,10,10,2,2]})
pt = df.pivot_table(values='Quality', index=['Id','Date'])
print(pt)
Leads to this:
Id
Date
Quality
A4G8
2016-1-1
2
2016-1-15
4
2016-1-30
6
P9N3
2017-2-12
1
2017-2-28
5
2017-3-10
10
2019-1-1
10
C7R5
2018-6-1
2
L4U7
2019-8-6
2
However, I'd also like to...
Measure the time from the first interaction for each interaction per Id
Measure the time from the previous interaction with the same Id
So I'd get a table similar to the one below
Id
Date
Quality
Time From First
Time To Prev
A4G8
2016-1-1
2
0 days
NA days
2016-1-15

2016-1-30

0 days
NA days
2017-2-28

15 days

2017-3-10

9 days
The Id column is a string type, and I've converted the date column into datetime, and the Quality column into an integer.
The column is rather large (>10,000 unique ids) so for performance reasons I'm trying to avoid using for loops. I'm guessing the solution is somehow using pd.eval but I'm stuck as to how to apply it correctly.
Apologies I'm a python, pandas, & stack overflow) noob and I haven't found the answer anywhere yet so even some pointers on where to look would be great :-).
Many thanks in advance
Convert Dates to datetimes and then substract minimal datetimes per groups by GroupBy.transformb subtracted by column Date and for second new column use DataFrameGroupBy.diff:
df['Date'] = pd.to_datetime(df['Date'])
df['Time From First'] = df['Date'].sub(df.groupby('Id')['Date'].transform('min'))
df['Time To Prev'] = df.groupby('Id')['Date'].diff()
print (df)
Id Date Quality Time From First Time To Prev
0 A4G8 2016-01-01 2 0 days NaT
1 A4G8 2016-01-15 3 14 days 14 days
2 A4G8 2016-01-30 6 29 days 15 days
3 P9N3 2017-02-12 1 0 days NaT

5 P9N3 2017-03-10 10 26 days 10 days
6 P9N3 2019-01-01 10 688 days 662 days
7 C7R5 2018-06-01 2 0 days NaT
8 L4U7 2019-08-06 2 0 days NaT
df["Date"] = pd.to_datetime(df.Date)
df = df.merge(
df.groupby(["Id"]).Date.first(),
on="Id",
how="left",
suffixes=["", "_first"]
)
df["Time From First"] = df.Date-df.Date_first
df['Time To Prev'] = df.groupby('Id').Date.diff()
df.set_index(["Id", "Date"], inplace=True)
df

I have a time series that looks like this:
value date
63.85 2017-01-15
63.95 2017-01-22
63.88 2017-01-29
64.02 2017-02-05
63.84 2017-02-12
62.13 2017-03-05
65.36 2017-03-25
66.45 2017-04-25
And I would like to reverse the order of the rows so they look like this:
value date
66.45 2000-01-01
65.36 2000-02-01
62.13 2000-02-20
63.84 2000-03-12
64.02 2000-03-19
63.88 2000-03-26
63.95 2000-04-02
63.85 2000-04-09
As you can see, the "value" column requires to simply flip the row values, but for the date column what I would like to do is keep the same "difference in days" between dates. It doesn't really matter what the start date value is as long as the difference in days is flipped correctly too. In the second dataframe of the example, the start date value is 2000-01-01 and the second value is 2020-02-01, which is 31 days later than the first date. This "day difference" of 31 days is the same one as the last (2017-04-25) and penultimate date (2017-03-25) of the first dataframe. And, the same for the second (2000-02-01) and the third value (2000-02-20) of the second dataframe: the "difference in days" is 20 days, the same one between the penultimate date (2017-03-25) and the antepenultimate date (2017-03-05) of the first dataframe. And so on.
I believe that the steps needed to do this would require to first calculate this "day differences", but I would like to know how to do it efficiently. Thank you :)
NumPy has support for this via its datetime and timedelta data types.
First you reverse both columns in your time series as follows:
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
df2 = df
df2 = df2.iloc[::-1]
df2
where df is your original time series data and df2 (shown below) is the reversed time series.
value date
7 66.45 2017-04-25
6 65.36 2017-03-25
5 62.13 2017-03-05
4 63.84 2017-02-12
3 64.02 2017-02-05
2 63.88 2017-01-29
1 63.95 2017-01-22
0 63.85 2017-01-15
Next you find the day differences and store them as timedelta objects:
dates_np = np.array(df2.date).astype(np.datetime64) # Convert dates to np.datetime64 ojects
timeDeltas = np.insert(abs(np.diff(dates_np)), 0, 0) # np.insert is to account for -1 length during np.diff call
d2 = {'value': df_reversed.value, 'day_diff': timeDeltas} # Create new dataframe (df3)
df3 = pd.DataFrame(data=d2)
df3
where df3 (the day differences table) looks like this:
value day_diff
7 66.45 0 days
6 65.36 31 days
5 62.13 20 days
4 63.84 21 days
3 64.02 7 days
2 63.88 7 days
1 63.95 7 days
0 63.85 7 days
Lastly, to get back to dates accumulating from a start data, you do the following:
startDate = np.datetime64('2000-01-01') # You can change this if you like
df4 = df2 # Copy coumn data from df2
df4.date = np.array(np.cumsum(df3.day_diff) + startDate # np.cumsum accumulates the day_diff sum
df4
where df4 (the start date accumulation) looks like this:
value date
7 66.45 2000-01-01
6 65.36 2000-02-01
5 62.13 2000-02-21
4 63.84 2000-03-13
3 64.02 2000-03-20
2 63.88 2000-03-27
1 63.95 2000-04-03
0 63.85 2000-04-10
I noticed there is a 1-day discrepancy with my final table, however this is most likely due to the implementation of timedelta inclusivity/exluclusivity.
Here's how I did it:
Creating the DataFrame:
value = [63.85, 63.95, 63.88, 64.02, 63.84, 62.13, 65.36, 66.45]
date = ["2017-01-15", "2017-01-22", "2017-01-29", "2017-02-05", "2017-02-12", "2017-03-05", "2017-03-25", "2017-04-25",]
df = pd.DataFrame({"value": value, "date": date})
Creating a second DataFrame with the values reversed and converting the date column to datetime
new_df = df.astype({'date': 'datetime64'})
new_df.sort_index(ascending=False, inplace=True, ignore_index=True)
new_df
value date
0 66.45 2017-04-25
1 65.36 2017-03-25
2 62.13 2017-03-05
3 63.84 2017-02-12
4 64.02 2017-02-05
5 63.88 2017-01-29
6 63.95 2017-01-22
7 63.85 2017-01-15
I then used pandas.Series.diff to calculate the time delta between each row and converted those values to absolute values.
time_delta_series = new_df['date'].diff().abs()
time_delta_series
0 NaT
1 31 days
2 20 days
3 21 days
4 7 days
5 7 days
6 7 days
7 7 days
Name: date, dtype: timedelta64[ns]
Then you need to convert those values to a cumulative time delta.
But to use the cumsum() method you need to first remove the missing values (NaT).
time_delta_series = time_delta_series.fillna(pd.Timedelta(seconds=0)).cumsum()
time_delta_series
0 0 days
1 31 days
2 51 days
3 72 days
4 79 days
5 86 days
6 93 days
7 100 days
Name: date, dtype: timedelta64[ns
Then you can create your starting date and create the date column for the second DataFrame we created before:
from datetime import date
start = date(2000, 1, 1)
new_df['date'] = start
new_df['date'] = new_df['date'] + time_delta_series
new_df
value date
0 66.45 2000-01-01
1 65.36 2000-02-01
2 62.13 2000-02-21
3 63.84 2000-03-13
4 64.02 2000-03-20
5 63.88 2000-03-27
6 63.95 2000-04-03
7 63.85 2000-04-10
Rookie here so please excuse my question format:
I got an event time series dataset for two months (columns for "date/time" and "# of events", each row representing an hour).
I would like to highlight the 10 hours with the lowest numbers of events for each week. Is there a specific Pandas function for that? Thanks!
Let's say you have a dataframe df with column col as well as a datetime column.
You can simply sort the column with
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({'col' : [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15],
'datetime' : ['2019-01-01 00:00:00','2015-02-01 00:00:00','2015-03-01 00:00:00','2015-04-01 00:00:00',
'2018-05-01 00:00:00','2016-06-01 00:00:00','2017-07-01 00:00:00','2013-08-01 00:00:00',
'2015-09-01 00:00:00','2015-10-01 00:00:00','2015-11-01 00:00:00','2015-12-01 00:00:00',
'2014-01-01 00:00:00','2020-01-01 00:00:00','2014-01-01 00:00:00']})
df = df.sort_values('col')
df = df.iloc[0:10,:]
df
Output:
col datetime
0 1 2019-01-01 00:00:00
1 2 2015-02-01 00:00:00
2 3 2015-03-01 00:00:00
3 4 2015-04-01 00:00:00
4 5 2018-05-01 00:00:00
5 6 2016-06-01 00:00:00
6 7 2017-07-01 00:00:00
7 8 2013-08-01 00:00:00
8 9 2015-09-01 00:00:00
9 10 2015-10-01 00:00:00
I know there's a function called nlargest. I guess there should be an nsmallest counterpart. pandas.DataFrame.nsmallest
df.nsmallest(n=10, columns=['col'])
My bad, so your DateTimeIndex is a Hourly sampling. And you need the hour(s) with least events weekly.
...
Date n_events
2020-06-06 08:00:00 3
2020-06-06 09:00:00 3
2020-06-06 10:00:00 2
...
Well I'd start by converting each hour into columns.
1. Create an Hour column that holds the hour of the day.
df['hour'] = df['date'].hour
Pivot the hour values into columns having values as n_events.
So you'll then have 1 datetime index, 24 hour columns, with values denoting #events. pandas.DataFrame.pivot_table
...
Date hour0 ... hour8 hour9 hour10 ... hour24
2020-06-06 0 3 3 2 0
...
Then you can resample it to weekly level aggregate using sum.
df.resample('w').sum()
The last part is a bit tricky to do on the dataframe. But fairly simple if you just need the output.
for row in df.itertuples():
print(sorted(row[1:]))
I am looking to determine the count of string variables in a column across a 3 month data sample. Samples were taken at random times throughout each day. I can group the data by hour, but I require the fidelity of 30 minute intervals (ex. 0500-0600, 0600-0630) on roughly 10k rows of data.
An example of the data:
datetime stringvalues
2018-06-06 17:00 A
2018-06-07 17:30 B
2018-06-07 17:33 A
2018-06-08 19:00 B
2018-06-09 05:27 A
I have tried setting the datetime column as the index, but I cannot figure how to group the data on anything other than 'hour' and I don't have fidelity on the string value count:
df['datetime'] = pd.to_datetime(df['datetime']
df.index = df['datetime']
df.groupby(df.index.hour).count()
Which returns an output similar to:
datetime stringvalues
datetime
5 0 0
6 2 2
7 5 5
8 1 1
...
I researched multi-indexing and resampling to some length the past two days but I have been unable to find a similar question. The desired result would look something like this:
datetime A B
0500 1 2
0530 3 5
0600 4 6
0630 2 0
....
There is no straightforward way to do a TimeGrouper on the time component, so we do this in two steps:
v = (df.groupby([pd.Grouper(key='datetime', freq='30min'), 'stringvalues'])
.size()
.unstack(fill_value=0))
v.groupby(v.index.time).sum()
stringvalues A B
05:00:00 1 0
17:00:00 1 0
17:30:00 1 1
19:00:00 0 1
I have a bunch of dates in a pandas dataframe, mostly observed for July of each year, of type datetime64[ns].
In [126]:
e6.To.head()
Out[122]:
14 1991-07-01
15 1992-07-01
16 1993-07-01
17 1994-07-01
18 1995-07-01
Name: To, dtype: datetime64[ns]
I ultimately want to store in a separate variable the rolling difference from one row to the next using shift(), but I found subtracting dates to produce odd results. Here, I subtract a series of dates from itself (reprinting the first five results. Some of them are, as expected, 0, but others are obviously not.
In [127]:
(e6.To-e6.To).head()
Out[127]:
1 0 days
1 -3288 days
1 3288 days
1 0 days
2 0 days
Name: To, dtype: timedelta64[ns]
If I take just the top five observations and then subtract, I do not get this result, and get all 0's as expected:
In [128]:
e6.To.head()-e6.To.head()
Out[119]:
14 0 days
15 0 days
16 0 days
17 0 days
18 0 days
Name: To, dtype: timedelta64[ns]
I can't reproduce it if I 'enter' the data directly, like so:
In [128]:
test=pd.DataFrame(data=['1991-07-01','1992-07-01','1993-07-01','1994-07-01','1995-07-01','1996-07-01'],columns=['date'])
test['date']=test['date'].astype('datetime64')
test.date - test.date
Out[128]:
0 0 days
1 0 days
2 0 days
3 0 days
4 0 days
5 0 days
Name: date, dtype: timedelta64[ns]
Any ideas what I am doing wrong here?
Not quite an answer but I need some space to show something. My guess is that something weird is going on with indexing (I have no idea why, though). Note my comment about indexing above and also note #ASGM's comment about the difference being very close to 9 years.
I'm using your code to create the sample data above, but adding a few years and sticking to the name of 'e6' for the dataframe and 'To' for the variable in the event that matters (I really doubt it, but you know...)

I have pandas dataframe with Columns 'Date' and 'Skew(float no.)'. I want to average the values of the skew between every Tuesday and the store it in a list or dataframe. I tried using lambda as given in this question Pandas, groupby and summing over specific months I but it only helps to some over a particular week but i cannot go across week i.e from one tuesday to another. Can you give how to do the same?
Here's an example with random data
df = pd.DataFrame({'Date' : pd.date_range('20130101', periods=100),
'Skew': 10+pd.np.random.randn(100)})
min_date = df.Date.min()
start = min_date.dayofweek
if start < 1:
min_date = min_date - pd.np.timedelta64(6+start, 'D')
elif start > 1:
min_date = min_date - pd.np.timedelta64(start-1, 'D')
df.groupby((df.Date - min_date).astype('timedelta64[D]')//7).mean()
Input:
>>> df
Date Skew
0 2013-01-01 10.082080
