Aggregation based on previous month from eventdate

I'm Stuck on a problem it would be great if you could help me :)
I created a dataframe with pandas:
looks like that:
HostName
Date
A
2021-01-01 12:30
B
2021-01-01 12:42
B
2021-02-01 12:30
A
2021-02-01 12:40
A
2021-02-25 12:40
A
2021-03-01 12:41
A
2021-03-01 12:42
I try to Aggregat based on the previous month but it's not working.
the end result should look like this:
HostName
Date
previous month
A
2021-01-01 12:30
Nan
B
2021-01-01 12:42
Nan
B
2021-02-01 12:30
1
A
2021-02-01 12:40
Nan
A
2021-02-25 12:40
1
A
2021-03-01 12:41
2
A
2021-03-01 12:42
3
for every row Date should look one-month before and Aggregat the number of Hostnames found.
for example row number 6 count HostName A from 2021-02-01 12:41 to 2021-03-01 12:41
what I try to do and failed:
extract the previous month:
df['Date Before'] = df['Date'] - pd.DateOffset(months=1)
and Aggregate between this month
df.resample('M', on='Date').HostName.count()
df.groupby('HostName').resample('M', on='Date Before').HostName.count()
Please Help Me many thanks!!!

use shift to look back a n rows for a dataframe column. df is the group by results.
data1="""HostName Date

df = pd.read_table(StringIO(data1), sep='\t')
df['Date']=pd.to_datetime(df['Date'])
grouped=df.groupby('HostName')['Date']
def previous_date(group):
return group.sort_values().shift(1)
df['Previous Date']=grouped.apply(previous_date)
df['Previous Count']=df.apply(lambda x: x['Date']-x['Previous Date'],axis=1)
print(df.sort_values(by=["HostName","Date"]))
df['Con'] = np.where( (df['Previous Date'].notnull() & df['Previous Count']>0) , 1, 0)
print(df.sort_values(by=["HostName","Date"]))
output:

5 A 2021-03-01 12:41:00
6 A 2021-03-01 12:42:00
get month before
df['Month Before'] = df['Date'] - pd.DateOffset(months=1)
order datafarme
df = df.sort_values(['HostName','Date'])
shift by Host
df['prev_value'] = df.groupby('HostName')['Date'].shift()
checking
df['Con'] = np.where((df['Month Before'] <= df['prev_value']) | (df['prev_value'].notnull()) , 1, 0)
and group
gpc = df.groupby(['HostName','Con'])['HostName']
df['Count Per Host'] = gpc.cumcount()
look like that
HostName Date Month Before prev_value Con CountPerHost

| 3 |2000-01-02 05:00:00|2000-01-02 01:15:00| 1 | 1

Try using groupby, diff, abs, agg and assign:
df[['start_time', 'end_time']] = df[['start_time', 'end_time']].apply(pd.to_datetime)
x = df.groupby('station_id').agg({'start_time': 'first', 'end_time': 'last'})
temp = x.diff(axis=1).abs()['end_time']
x = x.assign(years=temp.dt.days // 365, days=temp.dt.days % 365).reset_index()
print(x)

Finding maximum null values in stretch and generating flag

I have dataframe with datetime and two columns.I have to find maximum stretch of null values in a 'particular date' for column 'X' and replace it with zero in both column for that particular date. In addition to that I have to create third column with name 'flag' which will carry value of 1 for every zero imputation in other two column or else value of 0. In example below, January 1st the maximum stretch null value is 3 times, so I have to replace this with zero. Similarly, I have to replicate the process for 2nd January.
Below is my sample data:
Datetime X Y

This question is the extension of previous question. Here is the link Python - Find maximum null values in stretch and replacing with 0

First create consecutive groups for each column filled by unique values:
df1 = df.isna()
df2 = df1.ne(df1.groupby(df1.index.date).shift()).cumsum().where(df1)
df2['Y'] *= len(df2)
print (df2)
X Y
Datetime
2018-01-01 00:00:00 NaN NaN
2018-01-01 00:05:00 2.0 NaN
2018-01-01 00:10:00 NaN 36.0
2018-01-01 00:15:00 NaN NaN
2018-01-01 00:20:00 NaN NaN
2018-01-01 00:25:00 4.0 NaN
2018-01-01 00:30:00 4.0 72.0
2018-01-01 00:35:00 4.0 72.0
2018-01-01 00:40:00 NaN NaN
2018-02-01 00:00:00 6.0 108.0
2018-02-01 00:05:00 NaN NaN
2018-02-01 00:10:00 NaN NaN
2018-02-01 00:15:00 NaN NaN

2018-02-01 00:35:00 NaN 180.0
2018-02-01 00:40:00 10.0 180.0
Then get groups with maximum count - here group 4:
a = df2.stack().value_counts().index[0]
print (a)
4.0
Get mask for match rows for set 0 and for Flag column cast mask to integer to Tru/False to 1/0 mapping:
mask = df2.eq(a).any(axis=1)
df.loc[mask,:] = 0
df['Flag'] = mask.astype(int)
print (df)

Iterating through datetime64 columns in pandas dataframe [duplicate]

I have two columns in a Pandas data frame that are dates.
I am looking to subtract one column from another and the result being the difference in numbers of days as an integer.
A peek at the data:
df_test.head(10)
Out[20]:
First_Date Second Date
0 2016-02-09 2015-11-19
1 2016-01-06 2015-11-30
2 NaT 2015-12-04
3 2016-01-06 2015-12-08
4 NaT 2015-12-09
5 2016-01-07 2015-12-11
6 NaT 2015-12-12
7 NaT 2015-12-14
8 2016-01-06 2015-12-14
9 NaT 2015-12-15
I have created a new column successfully with the difference:
df_test['Difference'] = df_test['First_Date'].sub(df_test['Second Date'], axis=0)
df_test.head()
Out[22]:
First_Date Second Date Difference
0 2016-02-09 2015-11-19 82 days
1 2016-01-06 2015-11-30 37 days
2 NaT 2015-12-04 NaT
3 2016-01-06 2015-12-08 29 days
4 NaT 2015-12-09 NaT
However I am unable to get a numeric version of the result:
df_test['Difference'] = df_test[['Difference']].apply(pd.to_numeric)
df_test.head()
Out[25]:
First_Date Second Date Difference
0 2016-02-09 2015-11-19 7.084800e+15
1 2016-01-06 2015-11-30 3.196800e+15
2 NaT 2015-12-04 NaN
3 2016-01-06 2015-12-08 2.505600e+15
4 NaT 2015-12-09 NaN

How about:
df_test['Difference'] = (df_test['First_Date'] - df_test['Second Date']).dt.days
This will return difference as int if there are no missing values(NaT) and float if there is.
Pandas have a rich documentation on Time series / date functionality and Time deltas

You can divide column of dtype timedelta by np.timedelta64(1, 'D'), but output is not int, but float, because NaN values:
df_test['Difference'] = df_test['Difference'] / np.timedelta64(1, 'D')
print (df_test)
First_Date Second Date Difference
0 2016-02-09 2015-11-19 82.0
1 2016-01-06 2015-11-30 37.0
2 NaT 2015-12-04 NaN
3 2016-01-06 2015-12-08 29.0
4 NaT 2015-12-09 NaN
5 2016-01-07 2015-12-11 27.0
6 NaT 2015-12-12 NaN
7 NaT 2015-12-14 NaN
8 2016-01-06 2015-12-14 23.0
9 NaT 2015-12-15 NaN
Frequency conversion.

You can use datetime module to help here. Also, as a side note, a simple date subtraction should work as below:
import datetime as dt
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
#Assume we have df_test:

Now, change type to datetime.timedelta, and then use the .days method on valid timedelta objects.

Hope that helps.

I feel that the overall answer does not handle if the dates 'wrap' around a year. This would be useful in understanding proximity to a date being accurate by day of year. In order to do these row operations, I did the following. (I had this used in a business setting in renewing customer subscriptions).
def get_date_difference(row, x, y):
try:
# Calcuating the smallest date difference between the start and the close date
# There's some tricky logic in here to calculate for determining date difference
# the other way around (Dec -> Jan is 1 month rather than 11)
sub_start_date = int(row[x].strftime('%j')) # day of year (1-366)
close_date = int(row[y].strftime('%j')) # day of year (1-366)
later_date_of_year = max(sub_start_date, close_date)
earlier_date_of_year = min(sub_start_date, close_date)
days_diff = later_date_of_year - earlier_date_of_year
# Calculates the difference going across the next year (December -> Jan)
days_diff_reversed = (365 - later_date_of_year) + earlier_date_of_year
return min(days_diff, days_diff_reversed)
except ValueError:
return None
Then the function could be:
dfAC_Renew['date_difference'] = dfAC_Renew.apply(get_date_difference, x = 'customer_since_date', y = 'renewal_date', axis = 1)

Create a vectorized method
def calc_xb_minus_xa(df):
time_dict = {
'<Minute>': 'm',
'<Hour>': 'h',
'<Day>': 'D',
'<Week>': 'W',
'<Month>': 'M',
'<Year>': 'Y'
}
time_delta = df.at[df.index[0], 'end_time'] - df.at[df.index[0], 'open_time']
offset_base_name = str(to_offset(time_delta).base)
time_term = time_dict.get(offset_base_name)
result = (df.end_time - df.open_time) / np.timedelta64(1, time_term)
return result
Then in your df do:
df['x'] = calc_xb_minus_xa(df)
This will work for minutes, hours, days, weeks, month and Year.
open_time and end_time need to change according your df

How to resample a df with datetime index to exactly n equally sized periods?

I've got a large dataframe with a datetime index and need to resample data to exactly 10 equally sized periods.
So far, I've tried finding the first and last dates to determine the total number of days in the data, divide that by 10 to determine the size of each period, then resample using that number of days. eg:
first = df.reset_index().timesubmit.min()
last = df.reset_index().timesubmit.max()
periodsize = str((last-first).days/10) + 'D'
df.resample(periodsize,how='sum')
This doesn't guarantee exactly 10 periods in the df after resampling since the periodsize is a rounded down int. Using a float doesn't work in the resampling. Seems that either there's something simple that I'm missing here, or I'm attacking the problem all wrong.

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
n = 10
nrows = 33
index = pd.date_range('2000-1-1', periods=nrows, freq='D')
df = pd.DataFrame(np.ones(nrows), index=index)
print(df)
# 0
# 2000-01-01 1
# 2000-01-02 1
# ...
# 2000-02-01 1
# 2000-02-02 1
first = df.index.min()
last = df.index.max() + pd.Timedelta('1D')
secs = int((last-first).total_seconds()//n)
periodsize = '{:d}S'.format(secs)
result = df.resample(periodsize, how='sum')
print('\n{}'.format(result))
assert len(result) == n
yields
0

The values in the 0-column indicate the number of rows that were aggregated, since the original DataFrame was filled with values of 1. The pattern of 4's and 3's is about as even as you can get since 33 rows can not be evenly grouped into 10 groups.
Explanation: Consider this simpler DataFrame:
n = 2
nrows = 5
index = pd.date_range('2000-1-1', periods=nrows, freq='D')
df = pd.DataFrame(np.ones(nrows), index=index)
# 0
# 2000-01-01 1
# 2000-01-02 1
# 2000-01-03 1
# 2000-01-04 1
# 2000-01-05 1
Using df.resample('2D', how='sum') gives the wrong number of groups
In [366]: df.resample('2D', how='sum')
Out[366]:
0
2000-01-01 2
2000-01-03 2
2000-01-05 1
Using df.resample('3D', how='sum') gives the right number of groups, but the
second group starts at 2000-01-04 which does not evenly divide the DataFrame
into two equally-spaced groups:
In [367]: df.resample('3D', how='sum')
Out[367]:
0
2000-01-01 3
2000-01-04 2
To do better, we need to work at a finer time resolution than in days. Since Timedeltas have a total_seconds method, let's work in seconds. So for the example above, the desired frequency string would be
In [374]: df.resample('216000S', how='sum')
Out[374]:
0
2000-01-01 00:00:00 3
2000-01-03 12:00:00 2
since there are 216000*2 seconds in 5 days:
In [373]: (pd.Timedelta(days=5) / pd.Timedelta('1S'))/2
Out[373]: 216000.0
Okay, so now all we need is a way to generalize this. We'll want the minimum and maximum dates in the index:
first = df.index.min()
last = df.index.max() + pd.Timedelta('1D')
We add an extra day because it makes the difference in days come out right. In
the example above, There are only 4 days between the Timestamps for 2000-01-05
and 2000-01-01,
In [377]: (pd.Timestamp('2000-01-05')-pd.Timestamp('2000-01-01')).days
Out[378]: 4
But as we can see in the worked example, the DataFrame has 5 rows representing 5
days. So it makes sense that we need to add an extra day.
Now we can compute the correct number of seconds in each equally-spaced group with:
secs = int((last-first).total_seconds()//n)

Here is one way to ensure equal-size sub-periods by using np.linspace() on pd.Timedelta and then classifying each obs into different bins using pd.cut.
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
# generate artificial data
np.random.seed(0)
df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(100, 2), columns=['A', 'B'], index=pd.date_range('2015-01-01 00:00:00', periods=100, freq='8H'))

Another potential shorter way to do this is to specify your sampling freq as the time delta. But the problem, as shown in below, is that it delivers 11 sub-samples instead of 10. I believe the reason is that the resample implements a left-inclusive/right-exclusive (or left-exclusive/right-inclusive) sub-sampling scheme so that the very last obs at '2015-02-03 00:00:00' is considered as a separate group. If we use pd.cut to do it ourself, we can specify include_lowest=True so that it gives us exactly 10 sub-samples rather than 11.
n = 10
time_delta_str = str((df.index[-1] - df.index[0]) / (pd.Timedelta('1s') * n)) + 's'
df.resample(pd.Timedelta(time_delta_str), how='sum')
