merging two dataframes together with similar column values [duplicate] - python

This question already has answers here:
Combine two pandas Data Frames (join on a common column)
(4 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
I have two dfs, one is longer than the other but they both have one column that contain the same values.
Here is my first df called weather:
DATE AWND PRCP SNOW WT01 WT02 TAVG
0 2017-01-01 5.59 0.00 0.0 NaN NaN 46
1 2017-01-02 9.17 0.21 0.0 1.0 NaN 40
2 2017-01-03 10.74 0.58 0.0 1.0 NaN 42
3 2017-01-04 8.05 0.00 0.0 1.0 NaN 47
4 2017-01-05 7.83 0.00 0.0 NaN NaN 34
Here is my 2nd df called bike:
DATE LENGTH ID AMOUNT
0 2017-01-01 3 1 5
1 2017-01-01 6 2 10
2 2017-01-02 9 3 100
3 2017-01-02 12 4 250
4 2017-01-03 15 5 45
So I want my df to copy over all rows from the weather df based upon the shared DATE column and copy it over.
DATE LENGTH ID AMOUNT AWND SNOW TAVG
0 2017-01-01 3 1 5 5.59 0 46
1 2017-01-01 6 2 10 5.59 0 46
2 2017-01-02 9 3 100 9.17 0 40
3 2017-01-02 12 4 250 9.17 0 40
4 2017-01-03 15 5 45 10.74 0 42
Please help! Maybe some type of join can be used.

Use merge
In [93]: bike.merge(weather[['DATE', 'AWND', 'SNOW', 'TAVG']], on='DATE')
Out[93]:
DATE LENGTH ID AMOUNT AWND SNOW TAVG
0 2017-01-01 3 1 5 5.59 0.0 46
1 2017-01-01 6 2 10 5.59 0.0 46
2 2017-01-02 9 3 100 9.17 0.0 40
3 2017-01-02 12 4 250 9.17 0.0 40
4 2017-01-03 15 5 45 10.74 0.0 42

Just use the same indexes and simple slicing
df2 = df2.set_index('DATE')
df2[['SNOW', 'TAVG']] = df.set_index('DATE')[['SNOW', 'TAVG']]

If you check the pandas docs, they explain all the different types of "merges" (joins) that you can do between two dataframes.
The common syntax for a merge looks like: pd.merge(weather, bike, on= 'DATE')
You can also make the merge more fancy by adding any of the arguments to your merge function that I listed below: (e.g specifying whether your want an inner vs right join)
Here are the arguments the function takes based on the current pandas docs:
pandas.merge(left, right, how='inner', on=None, left_on=None, right_on=None, left_index=False, right_index=False, sort=False, suffixes=('_x', '_y'), copy=True, indicator=False, validate=None)

Hope it helps!

Combining 2 dataframes of different lengths by nearest observed datetime index

I am currently trying to find a way to merge specific rows of df2 to df1 based on their datetime indices in a way that avoids lookahead bias so that I can add external features (df2) to my main dataset (df1) for ML applications. The lengths of the dataframes are different, and the datetime indices aren't increasing at a constant rate. My current thought process is to do this by using nested loops and if statements, but this method would be too slow as the dataframes I am trying to do this on both have over 30000 rows each. Is there a faster way of doing this?
df1
index a b
2015-06-02 16:00:00 0 5
2015-06-05 16:00:00 1 6
2015-06-06 16:00:00 2 7
2015-06-11 16:00:00 3 8
2015-06-12 16:00:00 4 9
df2
index c d
2015-06-02 9:03:00 10 16
2015-06-02 15:12:00 11 17
2015-06-02 16:07:00 12 18
... ... ...
2015-06-12 15:29:00 13 19
2015-06-12 16:02:00 14 20
2015-06-12 17:33:00 15 21
df_combined
(because you can't see the rows at 06-05, 06-06, 06-11, I just have NaN as the row values to make it easier to interpret)
index a b c d
2015-06-02 16:00:00 0 5 11 17
2015-06-05 16:00:00 1 NaN NaN NaN
2015-06-06 16:00:00 2 NaN NaN NaN
2015-06-11 16:00:00 3 NaN NaN NaN
2015-06-12 16:00:00 4 9 13 19
df_combined.loc[0, ['c', 'd']] and df_combined.loc[4, ['c', 'd']] are 11,17 and 13,19 respectively instead of 12,18 and 14,20 to avoid lookahead bias because in a live scenario, those values haven't been observed yet.
IIUC, you need merge_asof. assuming your index are ordered in time, it is with the direction backward.
print(pd.merge_asof(df1, df2, left_index=True, right_index=True, direction='backward'))
# a b c d
# 2015-06-02 16:00:00 0 5 11 17
# 2015-06-05 16:00:00 1 6 12 18
# 2015-06-06 16:00:00 2 7 12 18
# 2015-06-11 16:00:00 3 8 12 18
# 2015-06-12 16:00:00 4 9 13 19
Note that the dates 06-05, 06-06, 06-11 are not NaN but it is the last values in df2 (for 2015-06-02 16:07:00) being available before these dates in your given data.
Note: if what your dates are actually a column named index and not your index, then do:
print(pd.merge_asof(df1, df2, on='index', direction='backward'))

Conditional groupby on dates using pandas

I'm in a bit of a pickle. I've been working on a problem all day without seeing any real results. I'm working in Python and using Pandas for handling data.
What I'm trying to achieve is based on the customers previous interactions to sum each type of interaction. The timestamp of the interaction should be less than the timestamp of the survey. Ideally, I would like to sum the interactions for the customer during some period - like less than e.g. 5 years.
The first dataframe contains a customer ID, segmentation of that customer during in that survey e.g. 1 being "happy", 2 being "sad" and a timestamp for the time of the recorded segment or time of that survey.
import pandas as pd
#Generic example
customers = pd.DataFrame({"customerID":[1,1,1,2,2,3,4,4],"customerSeg":[1,2,2,1,2,3,3,3],"timestamp":['1999-01-01','2000-01-01','2000-06-01','2001-01-01','2003-01-01','1999-01-01','2005-01-01','2008-01-01']})
customers
Which yields something like:
customerID
customerSeg
timestamp
1
1
1999-01-01
1
1
2000-01-01

1999-01-01

2005-01-01

2008-01-01
The other dataframe contains interactions with that customer eg. at service and a phonecall.
interactions = pd.DataFrame({"customerID":[1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,4,4,4],"timestamp":['1999-07-01','1999-11-01','2000-03-01','2001-04-01','2000-12-01','2002-01-01','2004-03-01','2004-05-01','2000-01-01','2004-01-01','2009-01-01'],"service":[1,0,1,0,1,0,1,1,0,1,1],"phonecall":[0,1,1,1,1,1,0,1,1,0,1]})
interactions
Output:
customerID
timestamp
service
phonecall

I've tried almost everything, I could come up with. So, I would really appreciate some inputs. I'm pretty much confined to using Pandas and Python, since it's the language, I'm most familiar with, but also because I need to read a csv file of the customer segmentation.
I think you need several steps for transforming your data.
First of all, we convert the timestamp columns in both dataframes to datetime, so we can calculate the desired interval and do the comparisons:
customers['timestamp'] = pd.to_datetime(customers['timestamp'])
interactions['timestamp'] = pd.to_datetime(interactions['timestamp'])
After that, we create a new column that contains that start date (e.g. 5 years before the timestamp):
customers['start_date'] = customers['timestamp'] - pd.DateOffset(years=5)
Now we join the customers dataframe with the interactions dataframe on the customerID:
result = customers.merge(interactions, on='customerID', how='outer')
This yields
customerID customerSeg timestamp_x start_date timestamp_y service phonecall
0 1 1 1999-01-01 1994-01-01 1999-07-01 1.0 0.0
1 1 1 1999-01-01 1994-01-01 1999-11-01 0.0 1.0
2 1 1 1999-01-01 1994-01-01 2000-03-01 1.0 1.0
3 1 1 1999-01-01 1994-01-01 2001-04-01 0.0 1.0
4 1 2 2000-01-01 1995-01-01 1999-07-01 1.0 0.0
5 1 2 2000-01-01 1995-01-01 1999-11-01 0.0 1.0
6 1 2 2000-01-01 1995-01-01 2000-03-01 1.0 1.0
7 1 2 2000-01-01 1995-01-01 2001-04-01 0.0 1.0
...
Now here is how the condition is evaluated - what we want is that only those service and phonecall interactions will be used that are in rows that meet the condition (timestamp_y is in the interval between start_date and timestamp_x), so we replace the others by zero:
result['service'] = result.apply(lambda x: x.service if (x.timestamp_y >= x.start_date) and (x.timestamp_y <= x.timestamp_x) else 0, axis=1)
result['phonecall'] = result.apply(lambda x: x.phonecall if (x.timestamp_y >= x.start_date) and (x.timestamp_y <= x.timestamp_x) else 0, axis=1)
Finally we group the dataframe, summing up the service and phonecall interactions:
result = result.groupby(['customerID', 'timestamp_x', 'customerSeg'])[['service', 'phonecall']].sum()
Result:
service phonecall
customerID timestamp_x customerSeg
1 1999-01-01 1 0.0 0.0
2000-01-01 2 1.0 1.0
2000-06-01 2 2.0 2.0
2 2001-01-01 1 1.0 1.0
2003-01-01 2 1.0 2.0
3 1999-01-01 3 0.0 0.0
4 2005-01-01 3 1.0 1.0
2008-01-01 3 1.0 0.0
(Note that your customerSeg data in the sample code seems not quite to match the data in the table.)
One option is to use the conditional_join from pyjanitor to compute the rows that match the criteria, before grouping and summing:
# pip install git+https://github.com/pyjanitor-devs/pyjanitor.git
import pandas as pd
import janitor
customers['timestamp'] = pd.to_datetime(customers['timestamp'])
interactions['timestamp'] = pd.to_datetime(interactions['timestamp'])
customers['start_date'] = customers['timestamp'] - pd.DateOffset(years=5)
(interactions
.conditional_join(
customers,
# column from left, column from right, comparison operator
('timestamp', 'timestamp', '<='),
('timestamp', 'start_date', '>='),
('customerID', 'customerID', '=='),
how='right')
# drop irrelevant columns
.drop(columns=[('left', 'customerID'),
('left', 'timestamp'),
('right', 'start_date')])
# return to single index
.droplevel(0,1)
.groupby(['customerID', 'customerSeg', 'timestamp'])
.sum()
)
service phonecall
customerID customerSeg timestamp
1 1 1999-01-01 0.0 0.0
2 2000-01-01 1.0 1.0
2000-06-01 2.0 2.0
2 1 2001-01-01 1.0 1.0
2 2003-01-01 1.0 2.0
3 3 1999-01-01 0.0 0.0
4 3 2005-01-01 1.0 1.0

Time Diff on vertical dataframe in Python

I have a dataframe, df that looks like this
Date Value
10/1/2019 5
10/2/2019 10
10/3/2019 15
10/4/2019 20
10/5/2019 25
10/6/2019 30
10/7/2019 35
I would like to calculate the delta for a period of 7 days
Desired output:
Date Delta
10/1/2019 30
This is what I am doing: A user has helped me with a variation of the code below:
df['Delta']=df.iloc[0:,1].sub(df.iloc[6:,1]), Date=pd.Series
(pd.date_range(pd.Timestamp('2019-10-01'),
periods=7, freq='7d'))[['Delta','Date']]
Any suggestions is appreciated
Let us try shift
s = df.set_index('Date')['Value']
df['New'] = s.shift(freq = '-6 D').reindex(s.index).values
df['DIFF'] = df['New'] - df['Value']
df
Out[39]:
Date Value New DIFF
0 2019-10-01 5 35.0 30.0
1 2019-10-02 10 NaN NaN
2 2019-10-03 15 NaN NaN
3 2019-10-04 20 NaN NaN
4 2019-10-05 25 NaN NaN
5 2019-10-06 30 NaN NaN
6 2019-10-07 35 NaN NaN

Counting Number of Occurrences Between Dates (Given an ID value) From Another Dataframe

Pandas: select DF rows based on another DF is the closest answer I can find to my question, but I don't believe it quite solves it.
Anyway, I am working with two very large pandas dataframes (so speed is a consideration), df_emails and df_trips, both of which are already sorted by CustID and then by date.
df_emails includes the date we sent a customer an email and it looks like this:
CustID DateSent
0 2 2018-01-20
1 2 2018-02-19
2 2 2018-03-31
3 4 2018-01-10
4 4 2018-02-26
5 5 2018-02-01
6 5 2018-02-07
df_trips includes the dates a customer came to the store and how much they spent, and it looks like this:
CustID TripDate TotalSpend
0 2 2018-02-04 25
1 2 2018-02-16 100
2 2 2018-02-22 250
3 4 2018-01-03 50
4 4 2018-02-28 100
5 4 2018-03-21 100
6 8 2018-01-07 200
Basically, what I need to do is find the number of trips and total spend for each customer in between each email sent. If it is the last time an email is sent for a given customer, I need to find the total number of trips and total spend after the email, but before the end of the data (2018-04-01). So the final dataframe would look like this:
CustID DateSent NextDateSentOrEndOfData TripsBetween TotalSpendBetween
0 2 2018-01-20 2018-02-19 2.0 125.0
1 2 2018-02-19 2018-03-31 1.0 250.0
2 2 2018-03-31 2018-04-01 0.0 0.0
3 4 2018-01-10 2018-02-26 0.0 0.0
4 4 2018-02-26 2018-04-01 2.0 200.0
5 5 2018-02-01 2018-02-07 0.0 0.0
6 5 2018-02-07 2018-04-01 0.0 0.0
Though I have tried my best to do this in a Python/Pandas friendly way, the only accurate solution I have been able to implement is through an np.where, shifting, and looping. The solution looks like this:
df_emails["CustNthVisit"] = df_emails.groupby("CustID").cumcount()+1
df_emails["CustTotalVisit"] = df_emails.groupby("CustID")["CustID"].transform('count')
df_emails["NextDateSentOrEndOfData"] = pd.to_datetime(df_emails["DateSent"].shift(-1)).where(df_emails["CustNthVisit"] != df_emails["CustTotalVisit"], pd.to_datetime('04-01-2018'))
for i in df_emails.index:
df_emails.at[i, "TripsBetween"] = len(df_trips[(df_trips["CustID"] == df_emails.at[i, "CustID"]) & (df_trips["TripDate"] > df_emails.at[i,"DateSent"]) & (df_trips["TripDate"] < df_emails.at[i,"NextDateSentOrEndOfData"])])
for i in df_emails.index:
df_emails.at[i, "TotalSpendBetween"] = df_trips[(df_trips["CustID"] == df_emails.at[i, "CustID"]) & (df_trips["TripDate"] > df_emails.at[i,"DateSent"]) & (df_trips["TripDate"] < df_emails.at[i,"NextDateSentOrEndOfData"])].TotalSpend.sum()
df_emails.drop(['CustNthVisit',"CustTotalVisit"], axis=1, inplace=True)
However, a %%timeit has revealed that this takes 10.6ms on just the seven rows shown above, which makes this solution pretty much infeasible on my actual datasets of about 1,000,000 rows. Does anyone know a solution here that is faster and thus feasible?
Add the next date column to emails
df_emails["NextDateSent"] = df_emails.groupby("CustID").shift(-1)
Sort for merge_asof and then merge to nearest to create a trip lookup table
df_emails = df_emails.sort_values("DateSent")
df_trips = df_trips.sort_values("TripDate")
df_lookup = pd.merge_asof(df_trips, df_emails, by="CustID", left_on="TripDate",right_on="DateSent", direction="backward")
Aggregate the lookup table for the data you want.
df_lookup = df_lookup.loc[:, ["CustID", "DateSent", "TotalSpend"]].groupby(["CustID", "DateSent"]).agg(["count","sum"])
Left join it back to the email table.
df_merge = df_emails.join(df_lookup, on=["CustID", "DateSent"]).sort_values("CustID")
I choose to leave NaNs as NaNs because I don't like filling default values (you can always do that later if you prefer, but you can't easily distinguish between things that existed vs things that didn't if you put defaults in early)
CustID DateSent NextDateSent (TotalSpend, count) (TotalSpend, sum)
0 2 2018-01-20 2018-02-19 2.0 125.0
1 2 2018-02-19 2018-03-31 1.0 250.0
2 2 2018-03-31 NaT NaN NaN
3 4 2018-01-10 2018-02-26 NaN NaN
4 4 2018-02-26 NaT 2.0 200.0
5 5 2018-02-01 2018-02-07 NaN NaN
6 5 2018-02-07 NaT NaN NaN
This would be an easy case of merge_asof had I been able to handle the max_date, so I go a long way:
max_date = pd.to_datetime('2018-04-01')
# set_index for easy extraction by id
df_emails.set_index('CustID', inplace=True)
# we want this later in the final output
df_emails['NextDateSentOrEndOfData'] = df_emails.groupby('CustID').shift(-1).fillna(max_date)
# cuts function for groupby
def cuts(df):
custID = df.CustID.iloc[0]
bins=list(df_emails.loc[[custID], 'DateSent']) + [max_date]
return pd.cut(df.TripDate, bins=bins, right=False)
# bin the dates:
s = df_trips.groupby('CustID', as_index=False, group_keys=False).apply(cuts)
# aggregate the info:
new_df = (df_trips.groupby([df_trips.CustID, s])
.TotalSpend.agg(['sum', 'size'])
.reset_index()
)
# get the right limit:
new_df['NextDateSentOrEndOfData'] = new_df.TripDate.apply(lambda x: x.right)
# drop the unnecessary info
new_df.drop('TripDate', axis=1, inplace=True)
# merge:
df_emails.reset_index().merge(new_df,
on=['CustID','NextDateSentOrEndOfData'],
how='left'
)
Output:
CustID DateSent NextDateSentOrEndOfData sum size
0 2 2018-01-20 2018-02-19 125.0 2.0
1 2 2018-02-19 2018-03-31 250.0 1.0

Fill missing dates

I have dataframe contains temperature readings from different areas and in different dates
I want to add the missing dates for each location with zero temperature
for example:
df=pd.DataFrame({"area_id":[1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3],
"reading_date":["13/1/2017","15/1/2017"
,"16/1/2017","22/3/2017","26/3/2017"
,"28/3/2017","15/5/2017"

What is the most efficient way to fill dates gap per area (by zeros) as shown below
Many Thanks.
Use:
first convert to datetime column reading_date by to_datetime
set_index for DatetimeIndex and groupby with resample
for Series add asfreq
replace NaNs by fillna
last add reset_index for columns from MultiIndex
df['reading_date'] = pd.to_datetime(df['reading_date'])
df = (df.set_index('reading_date')
.groupby('area_id')
.resample('d')['temp']
.asfreq()
.fillna(0)
.reset_index())
print (df)
area_id reading_date temp

Using reindex. Define a custom function to handle the reindexing operation, and call it inside groupby.apply.
def reindex(x):
# Thanks to #jezrael for the improvement.
return x.reindex(pd.date_range(x.index.min(), x.index.max()), fill_value=0)
Next, convert reading_date to datetime first, using pd.to_datetime,
df.reading_date = pd.to_datetime(df.reading_date)
Now, perform a groupby.
df = (
df.set_index('reading_date')
.groupby('area_id')
.temp
.apply(reindex)
.reset_index()
)
df.columns = ['area_id', 'reading_date', 'temp']
df
area_id reading_date temp
