How to set ranges of rows in pandas?

I have the following working code that sets 1 to "new_col" at the locations pointed by intervals dictated by starts and ends.
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
df = pd.DataFrame({"a": np.arange(10)})
starts = [1, 5, 8]
ends = [1, 6, 10]
value = 1
df["new_col"] = 0
for s, e in zip(starts, ends):
df.loc[s:e, "new_col"] = value
print(df)
a new_col
0 0 0
1 1 1
2 2 0
3 3 0
4 4 0
5 5 1
6 6 1
7 7 0
8 8 1
9 9 1
I want these intervals to come from another dataframe pointer_df.
How to vectorize this?
pointer_df = pd.DataFrame({"starts": starts, "ends": ends})
Attempt:
df.loc[pointer_df["starts"]:pointer_df["ends"], "new_col"] = 2
print(df)
obviously doesn't work and gives
raise AssertionError("Start slice bound is non-scalar")
AssertionError: Start slice bound is non-scalar
EDIT:
it seems all answers use some kind of pythonic for loop.
the question was how to vectorize the operation above?
Is this not doable without for loops/list comprehentions?

You could do:
pointer_df = pd.DataFrame({"starts": starts, "ends": ends})
rang = np.arange(len(df))
indices = [i for s, e in pointer_df.to_numpy() for i in rang[slice(s, e + 1, None)]]
df.loc[indices, 'new_col'] = value
print(df)
Output
a new_col
0 0 0
1 1 1
2 2 0
3 3 0
4 4 0
5 5 1
6 6 1
7 7 0
8 8 1
9 9 1
If you want a method that do not uses uses any for loop or list comprehension, only relies on numpy, you could do:
def indices(start, end, ma=10):
limits = end + 1
lens = np.where(limits < ma, limits, end) - start
np.cumsum(lens, out=lens)
i = np.ones(lens[-1], dtype=int)
i[0] = start[0]
i[lens[:-1]] += start[1:]
i[lens[:-1]] -= limits[:-1]
np.cumsum(i, out=i)
return i
pointer_df = pd.DataFrame({"starts": starts, "ends": ends})
df.loc[indices(pointer_df.starts.values, pointer_df.ends.values, ma=len(df)), "new_col"] = value
print(df)
I adapted the method to your use case from the one in this answer.

for i,j in zip(pointer_df["starts"],pointer_df["ends"]):
print (i,j)
Apply same method but on your dictionary

Summing by string names Pandas

I'm working with a data frame like this, but bigger and with more zone. I am trying to sum the value of the rows by their names. The total sum of the R or C zones goes in total column while the total sum of either M zones goes in total1 .
Input:
total, total1 are the desired output.
ID Zone1 CHC1 Value1 Zone2 CHC2 Value2 Zone3 CHC3 Value3 total total1
1 R5B 100 10 C2 0 20 R10A 2 5 35 0
1 C2 95 20 M2-6 5 6 R5B 7 3 23 6
3 C2 40 4 C4 60 6 0 6 0 10 0
3 C1 100 8 0 0 0 0 100 0 8 0
5 M1-5 10 6 M2-6 86 15 0 0 0 0 21

You can use filter for DataFrames for Zones and Values:
z = df.filter(like='Zone')
v = df.filter(like='Value')
Then create boolean DataFrames by contains with apply if want check substrings:
m1 = z.apply(lambda x: x.str.contains('R|C'))
m2 = z.apply(lambda x: x.str.contains('M'))
#for check strings
#m1 = z == 'R2'
#m2 = z.isin(['C1', 'C4'])
Last filter by where v and sum per rows:
df['t'] = v.where(m1.values).sum(axis=1).astype(int)
df['t1'] = v.where(m2.values).sum(axis=1).astype(int)
print (df)
ID Zone1 CHC1 Value1 Zone2 CHC2 Value2 Zone3 CHC3 Value3 t t1
0 1 R5B 100 10 C2 0 20 R10A 2 5 35 0
1 1 C2 95 20 M2-6 5 6 R5B 7 3 23 6
2 3 C2 40 4 C4 60 6 0 6 0 10 0
3 3 C1 100 8 0 0 0 0 100 0 8 0
4 5 M1-5 10 6 M2-6 86 15 0 0 0 0 21

Solution1 (simpler code but slower and less flexible)
total = []
total1 = []
for i in range(df.shape[0]):
temp = df.iloc[i].tolist()
if "R2" in temp:
total.append(temp[temp.index("R2")+1])
else:
total.append(0)
if ("C1" in temp) & ("C4" in temp):
total1.append(temp[temp.index("C1")+1] + temp[temp.index("C4")+1])
else:
total1.append(0)
df["Total"] = total
df["Total1"] = total1
Solution2 (faster than solution1 and easier to customize but possibly memory intensive)
# columns to use
cols = df.columns.tolist()
zones = [x for x in cols if x.startswith('Zone')]
vals = [x for x in cols if x.startswith('Value')]
# you can customize here
bucket1 = ['R2']
bucket2 = ['C1', 'C4']
thresh = 2 # "OR": 1, "AND": 2
original = df.copy()
# bucket1 check
for zone in zones:
df.loc[~df[zone].isin(bucket1), cols[cols.index(zone)+1]] = 0
original['Total'] = df[vals].sum(axis=1)
df = original.copy()
# bucket2 check
for zone in zones:
df.loc[~df[zone].isin(bucket2), cols[cols.index(zone)+1]] = 0
df['Check_Bucket'] = df[zones].stack().reset_index().groupby('level_0')[0].apply(list)
df['Check_Bucket'] = df['Check_Bucket'].apply(lambda x: len([y for y in x if y in bucket2]))
df['Total1'] = df[vals].sum(axis=1)
df.loc[df.Check_Bucket < thresh, 'Total1'] = 0
df.drop('Check_Bucket', axis=1, inplace=True)
When I expanded original dataframe to 100k rows, solution 1 took 11.4 s ± 82.1 ms per loop, while solution 2 took 3.53 s ± 29.8 ms per loop. The difference is because solution 2 does not for-looping over row direction.

Comparing values from Pandas data frame column using offset values from another column

I have a data frame as:
Time InvInstance
5 5
8 4
9 3
19 2
20 1
3 3
8 2
13 1
Time variable is sorted and InvInstance variable denotes the number of rows to the end of a Time block. I want to create another column showing whether a crossover condition is met within the Time column. I can do it with a for loop like that:
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
df = pd.read_csv("test.csv")
df["10mMark"] = 0
for i in range(1,len(df)):
r = int(df.InvInstance.iloc[i])
rprev = int(df.InvInstance.iloc[i-1])
m = df['Time'].iloc[i+r-1] - df['Time'].iloc[i]
mprev = df['Time'].iloc[i-1+rprev-1] - df['Time'].iloc[i-1]
df["10mMark"].iloc[i] = np.where((m < 10) & (mprev >= 10),1,0)
And the desired output is:
Time InvInstance 10mMark
5 5 0
8 4 0
9 3 0
19 2 1
20 1 0
3 3 0
8 2 1
13 1 0
To be more specific; there are 2 sorted time blocks in the Time column, and going row by row we know the distance (in terms of rows) to the end of each block by the value of InvInstance. The question is whether the time difference between a row and the end of the block is less than 10 minutes and it was greater than 10 in the previous row. Is it possible to do this without loops such as shift() etc, so that it runs much faster?

I don't see/know how to use internal vectorized Pandas/Numpy methods for shifting Series/Array using a non-scalar / vector step, but we can use Numba here:
from numba import jit
#jit
def dyn_shift(s, step):
assert len(s) == len(step), "[s] and [step] should have the same length"
assert isinstance(s, np.ndarray), "[s] should have [numpy.ndarray] dtype"
assert isinstance(step, np.ndarray), "[step] should have [numpy.ndarray] dtype"
N = len(s)
res = np.empty(N, dtype=s.dtype)
for i in range(N):
res[i] = s[i+step[i]-1]
return res
mask1 = dyn_shift(df.Time.values, df.InvInstance.values) - df.Time < 10
mask2 = (dyn_shift(df.Time.values, df.InvInstance.values) - df.Time).shift() >= 10
df['10mMark'] = np.where(mask1 & mask2,1,0)
result:
In [6]: df
Out[6]:
Time InvInstance 10mMark
0 5 5 0
1 8 4 0
2 9 3 0
3 19 2 1
4 20 1 0
5 3 3 0
6 8 2 1
7 13 1 0

Actually, your m is the time delta between the time of a row and the time at the end of the 'block' and the mprev is the same thing but with the time at the previous row (so it's actually shift of m). My idea is to create a column containing the time at the end of the block, by first identifying each block, then merge with the last time when using groupby on block . Then calculate the difference for creating a column 'm' and use the np.where and shift to finally fill the column 10mMark.
# a column with incremental value for each block end
df['block'] = df.InvInstance[df.InvInstance ==1].cumsum()
#to back fill the number to get all block with same value of block
df['block'] = df['block'].bfill() #to back fill the number
# now merge to create a column time_last with the time at the end of the block
df = df.merge(df.groupby('block', as_index=False)['Time'].last(), on = 'block', suffixes=('','_last'), how='left')
# create column m with just a difference
df['m'] = df['Time_last'] - df['Time']
# now you can use np.where and shift on this column to create the 10mMark column
df['10mMark'] = np.where((df['m'] < 10) & (df['m'].shift() >= 10),1,0)
#just drop the useless column
df = df.drop(['block', 'Time_last','m'],1)
your final result before dropping, to see what as been created, looks like
Time InvInstance block Time_last m 10mMark
0 5 5 1.0 20 15 0
1 8 4 1.0 20 12 0
2 9 3 1.0 20 11 0
3 19 2 1.0 20 1 1
4 20 1 1.0 20 0 0
5 3 3 2.0 13 10 0
6 8 2 2.0 13 5 1
7 13 1 2.0 13 0 0
in which the column 10mMark has the expected result
It is not as efficient as with the solution of #MaxU with Numba, but with a df of 8000 rows as he used, I get speed up factor of about 350.

How to count the number of time intervals that meet a boolean condition within a pandas dataframe?

I have a pandas df with a time series in column1, and a boolean condition in column2. This describes continuous time intervals that meet a specific condition. Note that the time intervals are of unequal length.
Timestamp Boolean_condition
1 1
2 1
3 0
4 1
5 1
6 1
7 0
8 0
9 1
10 0
How to count the total number of time intervals within the whole series that meet this condition?
The desired output should look like this:
Timestamp Boolean_condition Event_number
1 1 1
2 1 1
3 0 NaN
4 1 2
5 1 2
6 1 2
7 0 NaN
8 0 NaN
9 1 3
10 0 NaN

You can create Series with cumsum of two masks and then create NaN by function Series.mask:
mask0 = df.Boolean_condition.eq(0)
mask2 = df.Boolean_condition.ne(df.Boolean_condition.shift(1))
print ((mask2 & mask0).cumsum().add(1))
0 1
1 1
2 2
3 2
4 2
5 2
6 3
7 3
8 3
9 4
Name: Boolean_condition, dtype: int32
df['Event_number'] = (mask2 & mask0).cumsum().add(1).mask(mask0)
print (df)
Timestamp Boolean_condition Event_number
0 1 1 1.0
1 2 1 1.0
2 3 0 NaN
3 4 1 2.0
4 5 1 2.0
5 6 1 2.0
6 7 0 NaN
7 8 0 NaN
8 9 1 3.0
9 10 0 NaN

You could try the following:
1) Get all values of True instance (here, 1) which comprises of isone
2) Take it's corresponding set of indices and convert this to a series representation so that the new series has both it's index and values as the earlier computed indices. Perform the difference between successive rows and check if they are equal to 1. This becomes our boolean mask.
3) Compare isone with the obtained boolean mask and whenever they do not become equal, we take their cumulative sum (also known as adjacency check between elements). These help us in grouping purposes.
4) Using loc for the indices of isone, we assign the codes computed after changing the grp array to Categorical format to a new column created, Event_number.
isone = df.Bolean_condition[df.Bolean_condition.eq(1)]
idx = isone.index
grp = (isone != idx.to_series().diff().eq(1)).cumsum()
df.loc[idx, 'Event_number'] = pd.Categorical(grp).codes + 1
Faster approach:
Using only numpy:
1) Get it's array representation.
2) Compute the non-zero, here (1's) indices.
3) Insert NaN at the beginning of this array which would act as a starting point for us to perform difference taking successive rows into consideration.
4) Initialize a new array filled with Nan's of the same shape as that of the original array.
5) Whenever the difference between successive rows is not equal to 1, we take their cumulative sum, else they fall in the same group. These values get imputed at the indices where there were 1's before.
6) Assign these back to the new column.
def nick(df):
b = df.Bolean_condition.values
slc = np.flatnonzero(b)
slc_pl_1 = np.append(np.nan, slc)
nan_arr = np.full(b.size, fill_value=np.nan)

df.iloc[y,2] = 0
if x[1] == 1 and previous == 0:

A custom function does the trick. here is a solution in Matlab code:
Boolean_condition = [1 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 0];
Event_number = [NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA];
loop_event_number = 1;
for timestamp=1:10

Event_number(timestamp) = loop_event_number;
last_event_number = loop_event_number;
else
loop_event_number = last_event_number +1;

Identifying consecutive occurrences of a value in a column of a pandas DataFrame

I have a df like so:
Count
1
0
1
1
0
0
1
1
1
0
and I want to return a 1 in a new column if there are two or more consecutive occurrences of 1 in Count and a 0 if there is not. So in the new column each row would get a 1 based on this criteria being met in the column Count. My desired output would then be:
Count New_Value
1 0
0 0
1 1
1 1
0 0
0 0
1 1
1 1
1 1
0 0
I am thinking I may need to use itertools but I have been reading about it and haven't come across what I need yet. I would like to be able to use this method to count any number of consecutive occurrences, not just 2 as well. For example, sometimes I need to count 10 consecutive occurrences, I just use 2 in the example here.

You could:
df['consecutive'] = df.Count.groupby((df.Count != df.Count.shift()).cumsum()).transform('size') * df.Count
to get:
Count consecutive
0 1 1
1 0 0
2 1 2
3 1 2
4 0 0
5 0 0
6 1 3
7 1 3
8 1 3
9 0 0
From here you can, for any threshold:
threshold = 2
df['consecutive'] = (df.consecutive > threshold).astype(int)
to get:
Count consecutive
0 1 0
1 0 0
2 1 1
3 1 1
4 0 0
5 0 0
6 1 1
7 1 1
8 1 1
9 0 0
or, in a single step:
(df.Count.groupby((df.Count != df.Count.shift()).cumsum()).transform('size') * df.Count >= threshold).astype(int)
In terms of efficiency, using pandas methods provides a significant speedup when the size of the problem grows:
df = pd.concat([df for _ in range(1000)])
%timeit (df.Count.groupby((df.Count != df.Count.shift()).cumsum()).transform('size') * df.Count >= threshold).astype(int)
1000 loops, best of 3: 1.47 ms per loop
compared to:
%%timeit
l = []
for k, g in groupby(df.Count):
size = sum(1 for _ in g)
if k == 1 and size >= 2:
l = l + [1]*size
else:
l = l + [0]*size
pd.Series(l)
10 loops, best of 3: 76.7 ms per loop

Not sure if this is optimized, but you can give it a try:
from itertools import groupby
import pandas as pd
l = []
for k, g in groupby(df.Count):
size = sum(1 for _ in g)
if k == 1 and size >= 2:
l = l + [1]*size
else:
l = l + [0]*size
df['new_Value'] = pd.Series(l)
df
