I have a dataframe where one column is a list of groups each of my users belongs to. Something like:
index groups
0 ['a','b','c']
1 ['c']
2 ['b','c','e']
3 ['a','c']
4 ['b','e']
And what I would like to do is create a series of dummy columns to identify which groups each user belongs to in order to run some analyses
index a b c d e
0 1 1 1 0 0
1 0 0 1 0 0
2 0 1 1 0 1
3 1 0 1 0 0
4 0 1 0 0 0
pd.get_dummies(df['groups'])
won't work because that just returns a column for each different list in my column.
The solution needs to be efficient as the dataframe will contain 500,000+ rows.
Using s for your df['groups']:
In [21]: s = pd.Series({0: ['a', 'b', 'c'], 1:['c'], 2: ['b', 'c', 'e'], 3: ['a', 'c'], 4: ['b', 'e'] })
In [22]: s
Out[22]:
0 [a, b, c]
1 [c]
2 [b, c, e]
3 [a, c]
4 [b, e]
dtype: object
This is a possible solution:
In [23]: pd.get_dummies(s.apply(pd.Series).stack()).sum(level=0)
Out[23]:
a b c e
0 1 1 1 0
1 0 0 1 0
2 0 1 1 1
3 1 0 1 0
4 0 1 0 1
The logic of this is:
.apply(Series) converts the series of lists to a dataframe
.stack() puts everything in one column again (creating a multi-level index)
pd.get_dummies( ) creating the dummies
.sum(level=0) for remerging the different rows that should be one row (by summing up the second level, only keeping the original level (level=0))
An slight equivalent is pd.get_dummies(s.apply(pd.Series), prefix='', prefix_sep='').sum(level=0, axis=1)
If this will be efficient enough, I don't know, but in any case, if performance is important, storing lists in a dataframe is not a very good idea.
Very fast solution in case you have a large dataframe
Using sklearn.preprocessing.MultiLabelBinarizer
import pandas as pd
from sklearn.preprocessing import MultiLabelBinarizer
df = pd.DataFrame(
{'groups':
[['a','b','c'],
['c'],
['b','c','e'],
['a','c'],
['b','e']]
}, columns=['groups'])
s = df['groups']
mlb = MultiLabelBinarizer()
pd.DataFrame(mlb.fit_transform(s),columns=mlb.classes_, index=df.index)
Result:
a b c e
0 1 1 1 0
1 0 0 1 0
2 0 1 1 1
3 1 0 1 0
4 0 1 0 1
Worked for me and also was suggested here and here
This is even faster:
pd.get_dummies(df['groups'].explode()).sum(level=0)
Using .explode() instead of .apply(pd.Series).stack()
Comparing with the other solutions:
import timeit
import pandas as pd
setup = '''
import time
import pandas as pd
s = pd.Series({0:['a','b','c'],1:['c'],2:['b','c','e'],3:['a','c'],4:['b','e']})
df = s.rename('groups').to_frame()
'''
m1 = "pd.get_dummies(s.apply(pd.Series).stack()).sum(level=0)"
m2 = "df.groups.apply(lambda x: pd.Series([1] * len(x), index=x)).fillna(0, downcast='infer')"
m3 = "pd.get_dummies(df['groups'].explode()).sum(level=0)"
times = {f"m{i+1}":min(timeit.Timer(m, setup=setup).repeat(7, 1000)) for i, m in enumerate([m1, m2, m3])}
pd.DataFrame([times],index=['ms'])
# m1 m2 m3
# ms 5.586517 3.821662 2.547167
Even though this quest was answered, I have a faster solution:
df.groups.apply(lambda x: pd.Series([1] * len(x), index=x)).fillna(0, downcast='infer')
And, in case you have empty groups or NaN, you could just:
df.loc[df.groups.str.len() > 0].apply(lambda x: pd.Series([1] * len(x), index=x)).fillna(0, downcast='infer')
How it works
Inside the lambda, x is your list, for example ['a', 'b', 'c']. So pd.Series will be as follows:
In [2]: pd.Series([1, 1, 1], index=['a', 'b', 'c'])
Out[2]:
a 1
b 1
c 1
dtype: int64
When all pd.Series comes together, they become pd.DataFrame and their index become columns; missing index became a column with NaN as you can see next:
In [4]: a = pd.Series([1, 1, 1], index=['a', 'b', 'c'])
In [5]: b = pd.Series([1, 1, 1], index=['a', 'b', 'd'])
In [6]: pd.DataFrame([a, b])
Out[6]:
a b c d
0 1.0 1.0 1.0 NaN
1 1.0 1.0 NaN 1.0
Now fillna fills those NaN with 0:
In [7]: pd.DataFrame([a, b]).fillna(0)
Out[7]:
a b c d
0 1.0 1.0 1.0 0.0
1 1.0 1.0 0.0 1.0
And downcast='infer' is to downcast from float to int:
In [11]: pd.DataFrame([a, b]).fillna(0, downcast='infer')
Out[11]:
a b c d
0 1 1 1 0
1 1 1 0 1
PS.: It's not required the use of .fillna(0, downcast='infer').
You can use explode and crosstab:
s = pd.Series([['a', 'b', 'c'], ['c'], ['b', 'c', 'e'], ['a', 'c'], ['b', 'e']])
s = s.explode()
pd.crosstab(s.index, s)
Output:
col_0 a b c e
row_0
0 1 1 1 0
1 0 0 1 0
2 0 1 1 1
3 1 0 1 0
4 0 1 0 1
You can use str.join to join all elements in list present in series into string and then use str.get_dummies:
out = df.join(df['groups'].str.join('|').str.get_dummies())
print(out)
groups a b c e
0 [a, b, c] 1 1 1 0
1 [c] 0 0 1 0

I have the following df
list_columns = ['A', 'B', 'C']
list_data = [
[1, '2', 3],
[4, '4', 5],
[1, '2', 3],
[4, '4', 6]
]
df = pd.DataFrame(columns=list_columns, data=list_data)
I want to check if multiple columns exist, and if not to create them.
Example:
If B,C,D do not exist, create them(For the above df it will create only D column)
I know how to do this with one column:
if 'D' not in df:
df['D']=0
Is there a way to test if all my columns exist, and if not create the one that are missing? And not to make an if for each column
Here loop is not necessary - use DataFrame.reindex with Index.union:
cols = ['B','C','D']
df = df.reindex(df.columns.union(cols, sort=False), axis=1, fill_value=0)
print (df)
A B C D
0 1 2 3 0
1 4 4 5 0
2 1 2 3 0
3 4 4 6 0
Just to add, you can unpack the set diff between your columns and the list with an assign and ** unpacking.
import numpy as np
cols = ['B','C','D','E']
df.assign(**{col : 0 for col in np.setdiff1d(cols,df.columns.values)})
A B C D E
0 1 2 3 0 0
1 4 4 5 0 0
2 1 2 3 0 0
3 4 4 6 0 0
I have a list of DataFrames and I would like to one-hot encode some of the columns in place. For example, if:
In[1]: df1 = pd.DataFrame(np.array([['a', 'a'], ['b', 'b'], ['c', 'c']]),
columns=['col_1', 'col_2'])
df2 = pd.DataFrame(np.array([['a', 'a'], ['b', 'b'], ['c', 'c']]),
columns=['col_1', 'col_2'])
combined = [df1, df2]
combined
Out[1]: col_1 col_2
0 a a
1 b b
2 c c
I'm currently using the following approach.
In[2]: for df in combined:
one_hot = pd.get_dummies(df["col_2"])
df[one_hot.columns] = one_hot
df.drop("col_2", axis=1, inplace=True)
df1
Out[2]: col_1 a b c
0 a 1 0 0
1 b 0 1 0
2 c 0 0 1
Am I missing a more concise solution?
Edit
An important requirement is that I need to modify the original dataframes.
OP's method is just fine
for df in combined:
one_hot = pd.get_dummies(df["col_2"])
df[one_hot.columns] = one_hot
df.drop("col_2", axis=1, inplace=True)
Reassign to all names
df1, df2 = [df.join(pd.get_dummies(df['col_2'])).drop('col_2', 1) for df in combined]
I think you can using concat with key which will add a new level of index , then get_dummies
s=pd.concat(combined,keys=range(len(combined)))['col_2'].str.get_dummies()
s['col_1']=pd.concat(combined,keys=range(len(combined)))['col_1'].values
s
Out[20]:
a b c col_1
0 0 1 0 0 a
1 0 1 0 b
2 0 0 1 c
1 0 1 0 0 a
1 0 1 0 b
2 0 0 1 c
If you would like to save them into a list for different dfs , you can groupby and save it to dict
d={x:y.reset_index(level=0,drop=True) for x , y in s.groupby(level=0)}
d
Out[16]:
{0: a b c
0 1 0 0
1 0 1 0
2 0 0 1, 1: a b c
0 1 0 0
1 0 1 0
2 0 0 1}
