I am trying to filter a DataFrame to only show values 1-hour before and 1-hour after a specified time/date, but am having trouble finding the right function for this. I am working in Python with Pandas.
The posts I see regarding masking by date mostly cover the case of masking rows between a specified start and end date, but I am having trouble finding help on how to mask rows based around a single date.
I have time series data as a DataFrame that spans about a year, so thousands of rows. This data is at 1-minute intervals, and so each row corresponds to a row ID, a timestamp, and a value.
Example of DataFrame:
ID timestamp value
0 2011-01-15 03:25:00 34
1 2011-01-15 03:26:00 36
2 2011-01-15 03:27:00 37
3 2011-01-15 03:28:00 37
4 2011-01-15 03:29:00 39
5 2011-01-15 03:30:00 29
6 2011-01-15 03:31:00 28
...
I am trying to create a function that outputs a DataFrame that is the initial DataFrame, but only rows for 1-hour before and 1-hour after a specified timestamp, and so only rows within this specified 2-hour window.
To be more clear:
I have a DataFrame that has 1-minute interval data throughout a year (as exemplified above).
I now identify a specific timestamp: 2011-07-14 06:15:00
I now want to output a DataFrame that is the initial input DataFrame, but now only contains rows that are within 1-hour before 2011-07-14 06:15:00, and 1-hour after 2011-07-14 06:15:00.
Do you know how I can do this? I understand that I could just create a filter where I get rid of all values before 2011-07-14 05:15:00 and 2011-07-14 07:15:00, but my goal is to have the user simply enter a single date/time (e.g. 2011-07-14 06:15:00) to produce the output DataFrame.
This is what I have tried so far:
hour = pd.DateOffset(hours=1)
date = pd.Timestamp("2011-07-14 06:15:00")
df = df.set_index("timestamp")
df([date - hour: date + hour])
which returns:
File "<ipython-input-49-d42254baba8f>", line 4
df([date - hour: date + hour])
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
I am not sure if this is really only a syntax error, or something deeper and more complex. How can I fix this?
Thanks!
You can do with:
import pandas as pd
import datetime as dt
data = {"date": ["2011-01-15 03:10:00","2011-01-15 03:40:00","2011-01-15 04:10:00","2011-01-15 04:40:00","2011-01-15 05:10:00","2011-01-15 07:10:00"],
"value":[1,2,3,4,5,6]}
df=pd.DataFrame(data)
df['date']=pd.to_datetime(df['date'], format='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S', errors='ignore')
date_search= dt.datetime.strptime("2011-01-15 05:20:00",'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
mask = (df['date'] > date_search-dt.timedelta(hours = 1)) & (df['date'] <= date_search+dt.timedelta(hours = 1))
print(df.loc[mask])
result:
date value
3 2011-01-15 04:40:00 4
4 2011-01-15 05:10:00 5
I have a Dataframe, df, with the following column:
df['ArrivalDate'] =
...
936 2012-12-31
938 2012-12-29
965 2012-12-31
966 2012-12-31
967 2012-12-31
968 2012-12-31
969 2012-12-31
970 2012-12-29
971 2012-12-31
972 2012-12-29
973 2012-12-29
...
The elements of the column are pandas.tslib.Timestamp.
I want to just include the year and month. I thought there would be simple way to do it, but I can't figure it out.
Here's what I've tried:
df['ArrivalDate'].resample('M', how = 'mean')
I got the following error:
Only valid with DatetimeIndex or PeriodIndex
Then I tried:
df['ArrivalDate'].apply(lambda(x):x[:-2])
I got the following error:
'Timestamp' object has no attribute '__getitem__'
Any suggestions?
Edit: I sort of figured it out.
df.index = df['ArrivalDate']
Then, I can resample another column using the index.
But I'd still like a method for reconfiguring the entire column. Any ideas?
If you want new columns showing year and month separately you can do this:
df['year'] = pd.DatetimeIndex(df['ArrivalDate']).year
df['month'] = pd.DatetimeIndex(df['ArrivalDate']).month
or...
df['year'] = df['ArrivalDate'].dt.year
df['month'] = df['ArrivalDate'].dt.month
Then you can combine them or work with them just as they are.
The df['date_column'] has to be in date time format.
df['month_year'] = df['date_column'].dt.to_period('M')
You could also use D for Day, 2M for 2 Months etc. for different sampling intervals, and in case one has time series data with time stamp, we can go for granular sampling intervals such as 45Min for 45 min, 15Min for 15 min sampling etc.
You can directly access the year and month attributes, or request a datetime.datetime:
In [15]: t = pandas.tslib.Timestamp.now()
In [16]: t
Out[16]: Timestamp('2014-08-05 14:49:39.643701', tz=None)
In [17]: t.to_pydatetime() #datetime method is deprecated
Out[17]: datetime.datetime(2014, 8, 5, 14, 49, 39, 643701)
In [18]: t.day
Out[18]: 5
In [19]: t.month
Out[19]: 8
In [20]: t.year
Out[20]: 2014
One way to combine year and month is to make an integer encoding them, such as: 201408 for August, 2014. Along a whole column, you could do this as:
df['YearMonth'] = df['ArrivalDate'].map(lambda x: 100*x.year + x.month)
or many variants thereof.
I'm not a big fan of doing this, though, since it makes date alignment and arithmetic painful later and especially painful for others who come upon your code or data without this same convention. A better way is to choose a day-of-month convention, such as final non-US-holiday weekday, or first day, etc., and leave the data in a date/time format with the chosen date convention.
The calendar module is useful for obtaining the number value of certain days such as the final weekday. Then you could do something like:
import calendar
import datetime
df['AdjustedDateToEndOfMonth'] = df['ArrivalDate'].map(
lambda x: datetime.datetime(
x.year,
x.month,
max(calendar.monthcalendar(x.year, x.month)[-1][:5])
)
)
If you happen to be looking for a way to solve the simpler problem of just formatting the datetime column into some stringified representation, for that you can just make use of the strftime function from the datetime.datetime class, like this:
In [5]: df
Out[5]:
date_time
0 2014-10-17 22:00:03
In [6]: df.date_time
Out[6]:
0 2014-10-17 22:00:03
Name: date_time, dtype: datetime64[ns]
In [7]: df.date_time.map(lambda x: x.strftime('%Y-%m-%d'))
Out[7]:
0 2014-10-17
Name: date_time, dtype: object
If you want the month year unique pair, using apply is pretty sleek.
df['mnth_yr'] = df['date_column'].apply(lambda x: x.strftime('%B-%Y'))
Outputs month-year in one column.
Don't forget to first change the format to date-time before, I generally forget.
df['date_column'] = pd.to_datetime(df['date_column'])
SINGLE LINE: Adding a column with 'year-month'-paires:
('pd.to_datetime' first changes the column dtype to date-time before the operation)
df['yyyy-mm'] = pd.to_datetime(df['ArrivalDate']).dt.strftime('%Y-%m')
Accordingly for an extra 'year' or 'month' column:
df['yyyy'] = pd.to_datetime(df['ArrivalDate']).dt.strftime('%Y')
df['mm'] = pd.to_datetime(df['ArrivalDate']).dt.strftime('%m')
Extracting the Year say from ['2018-03-04']
df['Year'] = pd.DatetimeIndex(df['date']).year
The df['Year'] creates a new column. While if you want to extract the month just use .month
You can first convert your date strings with pandas.to_datetime, which gives you access to all of the numpy datetime and timedelta facilities. For example:
df['ArrivalDate'] = pandas.to_datetime(df['ArrivalDate'])
df['Month'] = df['ArrivalDate'].values.astype('datetime64[M]')
#KieranPC's solution is the correct approach for Pandas, but is not easily extendible for arbitrary attributes. For this, you can use getattr within a generator comprehension and combine using pd.concat:
# input data
list_of_dates = ['2012-12-31', '2012-12-29', '2012-12-30']
df = pd.DataFrame({'ArrivalDate': pd.to_datetime(list_of_dates)})
# define list of attributes required
L = ['year', 'month', 'day', 'dayofweek', 'dayofyear', 'weekofyear', 'quarter']
# define generator expression of series, one for each attribute
date_gen = (getattr(df['ArrivalDate'].dt, i).rename(i) for i in L)
# concatenate results and join to original dataframe
df = df.join(pd.concat(date_gen, axis=1))
print(df)
ArrivalDate year month day dayofweek dayofyear weekofyear quarter
0 2012-12-31 2012 12 31 0 366 1 4
1 2012-12-29 2012 12 29 5 364 52 4
2 2012-12-30 2012 12 30 6 365 52 4
Thanks to jaknap32, I wanted to aggregate the results according to Year and Month, so this worked:
df_join['YearMonth'] = df_join['timestamp'].apply(lambda x:x.strftime('%Y%m'))
Output was neat:
0 201108
1 201108
2 201108
There is two steps to extract year for all the dataframe without using method apply.
Step1
convert the column to datetime :
df['ArrivalDate']=pd.to_datetime(df['ArrivalDate'], format='%Y-%m-%d')
Step2
extract the year or the month using DatetimeIndex() method
pd.DatetimeIndex(df['ArrivalDate']).year
df['Month_Year'] = df['Date'].dt.to_period('M')
Result :
Date Month_Year
0 2020-01-01 2020-01
1 2020-01-02 2020-01
2 2020-01-03 2020-01
3 2020-01-04 2020-01
4 2020-01-05 2020-01
df['year_month']=df.datetime_column.apply(lambda x: str(x)[:7])
This worked fine for me, didn't think pandas would interpret the resultant string date as date, but when i did the plot, it knew very well my agenda and the string year_month where ordered properly... gotta love pandas!
Then I tried:
df['ArrivalDate'].apply(lambda(x):x[:-2])
I think here the proper input should be string.
df['ArrivalDate'].astype(str).apply(lambda(x):x[:-2])
I have a Dataframe, df, with the following column:
df['ArrivalDate'] =
...
936 2012-12-31
938 2012-12-29
965 2012-12-31

times are in unix format. I want to extract the hours from such times and groupby the file with respect to such values.
I tried
times = pd.to_datetime(df.time, unit='s')
or even
times = pd.DataFrame(pd.to_datetime(df.time, unit='s'))
but in both cases I got an error with
times.hour
>>>AttributeError: 'DataFrame' object has no attribute 'hour'
You're getting that error because Series and DataFrames don't have hour attributes. You can access the information you want using the .dt convenience accessor (docs here):
>>> times = pd.to_datetime(df.time, unit='s')
>>> times

You can use the builtin datetime class to do this.
import datetime
# your code here
hours = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(df.time).hour
Objective:
To create an Index that accommodates a pre-existing set of price data from a csv file. I can build an index using list comprehensions. If it's done in that way, the construction would give me a filtered list of length 86,772--when run over 1/3/2007-8/30/2012 for 42 times (i.e. 10 minute intervals). However, my data of prices coming from the csv is length: 62,034. Observe that the difference in length is due to data cleaning issues.
That said, I am not sure how to overcome the apparent mismatch between the real data and this pre-built (list comp) dataframe.
Attempt:
Am I using the first two lines incorrectly?
data=pd.read_csv('___.csv', parse_dates={'datetime':[0,1]}).set_index('datetime')
dt_index = pd.DatetimeIndex([datetime.combine(i.date,i.time) for i in data.index])
ts = pd.Series(data.prices.values, dt_index)
Questions:
As I understand it, I should use 'combine' since I want the index construction to be completely informed by my csv file. And, 'combine' returns a new datetime object whose date components are equal to the given date object’s, and whose time components are equal to the given time object’s.
When I parse_dates, is it lumping the time and date together and considering it to be a 'date'?
Is there a better way to achieve the stated objective?
Traceback Error:
AttributeError: 'unicode' object has no attribute 'date'
You can write this neatly as follows:
ts = df1.prices
Here's an example:
In [1]: df = pd.read_csv('prices.csv',
parse_dates={'datetime': [0,1]}).set_index('datetime')
In [2]: df # dataframe
Out[2]:
prices duty
datetime
2012-11-12 10:00:00 1 0
2012-12-12 10:00:00 2 0
2012-12-12 10:00:00 3 1
In [3]: df.prices # timeseries
Out[3]:
datetime
2012-11-12 10:00:00 1
2012-12-12 10:00:00 2
2012-12-12 11:00:00 3
Name: prices
In [4]: ts = df.prices
You can groupby date like so (similar to this example from the docs):
In [5]: key = lambda x: x.date()
In [6]: df.groupby(key).sum()
Out[6]:
prices duty
2012-11-12 1 0
2012-12-12 5 1
In [7]: ts.groupby(key).sum()
Out[7]:
2012-11-12 1
2012-12-12 5
Where prices.csv contains:
date,time,prices,duty
11/12/2012,10:00,1,0
12/12/2012,10:00,2,0
12/12/2012,11:00,3,1
