→ The groupby() method allows you to group your data and execute functions on these groups.
→ Any groupby operation involves one of the following operations on the original object.
- Splitting the Object
- Applying a function
- Combining the results
In many situations, we split the data into sets and we apply some functionality on each subset.
In the apply functionality, we can perform the following operations
- Aggregation − computing a summary statistic
- Transformation − perform some group-specific operation
- Filtration − discarding the data with some condition
Let us now create a DataFrame object and perform all the operations on it
#importing the pandas library
import pandas as pd
Example:
import pandas as pd
ipl_data = {'Team': ['Riders', 'Riders', 'Devils', 'Devils', 'Kings',
'kings', 'Kings', 'Kings', 'Riders', 'Royals', 'Royals', 'Riders'],
'Rank': [1, 2, 2, 3, 3,4 ,1 ,1,2 , 4,1,2],
'Year': [2014,2015,2014,2015,2014,2015,2016,2017,2016,2014,2015,2017],
'Points':[876,789,863,673,741,812,756,788,694,701,804,690]}
df = pd.DataFrame(ipl_data)
print df
Output:
Points Rank Team Year
0 876 1 Riders 2014
1 789 2 Riders 2015
2 863 2 Devils 2014
3 673 3 Devils 2015
4 741 3 Kings 2014
5 812 4 kings 2015
6 756 1 Kings 2016
7 788 1 Kings 2017
8 694 2 Riders 2016
9 701 4 Royals 2014
10 804 1 Royals 2015
11 690 2 Riders 2017
Split Data into Groups
Pandas object can be split into any of their objects.
There are multiple ways to split an object like,
obj.groupby(‘key’)
obj.groupby([‘key1’,’key2'])
obj.groupby(key,axis=1)
Let us now see how the grouping objects can be applied to the DataFrame object…
Example:
import pandas as pd
ipl_data = {'Team': ['Riders', 'Riders', 'Devils', 'Devils', 'Kings',
'kings', 'Kings', 'Kings', 'Riders', 'Royals', 'Royals', 'Riders'],
'Rank': [1, 2, 2, 3, 3,4 ,1 ,1,2 , 4,1,2],
'Year': [2014,2015,2014,2015,2014,2015,2016,2017,2016,2014,2015,2017],
'Points':[876,789,863,673,741,812,756,788,694,701,804,690]}
df = pd.DataFrame(ipl_data)
print df.groupby('Team')
Output:
<pandas.core.groupby.DataFrameGroupBy object at 0x7fa46a977e50>
View Groups
Example:
import pandas as pd
ipl_data = {'Team': ['Riders', 'Riders', 'Devils', 'Devils', 'Kings',
'kings', 'Kings', 'Kings', 'Riders', 'Royals', 'Royals', 'Riders'],
'Rank': [1, 2, 2, 3, 3,4 ,1 ,1,2 , 4,1,2],
'Year': [2014,2015,2014,2015,2014,2015,2016,2017,2016,2014,2015,2017],
'Points':[876,789,863,673,741,812,756,788,694,701,804,690]}
df = pd.DataFrame(ipl_data)
print df.groupby('Team').groups
Output:
{'Kings': Int64Index([4, 6, 7], dtype='int64'),
'Devils': Int64Index([2, 3], dtype='int64'),
'Riders': Int64Index([0, 1, 8, 11], dtype='int64'),
'Royals': Int64Index([9, 10], dtype='int64'),
'kings' : Int64Index([5], dtype='int64')}
Group by with multiple columns
Example:
import pandas as pd
ipl_data = {'Team': ['Riders', 'Riders', 'Devils', 'Devils', 'Kings',
'kings', 'Kings', 'Kings', 'Riders', 'Royals', 'Royals', 'Riders'],
'Rank': [1, 2, 2, 3, 3,4 ,1 ,1,2 , 4,1,2],
'Year': [2014,2015,2014,2015,2014,2015,2016,2017,2016,2014,2015,2017],
'Points':[876,789,863,673,741,812,756,788,694,701,804,690]}
df = pd.DataFrame(ipl_data)
print df.groupby(['Team','Year']).groups
Output:
{('Kings', 2014): Int64Index([4], dtype='int64'),
('Royals', 2014): Int64Index([9], dtype='int64'),
('Riders', 2014): Int64Index([0], dtype='int64'),
('Riders', 2015): Int64Index([1], dtype='int64'),
('Kings', 2016): Int64Index([6], dtype='int64'),
('Riders', 2016): Int64Index([8], dtype='int64'),
('Riders', 2017): Int64Index([11], dtype='int64'),
('Devils', 2014): Int64Index([2], dtype='int64'),
('Devils', 2015): Int64Index([3], dtype='int64'),
('kings', 2015): Int64Index([5], dtype='int64'),
('Royals', 2015): Int64Index([10], dtype='int64'),
('Kings', 2017): Int64Index([7], dtype='int64')}
Iterating through Groups
→ With the groupby object in hand, we can iterate through the object similar to itertools.obj.
Example:
import pandas as pd
ipl_data = {'Team': ['Riders', 'Riders', 'Devils', 'Devils', 'Kings',
'kings', 'Kings', 'Kings', 'Riders', 'Royals', 'Royals', 'Riders'],
'Rank': [1, 2, 2, 3, 3,4 ,1 ,1,2 , 4,1,2],
'Year': [2014,2015,2014,2015,2014,2015,2016,2017,2016,2014,2015,2017],
'Points':[876,789,863,673,741,812,756,788,694,701,804,690]}
df = pd.DataFrame(ipl_data)
grouped = df.groupby('Year')
for name,group in grouped:
print name
print group
Output:
2014
Points Rank Team Year
0 876 1 Riders 2014
2 863 2 Devils 2014
4 741 3 Kings 2014
9 701 4 Royals 2014
2015
Points Rank Team Year
1 789 2 Riders 2015
3 673 3 Devils 2015
5 812 4 kings 2015
10 804 1 Royals 2015
2016
Points Rank Team Year
6 756 1 Kings 2016
8 694 2 Riders 2016
2017
Points Rank Team Year
7 788 1 Kings 2017
11 690 2 Riders 2017
By default, the groupby object has the same label name as the group name.
Select a Group
Using the get_group() method, we can select a single group.
Example:
import pandas as pd
ipl_data = {'Team': ['Riders', 'Riders', 'Devils', 'Devils', 'Kings',
'kings', 'Kings', 'Kings', 'Riders', 'Royals', 'Royals', 'Riders'],
'Rank': [1, 2, 2, 3, 3,4 ,1 ,1,2 , 4,1,2],
'Year': [2014,2015,2014,2015,2014,2015,2016,2017,2016,2014,2015,2017],
'Points':[876,789,863,673,741,812,756,788,694,701,804,690]}
df = pd.DataFrame(ipl_data)
grouped = df.groupby('Year')
print grouped.get_group(2014)
Output:
Points Rank Team Year
0 876 1 Riders 2014
2 863 2 Devils 2014
4 741 3 Kings 2014
9 701 4 Royals 2014
Aggregations
An aggregated function returns a single aggregated value for each group. Once the group by object is created, several aggregation operations can be performed on the grouped data.
→ An obvious one is aggregation via the aggregate or equivalent agg method.
Example:
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
ipl_data = {'Team': ['Riders', 'Riders', 'Devils', 'Devils', 'Kings',
'kings', 'Kings', 'Kings', 'Riders', 'Royals', 'Royals', 'Riders'],
'Rank': [1, 2, 2, 3, 3,4 ,1 ,1,2 , 4,1,2],
'Year': [2014,2015,2014,2015,2014,2015,2016,2017,2016,2014,2015,2017],
'Points':[876,789,863,673,741,812,756,788,694,701,804,690]}
df = pd.DataFrame(ipl_data)
grouped = df.groupby('Year')
print grouped['Points'].agg(np.mean)
Output:
Year
2014 795.25
2015 769.50
2016 725.00
2017 739.00
Name: Points, dtype: float64
Applying Multiple Aggregation Functions at Once
With grouped Series, you can also pass a list or dict of functions to do aggregation with, and generate DataFrame as output.
Example:
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
ipl_data = {'Team': ['Riders', 'Riders', 'Devils', 'Devils', 'Kings',
'kings', 'Kings', 'Kings', 'Riders', 'Royals', 'Royals', 'Riders'],
'Rank': [1, 2, 2, 3, 3,4 ,1 ,1,2 , 4,1,2],
'Year': [2014,2015,2014,2015,2014,2015,2016,2017,2016,2014,2015,2017],
'Points':[876,789,863,673,741,812,756,788,694,701,804,690]}
df = pd.DataFrame(ipl_data)
grouped = df.groupby('Team')
print grouped['Points'].agg([np.sum, np.mean, np.std])
Output:
Team sum mean std
Devils 1536 768.000000 134.350288
Kings 2285 761.666667 24.006943
Riders 3049 762.250000 88.567771
Royals 1505 752.500000 72.831998
kings 812 812.000000 NaN
Transformations
Transformation on a group or a column returns an object that is indexed the same size of that is being grouped.
→ Thus, the transform should return a result that is the same size as that of a group chunk.
Example:
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
ipl_data = {'Team': ['Riders', 'Riders', 'Devils', 'Devils', 'Kings',
'kings', 'Kings', 'Kings', 'Riders', 'Royals', 'Royals', 'Riders'],
'Rank': [1, 2, 2, 3, 3,4 ,1 ,1,2 , 4,1,2],
'Year': [2014,2015,2014,2015,2014,2015,2016,2017,2016,2014,2015,2017],
'Points':[876,789,863,673,741,812,756,788,694,701,804,690]}
df = pd.DataFrame(ipl_data)
grouped = df.groupby('Team')
score = lambda x: (x - x.mean()) / x.std()*10
print grouped.transform(score)
Output:
Points Rank Year
0 12.843272 -15.000000 -11.618950
1 3.020286 5.000000 -3.872983
2 7.071068 -7.071068 -7.071068
3 -7.071068 7.071068 7.071068
4 -8.608621 11.547005 -10.910895
5 NaN NaN NaN
6 -2.360428 -5.773503 2.182179
7 10.969049 -5.773503 8.728716
8 -7.705963 5.000000 3.872983
9 -7.071068 7.071068 -7.071068
10 7.071068 -7.071068 7.071068
11 -8.157595 5.000000 11.618950
Filtration
Filtration filters the data on a defined criteria and returns the subset of data. The filter() function is used to filter the data.
Example:
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
ipl_data = {'Team': ['Riders', 'Riders', 'Devils', 'Devils', 'Kings',
'kings', 'Kings', 'Kings', 'Riders', 'Royals', 'Royals', 'Riders'],
'Rank': [1, 2, 2, 3, 3,4 ,1 ,1,2 , 4,1,2],
'Year': [2014,2015,2014,2015,2014,2015,2016,2017,2016,2014,2015,2017],
'Points':[876,789,863,673,741,812,756,788,694,701,804,690]}
df = pd.DataFrame(ipl_data)
print df.groupby('Team').filter(lambda x: len(x) >= 3)
Output:
ts Rank Team Year
0 876 1 Riders 2014
1 789 2 Riders 2015
4 741 3 Kings 2014
6 756 1 Kings 2016
7 788 1 Kings 2017
8 694 2 Riders 2016
11 690 2 Riders 2017
-→ In the above filter condition, we are asking to return the teams which have participated three or more times in IPL.
I hope you got some idea about Groupby Function in pandas.
Catch you in next wonderful blog.
Thanks! Bye.
