Data Wrangling in Python – How to Reindexing pandas Series And Dataframes

Reindexing pandas Series And Dataframes

Series


/* Import Modules */
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
/* Create a pandas series of the risk of fire in Southern Arizona */
brushFireRisk = pd.Series([34, 23, 12, 23], index = ['Bisbee', 'Douglas', 'Sierra Vista', 'Tombstone'])
brushFireRisk
Bisbee          34
Douglas         23
Sierra Vista    12
Tombstone       23
dtype: int64
/* Reindex the series and create a new series variable */
brushFireRiskReindexed = brushFireRisk.reindex(['Tombstone', 'Douglas', 'Bisbee', 'Sierra Vista', 'Barley', 'Tucson'])
brushFireRiskReindexed
Tombstone       23.0
Douglas         23.0
Bisbee          34.0
Sierra Vista    12.0
Barley           NaN
Tucson           NaN
dtype: float64
/*  Reindex the series and fill in any missing indexes as 0 */
brushFireRiskReindexed = brushFireRisk.reindex(['Tombstone', 'Douglas', 'Bisbee', 'Sierra Vista', 'Barley', 'Tucson'], fill_value = 0)
brushFireRiskReindexed
Tombstone       23
Douglas         23
Bisbee          34
Sierra Vista    12
Barley           0
Tucson           0
dtype: int64

DataFrames


/* Create a dataframe */
data = {'county': ['Cochice', 'Pima', 'Santa Cruz', 'Maricopa', 'Yuma'], 
        'year': [2012, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2014], 
        'reports': [4, 24, 31, 2, 3]}

df = pd.DataFrame(data)
df
county reports year
0 Cochice 4 2012
1 Pima 24 2012
2 Santa Cruz 31 2013
3 Maricopa 2 2014
4 Yuma 3 2014
/* Change the order (the index) of the rows */
df.reindex([4, 3, 2, 1, 0])
county reports year
4 Yuma 3 2014
3 Maricopa 2 2014
2 Santa Cruz 31 2013
1 Pima 24 2012
0 Cochice 4 2012
/* Change the order (the index) of the columns */
columnsTitles = ['year', 'reports', 'county']
df.reindex(columns=columnsTitles)
year reports county
0 2012 4 Cochice
1 2012 24 Pima
2 2013 31 Santa Cruz
3 2014 2 Maricopa
4 2014 3 Yuma

Python Example for Beginners

Two Machine Learning Fields

There are two sides to machine learning:

  • Practical Machine Learning:This is about querying databases, cleaning data, writing scripts to transform data and gluing algorithm and libraries together and writing custom code to squeeze reliable answers from data to satisfy difficult and ill defined questions. It’s the mess of reality.
  • Theoretical Machine Learning: This is about math and abstraction and idealized scenarios and limits and beauty and informing what is possible. It is a whole lot neater and cleaner and removed from the mess of reality.
