Pandas Example – Write a Pandas program to convert year and day of year into a single datetime column of a dataframe

(Python Example for Beginners)

 

Write a Pandas program to convert year and day of year into a single datetime column of a dataframe.

 

Sample Solution:

Python Code :


import pandas as pd

data = {
"year": [2002, 2003, 2015, 2018],
"day_of_the_year": [250, 365, 1, 140]
}

df = pd.DataFrame(data)
print("Original DataFrame:")
print(df)

df["combined"] = df["year"]*1000 + df["day_of_the_year"]
df["date"] = pd.to_datetime(df["combined"], format = "%Y%j")
print("nNew DataFrame:")
print(df)

Sample Output:

Original DataFrame:
   year  day_of_the_year
0  2002              250
1  2003              365
2  2015                1
3  2018              140

New DataFrame:
   year  day_of_the_year  combined       date
0  2002              250   2002250 2002-09-07
1  2003              365   2003365 2003-12-31
2  2015                1   2015001 2015-01-01
3  2018              140   2018140 2018-05-20

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.
