Pandas Example – Write a Pandas program to split a given dataframe into groups and create a new column with count from GroupBy

(Python Example for Beginners)

 

Write a Pandas program to split a given dataframe into groups and create a new column with count from GroupBy.

 

Test Data:

  book_name book_type  book_id
0     Book1      Math        1
1     Book2   Physics        2
2     Book3  Computer        3
3     Book4   Science        4
4     Book1      Math        1
5     Book2   Physics        2
6     Book3  Computer        3
7     Book5   English        5

 

Sample Solution:

Python Code :


import pandas as pd

pd.set_option('display.max_rows', None)

df = pd.DataFrame({
'book_name':['Book1','Book2','Book3','Book4','Book1','Book2','Book3','Book5'],
'book_type':['Math','Physics','Computer','Science','Math','Physics','Computer','English'],
'book_id':[1,2,3,4,1,2,3,5]})

print("Original Orders DataFrame:")
print(df)

print("nNew column with count from groupby:")

result = df.groupby(["book_name", "book_type"])["book_type"].count().reset_index(name="count")
print(result)

Sample Output:

Original Orders DataFrame:
  book_name book_type  book_id
0     Book1      Math        1
1     Book2   Physics        2
2     Book3  Computer        3
3     Book4   Science        4
4     Book1      Math        1
5     Book2   Physics        2
6     Book3  Computer        3
7     Book5   English        5

New column with count from groupby:
  book_name book_type  count
0     Book1      Math      2
1     Book2   Physics      2
2     Book3  Computer      2
3     Book4   Science      1
4     Book5   English      1

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.
