Python - Data Aggregation


Advertisements

Python has several methods are available to perform aggregations on data. It is done using the pandas and numpy libraries. The data must be available or converted to a dataframe to apply the aggregation functions.

Applying Aggregations on DataFrame

Let us create a DataFrame and apply aggregations on it.

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(10, 4),
      index = pd.date_range('1/1/2000', periods=10),
      columns = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D'])

print df

r = df.rolling(window=3,min_periods=1)
print r

Its output is as follows −

                    A           B           C           D
2000-01-01   1.088512   -0.650942   -2.547450   -0.566858
2000-01-02   0.790670   -0.387854   -0.668132    0.267283
2000-01-03  -0.575523   -0.965025    0.060427   -2.179780
2000-01-04   1.669653    1.211759   -0.254695    1.429166
2000-01-05   0.100568   -0.236184    0.491646   -0.466081
2000-01-06   0.155172    0.992975   -1.205134    0.320958
2000-01-07   0.309468   -0.724053   -1.412446    0.627919
2000-01-08   0.099489   -1.028040    0.163206   -1.274331
2000-01-09   1.639500   -0.068443    0.714008   -0.565969
2000-01-10   0.326761    1.479841    0.664282   -1.361169

Rolling [window=3,min_periods=1,center=False,axis=0]                

We can aggregate by passing a function to the entire DataFrame, or select a column via the standard get item method.

Apply Aggregation on a Whole Dataframe

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(10, 4),
      index = pd.date_range('1/1/2000', periods=10),
      columns = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D'])
print df

r = df.rolling(window=3,min_periods=1)
print r.aggregate(np.sum)

Its output is as follows −

                    A           B           C           D
2000-01-01   1.088512   -0.650942   -2.547450   -0.566858
