BUG: rolling aggregations not checking monotonic index when grouping by (original) (raw)


Note: Please read this guide detailing how to provide the necessary information for us to reproduce your bug.

Code Sample, a copy-pastable example

import pandas as pd import numpy as np

df = pd.DataFrame({'a':['2020-06-01 12:00', '2020-06-01 12:30', '2020-06-01 13:00', '2020-06-01 14:00', np.nan], 'b':[1,2,3,4,5], 'c':[1,1,1,1,1]}) df.a = pd.to_datetime(df.a) df.set_index('a',inplace=True) df.groupby('c').b.rolling('60min').sum()

'''

Note that if there's no group by, ie: df.b.rolling('60min').sum() index monotonicity is checked and an error is reported due to the NaT. ''''

Problem description

When using a rolling window on a timestamp index + a group by, there is no validation about the monotonicity of the index. This can lead to unexpected behaviours, as the value of the calculation can change if the index is not monotonic.

Expected Output

Output:
c a
1 2020-06-01 12:00:00 1.0
2020-06-01 12:30:00 3.0
2020-06-01 13:00:00 6.0
2020-06-01 14:00:00 10.0
NaT 15.0

Expected (correct) output:

c a
1 2020-06-01 12:00:00 1.0
2020-06-01 12:30:00 3.0
2020-06-01 13:00:00 5.0
2020-06-01 14:00:00 4.0
