pandas.Grouper — pandas 2.2.3 documentation (original) (raw)

class pandas.Grouper(*args, **kwargs)[source]#

A Grouper allows the user to specify a groupby instruction for an object.

This specification will select a column via the key parameter, or if the level and/or axis parameters are given, a level of the index of the target object.

If axis and/or level are passed as keywords to both Grouper andgroupby, the values passed to Grouper take precedence.

Parameters:

keystr, defaults to None

Groupby key, which selects the grouping column of the target.

levelname/number, defaults to None

The level for the target index.

freqstr / frequency object, defaults to None

This will groupby the specified frequency if the target selection (via key or level) is a datetime-like object. For full specification of available frequencies, please see here.

axisstr, int, defaults to 0

Number/name of the axis.

sortbool, default to False

Whether to sort the resulting labels.

closed{‘left’ or ‘right’}

Closed end of interval. Only when freq parameter is passed.

label{‘left’ or ‘right’}

Interval boundary to use for labeling. Only when freq parameter is passed.

convention{‘start’, ‘end’, ‘e’, ‘s’}

If grouper is PeriodIndex and freq parameter is passed.

originTimestamp or str, default ‘start_day’

The timestamp on which to adjust the grouping. The timezone of origin must match the timezone of the index. If string, must be one of the following:

• ‘epoch’: origin is 1970-01-01
• ‘start’: origin is the first value of the timeseries
• ‘start_day’: origin is the first day at midnight of the timeseries
• ‘end’: origin is the last value of the timeseries
• ‘end_day’: origin is the ceiling midnight of the last day

Added in version 1.3.0.

offsetTimedelta or str, default is None

An offset timedelta added to the origin.

dropnabool, default True

If True, and if group keys contain NA values, NA values together with row/column will be dropped. If False, NA values will also be treated as the key in groups.

Returns:

Grouper or pandas.api.typing.TimeGrouper

A TimeGrouper is returned if freq is not None. Otherwise, a Grouper is returned.

Examples

df.groupby(pd.Grouper(key="Animal")) is equivalent to df.groupby('Animal')

df = pd.DataFrame( ... { ... "Animal": ["Falcon", "Parrot", "Falcon", "Falcon", "Parrot"], ... "Speed": [100, 5, 200, 300, 15], ... } ... ) df Animal Speed 0 Falcon 100 1 Parrot 5 2 Falcon 200 3 Falcon 300 4 Parrot 15 df.groupby(pd.Grouper(key="Animal")).mean() Speed Animal Falcon 200.0 Parrot 10.0

Specify a resample operation on the column ‘Publish date’

df = pd.DataFrame( ... { ... "Publish date": [ ... pd.Timestamp("2000-01-02"), ... pd.Timestamp("2000-01-02"), ... pd.Timestamp("2000-01-09"), ... pd.Timestamp("2000-01-16") ... ], ... "ID": [0, 1, 2, 3], ... "Price": [10, 20, 30, 40] ... } ... ) df Publish date ID Price 0 2000-01-02 0 10 1 2000-01-02 1 20 2 2000-01-09 2 30 3 2000-01-16 3 40 df.groupby(pd.Grouper(key="Publish date", freq="1W")).mean() ID Price Publish date 2000-01-02 0.5 15.0 2000-01-09 2.0 30.0 2000-01-16 3.0 40.0

If you want to adjust the start of the bins based on a fixed timestamp:

start, end = '2000-10-01 23:30:00', '2000-10-02 00:30:00' rng = pd.date_range(start, end, freq='7min') ts = pd.Series(np.arange(len(rng)) * 3, index=rng) ts 2000-10-01 23:30:00 0 2000-10-01 23:37:00 3 2000-10-01 23:44:00 6 2000-10-01 23:51:00 9 2000-10-01 23:58:00 12 2000-10-02 00:05:00 15 2000-10-02 00:12:00 18 2000-10-02 00:19:00 21 2000-10-02 00:26:00 24 Freq: 7min, dtype: int64

ts.groupby(pd.Grouper(freq='17min')).sum() 2000-10-01 23:14:00 0 2000-10-01 23:31:00 9 2000-10-01 23:48:00 21 2000-10-02 00:05:00 54 2000-10-02 00:22:00 24 Freq: 17min, dtype: int64

ts.groupby(pd.Grouper(freq='17min', origin='epoch')).sum() 2000-10-01 23🔞00 0 2000-10-01 23:35:00 18 2000-10-01 23:52:00 27 2000-10-02 00:09:00 39 2000-10-02 00:26:00 24 Freq: 17min, dtype: int64

ts.groupby(pd.Grouper(freq='17min', origin='2000-01-01')).sum() 2000-10-01 23:24:00 3 2000-10-01 23:41:00 15 2000-10-01 23:58:00 45 2000-10-02 00:15:00 45 Freq: 17min, dtype: int64

If you want to adjust the start of the bins with an offset Timedelta, the two following lines are equivalent:

ts.groupby(pd.Grouper(freq='17min', origin='start')).sum() 2000-10-01 23:30:00 9 2000-10-01 23:47:00 21 2000-10-02 00:04:00 54 2000-10-02 00:21:00 24 Freq: 17min, dtype: int64

ts.groupby(pd.Grouper(freq='17min', offset='23h30min')).sum() 2000-10-01 23:30:00 9 2000-10-01 23:47:00 21 2000-10-02 00:04:00 54 2000-10-02 00:21:00 24 Freq: 17min, dtype: int64

To replace the use of the deprecated base argument, you can now use offset, in this example it is equivalent to have base=2:

ts.groupby(pd.Grouper(freq='17min', offset='2min')).sum() 2000-10-01 23:16:00 0 2000-10-01 23:33:00 9 2000-10-01 23:50:00 36 2000-10-02 00:07:00 39 2000-10-02 00:24:00 24 Freq: 17min, dtype: int64
