使用pandas series.sample()返回索引?

我有一个熊猫系列,其中值在几个不同的用户之间变化。我想要做的是从每个用户获取一个随机样本,并返回随机样本的索引值。

该系列看起来像这样(每个用户出现在多行):

index    
row1    user1
row2    user2
row3    user2
row4    user1
row5    user2
row6    user1
row7    user3
...

我写的函数看起来像这样:

def get_random_sample(series, sample_size, users):
""" Grab a random sample of size sample_size of the tickets resolved by each user in the list users.
    Series has the ticket number as index, and the username as the series values.
    Returns a dict {user:[sample_tickets]}
"""
    sample_dict = {}
    for user in users: 
        sample_dict[user] = series[series==user].sample(n=sample_size, replace=False) 

    return sample_dict

返回的内容如下:

# assuming sample_size is 4
{user1: [user1, user1, user1, user1],
 user2: [user2, user2, user2, user2],
...}

但我想要的输出是:

{user1: [row1, row6, row32, row40],
 user2: [row3, row5, row17, row39],
...}
# where row# is the index label for the corresponding row.

基本上我想让pandas series.sample()返回随机样本项的索引而不是项值。不确定这是否可行,或者我是否最好首先重构数据(可能将用户作为数据框中的系列名称,并且索引成为该系列下的值?不知道如何做到这一点)。 任何见解都表示赞赏。

答案 0 :(得分:2)

让我们尝试在样本后使用.index来返回这些样本的索引:

sample_dict[user] = series[series==user].sample(n=sample_size, replace=False).index

@user48956 commented一样,使用numpy.random.choice在索引上进行采样要快得多

np.random.seed(42)
df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randint(0,100,size=(10000000, 4)), columns=list('ABCD'))
%time df.sample(100000).index
print(_)
%time pd.Index(np.random.choice(df.index, 100000))
