我有一个pandas列,其中包含大量不到5次的字符串,我不删除这些值但是我想用一个名为“pruned”的占位符字符串替换它们。这样做的最佳方式是什么?
df= pd.DataFrame(['a','a','b','c'],columns=["x"])
# get value counts and set pruned I want something that does as follows
df[df[count<2]] = "pruned"
答案 0 :(得分:1)
我怀疑有一种更有效的方法可以做到这一点,但简单的方法是建立一个计数字典,然后修剪这些值是否低于计数阈值。考虑示例df
:
df= pd.DataFrame([12,11,4,15,6,12,4,7],columns=['foo'])
foo
0 12
1 11
2 4
3 15
4 6
5 12
6 4
7 7
# make a dict with counts
count_dict = {d:(df['foo']==d).sum() for d in df.foo.unique()}
# assign that dict to a column
df['bar'] = [count_dict[d] for d in df.foo]
# loc in the 'pruned' tag
df.loc[df.bar < 2, 'foo']='pruned'
根据需要返回:
foo bar
0 12 2
1 pruned 1
2 4 2
3 pruned 1
4 pruned 1
5 12 2
6 4 2
7 pruned 1
(当然,如果需要,您可以更改2到5并转储bar
列。
更新
根据就地版本的请求,这里是一个单行,可以在不指定其他列或直接创建该dict的情况下执行此操作(并感谢@TrigonaMinima提供values_count()
提示):
df= pd.DataFrame([12,11,4,15,6,12,4,7],columns=['foo'])
print(df)
df.foo = df.foo.apply(lambda row: 'pruned' if (df.foo.value_counts() < 2)[row] else row)
print(df)
根据需要再次返回:
foo
0 12
1 11
2 4
3 15
4 6
5 12
6 4
7 7
foo
0 12
1 pruned
2 4
3 pruned
4 pruned
5 12
6 4
7 pruned

根据上面的答案,这是我最终使用的解决方案。
import pandas as pd
df= pd.DataFrame([12,11,4,15,6,12,4,7],columns=['foo'])
# make a dict with counts
count_dict = dict(df.foo.value_counts())
# assign that dict to a column
df['temp_count'] = [count_dict[d] for d in df.foo]
# loc in the 'pruned' tag
df.loc[df.temp_count < 2, 'foo']='pruned'
df = df.drop(["temp_count"], axis=1)
