Pandas GroupBy operation example
Any groupby operation will perform the following operations on the original object:
Split objects Apply function Merge results
In many cases, we divide the data into several groups and then apply some functions to each subset. In the Apply function, we can perform the following operations-
Aggregation − Calculate summary statistics Transformation − Grouping operations Filter − Filter data under certain conditions
Now we create a DataFrame object and perform all operations on it.
#import the pandas library import pandas as pd ipl_data = {'Team': ['Riders', 'Riders', 'Devils', 'Devils', 'Kings', 'kings', 'Kings', 'Kings', 'Riders', 'Royals', 'Royals', 'Riders'], 'Rank': [1, 2, 2, 3, 3,4 ,1 ,1,2 , 4,1,2], 'Year': [2014,2015,2014,2015,2014,2015,2016,2017,2016,2014,2015,2017], 'Points':[876,789,863,673,741,812,756,788,694,701,804,690]} df = pd.DataFrame(ipl_data) print(df)
The running results are as follows:
Points Rank Team Year 0 876 1 Riders 2014 1 789 2 Riders 2015 2 863 2 Devils 2014 3 673 3 Devils 2015 4 741 3 Kings 2014 5 812 4 kings 2015 6 756 1 Kings 2016 7 788 1 Kings 2017 8 694 2 Riders 2016 9 701 4 Royals 2014 10 804 1 Royals 2015 11 690 2 Riders 2017
Objects can be split into any object. There are many ways to split objects, such as:
obj.groupby('key') obj.groupby(['key1','key2']) obj.groupby(key,axis=1)
Now let's see how to apply the groupby object to the DataFrame object
# import the pandas library import pandas as pd ipl_data = {'Team': ['Riders', 'Riders', 'Devils', 'Devils', 'Kings', 'kings', 'Kings', 'Kings', 'Riders', 'Royals', 'Royals', 'Riders'], 'Rank': [1, 2, 2, 3, 3,4 ,1 ,1,2 , 4,1,2], 'Year': [2014,2015,2014,2015,2014,2015,2016,2017,2016,2014,2015,2017], 'Points':[876,789,863,673,741,812,756,788,694,701,804,690]} df = pd.DataFrame(ipl_data) print(df.groupby('Team'))
The running results are as follows:
# import the pandas library import pandas as pd ipl_data = {'Team': ['Riders', 'Riders', 'Devils', 'Devils', 'Kings', 'kings', 'Kings', 'Kings', 'Riders', 'Royals', 'Royals', 'Riders'], 'Rank': [1, 2, 2, 3, 3,4 ,1 ,1,2 , 4,1,2], 'Year': [2014,2015,2014,2015,2014,2015,2016,2017,2016,2014,2015,2017], 'Points':[876,789,863,673,741,812,756,788,694,701,804,690]} df = pd.DataFrame(ipl_data) print(df.groupby('Team').groups)
The running results are as follows:
{'Kings': Int64Index([4, 6, 7], dtype='int64'), 'Devils': Int64Index([2, 3], dtype='int64'), 'Riders': Int64Index([0, 1, 8, 11], dtype='int64'), 'Royals': Int64Index([9, 10], dtype='int64'), 'kings' : Int64Index([5], dtype='int64})
Group by multiple columns
# import the pandas library import pandas as pd ipl_data = {'Team': ['Riders', 'Riders', 'Devils', 'Devils', 'Kings', 'kings', 'Kings', 'Kings', 'Riders', 'Royals', 'Royals', 'Riders'], 'Rank': [1, 2, 2, 3, 3,4 ,1 ,1,2 , 4,1,2], 'Year': [2014,2015,2014,2015,2014,2015,2016,2017,2016,2014,2015,2017], 'Points':[876,789,863,673,741,812,756,788,694,701,804,690]} df = pd.DataFrame(ipl_data) print(df.groupby(['Team','Year']).groups)
The running results are as follows:
{('Kings', 2014): Int64Index([4], dtype='int64'), ('Royals', 2014): Int64Index([9], dtype='int64'), ('Riders', 2014): Int64Index([0], dtype='int64'), ('Riders', 2015): Int64Index([1], dtype='int64'), ('Kings', 2016): Int64Index([6], dtype='int64'), ('Riders', 2016): Int64Index([8], dtype='int64'), ('Riders', 2017): Int64Index([11], dtype='int64'), ('Devils', 2014): Int64Index([2], dtype='int64'), ('Devils', 2015): Int64Index([3], dtype='int64'), ('kings', 2015): Int64Index([5], dtype='int64'), ('Royals', 2015): Int64Index([10], dtype='int64'), ('Kings', 2017): Int64Index([7], dtype='int64})
With the groupby object, we can iterate over the object similar to itertools.obj
# import the pandas library import pandas as pd ipl_data = {'Team': ['Riders', 'Riders', 'Devils', 'Devils', 'Kings', 'kings', 'Kings', 'Kings', 'Riders', 'Royals', 'Royals', 'Riders'], 'Rank': [1, 2, 2, 3, 3,4 ,1 ,1,2 , 4,1,2], 'Year': [2014,2015,2014,2015,2014,2015,2016,2017,2016,2014,2015,2017], 'Points':[876,789,863,673,741,812,756,788,694,701,804,690]} df = pd.DataFrame(ipl_data) grouped = df.groupby('Year') for name, group in grouped: print(name) print(group)
The running results are as follows:
2014 Points Rank Team Year 0 876 1 Riders 2014 2 863 2 Devils 2014 4 741 3 Kings 2014 9 701 4 Royals 2014 2015 Points Rank Team Year 1 789 2 Riders 2015 3 673 3 Devils 2015 5 812 4 kings 2015 10 804 1 Royals 2015 2016 Points Rank Team Year 6 756 1 Kings 2016 8 694 2 Riders 2016 2017 Points Rank Team Year 7 788 1 Kings 2017 11 690 2 Riders 2017
By default, the label name of the groupby object is the same as the group name.
Using the get_group() method, we can select a group.
# import the pandas library import pandas as pd ipl_data = {'Team': ['Riders', 'Riders', 'Devils', 'Devils', 'Kings', 'kings', 'Kings', 'Kings', 'Riders', 'Royals', 'Royals', 'Riders'], 'Rank': [1, 2, 2, 3, 3,4 ,1 ,1,2 , 4,1,2], 'Year': [2014,2015,2014,2015,2014,2015,2016,2017,2016,2014,2015,2017], 'Points':[876,789,863,673,741,812,756,788,694,701,804,690]} df = pd.DataFrame(ipl_data) grouped = df.groupby('Year') print(grouped.get_group(2014))
The running results are as follows:
Points Rank Team Year 0 876 1 Riders 2014 2 863 2 Devils 2014 4 741 3 Kings 2014 9 701 4 Royals 2014
Aggregation functions return an aggregated value for each group. Once a group object is created, several aggregation operations can be performed on the grouped data.
One obvious method is to use the sum or equivalent agg method for aggregation.
# import the pandas library import pandas as pd import numpy as np ipl_data = {'Team': ['Riders', 'Riders', 'Devils', 'Devils', 'Kings', 'kings', 'Kings', 'Kings', 'Riders', 'Royals', 'Royals', 'Riders'], 'Rank': [1, 2, 2, 3, 3,4 ,1 ,1,2 , 4,1,2], 'Year': [2014,2015,2014,2015,2014,2015,2016,2017,2016,2014,2015,2017], 'Points':[876,789,863,673,741,812,756,788,694,701,804,690]} df = pd.DataFrame(ipl_data) grouped = df.groupby('Year') print(grouped['Points'].agg(np.mean))
The running results are as follows:
Year 2014 795.25 2015 769.50 2016 725.00 2017 739.00 Name: Points, dtype: float64
Another way to view the size of each group is to apply the size() function.
import pandas as pd import numpy as np ipl_data = {'Team': ['Riders', 'Riders', 'Devils', 'Devils', 'Kings', 'kings', 'Kings', 'Kings', 'Riders', 'Royals', 'Royals', 'Riders'], 'Rank': [1, 2, 2, 3, 3,4 ,1 ,1,2 , 4,1,2], 'Year': [2014,2015,2014,2015,2014,2015,2016,2017,2016,2014,2015,2017], 'Points':[876,789,863,673,741,812,756,788,694,701,804,690]} df = pd.DataFrame(ipl_data) Attribute Access in Python Pandas grouped = df.groupby('Team') print(grouped.agg(np.size))
The running results are as follows:
Points Rank Year Team Devils 2 2 2 Kings 3 3 3 Riders 4 4 4 Royals 2 2 2 kings 1 1 1
With the grouped Series, you can also pass a list or dictionary of functions for aggregation and generate a DataFrame as output-
# import the pandas library import pandas as pd import numpy as np ipl_data = {'Team': ['Riders', 'Riders', 'Devils', 'Devils', 'Kings', 'kings', 'Kings', 'Kings', 'Riders', 'Royals', 'Royals', 'Riders'], 'Rank': [1, 2, 2, 3, 3,4 ,1 ,1,2 , 4,1,2], 'Year': [2014,2015,2014,2015,2014,2015,2016,2017,2016,2014,2015,2017], 'Points':[876,789,863,673,741,812,756,788,694,701,804,690]} df = pd.DataFrame(ipl_data) grouped = df.groupby('Team') print(grouped['Points'].agg([np.sum, np.mean, np.std]))
The running results are as follows:
Team sum mean std Devils 1536 768.000000 134.350288 Kings 2285 761.666667 24.006943 Riders 3049 762.250000 88.567771 Royals 1505 752.500000 72.831998 kings 812 812.000000 NaN
Performing transformations on groups or columns returns an index, the size of which is the same as the size of the object being grouped. Therefore, the transformation should return a result that is the same size as the group block.
# import the pandas library import pandas as pd import numpy as np ipl_data = {'Team': ['Riders', 'Riders', 'Devils', 'Devils', 'Kings', 'kings', 'Kings', 'Kings', 'Riders', 'Royals', 'Royals', 'Riders'], 'Rank': [1, 2, 2, 3, 3,4 ,1 ,1,2 , 4,1,2], 'Year': [2014,2015,2014,2015,2014,2015,2016,2017,2016,2014,2015,2017], 'Points':[876,789,863,673,741,812,756,788,694,701,804,690]} df = pd.DataFrame(ipl_data) grouped = df.groupby('Team') score = lambda x: (x - x.mean()) / x.std()*10 print(grouped.transform(score))
The running results are as follows:

Filter data based on defined conditions and return a subset of the data. The filter() function is used to screen data.
import pandas as pd import numpy as np ipl_data = {'Team': ['Riders', 'Riders', 'Devils', 'Devils', 'Kings', 'kings', 'Kings', 'Kings', 'Riders', 'Royals', 'Royals', 'Riders'], 'Rank': [1, 2, 2, 3, 3,4 ,1 ,1,2 , 4,1,2], 'Year': [2014,2015,2014,2015,2014,2015,2016,2017,2016,2014,2015,2017], 'Points':[876,789,863,673,741,812,756,788,694,701,804,690]} df = pd.DataFrame(ipl_data) print(df.groupby('Team').filter(lambda x: len(x) >= 3))
