Series(*args, **kwargs)

N-dimensional analogue of DataFrame. Store multi-dimensional in a size-mutable, labeled data structure

Properties

T

Return the transpose, which is by definition self.

at

Access a single value for a row/column label pair.

dt

Accessor object for datetime-like properties of the Series values.

Returns
Type	Description
bigframes.operations.datetimes.DatetimeMethods	An accessor containing datetime methods.

dtype

Return the dtype object of the underlying data.

dtypes

Return the dtype object of the underlying data.

empty

Indicates whether Series/DataFrame is empty.

True if Series/DataFrame is entirely empty (no items), meaning any of the axes are of length 0.

Note: If Series/DataFrame contains only NA values, it is still not considered empty.

Returns
Type	Description
bool	If Series/DataFrame is empty, return True, if not return False.

iat

Access a single value for a row/column pair by integer position.

iloc

Purely integer-location based indexing for selection by position.

index

The index (axis labels) of the Series.

The index of a Series is used to label and identify each element of the underlying data. The index can be thought of as an immutable ordered set (technically a multi-set, as it may contain duplicate labels), and is used to index and align data.

Examples:

>>> import bigframes.pandas as bpd
>>> bpd.options.display.progress_bar = None

You can access the index of a Series via index property.

>>> df = bpd.DataFrame({'Name': ['Alice', 'Bob', 'Aritra'],
...                     'Age': [25, 30, 35],
...                     'Location': ['Seattle', 'New York', 'Kona']},
...                    index=([10, 20, 30]))
>>> s = df["Age"]
>>> s
10    25
20    30
30    35
Name: Age, dtype: Int64
>>> s.index # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
<bigframes.core.indexes.index.Index object at ...>
>>> s.index.values
array([10, 20, 30], dtype=object)

Let's try setting a multi-index case reflect via index property.

>>> df1 = df.set_index(["Name", "Location"])
>>> s1 = df1["Age"]
>>> s1
Name    Location
Alice   Seattle     25
Bob     New York    30
Aritra  Kona        35
Name: Age, dtype: Int64
>>> s1.index # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
<bigframes.core.indexes.index.Index object at ...>
>>> s1.index.values
array([('Alice', 'Seattle'), ('Bob', 'New York'), ('Aritra', 'Kona')],
    dtype=object)

Returns
Type	Description
Index	The index object of the Series.

is_monotonic_decreasing

Return boolean if values in the object are monotonically decreasing.

Returns
Type	Description
bool	Boolean.

is_monotonic_increasing

Return boolean if values in the object are monotonically increasing.

Returns
Type	Description
bool	Boolean.

loc

Access a group of rows and columns by label(s) or a boolean array.

.loc[] is primarily label based, but may also be used with a boolean array.

Allowed inputs are:

• A single label, e.g. 5 or 'a', (note that 5 is interpreted as a label of the index, and never as an integer position along the index).
• A list of labels, e.g. ['a', 'b', 'c'].
• A boolean series of the same length as the axis being sliced, e.g. [True, False, True].
• An alignable Index. The index of the returned selection will be the input.
• Not supported yet An alignable boolean Series. The index of the key will be aligned before masking.
• Not supported yet A slice object with labels, e.g. 'a':'f'. Note: contrary to usual python slices, both the start and the stop are included.
• Not supported yet A callable function with one argument (the calling Series or DataFrame) that returns valid output for indexing (one of the above).

Exceptions
Type	Description
NotImplementError	if the inputs are not supported.

name

Return the name of the Series.

The name of a Series becomes its index or column name if it is used to form a DataFrame. It is also used whenever displaying the Series using the interpreter.

Returns
Type	Description
hashable object	The name of the Series, also the column name if part of a DataFrame.

ndim

Return an int representing the number of axes / array dimensions.

Returns
Type	Description

query_job

BigQuery job metadata for the most recent query.

shape

Return a tuple of the shape of the underlying data.

Examples:

>>> import bigframes.pandas as bpd
>>> bpd.options.display.progress_bar = None

>>> s.shape
(4,)
>>> s = bpd.Series(['Alice', 'Bob', bpd.NA])
>>> s.shape
(3,)

size

Return an int representing the number of elements in this object.

Returns
Type	Description
int	Return the number of rows if Series. Otherwise return the number of rows times number of columns if DataFrame.

str

Vectorized string functions for Series and Index.

NAs stay NA unless handled otherwise by a particular method. Patterned after Python’s string methods, with some inspiration from R’s stringr package.

Returns
Type	Description
bigframes.operations.strings.StringMethods	An accessor containing string methods.

struct

Accessor object for struct properties of the Series values.

Returns
Type	Description
bigframes.operations.structs.StructAccessor	An accessor containing struct methods.

0    0.0
1    0.5
2    1.0
3    1.5
4    2.0
dtype: Float64

You could turn a user defined function with external package dependencies into a BigQuery DataFrames remote function. You would provide the names of the packages via packages param.

>>> @bpd.remote_function(
...     [str],

) -> bigframes.core.groupby.SeriesGroupBy

Group Series using a mapper or by a Series of columns.

A groupby operation involves some combination of splitting the object, applying a function, and combining the results. This can be used to group large amounts of data and compute operations on these groups.

Parameters
Name	Description
by	mapping, function, label, pd.Grouper or list of such, default None Used to determine the groups for the groupby. If by is a function, it's called on each value of the object's index. If a dict or Series is passed, the Series or dict VALUES will be used to determine the groups (the Series' values are first aligned; see .align() method). If a list or ndarray of length equal to the selected axis is passed (see the groupby user guide https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/user_guide/groupby.html#splitting-an-object-into-groups_), the values are used as-is to determine the groups. A label or list of labels may be passed to group by the columns in self. Notice that a tuple is interpreted as a (single) key.
axis	{0 or 'index', 1 or 'columns'}, default 0 Split along rows (0) or columns (1). For Series this parameter is unused and defaults to 0.
level	int, level name, or sequence of such, default None If the axis is a MultiIndex (hierarchical), group by a particular level or levels. Do not specify both by and level.

head

head(n: int = 5) -> bigframes.series.Series

Return the first n rows.

This function returns the first n rows for the object based on position. It is useful for quickly testing if your object has the right type of data in it.

For negative values of n, this function returns all rows except the last |n| rows, equivalent to df[:n].

If n is larger than the number of rows, this function returns all rows.

Examples:

>>> import bigframes.pandas as bpd
>>> bpd.options.display.progress_bar = None

>>> df = bpd.DataFrame({'animal': ['alligator', 'bee', 'falcon', 'lion',
...                     'monkey', 'parrot', 'shark', 'whale', 'zebra']})
>>> df

>>> df.head()
    animal
0  alligator
1        bee
2     falcon
3       lion
4     monkey
<BLANKLINE>

isin

isin(values) -> "Series" | None

Whether elements in Series are contained in values.

Return a boolean Series showing whether each element in the Series matches an element in the passed sequence of values exactly.

Note: This function treats all NaN-like values(e.g., pd.NA, numpy.nan, None) as the same. That is, if any form of NaN is present in values, all forms of NaN in the series will be considered a match. (though pandas may not)

Parameter
Name	Description

Exceptions
Type	Description
TypeError	If input is not list-like.

lt

lt(other) -> bigframes.series.Series

Get 'less than' of Series and other, element-wise (binary operator <).

Equivalent to series < other, but with support to substitute a fill_value for missing data in either one of the inputs.

map

map(
    arg: typing.Union[typing.Mapping, bigframes.series.Series],
    na_action: typing.Optional[str] = None,
    *,
    verify_integrity: bool = False
) -> bigframes.series.Series

Map values of Series according to an input mapping or function.

Used for substituting each value in a Series with another value, that may be derived from a remote function, dict, or a Series.

If arg is a remote function, the overhead for remote functions applies. If mapping with a dict, fully deferred computation is possible. If mapping with a Series, fully deferred computation is only possible if verify_integrity=False.

Note: Bigframes does not yet support dict subclasses that define __missing__ (i.e. provide a method for default values). These are treated the same as dict.

Parameter
Name	Description
arg	function, Mapping, Series remote function, collections.abc.Mapping subclass or Series Mapping correspondence.

Returns
Type	Description
Series	Same index as caller.

mask

mask(cond, other=None) -> bigframes.series.Series

Examples:

>>> import bigframes.pandas as bpd

>>> s
0    10
1    11
2    12
3    13
4    14
dtype: Int64

You can mask the values in the Series based on a condition. The values matching the condition would be masked.

>>> s.mask(s % 2 == 0)
0    <NA>
1      11
2    <NA>
3      13
4    <NA>
dtype: Int64

You can specify a custom mask value.

>>> s.mask(s % 2 == 0, -1)
0    -1
1    11
2    -1
3    13
4    -1
dtype: Int64
>>> s.mask(s % 2 == 0, 100*s)
0    1000
1      11
2    1200
3      13
4    1400
dtype: Int64

You can also use a remote function to evaluate the mask condition. This is useful in situation such as the following, where the mask condition is evaluated based on a complicated business logic which cannot be expressed in form of a Series.

>>> @bpd.remote_function([str], bool, reuse=False)
... def should_mask(name):
...     hash = 0
...     for char_ in name:
...         hash += ord(char_)
...     return hash % 2 == 0

>>> s = bpd.Series(["Alice", "Bob", "Caroline"])
>>> s
0       Alice
1         Bob
2    Caroline
dtype: string
>>> s.mask(should_mask)
0        <NA>
1         Bob
2    Caroline
dtype: string
>>> s.mask(should_mask, "REDACTED")
0    REDACTED
1         Bob
2    Caroline
dtype: string

Parameters

If other is callable, it is computed on the Series/DataFrame and returns scalar or Series/DataFrame. The callable must not change input Series/DataFrame (though pandas doesn’t check it). If not specified, entries will be filled with the corresponding NULL value (np.nan for numpy dtypes, pd.NA for extension dtypes).

Returns
Type	Description
bigframes.series.Series	Series after the replacement.
