Index Index with values cast to specified dtype.

copy

copy(name: typing.Optional[typing.Hashable] = None)

Make a copy of this object.

Name is set on the new object.

Parameter
Name Description
name Label, optional

Set name for new object.

Returns
Type Description
Index Index reference to new object, which is a copy of this object.

drop

drop(labels: typing.Any) -> bigframes.core.indexes.base.Index

Make new Index with passed list of labels deleted.

Returns
Type Description
Index Will be same type as self.

drop_duplicates

drop_duplicates(*, keep: str = "first") -> bigframes.core.indexes.base.Index

Return Index with duplicate values removed.

Parameter
Name Description
keep {'first', 'last', False}, default 'first'

One of: 'first' : Drop duplicates except for the first occurrence. 'last' : Drop duplicates except for the last occurrence. False : Drop all duplicates.

dropna

dropna(how: str = "any") -> bigframes.core.indexes.base.Index

Return Index without NA/NaN values.

Parameter
Name Description
how {'any', 'all'}, default 'any'

If the Index is a MultiIndex, drop the value when any or all levels are NaN.

fillna

fillna(value=None) -> bigframes.core.indexes.base.Index

Fill NA/NaN values with the specified value.

Parameter
Name Description
value scalar

Scalar value to use to fill holes (e.g. 0). This value cannot be a list-likes.

from_frame

from_frame(
    frame: typing.Union[bigframes.series.Series, bigframes.dataframe.DataFrame]

get_level_values

get_level_values(level) -> bigframes.core.indexes.base.Index

Return an Index of values for requested level.

This is primarily useful to get an individual level of values from a MultiIndex, but is provided on Index as well for compatibility.

rename

rename(
    name: typing.Union[str, typing.Sequence[str]]
) -> bigframes.core.indexes.base.Index

Alter Index or MultiIndex name.

Able to set new names without level. Defaults to returning new index. Length of names must match number of levels in MultiIndex.

Parameter
Name Description
name label or list of labels

Name(s) to set.

sort_values

    name: typing.Optional[typing.Hashable] = None,
) -> bigframes.series.Series

Create a Series with both index and values equal to the index keys.

Useful with map for returning an indexer based on an index.

Parameters
Name Description
index Index, optional

Index of resulting Series. If None, defaults to original index.

    sort: bool = True,
    ascending: bool = False,

)

Return a Series containing counts of unique values.

The resulting object will be in descending order so that the first element is the most frequently-occurring element. Excludes NA values by default.
