Class DataFrame (1.10.0)

DataFrame(
    data=None,
    index: vendored_pandas_typing.Axes | None = None,
    columns: vendored_pandas_typing.Axes | None = None,
    dtype: typing.Optional[
        bigframes.dtypes.DtypeString | bigframes.dtypes.Dtype
    ] = None,
    copy: typing.Optional[bool] = None,
    *,
    session: typing.Optional[bigframes.session.Session] = None
)

Two-dimensional, size-mutable, potentially heterogeneous tabular data.

Data structure also contains labeled axes (rows and columns). Arithmetic operations align on both row and column labels. Can be thought of as a dict-like container for Series objects. The primary pandas data structure.

groupby

groupby(
    by: typing.Optional[
        typing.Union[
            typing.Hashable,
            bigframes.series.Series,
            typing.Sequence[typing.Union[typing.Hashable, bigframes.series.Series]],
        ]
    ] = None,
    *,
    level: typing.Optional[
        typing.Union[typing.Hashable, typing.Sequence[typing.Hashable]]
    ] = None,
    as_index: bool = True,
    dropna: bool = True
) -> bigframes.core.groupby.DataFrameGroupBy

Group DataFrame by 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.

Examples:

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

>>> df = bpd.DataFrame({'Animal': ['Falcon', 'Falcon',
...                                'Parrot', 'Parrot'],
...                     'Max Speed': [380., 370., 24., 26.]})
>>> df
   Animal  Max Speed
0  Falcon      380.0
1  Falcon      370.0
2  Parrot       24.0
3  Parrot       26.0
<BLANKLINE>
[4 rows x 2 columns]

>>> df.groupby(['Animal'])['Max Speed'].mean()
Animal
Falcon    375.0
Parrot     25.0
Name: Max Speed, dtype: Float64

We can also choose to include NA in group keys or not by setting dropna:

>>> df = bpd.DataFrame([[1, 2, 3],[1, None, 4], [2, 1, 3], [1, 2, 2]],
...                    columns=["a", "b", "c"])
>>> df.groupby(by=["b"]).sum()
     a  c
b
1.0  2  3
2.0  2  5
<BLANKLINE>
[2 rows x 2 columns]

>>> df.groupby(by=["b"], dropna=False).sum()
      a  c
b
1.0   2  3
2.0   2  5
<NA>  1  4
<BLANKLINE>
[3 rows x 2 columns]

We can also choose to return object with group labels or not by setting as_index:

>>> df.groupby(by=["b"], as_index=False).sum()
     b  a  c
0  1.0  2  3
1  2.0  2  5
<BLANKLINE>
[2 rows x 3 columns]
Parameters
Name Description
by str, Sequence[str]

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.

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.

as_index bool, default True

Default True. Return object with group labels as the index. Only relevant for DataFrame input. as_index=False is effectively "SQL-style" grouped output. This argument has no effect on filtrations such as head(), tail(), nth() and in transformations.

dropna bool, default True

Default True. If True, and if group keys contain NA values, NA values together with row/column will be dropped. If False, NA values will also be treated as the key in groups.

Returns
Type Description
bigframes.core.groupby.SeriesGroupBy A groupby object that contains information about the groups.

gt

gt(other: typing.Any, axis: str | int = "columns") -> bigframes.dataframe.DataFrame

Get 'greater than' of DataFrame and other, element-wise (binary operator >).

Among flexible wrappers (eq, ne, le, lt, ge, gt) to comparison operators.

Equivalent to ==, !=, <=, <, >=, > with support to choose axis (rows or columns) and level for comparison.

Examples:

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

>>> df = bpd.DataFrame({'angles': [0, 3, 4],
...        'degrees': [360, 180, 360]},
...       index=['circle', 'triangle', 'rectangle'])
>>> df["degrees"].gt(360)
circle       False
triangle     False
rectangle    False
Name: degrees, dtype: boolean

You can also use arithmetic operator >:

>>> df["degrees"] > 360
circle       False
triangle     False
rectangle    False
Name: degrees, dtype: boolean
Parameters
Name Description
other scalar, sequence, Series, or DataFrame

Any single or multiple element data structure, or list-like object.

axis {0 or 'index', 1 or 'columns'}, default 'columns'

Whether to compare by the index (0 or 'index') or columns (1 or 'columns').

Returns
Type Description
DataFrame DataFrame of bool: The result of the comparison.

head

head(n: int = 5) -> bigframes.dataframe.DataFrame

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
    animal
0  alligator
1        bee
2     falcon
3       lion
4     monkey
5     parrot
6      shark
7      whale
8      zebra
<BLANKLINE>
[9 rows x 1 columns]

    max_cols: typing.Optional[int] = None,
    memory_usage: typing.Optional[bool] = None,
    show_counts: typing.Optional[bool] = None,
)

Print a concise summary of a DataFrame.

This method prints information about a DataFrame including the index dtypeand columns, non-null values and memory usage.

Parameters
Name Description
verbose bool, optional

Whether to print the full summary. By default, the setting in pandas.options.display.max_info_columns is followed.

buf writable buffer, defaults to sys.stdout

Where to send the output. By default, the output is printed to sys.stdout. Pass a writable buffer if you need to further process the output.

max_cols int, optional

When to switch from the verbose to the truncated output. If the DataFrame has more than max_cols columns, the truncated output is used. By default, the setting in pandas.options.display.max_info_columns is used.

memory_usage bool, optional

Specifies whether total memory usage of the DataFrame elements (including the index) should be displayed. By default, this follows the pandas.options.display.memory_usage setting. True always show memory usage. False never shows memory usage. Memory estimation is made based in column dtype and number of rows assuming values consume the same memory amount for corresponding dtypes.

show_counts bool, optional

Whether to show the non-null counts. By default, this is shown only if the DataFrame is smaller than pandas.options.display.max_info_rows and pandas.options.display.max_info_columns. A value of True always shows the counts, and False never shows the counts.

Returns

    *,
    on: typing.Optional[str] = None,
    how: str = "left"
) -> bigframes.dataframe.DataFrame

Join columns of another DataFrame.

Join columns with other DataFrame on index

Examples:

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

Join two DataFrames by specifying how to handle the operation:

>>> df1 = bpd.DataFrame({'col1': ['foo', 'bar'], 'col2': [1, 2]}, index=[10, 11])
>>> df1
   col1  col2
10  foo     1
11  bar     2
<BLANKLINE>
[2 rows x 2 columns]

>>> df2 = bpd.DataFrame({'col3': ['foo', 'baz'], 'col4': [3, 4]}, index=[11, 22])
>>> df2
   col3  col4
11  foo     3
22  baz     4
<BLANKLINE>
[2 rows x 2 columns]

>>> df1.join(df2)
   col1  col2  col3  col4
10  foo     1  <NA>  <NA>
11  bar     2   foo     3
<BLANKLINE>
[2 rows x 4 columns]

>>> df1.join(df2, how="left")
   col1  col2  col3  col4
10  foo     1  <NA>  <NA>
11  bar     2   foo     3
<BLANKLINE>

22  <NA>  <NA>  baz     4
<BLANKLINE>
[2 rows x 4 columns]

>>> df1.join(df2, how="outer")

   col1  col2 col3  col4
11  bar     2  foo     3
<BLANKLINE>
[1 rows x 4 columns]

Another option to join using the key columns is to use the on parameter:

>>> df1.join(df2, on="col1", how="right")
      col1  col2 col3  col4
<NA>    11  <NA>  foo     3
<NA>    22  <NA>  baz     4
<BLANKLINE>
[2 rows x 4 columns]
Parameter
Name Description
how {'left', 'right', 'outer', 'inner'}, default 'left'

How to handle the operation of the two objects. left: use calling frame's index (or column if on is specified) right: use other's index. outer: form union of calling frame's index (or column if on is specified) with other's index, and sort it lexicographically. inner: form intersection of calling frame's index (or column if on is specified) with other's index, preserving the order of the calling's one. cross: creates the cartesian product from both frames, preserves the order of the left keys.

Query results will be cached so that future steps will benefit from these queries.

Parameters
Name Description
n int, default 5

The number of rows to select from the dataframe. Which N rows are returned is non-deterministic.

force bool, default True

If the data cannot be peeked efficiently, the dataframe will instead be fully materialized as part of the operation if force=True. If force=False, the operation will throw a ValueError.

>>> import numpy as np
>>> bpd.options.display.progress_bar = None

>>> data = [[8000, 1000], [9500, np.nan], [5000, 2000]]
>>> df = bpd.DataFrame(data, columns=['Salary', 'Others'])
>>> df
   Salary  Others

>>> def subtract_national_insurance(df, rate, rate_increase):
...     new_rate = rate + rate_increase
...     return df * (1 - new_rate)

Instead of writing

>>> subtract_national_insurance(
...     subtract_state_tax(subtract_federal_tax(df), rate=0.12),
...     rate=0.05,
...     rate_increase=0.02)  # doctest: +SKIP

...     new_rate = rate + rate_increase
...     return df * (1 - new_rate)
>>> (
...     df.pipe(subtract_federal_tax)
...     .pipe(subtract_state_tax, rate=0.12)
...     .pipe(
...         (subtract_national_insurance, 'df'),
...         rate=0.05,
...         rate_increase=0.02
...     )
... )

Parameter
Name Description
expr str

The query string to evaluate. You can refer to variables in the environment by prefixing them with an '@' character like @a + b. You can refer to column names that are not valid Python variable names by surrounding them in backticks. Thus, column names containing spaces or punctuations (besides underscores) or starting with digits must be surrounded by backticks. (For example, a column named "Area (cm^2)" would be referenced as <code>Area (cm^2)</code>`<code>). Column names which are Python keywords (like "list", "for", "import", etc) cannot be used. For example, if one of your columns is called </code>a a<code> and you want to sum it with </code><code>b</code><code>, your query should be </code>`<code>a a</code> + b.

replace

replace(to_replace: typing.Any, value: typing.Any = None, *, regex: bool = False)

Replace values given in to_replace with value.

Values of the Series/DataFrame are replaced with other values dynamically. This differs from updating with .loc or .iloc, which require you to specify a location to update with some value.

Examples:

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

>>> df = bpd.DataFrame({
...     'int_col': [1, 1, 2, 3],
...     'string_col': ["a", "b", "c", "b"],
...     })

Using scalar to_replace and value:

>>> df.replace("b", "e")
   int_col string_col
0        1          a
1        1          e
2        2          c
3        3          e
<BLANKLINE>
[4 rows x 2 columns]

Using dictionary:

>>> df.replace({"a": "e", 2: 5})
   int_col string_col
0        1          e
1        1          b
2        5          c
3        3          b
<BLANKLINE>
[4 rows x 2 columns]

Using regex:

>>> df.replace("[ab]", "e", regex=True)
   int_col string_col
0        1          e
1        1          e
2        2          c
3        3          e
<BLANKLINE>
[4 rows x 2 columns]
Parameters
Name Description
to_replace str, regex, list, int, float or None

How to find the values that will be replaced. numeric: numeric values equal to to_replace will be replaced with value str: string exactly matching to_replace will be replaced with value regex: regexs matching to_replace will be replaced withvalue list of str, regex, or numeric: First, if to_replace and value are both lists, they must be the same length. Second, if regex=True then all of the strings in both lists will be interpreted as regexs otherwise they will match directly. This doesn't matter much for value since there are only a few possible substitution regexes you can use. str, regex and numeric rules apply as above.

value scalar, default None

Value to replace any values matching to_replace with. For a DataFrame a dict of values can be used to specify which value to use for each column (columns not in the dict will not be filled). Regular expressions, strings and lists or dicts of such objects are also allowed.

regex bool, default False

Whether to interpret to_replace and/or value as regular expressions. If this is True then to_replace must be a string.

Returns
Type Description
Series/DataFrame Object after replacement.

reset_index

reset_index(*, drop: bool = False) -> bigframes.dataframe.DataFrame

Reset the index.

Reset the index of the DataFrame, and use the default one instead.

Examples:

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

>>> import numpy as np
>>> df = bpd.DataFrame([('bird', 389.0),
...                     ('bird', 24.0),
...                     ('mammal', 80.5),
...                     ('mammal', np.nan)],
...                    index=['falcon', 'parrot', 'lion', 'monkey'],
...                    columns=('class', 'max_speed'))
>>> df
         class  max_speed
falcon    bird      389.0
parrot    bird       24.0
lion    mammal       80.5
monkey  mammal       <NA>
<BLANKLINE>
[4 rows x 2 columns]

When we reset the index, the old index is added as a column, and a new sequential index is used:

>>> df.reset_index()
    index   class  max_speed
0  falcon    bird      389.0
1  parrot    bird       24.0
2    lion  mammal       80.5
3  monkey  mammal       <NA>
<BLANKLINE>
[4 rows x 3 columns]

We can use the drop parameter to avoid the old index being added as a column:

>>> df.reset_index(drop=True)
    class  max_speed
0    bird      389.0
1    bird       24.0
2  mammal       80.5
3  mammal       <NA>
<BLANKLINE>
[4 rows x 2 columns]

You can also use reset_index with MultiIndex.

>>> import pandas as pd
>>> index = pd.MultiIndex.from_tuples([('bird', 'falcon'),
...                                    ('bird', 'parrot'),
...                                    ('mammal', 'lion'),
...                                    ('mammal', 'monkey')],
...                                   names=['class', 'name'])
>>> columns = ['speed', 'max']
>>> df = bpd.DataFrame([(389.0, 'fly'),
...                     (24.0, 'fly'),
...                     (80.5, 'run'),
...                     (np.nan, 'jump')],
...                    index=index,
...                    columns=columns)
>>> df
               speed   max
class  name
bird   falcon  389.0   fly
       parrot   24.0   fly
mammal lion     80.5   run
       monkey   <NA>  jump
<BLANKLINE>
[4 rows x 2 columns]

>>> df.reset_index()
    class    name  speed   max
0    bird  falcon  389.0   fly

to_excel

to_excel(excel_writer, sheet_name: str = "Sheet1", **kwargs) -> None

Write DataFrame to an Excel sheet.

To write a single DataFrame to an Excel .xlsx file it is only necessary to specify a target file name. To write to multiple sheets it is necessary to create an ExcelWriter object with a target file name, and specify a sheet in the file to write to.

Multiple sheets may be written to by specifying unique sheet_name. With all data written to the file it is necessary to save the changes. Note that creating an ExcelWriter object with a file name that already exists will result in the contents of the existing file being erased.

Examples:

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

>>> df = bpd.DataFrame({'col1': [1, 2], 'col2': [3, 4]})
>>> df.to_excel(tempfile.TemporaryFile())
Parameters
Name Description
excel_writer path-like, file-like, or ExcelWriter object

File path or existing ExcelWriter.

sheet_name str, default 'Sheet1'

Name of sheet which will contain DataFrame.

When the dtype is homogeneous in the original DataFrame, we get a
transposed DataFrame with the same dtype:

>>> df1.dtypes
col1    Int64

)

Pivot a level of the (necessarily hierarchical) index labels.

Returns a DataFrame having a new level of column labels whose inner-most level consists of the pivoted index labels.

If the index is not a MultiIndex, the output will be a Series (the analogue of stack when the columns are not a MultiIndex).

Examples:

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

>>> df = bpd.DataFrame({'A': [1, 3], 'B': [2, 4]}, index=['foo', 'bar'])
>>> df
        A   B
foo     1   2
bar     3   4
<BLANKLINE>
[2 rows x 2 columns]

>>> df.unstack()
A   foo    1
    bar    3
B   foo    2
    bar    4
dtype: Int64
Parameter
Name Description
level int, str, or list of these, default -1 (last level)

Level(s) of index to unstack, can pass level name.

Returns
Type Description
DataFrame or Series DataFrame or Series.

update

update(other, join: str = "left", overwrite=True, filter_func=None)

Modify in place using non-NA values from another DataFrame.

Aligns on indices. There is no return value.

Examples:

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

>>> df = bpd.DataFrame({'A': [1, 2, 3],
...                    'B': [400, 500, 600]})
>>> new_df = bpd.DataFrame({'B': [4, 5, 6],
...                        'C': [7, 8, 9]})
>>> df.update(new_df)
>>> df
   A  B
0  1  4
1  2  5
2  3  6
<BLANKLINE>
[3 rows x 2 columns]
Parameters
Name Description
other DataFrame, or object coercible into a DataFrame

Should have at least one matching index/column label with the original DataFrame. If a Series is passed, its name attribute must be set, and that will be used as the column name to align with the original DataFrame.

join {'left'}, default 'left'

Only left join is implemented, keeping the index and columns of the original object.

overwrite bool, default True

How to handle non-NA values for overlapping keys: True: overwrite original DataFrame's values with values from other. False: only update values that are NA in the original DataFrame.

filter_func callable(1d-array) -> bool 1d-array, optional

Can choose to replace values other than NA. Return True for values that should be updated.

Returns
Type Description
None This method directly changes calling object.

value_counts

value_counts(
    subset: typing.Union[typing.Hashable, typing.Sequence[typing.Hashable]] = None,
    normalize: bool = False,
    sort: bool = True,
    ascending: bool = False,
    dropna: bool = True,
)

Return a Series containing counts of unique rows in the DataFrame.

Examples:

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

>>> df = bpd.DataFrame({'num_legs': [2, 4, 4, 6, 7],
...                     'num_wings': [2, 0, 0, 0, bpd.NA]},
...                    index=['falcon', 'dog', 'cat', 'ant', 'octopus'],
...                    dtype='Int64')
>>> df
         num_legs  num_wings
falcon          2          2
dog             4          0
cat             4          0
ant             6          0
octopus         7       <NA>
<BLANKLINE>
[5 rows x 2 columns]

value_counts sorts the result by counts in a descending order by default:

>>> df.value_counts()
num_legs  num_wings
4         0          2
2         2          1
6         0          1
Name: count, dtype: Int64

You can normalize the counts to return relative frequencies by setting normalize=True:

>>> df.value_counts(normalize=True)
num_legs  num_wings
4         0             0.5
2         2            0.25
6         0            0.25
Name: proportion, dtype: Float64

You can get the rows in the ascending order of the counts by setting ascending=True:

>>> df.value_counts(ascending=True)
num_legs  num_wings
2         2          1
6         0          1
4         0          2
Name: count, dtype: Int64

You can include the counts of the rows with NA values by setting dropna=False:

>>> df.value_counts(dropna=False)
num_legs  num_wings
4         0            2
2         2            1
6         0            1
7         <NA>         1
Name: count, dtype: Int64
Parameters
Name Description
subset label or list of labels, optional

Columns to use when counting unique combinations.

normalize bool, default False

Return proportions rather than frequencies.

sort bool, default True

Sort by frequencies.

ascending bool, default False

Sort in ascending order.

dropna bool, default True

Don’t include counts of rows that contain NA values.

Returns
Type Description
Series Series containing counts of unique rows in the DataFrame

var

var(
    axis: typing.Union[str, int] = 0, *, numeric_only: bool = False
) -> bigframes.series.Series

Return unbiased variance over requested axis.

Normalized by N-1 by default.

Examples:

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

>>> df = bpd.DataFrame({"A": [1, 3], "B": [2, 4]})
>>> df
    A       B
0   1       2
1   3       4
<BLANKLINE>
[2 rows x 2 columns]

Calculating the variance of each column (the default behavior without an explicit axis parameter).

>>> df.var()
A    2.0
B    2.0
dtype: Float64

Calculating the variance of each row.

>>> df.var(axis=1)
0    0.5
1    0.5
dtype: Float64
Parameters
Name Description
axis {index (0), columns (1)}

Axis for the function to be applied on. For Series this parameter is unused and defaults to 0.

numeric_only bool. default False

Default False. Include only float, int, boolean columns.

Returns
