pandas高级功能：面板数据、字符串方法、分类、可视化。

面板数据

{pandas数据结构有一维Series，二维DataFrame，这是三维Panel}
pandas有一个Panel数据结构，可以将其看做一个三维版的，可以用一个由DataFrame对象组成的字典或一个三维ndarray来创建Panel对象：
import pandas.io.data as web
pdata = pd.Panel(dict((stk, web.get_data_yahoo(stk, '1/1/2009', '6/1/2012')) for stk in ['AAPL', 'GOOG', 'MSFT','DELL']))
Note: stk代表指标，6个指标；三维：stk,company,time.
Panel中的每一项（类似于DataFrame的列）都是一个DataFrame
>>> pdata
<class 'pandas.core.panel.Panel'>
Dimensions: 4 (items) x 868 (major_axis) x 6 (minor_axis)
Items axis: AAPL to MSFT
Major_axis axis: 2009-01-02 00:00:00 to 2012-06-01 00:00:00
Minor_axis axis: Open to Adj Close
>>> pdata = pdata.swapaxes('items', 'minor')
>>>pdata['Adj Close']

三维度ix标签索引

基于ix的标签索引被推广到了三个维度，因此可以选取指定日期或日期范围的所有数据，如下所示：
>>> pdata.ix[:,'6/1/2012',:]
>>>pdata.ix['Adj Close', '5/22/2012':,:]
另一个用于呈现面板数据（尤其是对拟合统计模型）的办法是“堆积式的” DataFrame 形式：
>>> stacked=pdata.ix[:,'5/30/2012':,:].to_frame()
>>>stacked
DataFrame有一个相应的to_panel方法，它是to_frame的逆运算:
>>> stacked.to_panel()
<class 'pandas.core.panel.Panel'>
Dimensions: 6 (items) x 3 (major_axis) x 4 (minor_axis)
Items axis: Open to Adj Close
Major_axis axis: 2012-05-30 00:00:00 to 2012-06-01 00:00:00
Minor_axis axis: AAPL to MSFT

字符串方法String Methods

Series is equipped with a set of string processing methods in the strattribute that make it easy to operate on each element of the array, as in thecode snippet below. Note that pattern-matching instr generally usesregularexpressions by default (and insome cases always uses them). See more atVectorized String Methods.

In [71]: s = pd.Series(['A', 'B', 'C', 'Aaba', 'Baca', np.nan, 'CABA', 'dog', 'cat'])In [72]: s.str.lower()Out[72]: 0       a1       b2       c3    aaba4    baca5     NaN6    caba7     dog8     catdtype: object

分类Categoricals

Since version 0.15, pandas can include categorical data in a DataFrame. For full docs, see thecategorical introduction and theAPI documentation.

In [122]: df = pd.DataFrame({"id":[1,2,3,4,5,6], "raw_grade":['a', 'b', 'b', 'a', 'a', 'e']})

Convert the raw grades to a categorical data type.

In [123]: df["grade"] = df["raw_grade"].astype("category")In [124]: df["grade"]Out[124]: 0    a1    b2    b3    a4    a5    eName: grade, dtype: categoryCategories (3, object): [a, b, e]

Rename the categories to more meaningful names (assigning to Series.cat.categories is inplace!)

In [125]: df["grade"].cat.categories = ["very good", "good", "very bad"]

Reorder the categories and simultaneously add the missing categories (methods underSeries.cat return a newSeries per default).

In [126]: df["grade"] = df["grade"].cat.set_categories(["very bad", "bad", "medium", "good", "very good"])In [127]: df["grade"]Out[127]: 0    very good1         good2         good3    very good4    very good5     very badName: grade, dtype: categoryCategories (5, object): [very bad, bad, medium, good, very good]

Sorting is per order in the categories, not lexical order.

In [128]: df.sort_values(by="grade")Out[128]:    id raw_grade      grade5   6         e   very bad1   2         b       good2   3         b       good0   1         a  very good3   4         a  very good4   5         a  very good

Grouping by a categorical column shows also empty categories.

In [129]: df.groupby("grade").size()Out[129]: gradevery bad     1bad          0medium       0good         2very good    3dtype: int64

可视化Plot

DataFrame内置基于matplotlib的绘图功能

In [76]: df['GDP percap'].plot(kind='bar')In [77]: import matplotlib.pyplot as pltIn [78]: plt.show()

直接绘制

Plotting docs.

In [130]: ts = pd.Series(np.random.randn(1000), index=pd.date_range('1/1/2000', periods=1000))In [131]: ts = ts.cumsum()In [132]: ts.plot()Out[132]: <matplotlib.axes._subplots.AxesSubplot at 0xaf49988c>

On DataFrame, plot() is a convenience to plot all of the columns with labels:

In [133]: df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(1000, 4), index=ts.index,   .....:                   columns=['A', 'B', 'C', 'D'])   .....: In [134]: df = df.cumsum()In [135]: plt.figure(); df.plot(); plt.legend(loc='best')Out[135]: <matplotlib.legend.Legend at 0xaf499d4c>

绘制盒图

Python中有许多可视化模块，最流行的当属matpalotlib库[matplotlib绘图基础]。稍加提及，我们也可选择bokeh和seaborn模块[python高级绘图库seaborn]。

使用matplotlib

# Import the module for plotting

import matplotlib.pyplot asplt

plt.show(df.plot(kind='box'))

使用pandas模块中集成R的ggplot主题来美化图表

要使用ggplot，我们只需要在上述代码中多加一行：

importmatplotlib.pyplotasplt

pd.options.display.mpl_style='default'# Sets the plotting display theme to ggplot2

df.plot(kind='box')

比matplotlib.pyplot主题简洁太多。

更好的是引入seaborn模块

该模块是一个统计数据可视化库：

# Import the seaborn library

import seaborn assns

# Do the boxplot

plt.show(sns.boxplot(df,widths=0.5,color="pastel"))

plt.show(sns.violinplot(df,widths=0.5,color="pastel"))

绘制散点图scatter

df:

    age  fat_percent
0    23          9.5
1    23         26.5
2    27          7.8
3    27         17.8
4    39         31.4
5    41         25.9

plt.show(df.plot(kind='scatter', x='age', y='fat_percent'))

Note: 不指定x,y会出错： ValueError: scatter requires and x and y column

绘制直方曲线图

plt.show(sns.distplot(df.ix[:,2],rug=True,bins=15))

绘制其它图

with sns.axes_style("white"):

    plt.show(sns.jointplot(df.ix[:,1],df.ix[:,2],kind="kde"))

plt.show(sns.lmplot("Benguet", "Ifugao", df))
