下面是我生成一个数据框架的代码:

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

dff = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(1,2),columns=list('AB'))

然后我得到了数据框架:

+------------+---------+--------+
|            |  A      |  B     |
+------------+---------+---------
|      0     | 0.626386| 1.52325|
+------------+---------+--------+

当我输入命令时:

dff.mean(axis=1)

我得到:

0    1.074821
dtype: float64

根据pandas的参考,axis=1代表列,我希望命令的结果是

A    0.626386
B    1.523255
dtype: float64

我的问题是:轴在熊猫中是什么意思?


当前回答

它指定了计算平均值的轴。默认情况下axis=0。这与numpy一致。显式指定axis时的平均使用量(在numpy中)。mean, axis==None,默认情况下,它计算扁平数组上的平均值),其中,沿行轴=0(即,以pandas为单位的索引),沿列轴=1。为了增加清晰度,可以选择指定axis='index'(而不是axis=0)或axis='columns'(而不是axis=1)。

+------------+---------+--------+
|            |  A      |  B     |
+------------+---------+---------
|      0     | 0.626386| 1.52325|----axis=1----->
+------------+---------+--------+
             |         |
             | axis=0  |
             ↓         ↓

The easiest way for me to understand is to talk about whether you are calculating a statistic for each column (axis = 0) or each row (axis = 1). If you calculate a statistic, say a mean, with axis = 0 you will get that statistic for each column. So if each observation is a row and each variable is in a column, you would get the mean of each variable. If you set axis = 1 then you will calculate your statistic for each row. In our example, you would get the mean for each observation across all of your variables (perhaps you want the average of related measures).

轴= 0:按列=按列=沿行

轴= 1:按行=按行=沿列

在过去的一个小时里,我也一直在试着求出坐标轴。上述所有答案中的语言,以及文档都没有任何帮助。

要回答我现在理解的问题,在Pandas中,axis = 1或0意味着在应用函数时希望保持哪个轴头不变。

注意:当我说标题时,我指的是索引名

扩展你的例子:

+------------+---------+--------+
|            |  A      |  B     |
+------------+---------+---------
|      X     | 0.626386| 1.52325|
+------------+---------+--------+
|      Y     | 0.626386| 1.52325|
+------------+---------+--------+

对于axis=1=columns:我们保持列标题不变,并通过改变数据应用平均值函数。 为了演示,我们保持列标题为常量:

+------------+---------+--------+
|            |  A      |  B     |

现在我们填充A和B值的一个集合,然后找到平均值

|            | 0.626386| 1.52325|  

然后我们填充下一组A和B值,并找到平均值

|            | 0.626386| 1.52325|

类似地,对于axis=rows,我们保持行标题不变,并不断更改数据: 为了演示,首先修复行标题:

+------------+
|      X     |
+------------+
|      Y     |
+------------+

现在填充第一组X和Y值,然后求平均值

+------------+---------+
|      X     | 0.626386
+------------+---------+
|      Y     | 0.626386
+------------+---------+

然后填充下一组X和Y值,然后找到平均值:

+------------+---------+
|      X     | 1.52325 |
+------------+---------+
|      Y     | 1.52325 |
+------------+---------+

总之,

当axis=columns时,将修复列标题并更改数据,这些数据将来自不同的行。

当axis=rows时,您将修复行标题并更改数据,这些数据将来自不同的列。

这里的许多答案对我帮助很大!

如果你对Python中的axis和R中的MARGIN的不同行为感到困惑(比如在apply函数中),你可以找到我写的一篇感兴趣的博客文章:https://accio.github.io/programming/2020/05/19/numpy-pandas-axis.html。

从本质上讲:

Their behaviours are, intriguingly, easier to understand with three-dimensional array than with two-dimensional arrays. In Python packages numpy and pandas, the axis parameter in sum actually specifies numpy to calculate the mean of all values that can be fetched in the form of array[0, 0, ..., i, ..., 0] where i iterates through all possible values. The process is repeated with the position of i fixed and the indices of other dimensions vary one after the other (from the most far-right element). The result is a n-1-dimensional array. In R, the MARGINS parameter let the apply function calculate the mean of all values that can be fetched in the form of array[, ... , i, ... ,] where i iterates through all possible values. The process is not repeated when all i values have been iterated. Therefore, the result is a simple vector.

我对熊猫还是个新手。但这是我对熊猫轴的理解:


恒变方向


0列行向下|


1行列向右——>


所以要计算一列的均值,这一列应该是常数,但它下面的行可以改变(变化)所以它是axis=0。

类似地,要计算一行的平均值,特定的行是常数,但它可以遍历不同的列(变化),axis=1。

轴在编程中是形状元组中的位置。这里有一个例子:

import numpy as np

a=np.arange(120).reshape(2,3,4,5)

a.shape
Out[3]: (2, 3, 4, 5)

np.sum(a,axis=0).shape
Out[4]: (3, 4, 5)

np.sum(a,axis=1).shape
Out[5]: (2, 4, 5)

np.sum(a,axis=2).shape
Out[6]: (2, 3, 5)

np.sum(a,axis=3).shape
Out[7]: (2, 3, 4)

轴上的均值将导致该维度被移除。

参考原题,dff形状为(1,2)。使用axis=1将形状更改为(1,)。
