我如何创建一个空DataFrame,然后添加行,一个接一个?

我创建了一个空DataFrame:

df = pd.DataFrame(columns=('lib', 'qty1', 'qty2'))

然后我可以在最后添加一个新行,并填充一个字段:

df = df._set_value(index=len(df), col='qty1', value=10.0)

它一次只适用于一个领域。向df中添加新行有什么更好的方法?

另一种方法(可能不是很有效):

# add a row
def add_row(df, row):
    colnames = list(df.columns)
    ncol = len(colnames)
    assert ncol == len(row), "Length of row must be the same as width of DataFrame: %s" % row
    return df.append(pd.DataFrame([row], columns=colnames))

你也可以像这样增强DataFrame类:

import pandas as pd
def add_row(self, row):
    self.loc[len(self.index)] = row
pd.DataFrame.add_row = add_row

其他回答

有关有效附加,请参见如何向pandas数据框架添加额外行和使用放大设置。

通过loc/ix在不存在的键索引数据上添加行。例如:

In [1]: se = pd.Series([1,2,3])

In [2]: se
Out[2]:
0    1
1    2
2    3
dtype: int64

In [3]: se[5] = 5.

In [4]: se
Out[4]:
0    1.0
1    2.0
2    3.0
5    5.0
dtype: float64

Or:

In [1]: dfi = pd.DataFrame(np.arange(6).reshape(3,2),
   .....:                 columns=['A','B'])
   .....:

In [2]: dfi
Out[2]:
   A  B
0  0  1
1  2  3
2  4  5

In [3]: dfi.loc[:,'C'] = dfi.loc[:,'A']

In [4]: dfi
Out[4]:
   A  B  C
0  0  1  0
1  2  3  2
2  4  5  4
In [5]: dfi.loc[3] = 5

In [6]: dfi
Out[6]:
   A  B  C
0  0  1  0
1  2  3  2
2  4  5  4
3  5  5  5

您可以使用生成器对象来创建一个Dataframe,这将在列表中更有效地使用内存。

num = 10

# Generator function to generate generator object
def numgen_func(num):
    for i in range(num):
        yield ('name_{}'.format(i), (i*i), (i*i*i))

# Generator expression to generate generator object (Only once data get populated, can not be re used)
numgen_expression = (('name_{}'.format(i), (i*i), (i*i*i)) for i in range(num) )

df = pd.DataFrame(data=numgen_func(num), columns=('lib', 'qty1', 'qty2'))

要向现有的数据帧添加raw,可以使用append方法。

df = df.append([{ 'lib': "name_20", 'qty1': 20, 'qty2': 400  }])

另一种方法(可能不是很有效):

# add a row
def add_row(df, row):
    colnames = list(df.columns)
    ncol = len(colnames)
    assert ncol == len(row), "Length of row must be the same as width of DataFrame: %s" % row
    return df.append(pd.DataFrame([row], columns=colnames))

你也可以像这样增强DataFrame类:

import pandas as pd
def add_row(self, row):
    self.loc[len(self.index)] = row
pd.DataFrame.add_row = add_row

在向dataframe添加大量行的情况下,我对性能感兴趣。所以我尝试了四种最流行的方法,并检查了它们的速度。

性能

使用.append (NPE的答案) 使用。loc (fred的回答) 使用.loc预分配(FooBar的答案) 使用dict并最终创建DataFrame (ShikharDua的回答)

运行时结果(秒):

Approach 1000 rows 5000 rows 10 000 rows
.append 0.69 3.39 6.78
.loc without prealloc 0.74 3.90 8.35
.loc with prealloc 0.24 2.58 8.70
dict 0.012 0.046 0.084

所以我自己用了加法法。


代码:

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import time

del df1, df2, df3, df4
numOfRows = 1000
# append
startTime = time.perf_counter()
df1 = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randint(100, size=(5,5)), columns=['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E'])
for i in range( 1,numOfRows-4):
    df1 = df1.append( dict( (a,np.random.randint(100)) for a in ['A','B','C','D','E']), ignore_index=True)
print('Elapsed time: {:6.3f} seconds for {:d} rows'.format(time.perf_counter() - startTime, numOfRows))
print(df1.shape)

# .loc w/o prealloc
startTime = time.perf_counter()
df2 = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randint(100, size=(5,5)), columns=['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E'])
for i in range( 1,numOfRows):
    df2.loc[i]  = np.random.randint(100, size=(1,5))[0]
print('Elapsed time: {:6.3f} seconds for {:d} rows'.format(time.perf_counter() - startTime, numOfRows))
print(df2.shape)

# .loc with prealloc
df3 = pd.DataFrame(index=np.arange(0, numOfRows), columns=['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E'] )
startTime = time.perf_counter()
for i in range( 1,numOfRows):
    df3.loc[i]  = np.random.randint(100, size=(1,5))[0]
print('Elapsed time: {:6.3f} seconds for {:d} rows'.format(time.perf_counter() - startTime, numOfRows))
print(df3.shape)

# dict
startTime = time.perf_counter()
row_list = []
for i in range (0,5):
    row_list.append(dict( (a,np.random.randint(100)) for a in ['A','B','C','D','E']))
for i in range( 1,numOfRows-4):
    dict1 = dict( (a,np.random.randint(100)) for a in ['A','B','C','D','E'])
    row_list.append(dict1)

df4 = pd.DataFrame(row_list, columns=['A','B','C','D','E'])
print('Elapsed time: {:6.3f} seconds for {:d} rows'.format(time.perf_counter() - startTime, numOfRows))
print(df4.shape)

附注:我相信我的实现并不完美,也许还有一些优化可以做。

如果你的Dataframe中的所有数据都有相同的dtype,你可以使用NumPy数组。您可以直接将行写入预定义数组,并在最后将其转换为数据框架。 它似乎比转换字典列表还要快。

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
from string import ascii_uppercase

startTime = time.perf_counter()
numcols, numrows = 5, 10000
npdf = np.ones((numrows, numcols))
for row in range(numrows):
    npdf[row, 0:] = np.random.randint(0, 100, (1, numcols))
df5 = pd.DataFrame(npdf, columns=list(ascii_uppercase[:numcols]))
print('Elapsed time: {:6.3f} seconds for {:d} rows'.format(time.perf_counter() - startTime, numOfRows))
print(df5.shape)
