Groupby — pretty simple concept. We can create a group of categories and apply the function to the categories. It is a simple concept, but it is an extremely valuable technique that is widely used in data science. In real-world data science projects, you will be dealing with large amounts of data and trying to do things repeatedly, so for efficiency we use the Groupby concept. The Groupby concept is really important because it is able to combine data efficiently, both in terms of performance and the amount of code. Grouping mainly refers to a process involving one or more of the following steps:
- Separation: is a process in which we divide data into groups by applying some conditions to datasets .
- Application: is a process in which we apply a function to each group independently
- Consolidation: is a process in which we combine different datasets after applying grouping and results into a data structure
The following image will help you understand the process involved in the Groupby concept.
1. Group the unique values ‚Äã‚Äãfrom the "Team" column.
2. There is now a bucket for each group
3. Throw other data into buckets
4. Apply the function to the weight column for each bucket.
Dividing data into groups
Splitting — it is a process in which we divide the data into groups by applying some conditions to the datasets. To separate data, we apply certain conditions to datasets. To separate data, we use groupby ()
this function is used to divide data into groups according to some criteria. Pandas objects can be subdivided into any of their axes. An abstract definition of grouping is to provide a mapping of labels to group names. Pandas datasets can be split into any objects. There are several ways to split data, for example:
Note: here we refer to grouping objects as keys.
Grouping data with one key:
To group data with one key, we only pass one key as an argument to the groupby
function.
|
|
Output:
Now we print the first records in all formed groups .
|
Output:
Grouping data with multiple keys:
To group data with multiple keys, we transmit multiple keys in groupby
function.
|
Now we will group the Name and Qualification data together using multiple keys in groupby
function work.
|
Output:
Grouping data by key sorting:
Group keys are sorted by default during bulk operation. User can pass sort = False
for possible speedups.
|
Now we are applying groupby ()
no sorting
|
Output:
Now we use groupby ()
using sort to achieve potential speedup.
|
Output:
Grouping data with object attributes:
The groups attribute is similar to a dictionary, the keys of which are calculated unique groups, and the corresponding values ‚Äã‚Äãare the axis labels, belong to each group.
|
Now we group the data like we do in a dictionary using keys.
|
Output:
Iterating over the groups
To iterate over the groups item, we can iterate over an object similar to iterto.ols .
|
We now repeat the group element just like we do in itertools.obj.
|
Output:
Now we iterate over a group element containing multiple keys
|
Output:
As shown in the output, the group name will be a tuple
Group selection
To select a group, we can select a group using GroupBy.get_group ()
. We can select a group by applying the function GroupBy.get_group
this function will select one group.
|
Output:
As shown in the output, the group name will be a tuple
Group selection
To select a group, we can select a group using GroupBy.get_group ()
. We can select a group by applying the GroupBy.get_group
function this function will select one group.
