arcgis.features module

The arcgis.features module contains types and functions for working with features and feature layers in the GIS.

Entities located in space with a geometrical representation (such as points, lines or polygons) and a set of properties can be represented as features. The arcgis.features module is used for working with feature data, feature layers and collections of feature layers in the GIS. It also contains the spatial analysis functions which operate against feature data.

In the GIS, entities located in space with a set of properties can be represented as features. Features are stored as feature classes, which represent a set of features located using a single spatial type (point, line, polygon) and a common set of properties. This is the geographic extension of the classic tabular or relational representation for entities - a set of entities is modelled as rows in a table. Tables represent entity classes with uniform properties. In addition to working with entities with location as features, the system can also work with non-spatial entities as rows in tables. The system can also model relationships between entities using properties which act as primary and foreign keys. A collection of feature classes and tables, with the associated relationships among the entities, is a feature layer collection. FeatureLayerCollections are one of the dataset types contained in a Datastore. Finally, features are not simply entities in a dataset. Features have a visual representation and user experience - on a map, in a 3D scene, as entities with a property sheet or popups.

arcgis.features.FeatureLayer

class arcgis.features.FeatureLayer(url, gis=None, container=None)

The feature layer is the primary concept for working with features in a GIS.

Users create, import, export, analyze, edit, and visualize features, i.e. entities in space as feature layers.

Feature layers can be added to and visualized using maps. They act as inputs to and outputs from feature analysis tools.

Feature layers are created by publishing feature data to a GIS, and are exposed as a broader resource (Item) in the GIS. Feature layer objects can be obtained through the layers attribute on feature layer Items in the GIS.

calculate(where, calc_expression, sql_format=’standard’)

The calculate operation is performed on a feature layer resource. It updates the values of one or more fields in an existing feature service layer based on SQL expressions or scalar values. The calculate operation can only be used if the supportsCalculate property of the layer is true. Neither the Shape field nor system fields can be updated using calculate. System fields include ObjectId and GlobalId. See Calculate a field for more information on supported expressions

Inputs:
where - A where clause can be used to limit the updated records.
Any legal SQL where clause operating on the fields in the layer is allowed.
calcExpression - The array of field/value info objects that

contain the field or fields to update and their scalar values or SQL expression. Allowed types are dictionary and list. List must be a list of dictionary objects. Calculation Format is as follows:

{“field” : “<field name>”, “value” : “<value>”}
sqlFormat - The SQL format for the calcExpression. It can be
either standard SQL92 (standard) or native SQL (native). The default is standard. Values: standard, native
Output:
JSON as string

Usage: >>>print(fl.calculate(where=”OBJECTID < 2”,

the features have M values. Otherwise, M values are not returned. The default is false.
validate_sql(sql, sql_type=’where’)

The validate_sql operation validates an SQL-92 expression or WHERE clause. The validate_sql operation ensures that an SQL-92 expression, such as one written by a user through a user interface, is correct before performing another operation that uses the expression. For example, validateSQL can be used to validate information that is subsequently passed in as part of the where parameter of the calculate operation. validate_sql also prevents SQL injection. In addition, all table and field names used in the SQL expression or WHERE clause are validated to ensure they are valid tables and fields.

Parameters:
sql:

the SQL expression of WHERE clause to validate Example: “Population > 300000”

sql_type:

Three SQL types are supported in validate_sql - where (default) - Represents the custom WHERE clause the user

can compose when querying a layer or using calculate.

  • expression - Represents an SQL-92 expression. Currently, expression is used as a default value expression when adding a new field or using the calculate API.
  • statement - Represents the full SQL-92 statement that can be passed directly to the database. No current ArcGIS REST API resource or operation supports using the full SQL-92 SELECT statement directly. It has been added to the validateSQL for completeness. Values: where | expression | statement

arcgis.features.Table

class arcgis.features.Table(url, gis=None, container=None)

Tables represent entity classes with uniform properties. In addition to working with “entities with location” as features, the GIS can also work with non-spatial entities as rows in tables.

Working with tables is similar to working with feature layers, except that the rows (Features) in a table do not have a geometry, and tables ignore any geometry related operation.

calculate(where, calc_expression, sql_format=’standard’)

The calculate operation is performed on a feature layer resource. It updates the values of one or more fields in an existing feature service layer based on SQL expressions or scalar values. The calculate operation can only be used if the supportsCalculate property of the layer is true. Neither the Shape field nor system fields can be updated using calculate. System fields include ObjectId and GlobalId. See Calculate a field for more information on supported expressions

Inputs:
where - A where clause can be used to limit the updated records.
Any legal SQL where clause operating on the fields in the layer is allowed.

arcgis.features.FeatureLayerCollection

class arcgis.features.FeatureLayerCollection(url, gis=None)

A FeatureLayerCollection is a collection of feature layers and tables, with the associated relationships among the entities.

In a web GIS, a feature layer collection is exposed as a feature service with multiple feature layers.

Instances of FeatureDatasets can be obtained from feature service Items in the GIS using FeatureLayerCollection.fromitem(item), from feature service endpoints using the constructor, or by accessing the dataset attribute of feature layer objects.

FeatureDatasets can be configured and managed using their manager helper object.

If the dataset supports the sync operation, the replicas helper object allows management and synchronization of replicas for disconnected editing of the feature layer collection.

Note: You can use the layers and tables property to get to the individual layers and tables in this feature layer collection.

0  1  2
1  3  4
>>> df2 = pd.DataFrame([[5, 6], [7, 8]], columns=list('AB'))
>>> df.append(df2)
   A  B
0  1  2

apply(func, axis=0, broadcast=False, raw=False, reduce=None, args=(), **kwds)

Applies function along input axis of DataFrame.

Objects passed to functions are Series objects having index either the DataFrame’s index (axis=0) or the columns (axis=1). Return type depends on whether passed function aggregates, or the reduce argument if the DataFrame is empty.

func : function
Function to apply to each column/row
axis : {0 or ‘index’, 1 or ‘columns’}, default 0
  • 0 or ‘index’: apply function to each column
  • 1 or ‘columns’: apply function to each row
broadcast : boolean, default False
For aggregation functions, return object of same size with values propagated
raw : boolean, default False
If False, convert each row or column into a Series. If raw=True the passed function will receive ndarray objects instead. If you are just applying a NumPy reduction function this will achieve much better performance
reduce : boolean or None, default None
Try to apply reduction procedures. If the DataFrame is empty, apply will use reduce to determine whether the result should be a Series or a DataFrame. If reduce is None (the default), apply’s return value will be guessed by calling func an empty Series (note: while guessing, exceptions raised by func will be ignored). If reduce is True a Series will always be returned, and if False a DataFrame will always be returned.
args : tuple
Positional arguments to pass to function in addition to the array/series

Additional keyword arguments will be passed as keywords to the function

In the current implementation apply calls func twice on the first column/row to decide whether it can take a fast or slow code path. This can lead to unexpected behavior if func has side-effects, as they will take effect twice for the first column/row.

>>> df.apply(numpy.sqrt) # returns DataFrame
>>> df.apply(numpy.sum, axis=0) # equiv to df.sum(0)
>>> df.apply(numpy.sum, axis=1) # equiv to df.sum(1)

DataFrame.applymap: For elementwise operations

applied : Series or DataFrame

applymap(func)

func : function
Python function, returns a single value from a single value
>>> df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(3, 3))
>>> df
    0         1          2

as_arcpy

Returns an Esri JSON representation of the geometry as a string.

as_blocks(copy=True)

Convert the frame to a dict of dtype -> Constructor Types that each has a homogeneous dtype.

NOTE: the dtypes of the blocks WILL BE PRESERVED HERE (unlike in
as_matrix)

copy : boolean, default True

values : a dict of dtype -> Constructor Types

as_matrix(columns=None)

Convert the frame to its Numpy-array representation.

columns: list, optional, default:None
If None, return all columns, otherwise, returns specified columns.
values : ndarray
If the caller is heterogeneous and contains booleans or objects, the result will be of dtype=object. See Notes.

Return is NOT a Numpy-matrix, rather, a Numpy-array.

The dtype will be a lower-common-denominator dtype (implicit upcasting); that is to say if the dtypes (even of numeric types) are mixed, the one that accommodates all will be chosen. Use this with care if you are not dealing with the blocks.

e.g. If the dtypes are float16 and float32, dtype will be upcast to float32. If dtypes are int32 and uint8, dtype will be upcase to int32. By numpy.find_common_type convention, mixing int64 and uint64 will result in a flot64 dtype.

This method is provided for backwards compatibility. Generally, it is recommended to use ‘.values’.

pandas.DataFrame.values

asfreq(freq, method=None, how=None, normalize=False)

Convert TimeSeries to specified frequency.

Optionally provide filling method to pad/backfill missing values.

freq : DateOffset object, or string method : {‘backfill’/’bfill’, ‘pad’/’ffill’}, default None

Method to use for filling holes in reindexed Series (note this does not fill NaNs that already were present):

  • ‘pad’ / ‘ffill’: propagate last valid observation forward to next valid
  • ‘backfill’ / ‘bfill’: use NEXT valid observation to fill
how : {‘start’, ‘end’}, default end
For PeriodIndex only, see PeriodIndex.asfreq
normalize : bool, default False
Whether to reset output index to midnight

converted : type of caller

To learn more about the frequency strings, please see this link.

asof(where, subset=None)

The last row without any NaN is taken (or the last row without NaN considering only the subset of columns in the case of a DataFrame)

New in version 0.19.0: For DataFrame

If there is no good value, NaN is returned.

where : date or array of dates subset : string or list of strings, default None

if not None use these columns for NaN propagation

Dates are assumed to be sorted Raises if this is not the case

where is scalar

  • value or NaN if input is Series
  • Series if input is DataFrame

where is Index: same shape object as input

merge_asof

assign(**kwargs)

Assign new columns to a DataFrame, returning a new object (a copy) with all the original columns in addition to the new ones.

New in version 0.16.0.

kwargs : keyword, value pairs
keywords are the column names. If the values are callable, they are computed on the DataFrame and assigned to the new columns. The callable must not change input DataFrame (though pandas doesn’t check it). If the values are not callable, (e.g. a Series, scalar, or array), they are simply assigned.
df : DataFrame
A new DataFrame with the new columns in addition to all the existing columns.

Since kwargs is a dictionary, the order of your arguments may not be preserved. The make things predicatable, the columns are inserted in alphabetical order, at the end of your DataFrame. Assigning multiple columns within the same assign is possible, but you cannot reference other columns created within the same assign call.

>>> df = DataFrame({'A': range(1, 11), 'B': np.random.randn(10)})

Where the value is a callable, evaluated on df:

>>> df.assign(ln_A = lambda x: np.log(x.A))
    A         B      ln_A
0   1  0.426905  0.000000

  • The cutting polyline geometry.
densify(method, distance, deviation)

Creates a new geometry with added vertices

Parameters:
method:
  • The type of densification, DISTANCE, ANGLE, or GEODESIC
distance:
  • The maximum distance between vertices. The actual

distance between vertices will usually be less than the maximum distance as new vertices will be evenly distributed along the original segment. If using a type of DISTANCE or ANGLE, the distance is measured in the units of the geometry’s spatial reference. If using a type of GEODESIC, the distance is measured in meters.

deviation:
  • Densify uses straight lines to approximate curves.

You use deviation to control the accuracy of this approximation. The deviation is the maximum distance between the new segment and the original curve. The smaller its value, the more segments will be required to approximate the curve.

Specify the form of the returned result. Either:

  • None to both (default). The result will include only numeric-typed columns or, if none are, only categorical columns.
  • A list of dtypes or strings to be included/excluded. To select all numeric types use numpy numpy.number. To select categorical objects use type object. See also the select_dtypes documentation. eg. df.describe(include=[‘O’])
  • If include is the string ‘all’, the output column-set will match the input one.

summary: NDFrame of summary statistics

The output DataFrame index depends on the requested dtypes:

For numeric dtypes, it will include: count, mean, std, min, max, and lower, 50, and upper percentiles.

For object dtypes (e.g. timestamps or strings), the index will include the count, unique, most common, and frequency of the most common. Timestamps also include the first and last items.

For mixed dtypes, the index will be the union of the corresponding output types. Non-applicable entries will be filled with NaN. Note that mixed-dtype outputs can only be returned from mixed-dtype inputs and appropriate use of the include/exclude arguments.

If multiple values have the highest count, then the count and most common pair will be arbitrarily chosen from among those with the highest count.

The include, exclude arguments are ignored for Series.

>>> df_empty = pd.DataFrame({'A' : []})
>>> df_empty
Empty DataFrame
Columns: [A]
Index: []
>>> df_empty.empty
True

If we only have NaNs in our DataFrame, it is not considered empty! We will need to drop the NaNs to make the DataFrame empty:

New in version 0.18.0.

kwargs : dict
See the documentation for eval() for complete details on the keyword arguments accepted by query().

ret : ndarray, scalar, or pandas object

pandas.DataFrame.query pandas.DataFrame.assign pandas.eval

ignore_na : boolean, default False
Ignore missing values when calculating weights; specify True to reproduce pre-0.15.0 behavior

a Window sub-classed for the particular operation

>>> df = DataFrame({'B': [0, 1, 2, np.nan, 4]})
     B
0  0.0
1  1.0
2  2.0
3  NaN
4  4.0
>>> df.ewm(com=0.5).mean()
          B
0  0.000000
1  0.750000
2  1.615385
3  1.615385
4  3.670213

Exactly one of center of mass, span, half-life, and alpha must be provided. Allowed values and relationship between the parameters are specified in the parameter descriptions above; see the link at the end of this section for a detailed explanation.

The freq keyword is used to conform time series data to a specified frequency by resampling the data. This is done with the default parameters of resample() (i.e. using the mean).

When adjust is True (default), weighted averages are calculated using weights (1-alpha)**(n-1), (1-alpha)**(n-2), …, 1-alpha, 1.

When adjust is False, weighted averages are calculated recursively as:
weighted_average[0] = arg[0]; weighted_average[i] = (1-alpha)*weighted_average[i-1] + alpha*arg[i].

When ignore_na is False (default), weights are based on absolute positions. For example, the weights of x and y used in calculating the final weighted average of [x, None, y] are (1-alpha)**2 and 1 (if adjust is True), and (1-alpha)**2 and alpha (if adjust is False).

When ignore_na is True (reproducing pre-0.15.0 behavior), weights are based on relative positions. For example, the weights of x and y used in calculating the final weighted average of [x, None, y] are 1-alpha and 1 (if adjust is True), and 1-alpha and alpha (if adjust is False).

More details can be found at http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/computation.html#exponentially-weighted-windows

expanding(min_periods=1, freq=None, center=False, axis=0)

Provides expanding transformations.

New in version 0.18.0.

min_periods : int, default None
Minimum number of observations in window required to have a value (otherwise result is NA).
freq : string or DateOffset object, optional (default None) (DEPRECATED)
Frequency to conform the data to before computing the statistic. Specified as a frequency string or DateOffset object.
center : boolean, default False
Set the labels at the center of the window.

axis : int or string, default 0

a Window sub-classed for the particular operation

>>> df = DataFrame({'B': [0, 1, 2, np.nan, 4]})
     B
0  0.0
1  1.0
2  2.0
3  NaN
4  4.0
>>> df.expanding(2).sum()
     B
0  NaN
1  1.0
2  3.0
3  3.0
4  7.0

By default, the result is set to the right edge of the window. This can be changed to the center of the window by setting center=True.

The freq keyword is used to conform time series data to a specified frequency by resampling the data. This is done with the default parameters of resample() (i.e. using the mean).

Method to use for filling holes in reindexed Series pad / ffill: propagate last valid observation forward to next valid backfill / bfill: use NEXT valid observation to fill gap

axis : {0 or ‘index’, 1 or ‘columns’} inplace : boolean, default False

If True, fill in place. Note: this will modify any other views on this object, (e.g. a no-copy slice for a column in a DataFrame).
limit : int, default None
If method is specified, this is the maximum number of consecutive NaN values to forward/backward fill. In other words, if there is a gap with more than this number of consecutive NaNs, it will only be partially filled. If method is not specified, this is the maximum number of entries along the entire axis where NaNs will be filled.
downcast : dict, default is None

DataFrame.rfloordiv

from_csv(path, header=0, sep=’, , index_col=0, parse_dates=True, encoding=None, tupleize_cols=False, infer_datetime_format=False)

Read CSV file (DISCOURAGED, please use pandas.read_csv() instead).

It is preferable to use the more powerful pandas.read_csv() for most general purposes, but from_csv makes for an easy roundtrip to and from a file (the exact counterpart of to_csv), especially with a DataFrame of time series data.

This method only differs from the preferred pandas.read_csv() in some defaults:

  • index_col is 0 instead of None (take first column as index by default)
  • parse_dates is True instead of False (try parsing the index as datetime by default)

So a pd.DataFrame.from_csv(path) can be replaced by pd.read_csv(path, index_col=0, parse_dates=True).

path : string file path or file handle / StringIO header : int, default 0

Row to use as header (skip prior rows)
sep : string, default ‘,’
Field delimiter
index_col : int or sequence, default 0
Column to use for index. If a sequence is given, a MultiIndex is used. Different default from read_table
parse_dates : boolean, default True
Parse dates. Different default from read_table
tupleize_cols : boolean, default False
write multi_index columns as a list of tuples (if True) or new (expanded format) if False)
infer_datetime_format: boolean, default False
If True and parse_dates is True for a column, try to infer the datetime format based on the first datetime string. If the format can be inferred, there often will be a large parsing speed-up.

iloc

Purely integer-location based indexing for selection by position.

.iloc[] is primarily integer position based (from 0 to length-1 of the axis), but may also be used with a boolean array.

  • An integer, e.g. 5.
  • A list or array of integers, e.g. [4, 3, 0].
  • A slice object with ints, e.g. 1:7.
  • A boolean array.
  • A callable function with one argument (the calling Series, DataFrame or Panel) and that returns valid output for indexing (one of the above)

.iloc will raise IndexError if a requested indexer is out-of-bounds, except slice indexers which allow out-of-bounds indexing (this conforms with python/numpy slice semantics).

method : {‘linear’, ‘time’, ‘index’, ‘values’, ‘nearest’, ‘zero’,
‘slinear’, ‘quadratic’, ‘cubic’, ‘barycentric’, ‘krogh’, ‘polynomial’, ‘spline’, ‘piecewise_polynomial’, ‘from_derivatives’, ‘pchip’, ‘akima’}
  • ‘linear’: ignore the index and treat the values as equally spaced. This is the only method supported on MultiIndexes. default
  • ‘time’: interpolation works on daily and higher resolution data to interpolate given length of interval
  • ‘index’, ‘values’: use the actual numerical values of the index
  • ‘nearest’, ‘zero’, ‘slinear’, ‘quadratic’, ‘cubic’, ‘barycentric’, ‘polynomial’ is passed to scipy.interpolate.interp1d. Both ‘polynomial’ and ‘spline’ require that you also specify an order (int), e.g. df.interpolate(method=’polynomial’, order=4). These use the actual numerical values of the index.
  • ‘krogh’, ‘piecewise_polynomial’, ‘spline’, ‘pchip’ and ‘akima’ are all wrappers around the scipy interpolation methods of similar names. These use the actual numerical values of the index. See the scipy documentation for more on their behavior here # noqa and here # noqa
  • ‘from_derivatives’ refers to BPoly.from_derivatives which replaces ‘piecewise_polynomial’ interpolation method in scipy 0.18

New in version 0.18.1: Added support for the ‘akima’ method Added interpolate method ‘from_derivatives’ which replaces ‘piecewise_polynomial’ in scipy 0.18; backwards-compatible with scipy < 0.18

axis : {0, 1}, default 0
  • 0: fill column-by-column
  • 1: fill row-by-row
limit : int, default None.
Maximum number of consecutive NaNs to fill.
limit_direction : {‘forward’, ‘backward’, ‘both’}, defaults to ‘forward’

If limit is specified, consecutive NaNs will be filled in this direction.

New in version 0.17.0.

inplace : bool, default False
Update the NDFrame in place if possible.
downcast : optional, ‘infer’ or None, defaults to None
Downcast dtypes if possible.

kwargs : keyword arguments to pass on to the interpolating function.

Series or DataFrame of same shape interpolated at the NaNs

reindex, replace, fillna

Filling in NaNs

>>> s = pd.Series([0, 1, np.nan, 3])
>>> s.interpolate()

2    2
3    3
dtype: float64
intersect(second_geometry, dimension)

Constructs a geometry that is the geometric intersection of the two input geometries. Different dimension values can be used to create different shape types. The intersection of two geometries of the same shape type is a geometry containing only the regions of overlap between the original geometries.

Paramters:
second_geometry:
 
  • a second geometry
dimension:
  • The topological dimension (shape type) of the
resulting geometry.

1 -A zero-dimensional geometry (point or multipoint). 2 -A one-dimensional geometry (polyline). 4 -A two-dimensional geometry (polygon).

irow(i, copy=False)

DEPRECATED. Use .iloc[i] instead

is_copy = None
is_empty

Return True for each empty geometry, False for non-empty

is_multipart

True, if the number of parts for the geometry is more than 1

isin(values)

Return boolean DataFrame showing whether each element in the DataFrame is contained in values.

values : iterable, Series, DataFrame or dictionary
The result will only be true at a location if all the labels match. If values is a Series, that’s the index. If values is a dictionary, the keys must be the column names, which must match. If values is a DataFrame, then both the index and column labels must match.

DataFrame of booleans

When values is a list:

>>> df = DataFrame({'A': [1, 2, 3], 'B': ['a', 'b', 'f']})
>>> df.isin([1, 3, 12, 'a'])
       A      B
0   True   True
1  False  False
2   True  False

When values is a dict:

>>> df = DataFrame({'A': [1, 2, 3], 'B': [1, 4, 7]})
>>> df.isin({'A': [1, 3], 'B': [4, 7, 12]})
       A      B
0   True  False  # Note that B didn't match the 1 here.
1  False   True
2   True   True

When values is a Series or DataFrame:

>>> df = DataFrame({'A': [1, 2, 3], 'B': ['a', 'b', 'f']})
>>> other = DataFrame({'A': [1, 3, 3, 2], 'B': ['e', 'f', 'f', 'e']})
>>> df.isin(other)
       A      B
0   True  False
1  False  False  # Column A in `other` has a 3, but not at index 1.
2   True   True
isnull()

Return a boolean same-sized object indicating if the values are null.

notnull : boolean inverse of isnull

items()

Iterator over (column name, Series) pairs.

iterrows : Iterate over DataFrame rows as (index, Series) pairs. itertuples : Iterate over DataFrame rows as namedtuples of the values.

iteritems()

Iterator over (column name, Series) pairs.

iterrows : Iterate over DataFrame rows as (index, Series) pairs. itertuples : Iterate over DataFrame rows as namedtuples of the values.

iterkv(*args, **kwargs)

iteritems alias used to get around 2to3. Deprecated

iterrows()

Iterate over DataFrame rows as (index, Series) pairs.

  1. Because iterrows returns a Series for each row, it does not preserve dtypes across the rows (dtypes are preserved across columns for DataFrames). For example,

    >>> df = pd.DataFrame([[1, 1.5]], columns=['int', 'float'])
    >>> row = next(df.iterrows())[1]
    >>> row
    int      1.0
    float    1.5
    Name: 0, dtype: float64
    >>> print(row['int'].dtype)
    float64
    >>> print(df['int'].dtype)
    int64
    

    To preserve dtypes while iterating over the rows, it is better to use itertuples() which returns namedtuples of the values and which is generally faster than iterrows.

  2. You should never modify something you are iterating over. This is not guaranteed to work in all cases. Depending on the data types, the iterator returns a copy and not a view, and writing to it will have no effect.

it : generator
A generator that iterates over the rows of the frame.

itertuples : Iterate over DataFrame rows as namedtuples of the values. iteritems : Iterate over (column name, Series) pairs.

itertuples(index=True, name=’Pandas’)

Iterate over DataFrame rows as namedtuples, with index value as first element of the tuple.

index : boolean, default True
If True, return the index as the first element of the tuple.
name : string, default “Pandas”
The name of the returned namedtuples or None to return regular tuples.

The column names will be renamed to positional names if they are invalid Python identifiers, repeated, or start with an underscore. With a large number of columns (>255), regular tuples are returned.

iterrows : Iterate over DataFrame rows as (index, Series) pairs. iteritems : Iterate over (column name, Series) pairs.

>>> df = pd.DataFrame({'col1': [1, 2], 'col2': [0.1, 0.2]},
                      index=['a', 'b'])
>>> df
   col1  col2
a     1   0.1
b     2   0.2
>>> for row in df.itertuples():
...     print(row)
...
Pandas(Index='a', col1=1, col2=0.10000000000000001)
Pandas(Index='b', col1=2, col2=0.20000000000000001)
ix

A primarily label-location based indexer, with integer position fallback.

.ix[] supports mixed integer and label based access. It is primarily label based, but will fall back to integer positional access unless the corresponding axis is of integer type.

.ix is the most general indexer and will support any of the inputs in .loc and .iloc. .ix also supports floating point label schemes. .ix is exceptionally useful when dealing with mixed positional and label based hierachical indexes.

However, when an axis is integer based, ONLY label based access and not positional access is supported. Thus, in such cases, it’s usually better to be explicit and use .iloc or .loc.

See more at Advanced Indexing.

join(other, on=None, how=’left’, lsuffix=”, rsuffix=”, sort=False)

Join columns with other DataFrame either on index or on a key column. Efficiently Join multiple DataFrame objects by index at once by passing a list.

other : DataFrame, Series with name field set, or list of DataFrame
Index should be similar to one of the columns in this one. If a Series is passed, its name attribute must be set, and that will be used as the column name in the resulting joined DataFrame
on : column name, tuple/list of column names, or array-like
Column(s) in the caller to join on the index in other, otherwise joins index-on-index. If multiples columns given, the passed DataFrame must have a MultiIndex. Can pass an array as the join key if not already contained in the calling DataFrame. Like an Excel VLOOKUP operation
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 frame’s index
  • outer: form union of calling frame’s index (or column if on is
    specified) with other frame’s index
  • inner: form intersection of calling frame’s index (or column if
    on is specified) with other frame’s index
lsuffix : string
Suffix to use from left frame’s overlapping columns
rsuffix : string
Suffix to use from right frame’s overlapping columns
sort : boolean, default False
Order result DataFrame lexicographically by the join key. If False, preserves the index order of the calling (left) DataFrame

on, lsuffix, and rsuffix options are not supported when passing a list of DataFrame objects

>>> caller = pd.DataFrame({'key': ['K0', 'K1', 'K2', 'K3', 'K4', 'K5'],
...                        'A': ['A0', 'A1', 'A2', 'A3', 'A4', 'A5']})
>>> caller
    A key
0  A0  K0
1  A1  K1
2  A2  K2
3  A3  K3
4  A4  K4
5  A5  K5
>>> other = pd.DataFrame({'key': ['K0', 'K1', 'K2'],
...                       'B': ['B0', 'B1', 'B2']})
>>> other
    B key
0  B0  K0
1  B1  K1
2  B2  K2

Join DataFrames using their indexes.

>>> caller.join(other, lsuffix='_caller', rsuffix='_other')
>>>     A key_caller    B key_other
    0  A0         K0   B0        K0
    1  A1         K1   B1        K1
    2  A2         K2   B2        K2
    3  A3         K3  NaN       NaN
    4  A4         K4  NaN       NaN
    5  A5         K5  NaN       NaN

If we want to join using the key columns, we need to set key to be the index in both caller and other. The joined DataFrame will have key as its index.

>>> caller.set_index('key').join(other.set_index('key'))
>>>      A    B
    key
    K0   A0   B0
    K1   A1   B1
    K2   A2   B2
    K3   A3  NaN
    K4   A4  NaN
    K5   A5  NaN

Another option to join using the key columns is to use the on parameter. DataFrame.join always uses other’s index but we can use any column in the caller. This method preserves the original caller’s index in the result.

>>> caller.join(other.set_index('key'), on='key')
>>>     A key    B
    0  A0  K0   B0
    1  A1  K1   B1
    2  A2  K2   B2
    3  A3  K3  NaN
    4  A4  K4  NaN
    5  A5  K5  NaN

length3D

The 3D length of the linear feature. Zero for point and multipoint feature types.

loc

Purely label-location based indexer for selection by label.

.loc[] is primarily label based, but may also be used with a boolean array.

Allowed inputs are:

  • A single label, e.g. 5 or 'a', (note that 5 is interpreted as a label of the index, and never as an integer position along the index).
  • A list or array of labels, e.g. ['a', 'b', 'c'].
  • A slice object with labels, e.g. 'a':'f' (note that contrary to usual python slices, both the start and the stop are included!).
  • A boolean array.
  • A callable function with one argument (the calling Series, DataFrame or Panel) and that returns valid output for indexing (one of the above)

.loc will raise a KeyError when the items are not found.

See more at Selection by Label

lookup(row_labels, col_labels)

cond : boolean NDFrame, array or callable

If cond is callable, it is computed on the NDFrame and should return boolean NDFrame or array. The callable must not change input NDFrame (though pandas doesn’t check it).

New in version 0.18.1.

A callable can be used as cond.

other : scalar, NDFrame, or callable

If other is callable, it is computed on the NDFrame and should return scalar or NDFrame. The callable must not change input NDFrame (though pandas doesn’t check it).

wh : same type as caller

The mask method is an application of the if-then idiom. For each element in the calling DataFrame, if cond is False the element is used; otherwise the corresponding element from the DataFrame other is used.

The signature for DataFrame.where() differs from numpy.where(). Roughly df1.where(m, df2) is equivalent to np.where(m, df1, df2).

For further details and examples see the mask documentation in indexing.

>>> s = pd.Series(range(5))

1    1.0
2    2.0
3    3.0

merge(right, how=’inner’, on=None, left_on=None, right_on=None, left_index=False, right_index=False, sort=False, suffixes=(‘_x’, ’_y’), copy=True, indicator=False)

Merge DataFrame objects by performing a database-style join operation by columns or indexes.

If joining columns on columns, the DataFrame indexes will be ignored. Otherwise if joining indexes on indexes or indexes on a column or columns, the index will be passed on.

right : DataFrame how : {‘left’, ‘right’, ‘outer’, ‘inner’}, default ‘inner’

  • left: use only keys from left frame (SQL: left outer join)
  • right: use only keys from right frame (SQL: right outer join)
  • outer: use union of keys from both frames (SQL: full outer join)
  • inner: use intersection of keys from both frames (SQL: inner join)
on : label or list
Field names to join on. Must be found in both DataFrames. If on is None and not merging on indexes, then it merges on the intersection of the columns by default.
left_on : label or list, or array-like
Field names to join on in left DataFrame. Can be a vector or list of vectors of the length of the DataFrame to use a particular vector as the join key instead of columns
right_on : label or list, or array-like
Field names to join on in right DataFrame or vector/list of vectors per left_on docs
left_index : boolean, default False
Use the index from the left DataFrame as the join key(s). If it is a MultiIndex, the number of keys in the other DataFrame (either the index or a number of columns) must match the number of levels
right_index : boolean, default False
Use the index from the right DataFrame as the join key. Same caveats as left_index
sort : boolean, default False
Sort the join keys lexicographically in the result DataFrame
suffixes : 2-length sequence (tuple, list, …)
Suffix to apply to overlapping column names in the left and right side, respectively
copy : boolean, default True
If False, do not copy data unnecessarily
indicator : boolean or string, default False

If True, adds a column to output DataFrame called “_merge” with information on the source of each row. If string, column with information on source of each row will be added to output DataFrame, and column will be named value of string. Information column is Categorical-type and takes on a value of “left_only” for observations whose merge key only appears in ‘left’ DataFrame, “right_only” for observations whose merge key only appears in ‘right’ DataFrame, and “both” if the observation’s merge key is found in both.

New in version 0.17.0.

merge_ordered merge_asof

merge_datasets(other)

This operation combines two dataframes into one new DataFrame. If the operation is combining two SpatialDataFrames, the geometry_type must match.

min(axis=None, skipna=None, level=None, numeric_only=None, **kwargs)
This method returns the minimum of the values in the object.
If you want the index of the minimum, use idxmin. This is the equivalent of the numpy.ndarray method argmin.

axis : {index (0), columns (1)} skipna : boolean, default True

Exclude NA/null values. If an entire row/column is NA, the result will be NA
level : int or level name, default None
If the axis is a MultiIndex (hierarchical), count along a particular level, collapsing into a Series
numeric_only : boolean, default None
Include only float, int, boolean columns. If None, will attempt to use everything, then use only numeric data. Not implemented for Series.

min : Series or DataFrame (if level specified)

mod(other, axis=’columns’, level=None, fill_value=None)

Modulo of dataframe and other, element-wise (binary operator mod).

Equivalent to dataframe % other, but with support to substitute a fill_value for missing data in one of the inputs.

other : Series, DataFrame, or constant axis : {0, 1, ‘index’, ‘columns’}

For Series input, axis to match Series index on
fill_value : None or float value, default None
Fill missing (NaN) values with this value. If both DataFrame locations are missing, the result will be missing
level : int or name
Broadcast across a level, matching Index values on the passed MultiIndex level

Mismatched indices will be unioned together

result : DataFrame

DataFrame.rmod

mode(axis=0, numeric_only=False)

Gets the mode(s) of each element along the axis selected. Empty if nothing has 2+ occurrences. Adds a row for each mode per label, fills in gaps with nan.

Note that there could be multiple values returned for the selected axis (when more than one item share the maximum frequency), which is the reason why a dataframe is returned. If you want to impute missing values with the mode in a dataframe df, you can just do this: df.fillna(df.mode().iloc[0])

axis : {0 or ‘index’, 1 or ‘columns’}, default 0
  • 0 or ‘index’ : get mode of each column
  • 1 or ‘columns’ : get mode of each row
numeric_only : boolean, default False
if True, only apply to numeric columns

modes : DataFrame (sorted)

>>> df = pd.DataFrame({'A': [1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3]})
>>> df.mode()
   A
0  1
1  2
mul(other, axis=’columns’, level=None, fill_value=None)

Multiplication of dataframe and other, element-wise (binary operator mul).

Equivalent to dataframe * other, but with support to substitute a fill_value for missing data in one of the inputs.

other : Series, DataFrame, or constant axis : {0, 1, ‘index’, ‘columns’}

For Series input, axis to match Series index on
fill_value : None or float value, default None
Fill missing (NaN) values with this value. If both DataFrame locations are missing, the result will be missing
level : int or name
Broadcast across a level, matching Index values on the passed MultiIndex level

Mismatched indices will be unioned together

result : DataFrame

object : the return type of func.

Use .pipe when chaining together functions that expect on Series or DataFrames. Instead of writing

>>> f(g(h(df), arg1=a), arg2=b, arg3=c)

You can write

>>> (df.pipe(h)
...    .pipe(g, arg1=a)
...    .pipe(f, arg2=b, arg3=c)
... )

If you have a function that takes the data as (say) the second argument, pass a tuple indicating which keyword expects the data. For example, suppose f takes its data as arg2:

>>> (df.pipe(h)
...    .pipe(g, arg1=a)
...    .pipe((f, 'arg2'), arg1=a, arg3=c)
...  )

  • The angle in degrees to the returned point.
distance:
  • The distance in meters to the returned point.
method:

quantile(q=0.5, axis=0, numeric_only=True, interpolation=’linear’)

Return values at the given quantile over requested axis, a la numpy.percentile.

q : float or array-like, default 0.5 (50% quantile)
0 <= q <= 1, the quantile(s) to compute
axis : {0, 1, ‘index’, ‘columns’} (default 0)
0 or ‘index’ for row-wise, 1 or ‘columns’ for column-wise

New in version 0.18.0.

This optional parameter specifies the interpolation method to use, when the desired quantile lies between two data points i and j:

  • linear: i + (j - i) * fraction, where fraction is the fractional part of the index surrounded by i and j.
  • lower: i.
  • higher: j.
  • nearest: i or j whichever is nearest.
  • midpoint: (i + j) / 2.

query(expr, inplace=False, **kwargs)

Query the columns of a frame with a boolean expression.

New in version 0.13.

expr : string
The query string to evaluate. You can refer to variables in the environment by prefixing them with an ‘@’ character like @a + b.
inplace : bool

Whether the query should modify the data in place or return a modified copy

New in version 0.18.0.

kwargs : dict
See the documentation for pandas.eval() for complete details on the keyword arguments accepted by DataFrame.query().

q : DataFrame

The result of the evaluation of this expression is first passed to DataFrame.loc and if that fails because of a multidimensional key (e.g., a DataFrame) then the result will be passed to DataFrame.__getitem__().

This method uses the top-level pandas.eval() function to evaluate the passed query.

The query() method uses a slightly modified Python syntax by default. For example, the & and | (bitwise) operators have the precedence of their boolean cousins, and and or. This is syntactically valid Python, however the semantics are different.

You can change the semantics of the expression by passing the keyword argument parser='python'. This enforces the same semantics as evaluation in Python space. Likewise, you can pass engine='python' to evaluate an expression using Python itself as a backend. This is not recommended as it is inefficient compared to using numexpr as the engine.

The DataFrame.index and DataFrame.columns attributes of the DataFrame instance are placed in the query namespace by default, which allows you to treat both the index and columns of the frame as a column in the frame. The identifier index is used for the frame index; you can also use the name of the index to identify it in a query.

For further details and examples see the query documentation in indexing.

pandas.eval DataFrame.eval

>>> from numpy.random import randn
>>> from pandas import DataFrame
>>> df = DataFrame(randn(10, 2), columns=list('ab'))
>>> df.query('a > b')
>>> df[df.a > df.b]  # same result as the previous expression
query_point_and_distance(second_geometry, use_percentage=False)

Paramters:
second_geometry:
 
  • a second geometry
as_percentage:
  • if False, the measure will be returned as

distance, True, measure will be a percentage

New in version 0.17.0.

Create a dataframe with some fictional data.

>>> index = ['Firefox', 'Chrome', 'Safari', 'IE10', 'Konqueror']
>>> df = pd.DataFrame({
...      'http_status': [200,200,404,404,301],
...      'response_time': [0.04, 0.02, 0.07, 0.08, 1.0]},
...       index=index)
>>> df
            http_status  response_time
Firefox            200           0.04
Chrome             200           0.02
Safari             404           0.07
IE10               404           0.08
Konqueror          301           1.00

Create a new index and reindex the dataframe. By default values in the new index that do not have corresponding records in the dataframe are assigned NaN.

>>> new_index= ['Safari', 'Iceweasel', 'Comodo Dragon', 'IE10',
...             'Chrome']
>>> df.reindex(new_index)
               http_status  response_time
Safari                 404           0.07
Iceweasel              NaN            NaN
Comodo Dragon          NaN            NaN
IE10                   404           0.08
Chrome                 200           0.02

We can fill in the missing values by passing a value to the keyword fill_value. Because the index is not monotonically increasing or decreasing, we cannot use arguments to the keyword method to fill the NaN values.

>>> df.reindex(new_index, fill_value=0)
               http_status  response_time
Safari                 404           0.07
Iceweasel                0           0.00
Comodo Dragon            0           0.00
IE10                   404           0.08
Chrome                 200           0.02
>>> df.reindex(new_index, fill_value='missing')
              http_status response_time
Safari                404          0.07
Iceweasel         missing       missing
Comodo Dragon     missing       missing
IE10                  404          0.08
Chrome                200          0.02

To further illustrate the filling functionality in reindex, we will create a dataframe with a monotonically increasing index (for example, a sequence of dates).

>>> date_index = pd.date_range('1/1/2010', periods=6, freq='D')
>>> df2 = pd.DataFrame({"prices": [100, 101, np.nan, 100, 89, 88]},
...                    index=date_index)
>>> df2
            prices
2010-01-01     100
2010-01-02     101
2010-01-03     NaN
2010-01-04     100
2010-01-05      89
2010-01-06      88

Suppose we decide to expand the dataframe to cover a wider date range.

>>> date_index2 = pd.date_range('12/29/2009', periods=10, freq='D')
>>> df2.reindex(date_index2)
            prices
2009-12-29     NaN
2009-12-30     NaN
2009-12-31     NaN
2010-01-01     100
2010-01-02     101
2010-01-03     NaN
2010-01-04     100
2010-01-05      89
2010-01-06      88
2010-01-07     NaN

The index entries that did not have a value in the original data frame (for example, ‘2009-12-29’) are by default filled with NaN. If desired, we can fill in the missing values using one of several options.

For example, to backpropagate the last valid value to fill the NaN values, pass bfill as an argument to the method keyword.

>>> df2.reindex(date_index2, method='bfill')
            prices
2009-12-29     100
2009-12-30     100
2009-12-31     100
2010-01-01     100
2010-01-02     101
2010-01-03     NaN
2010-01-04     100
2010-01-05      89
2010-01-06      88
2010-01-07     NaN

Please note that the NaN value present in the original dataframe (at index value 2010-01-03) will not be filled by any of the value propagation schemes. This is because filling while reindexing does not look at dataframe values, but only compares the original and desired indexes. If you do want to fill in the NaN values present in the original dataframe, use the fillna() method.

reindexed : DataFrame

reindex_axis(labels, axis=0, method=None, level=None, copy=True, limit=None, fill_value=nan)

type of caller (new object)

replace(to_replace=None, value=None, inplace=False, limit=None, regex=False, method=’pad’, axis=None)

Replace values given in ‘to_replace’ with ‘value’.

to_replace : str, regex, list, dict, Series, numeric, or None

  • str or regex:

    • str: string exactly matching to_replace will be replaced with value
    • regex: regexs matching to_replace will be replaced with value
  • 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 and regex rules apply as above.
  • dict:

    • Nested dictionaries, e.g., {‘a’: {‘b’: nan}}, are read as follows: look in column ‘a’ for the value ‘b’ and replace it with nan. You can nest regular expressions as well. Note that column names (the top-level dictionary keys in a nested dictionary) cannot be regular expressions.
    • Keys map to column names and values map to substitution values. You can treat this as a special case of passing two lists except that you are specifying the column to search in.
  • None:

    • This means that the regex argument must be a string, compiled regular expression, or list, dict, ndarray or Series of such elements. If value is also None then this must be a nested dictionary or Series.

See the examples section for examples of each of these.

value : scalar, dict, list, str, regex, default None
Value to use to fill holes (e.g. 0), alternately a dict of values specifying 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.
inplace : boolean, default False
If True, in place. Note: this will modify any other views on this object (e.g. a column form a DataFrame). Returns the caller if this is True.
limit : int, default None
Maximum size gap to forward or backward fill
regex : bool or same types as to_replace, default False
Whether to interpret to_replace and/or value as regular expressions. If this is True then to_replace must be a string. Otherwise, to_replace must be None because this parameter will be interpreted as a regular expression or a list, dict, or array of regular expressions.
method : string, optional, {‘pad’, ‘ffill’, ‘bfill’}
The method to use when for replacement, when to_replace is a list.

NDFrame.reindex NDFrame.asfreq NDFrame.fillna

filled : NDFrame

AssertionError
  • If regex is not a bool and to_replace is not None.
TypeError
  • If to_replace is a dict and value is not a list, dict, ndarray, or Series
  • If to_replace is None and regex is not compilable into a regular expression or is a list, dict, ndarray, or Series.
ValueError
  • If to_replace and value are list s or ndarray s, but they are not the same length.
  • Regex substitution is performed under the hood with re.sub. The rules for substitution for re.sub are the same.
  • Regular expressions will only substitute on strings, meaning you cannot provide, for example, a regular expression matching floating point numbers and expect the columns in your frame that have a numeric dtype to be matched. However, if those floating point numbers are strings, then you can do this.
  • This method has a lot of options. You are encouraged to experiment and play with this method to gain intuition about how it works.
reproject(spatial_reference, transformation=None, inplace=False)

Reprojects a given dataframe into a new coordinate system.

resample(rule, how=None, axis=0, fill_method=None, closed=None, label=None, convention=’start’, kind=None, loffset=None, limit=None, base=0, on=None, level=None)

Convenience method for frequency conversion and resampling of time series. Object must have a datetime-like index (DatetimeIndex, PeriodIndex, or TimedeltaIndex), or pass datetime-like values to the on or level keyword.

rule : string
the offset string or object representing target conversion

axis : int, optional, default 0 closed : {‘right’, ‘left’}

Which side of bin interval is closed
label : {‘right’, ‘left’}
Which bin edge label to label bucket with

convention : {‘start’, ‘end’, ‘s’, ‘e’} loffset : timedelta

Adjust the resampled time labels
base : int, default 0
For frequencies that evenly subdivide 1 day, the “origin” of the aggregated intervals. For example, for ‘5min’ frequency, base could range from 0 through 4. Defaults to 0
on : string, optional

For a DataFrame, column to use instead of index for resampling. Column must be datetime-like.

New in version 0.19.0.

Start by creating a series with 9 one minute timestamps.

>>> index = pd.date_range('1/1/2000', periods=9, freq='T')
>>> series = pd.Series(range(9), index=index)
>>> series
2000-01-01 00:00:00    0
2000-01-01 00:01:00    1
2000-01-01 00:02:00    2
2000-01-01 00:03:00    3
2000-01-01 00:04:00    4
2000-01-01 00:05:00    5
2000-01-01 00:06:00    6
2000-01-01 00:07:00    7
2000-01-01 00:08:00    8
Freq: T, dtype: int64

Downsample the series into 3 minute bins and sum the values of the timestamps falling into a bin.

>>> series.resample('3T').sum()
2000-01-01 00:00:00     3
2000-01-01 00:03:00    12
2000-01-01 00:06:00    21
Freq: 3T, dtype: int64

Downsample the series into 3 minute bins as above, but label each bin using the right edge instead of the left. Please note that the value in the bucket used as the label is not included in the bucket, which it labels. For example, in the original series the bucket 2000-01-01 00:03:00 contains the value 3, but the summed value in the resampled bucket with the label“2000-01-01 00:03:00“ does not include 3 (if it did, the summed value would be 6, not 3). To include this value close the right side of the bin interval as illustrated in the example below this one.

>>> series.resample('3T', label='right').sum()
2000-01-01 00:03:00     3
2000-01-01 00:06:00    12
2000-01-01 00:09:00    21
Freq: 3T, dtype: int64

Downsample the series into 3 minute bins as above, but close the right side of the bin interval.

2000-01-01 00:02:00     2
Freq: 30S, dtype: float64

Upsample the series into 30 second bins and fill the NaN values using the pad method.

>>> series.resample('30S').pad()[0:5]
2000-01-01 00:00:00    0
2000-01-01 00:00:30    0

rolling(window, min_periods=None, freq=None, center=False, win_type=None, on=None, axis=0)

Provides rolling window calculcations.

New in version 0.18.0.

window : int, or offset

Size of the moving window. This is the number of observations used for calculating the statistic. Each window will be a fixed size.

If its an offset then this will be the time period of each window. Each window will be a variable sized based on the observations included in the time-period. This is only valid for datetimelike indexes. This is new in 0.19.0

min_periods : int, default None
Minimum number of observations in window required to have a value (otherwise result is NA). For a window that is specified by an offset, this will default to 1.
freq : string or DateOffset object, optional (default None) (DEPRECATED)
Frequency to conform the data to before computing the statistic. Specified as a frequency string or DateOffset object.
center : boolean, default False
Set the labels at the center of the window.

2013-01-01 09:00:06  4.0

By default, the result is set to the right edge of the window. This can be changed to the center of the window by setting center=True.

The freq keyword is used to conform time series data to a specified frequency by resampling the data. This is done with the default parameters of resample() (i.e. using the mean).

Can choose to replace values other than NA. Return True for values that should be updated
raise_conflict : boolean
If True, will raise an error if the DataFrame and other both contain data in the same place.
values

Numpy representation of NDFrame

The dtype will be a lower-common-denominator dtype (implicit upcasting); that is to say if the dtypes (even of numeric types) are mixed, the one that accommodates all will be chosen. Use this with care if you are not dealing with the blocks.

e.g. If the dtypes are float16 and float32, dtype will be upcast to float32. If dtypes are int32 and uint8, dtype will be upcast to int32. By numpy.find_common_type convention, mixing int64 and uint64 will result in a flot64 dtype.

var(axis=None, skipna=None, level=None, ddof=1, numeric_only=None, **kwargs)

Return unbiased variance over requested axis.

Normalized by N-1 by default. This can be changed using the ddof argument

axis : {index (0), columns (1)} skipna : boolean, default True

Exclude NA/null values. If an entire row/column is NA, the result will be NA
level : int or level name, default None
If the axis is a MultiIndex (hierarchical), count along a particular level, collapsing into a Series
ddof : int, default 1
degrees of freedom
numeric_only : boolean, default None
Include only float, int, boolean columns. If None, will attempt to use everything, then use only numeric data. Not implemented for Series.

where(cond, other=nan, inplace=False, axis=None, level=None, try_cast=False, raise_on_error=True)

Return an object of same shape as self and whose corresponding entries are from self where cond is True and otherwise are from other.

cond : boolean NDFrame, array or callable

If cond is callable, it is computed on the NDFrame and should return boolean NDFrame or array. The callable must not change input NDFrame (though pandas doesn’t check it).

New in version 0.18.1.

A callable can be used as cond.

other : scalar, NDFrame, or callable

If other is callable, it is computed on the NDFrame and should return scalar or NDFrame. The callable must not change input NDFrame (though pandas doesn’t check it).

New in version 0.18.1.

A callable can be used as other.

inplace : boolean, default False
Whether to perform the operation in place on the data

axis : alignment axis if needed, default None level : alignment level if needed, default None try_cast : boolean, default False

try to cast the result back to the input type (if possible),
raise_on_error : boolean, default True
Whether to raise on invalid data types (e.g. trying to where on strings)

wh : same type as caller

The where method is an application of the if-then idiom. For each element in the calling DataFrame, if cond is True the element is used; otherwise the corresponding element from the DataFrame other is used.

The signature for DataFrame.where() differs from numpy.where(). Roughly df1.where(m, df2) is equivalent to np.where(m, df1, df2).

For further details and examples see the where documentation in indexing.
