Pandas groupby function enables us to do “Split-Apply-Combine” data analysis paradigm easily. Basically, with Pandas groupby, we can split Pandas data frame into smaller groups using one or more variables. Pandas has a number of aggregating functions that reduce the dimension of the grouped object. In this post will examples of using 13 aggregating function […]

How to Implement Pandas Groupby operation with NumPy?
Pandas’ GroupBy function is the bread and butter for many data munging activities. Groupby enables one of the most widely used paradigm “Split-Apply-Combine”, for doing data analysis. Sometimes you will be working NumPy arrays and may still want to perform groupby operations on the array. Just recently wrote a blogpost inspired by Jake’s post on […]
How to Get Top N Rows with in Each Group in Pandas?
In this post we will see how to get top N rows from a data frame such that the top values of a specific variable in each group defined by another variable. Note this is not the same as top N rows according to one variable in the whole dataframe. Let us say we have […]
Pandas GroupBy: Introduction to Split-Apply-Combine
In a classic paper published at 2011, Hadley Wickham asked What do we do when we analyze data? What are common actions and what are common mistakes? And then went ahead to spell it out one of the most common strategies, Split-Apply-Combine, that is used in common data analysis. Intuitively, while solving a big problem, […]
