pandas Creating DataFrames Create a sample DataFrame using Numpy
Example
Create a DataFrame of random numbers:
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
# Set the seed for a reproducible sample
np.random.seed(0)
df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(5, 3), columns=list('ABC'))
print(df)
# Output:
# A B C
# 0 1.764052 0.400157 0.978738
# 1 2.240893 1.867558 -0.977278
# 2 0.950088 -0.151357 -0.103219
# 3 0.410599 0.144044 1.454274
# 4 0.761038 0.121675 0.443863
Create a DataFrame with integers:
df = pd.DataFrame(np.arange(15).reshape(5,3),columns=list('ABC'))
print(df)
# Output:
# A B C
# 0 0 1 2
# 1 3 4 5
# 2 6 7 8
# 3 9 10 11
# 4 12 13 14
Create a DataFrame and include nans (NaT, NaN, 'nan', None) across columns and rows:
df = pd.DataFrame(np.arange(48).reshape(8,6),columns=list('ABCDEF'))
print(df)
# Output:
# A B C D E F
# 0 0 1 2 3 4 5
# 1 6 7 8 9 10 11
# 2 12 13 14 15 16 17
# 3 18 19 20 21 22 23
# 4 24 25 26 27 28 29
# 5 30 31 32 33 34 35
# 6 36 37 38 39 40 41
# 7 42 43 44 45 46 47
df.ix[::2,0] = np.nan # in column 0, set elements with indices 0,2,4, ... to NaN
df.ix[::4,1] = pd.NaT # in column 1, set elements with indices 0,4, ... to np.NaT
df.ix[:3,2] = 'nan' # in column 2, set elements with index from 0 to 3 to 'nan'
df.ix[:,5] = None # in column 5, set all elements to None
df.ix[5,:] = None # in row 5, set all elements to None
df.ix[7,:] = np.nan # in row 7, set all elements to NaN
print(df)
# Output:
# A B C D E F
# 0 NaN NaT nan 3 4 None
# 1 6 7 nan 9 10 None
# 2 NaN 13 nan 15 16 None
# 3 18 19 nan 21 22 None
# 4 NaN NaT 26 27 28 None
# 5 NaN None None NaN NaN None
# 6 NaN 37 38 39 40 None
# 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN
