Question

I have a dataframe which looks like the following:

 START_TIME   END_TIME     TRIAL_No        itemnr
 2403950      2413067      Trial: 1        P14
 2413378      2422499      Trial: 2        P03
 2422814      2431931      Trial: 3        P13
 2432246      2441363      Trial: 4        P02
 2523540      2541257      Trial: 5        P11
 2541864      2560297      Trial: 6        P10
 2560916      2577249      Trial: 7        P05

The table goes on and on like that. The START_TIME and END_TIME are all in milliseconds which are the start and end time of a trial. So what I want to do is, I want to resample the START_TIME into 100milliseconds bin itme and interpolate the variables (TRIAL_No and itemnr) between each START_TIME and END_TIME. Outside of these regions, these variables should have the value "NA". For example, for the first row the START_TIME is 2403950 and the END_TIME is 2413067. The difference between them is 9117 milliseconds. So "Trial: 1" stays for 9117msecs which is for aroud 91 bin times since each bin time is 100msec apart. So I want to repeat "Trial_1" and "P14" 91 times in the resulting dataframe. The same goes for the rest. Looks like the following:

Bin_time     TRIAL_No    itemnr
2403950      Trial: 1    P14
2404050      Trial: 1    P14
2404150      Trial: 1    P14
            ...
2413050      Trial: 1    P14
2413150      Trial: 2    P03
2413250      Trial: 2    P03

and so on. I am not sure if it is possible directly in pandas or some preprocessing is needed.

After creating new dataframe by concat dataframes I can group it by row and apply resample on each of these groups (with method ffill to forward fill).

print df
#   START_TIME  END_TIME  TRIAL_No itemnr
#0     2403950   2413067  Trial: 1    P14
#1     2413378   2422499  Trial: 2    P03
#2     2422814   2431931  Trial: 3    P13
#3     2432246   2441363  Trial: 4    P02
#4     2523540   2541257  Trial: 5    P11
#5     2541864   2560297  Trial: 6    P10
#6     2560916   2577249  Trial: 7    P05

#PREDPROCESSING
#helper column for matching start and end rows
df['row'] = range(len(df))

#reshape to df - every row two times repeated for each date of START_TIME and END_TIME
starts = df[['START_TIME','TRIAL_No','itemnr','row']].rename(columns={'START_TIME':'Bin_time'})
ends = df[['END_TIME','TRIAL_No','itemnr','row']].rename(columns={'END_TIME':'Bin_time'})
df = pd.concat([starts, ends])
df = df.set_index('row', drop=True)
df = df.sort_index()

#convert miliseconds to timedelta for resampling by time 100ms
df['Bin_time'] = df['Bin_time'].astype('timedelta64[ms]')

print df
#           Bin_time  TRIAL_No itemnr
#row                                 
#0   00:40:03.950000  Trial: 1    P14
#0   00:40:13.067000  Trial: 1    P14
#1   00:40:13.378000  Trial: 2    P03
#1   00:40:22.499000  Trial: 2    P03
#2   00:40:22.814000  Trial: 3    P13
#2   00:40:31.931000  Trial: 3    P13
#3   00:40:32.246000  Trial: 4    P02
#3   00:40:41.363000  Trial: 4    P02
#4   00:42:03.540000  Trial: 5    P11
#4   00:42:21.257000  Trial: 5    P11
#5   00:42:21.864000  Trial: 6    P10
#5   00:42:40.297000  Trial: 6    P10
#6   00:42:40.916000  Trial: 7    P05
#6   00:42:57.249000  Trial: 7    P05

print df.dtypes
#Bin_time    timedelta64[ms]
#TRIAL_No             object
#itemnr               object
#dtype: object

#resample and fill missing data 
df = df.groupby(df.index).apply(lambda x: x.set_index('Bin_time').resample('100ms',how='first',fill_method='ffill'))

df = df.reset_index()
df = df.drop(['row'], axis=1)

#convert timedelta to integer back
df['Bin_time'] = (df['Bin_time'] / np.timedelta64(1, 'ms')).astype(int)

print df.head()
#  Bin_time  TRIAL_No itemnr
#0  2403950  Trial: 1    P14
#1  2404050  Trial: 1    P14
#2  2404150  Trial: 1    P14
#3  2404250  Trial: 1    P14
#4  2404350  Trial: 1    P14

EDIT:

If you want get NaN outside of groups, you can change code after groupby :

#resample and fill missing data 
df = df.groupby(df.index).apply(lambda x: x.set_index('Bin_time').resample('100ms', how='first',fill_method='ffill'))

#reset only first level - drop index row
df = df.reset_index(level=0, drop=True)
#resample by 100ms, outside are NaN
df = df.resample('100ms', how='first')
df = df.reset_index()
#convert timedelta to integer back
df['Bin_time'] = (df['Bin_time'] / np.timedelta64(1, 'ms')).astype(int)

print df
