pandas dataframe 组有条件

Question

I have a 3D dataframe with x and y and time as 3rd dimension. The data are 5 indizes of satellite images that were taken at different times. The x and y describes every pixel.

                        2018-06-29  3.334456    7.0

I need to group the data and as new column I need the value from column 'classif_rf', which is most frequent in 5 datasets. The values are integers between 1 and 10. I want to add an condition which add only frequency higher than 3.

 x          y           classif
7.620001 -77.849990     2.0
         -77.849899     8.0
         -77.849809     Na
         -77.849718     10.0
         -77.849627     2.0

So as a result I need dataframe where each pixel has a value with highest frequency and when the frequency is lower than 3 there should be a NA value.

Can the pandas.groupby function do that? I thought about value_counts(), but I'm not sure how to implement that to my dataset.

Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

Here is a clunky way to do it:

# Get the modes per group and count how often they occur
df_modes = df.groupby(["x", "y"]).agg(
    {
        'classif': [lambda x: pd.Series.mode(x)[0], 
                    lambda x: sum(x == pd.Series.mode(x)[0])]
    }
).reset_index()
# Rename the columns to something a bit more readable
df_modes.columns = ["x", "y", "classif_mode", "classif_mode_freq"]
# Discard modes whose frequency was less than 3
df_modes.loc[df_modes["classif_mode_freq"] < 3, "classif_mode"] = np.nan

Now df_modes.drop("classif_mode_freq", axis=1) will return

          x          y  classif_mode
0  7.620001 -77.849990           2.0
1  7.620001 -77.849899           8.0
2  7.620001 -77.849809           NaN
3  7.620001 -77.849718          10.0
4  7.620001 -77.849627           2.0
