将一个组划分为 n 并在 python 中为每个组添加块号

Question

I have the following table:

ColumnA	ColumnB
A	12
B	32
C	44
D	76
E	99
F	123
G	65
H	87
I	76
J	231
k	80
l	55
m	27
n	67

I would like to divide this table in to 'n' (n = 4, here) groups and add another column with group name. The output should look like the following:

ColumnA	ColumnB	ColumnC
A	12	1
B	32	1
C	44	1
D	76	1
E	99	2
F	123	2
G	65	2
H	87	2
I	76	3
J	231	3
k	80	3
l	55	4
m	27	4
n	67	4

What I tried so for?

TGn = 4
idx = set(df.index // TGn)

treatment_groups = [i for i in range(1, n+1)]
df['columnC'] = (df.index // TGn).map(dict(zip(idx, treatment_groups)))

This does not split the group properly, not sure where I went wrong. How do I correct it?

Answer 1

Assuming that your sample size is exactly divided by n (ie sample_size%n is 0):

import numpy as np
groups = range(1,n+1)

df['columnC'] = np.repeat(groups,int(len(df)/n))

If your sample size is not exactly divided by n (ie sample_size%n is not 0):

# Assigning the remaining rows to random groups
df['columnC'] = np.concatenate(
                [np.repeat(groups,int(len(df)/n)), 
                 np.random.randint(1, high=n, size=int(len(df)%n), dtype=int)])

# Assigning the remaining rows to group 'm'
df['columnC'] = np.concatenate(
                [np.repeat(groups,int(len(df)/n)), 
                 np.repeat([m],int(len(df)%n)), dtype=int)])
