I have a dataframe that has the columns
Here user_id is the index of the df. I want to group by both user_id and item_bought and get the item wise count for the user. How do I do that.
Thanks
this should work:
>>> df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randint(0,5,(6, 2)), columns=['col1','col2'])
>>> df['ind1'] = list('AAABCC')
>>> df['ind2'] = range(6)
>>> df.set_index(['ind1','ind2'], inplace=True)
>>> df
col1 col2
ind1 ind2
A 0 3 2
1 2 0
2 2 3
B 3 2 4
C 4 3 1
5 0 0
>>> df.groupby([df.index.get_level_values(0),'col1']).count()
col2
ind1 col1
A 2 2
3 1
B 2 1
C 0 1
3 1
I had the same problem using one of the columns from multiindex. with multiindex, you cannot use df.index.levels[0] since it has only distinct values from that particular index level and will be most likely of different size than whole dataframe...
check http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/generated/pandas.Index.get_level_values.html - get_level_values "Return vector of label values for requested level, equal to the length of the index"
From version 0.20.1 it is simplier:
Strings passed to DataFrame.groupby() as the by parameter may now reference either column names or index level names
arrays = [['bar', 'bar', 'baz', 'baz', 'foo', 'foo', 'qux', 'qux'],
['one', 'two', 'one', 'two', 'one', 'two', 'one', 'two']]
index = pd.MultiIndex.from_arrays(arrays, names=['first', 'second'])
df = pd.DataFrame({'A': [1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3],
'B': np.arange(8)}, index=index)
print (df)
A B
first second
bar one 1 0
two 1 1
baz one 1 2
two 1 3
foo one 2 4
two 2 5
qux one 3 6
two 3 7
print (df.groupby(['second', 'A']).sum())
B
second A
one 1 2
2 4
3 6
two 1 4
2 5
3 7

I had the same problem - imported a bunch of data and I wanted to groupby a field that was the index. I didn't have a multi-index or any of that jazz and nor do you.
I figured the problem is that the field I want is the index, so at first I just reset the index - but this gives me a useless index field that I don't want. So now I do the following (two levels of grouping):
grouped = df.reset_index().groupby(by=['Field1','Field2'])
then I can use 'grouped' in a bunch of ways for different reports
grouped[['Field3','Field4']].agg([np.mean, np.std])
(which was what I wanted, giving me Field4 and Field3 averages, grouped by Field1 (the index) and Field2
For you, if you just want to do the count of items per user , in one simple line using groupby, the code could be
df.reset_index().groupby(by=['user_id']).count()
If you want to do more things then you can (like me) create 'grouped' and then use that. As a beginner, I find it easier to follow that way.
Please note, that the "reset_index" is not 'in place' and so will not mess up your original dataframe
