I'm trying to bin data and apply a float value based on the bin. I thought pandas.cut was the tool for this, but apparently it requires unique values for each bin label.
values = [0.6, 0.5, 0.5, 0.6, 0.8, 0.9]
bins = [0, 2, 5, 10, 15, 25, 200]
binned = pd.cut(original_table[field], bins, labels=values)
>>> ValueError: Categorical categories must be unique
My data (original_table) is very large and doing anything iteratively is quite slow, which is why cut was an appealing tool. Is there a workaround to make pd.cut work for this?
Found a workaround:
values = [0.6, 0.5, 0.5, 0.6, 0.8, 0.9]
bins = [0, 2, 5, 10, 15, 25, 200]
binned = np.array(values)[pd.cut(original_table[field], bins, labels=False)]
Here is another option to circumvent this issue, which I have found here . Also looks like it will be fixed soon
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
values = [0.6, 0.5, 0.5, 0.6, 0.8, 0.9]
bins = [0, 2, 5, 10, 15, 25, 200]
# Cut it
binned = pd.cut(original_table[field], bins, labels=pd.Categorical(values))
Demo:
In [127]: df = pd.DataFrame({'val':np.random.randint(0, 200, 10)})
In [128]: values = ['0.6', '0.5', '0.5X', '0.6X', '0.8', '0.9']
...: bins = [0, 2, 5, 10, 15, 25, 200]
...:
In [129]: df['new'] = pd.cut(df['val'], bins, labels=values).str.replace('X','').astype('float')
In [130]: df
Out[130]:
val new
0 25 0.8
1 115 0.9
2 63 0.9
3 29 0.9
4 74 0.9
5 133 0.9
6 194 0.9
7 152 0.9
8 94 0.9
9 84 0.9
