I have created a simple dataframe,"F_test". I would now like to populate another dataframe,"P", with data from "F_test" based on whether the cell in "P" lies in the same row as "F_test" and is inbetween the startdates/enddates for that row.
However, when I execute a simple For Loop to do this, after the first row, no other data is updated in the "P" matrix.
In the code on my PC, I actually extract "F_test" data from an Excel File, but for the purposes of giving a complete dataset on this forum, I have manually created the simple dataframe, named "F_test".
As you may be able to tell from the code, I am a recent convert from the Matlab/VBA Excel world...
I would really appreciate your wisdom on this topic.
F0 = ('08/02/2018','08/02/2018',50)
F1 = ('08/02/2018','09/02/2018',52)
F2 = ('10/02/2018','11/02/2018',46)
F3 = ('12/02/2018','16/02/2018',55)
F4 = ('09/02/2018','28/02/2018',48)
F_mat = [[F0,F1,F2,F3,F4]]
F_test = pd.DataFrame(np.array(F_mat).reshape(5,3),columns= ('startdate','enddate','price'))
#convert string dates into DateTime data type
F_test['startdate'] = pd.to_datetime(F_test['startdate'])
F_test['enddate'] = pd.to_datetime(F_test['enddate'])
#convert datetype to be datetime type for columns startdate and enddate
F['startdate'] = pd.to_datetime(F['startdate'])
F['enddate'] = pd.to_datetime(F['enddate'])
#create contract duration column
F['duration'] = (F['enddate'] - F['startdate']).dt.days + 1
#re-order the F matrix by column 'duration', ensure that the bootstrapping
#prioritises the shorter term contracts
F.sort_values(by=['duration'], ascending=[True])
#create D matrix, dataframe containing each day from start to end date
tempDateRange = pd.date_range(start=F['startdate'].min(), end=F['enddate'].max(), freq='D')
D = pd.DataFrame(tempDateRange)
#define Nb of Calendar Days in a variable to be used later
intNbCalendarDays = (F['enddate'].max() - F['startdate'].min()).days + 1
#define Nb of Contracts in a variable to be used later
intNbContracts = len(F)
#define a zero filled matrix, P, which will house the contract prices
P = pd.DataFrame(np.zeros((intNbContracts, intNbCalendarDays)))
#rename columns of P to be the dates contained in matrix array D
P.columns = tempDateRange
#create prices in correct rows in P
for i in list(range(0, intNbContracts)):
for j in list(range(0, intNbCalendarDays)):
if ((F.iloc[i,0] >= P.columns[j]) & (F.iloc[i,1] <= P.columns[j] )):
P.iloc[i,j] = F.iloc[i,2]
P
I think your date comparisons are the wrong way round at the end and you should use 'and' not '&' (which is the bitwise operator). Try this:
# create prices in correct rows in P
for i in list(range(0, intNbContracts)):
for j in list(range(0, intNbCalendarDays)):
if (F.iloc[i, 0] <= P.columns[j]) and (F.iloc[i, 1] >= P.columns[j]):
P.iloc[i, j] = F.iloc[i, 2]
This is still probably not as efficient as you could get, but is better I think. This would replace from your "#create D matrix, dataframe containing..." comment onwards
# create prices P
P = pd.DataFrame()
for index, row in F.iterrows():
new_P_row = pd.Series()
for date in pd.date_range(row['startdate'], row['enddate']):
new_P_row[date] = row['price']
P = P.append(new_P_row, ignore_index=True)
P.fillna(0, inplace=True)
