When I slice into a MultiIndex
DataFrame
by a level 0 index value, I want to know the possible level 1+ index values that fall under that initial value. If my wording doesn't make sense, here's an example:
>>> arrays = [['bar', 'bar', 'baz', 'baz', 'foo', 'foo', 'qux', 'qux'],
... ['one', 'two', 'one', 'two', 'one', 'two', 'one', 'two'],
... ['a','b','a','b','b','b','b','b']]
>>> tuples = list(zip(*arrays))
>>> index = pd.MultiIndex.from_tuples(tuples, names=['first', 'second','third'])
>>> s = pd.Series(np.random.randn(8), index=index)
>>> s
first second third
bar one a -0.598684
two b 0.351421
baz one a -0.618285
two b -1.175418
foo one b -0.093806
two b 1.092197
qux one b -1.515515
two b 0.741408
dtype: float64
s
's index
looks like:
>>> s.index
MultiIndex(levels=[[u'bar', u'baz', u'foo', u'qux'], [u'one', u'two'], [u'a', u'b']],
labels=[[0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3], [0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1], [0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]],
names=[u'first', u'second', u'third'])
When I take just the section of s
whose first
index value is foo
, and look up the index of that I get:
>>> s_foo = s.loc['foo']
>>> s_foo
second third
one b -0.093806
two b 1.092197
dtype: float64
>>> s_foo.index
MultiIndex(levels=[[u'one', u'two'], [u'a', u'b']],
labels=[[0, 1], [1, 1]],
names=[u'second', u'third'])
I want the index
of s_foo
to act as if the higher level of s
does not exist, yet we can see in s_foo.index
's levels
attribute that a
is still considered a potential value of index third
, despite the fact that s_foo
only has b
as a possible value.
Essentially, what I want to find are all the possible third
values of foo_s
, ie b
and only b
. Right now I do set(s_foo.reset_index()['third'])
, but I was hoping for a more elegant solution
You can create s_foo and explicitly drop the unused levels:
s_foo = s.loc['foo']
s_foo.index = s_foo.index.remove_unused_levels()
Reset index seems like the right way to go, seems like you don't want it to be an index (the result you're getting is the way indexes work).
s.reset_index(level=2).groupby(level=[0])['third'].unique()
or if you want counts
s.reset_index(level=2).groupby(level=[0])['third'].value_counts()
