I have a dataset structures as below:
index country city Data
0 AU Sydney 23
1 AU Sydney 45
2 AU Unknown 2
3 CA Toronto 56
4 CA Toronto 2
5 CA Ottawa 1
6 CA Unknown 2
I want to replace 'Unknown' in the city column with the mode of the occurences of cities per country. The result would be:
...
2 AU Sydney 2
...
6 CA Toronto 2
I can get the city modes with:
city_modes = df.groupby('country')['city'].apply(lambda x: x.mode().iloc[0])
And I can replace values with:
df['column']=df.column.replace('Unknown', 'something')
But i cant work out how to combine these to only replace unknowns for each country based on mode of occurrence of cities.
Any ideas?
Use transform
for Series
with same size as original DataFrame
and set new values by numpy.where
:
city_modes = df.groupby('country')['city'].transform(lambda x: x.mode().iloc[0])
df['column'] = np.where(df['column'] == 'Unknown',city_modes, df['column'])
Or:
df.loc[df['column'] == 'Unknown', 'column'] = city_modes
