I'm running a loop that appends values to an empty dataframe out side of the loop. However, when this is done, the datframe remains empty. I'm not sure what's going on. The goal is to find the power value that results in the lowest sum of squared residuals.
Example code below:
import tweedie
power_list = np.arange(1.3, 2, .01)
mean = 353.77
std = 17298.24
size = 860310
x = tweedie.tweedie(mu = mean, p = 1.5, phi = 50).rvs(len(x))
variance = 299228898.89
sum_ssr_df = pd.DataFrame(columns = ['power', 'dispersion', 'ssr'])
for i in power_list:
power = i
phi = variance/(mean**power)
tvs = tweedie.tweedie(mu = mean, p = power, phi = phi).rvs(len(x))
sort_tvs = np.sort(tvs)
df = pd.DataFrame([x, sort_tvs]).transpose()
df.columns = ['actual', 'random']
df['residual'] = df['actual'] - df['random']
ssr = df['residual']**2
sum_ssr = np.sum(ssr)
df_i = pd.DataFrame([i, phi, sum_ssr])
df_i = df_i.transpose()
df_i.columns = ['power', 'dispersion', 'ssr']
sum_ssr_df.append(df_i)
sum_ssr_df[sum_ssr_df['ssr'] == sum_ssr_df['ssr'].min()]
What exactly am I doing incorrectly?
This code isn't as efficient as is could be as noted by ALollz. When you append, it basically creates a new dataframe in memory (I'm oversimplifying here).
The error in your code is:
sum_ssr_df.append(df_i)
should be:
sum_ssr_df = sum_ssr_df.append(df_i)
