My data is like this:
df = pd.DataFrame({'a': [5,0,0, 6, 0, 0, 0 , 12]})
I want to count the zeros above the 6 and replace them with (6/count+1)=(6/3)=2
(I will also replace the original 6) I also want to do a similar thing with the zeros above the 12. So, (12/count)=(12/3)=4
So the final result will be:
[5,2,2, 2, 3, 3, 3 , 3]
I am not sure how to start. Are there any functions that do this? Thanks.
Use GroupBy.transform
with mean
and custom groups created with test not equal 0
, swap order, cumulative sum and swap order to original:
g = df['a'].ne(0).iloc[::-1].cumsum().iloc[::-1]
df['b'] = df.groupby(g)['a'].transform('mean')
print (df)
a b
0 5 5
1 0 2
2 0 2
3 6 2
4 0 3
5 0 3
6 0 3
7 12 3
