Adding values for missing data combinations in Pandas
I have a pandas dataframe containing something like the following:
person_id status year count
0 'pass' 1980 4
0 'fail' 1982 1
1 'pass' 1981 2
If I know that all possible values for each field are:
all_person_ids = [0, 1, 2]
all_statuses = ['pass', 'fail']
all_years = [1980, 1981, 1982]
I would like to populate the original count=0
dataframe for the missing data combinations (person_id, status and year), i.e. I would like the new dataframe to contain:
person_id status year count
0 'pass' 1980 4
0 'pass' 1981 0
0 'pass' 1982 0
0 'fail' 1980 0
0 'fail' 1981 0
0 'fail' 1982 2
1 'pass' 1980 0
1 'pass' 1981 2
1 'pass' 1982 0
1 'fail' 1980 0
1 'fail' 1981 0
1 'fail' 1982 0
2 'pass' 1980 0
2 'pass' 1981 0
2 'pass' 1982 0
2 'fail' 1980 0
2 'fail' 1981 0
2 'fail' 1982 0
Is there an efficient way to achieve this in pandas?

create MultiIndex via MultiIndex.from_product (), and then set_index()
, reindex()
, reset_index()
.
import pandas as pd
import io
all_person_ids = [0, 1, 2]
all_statuses = ['pass', 'fail']
all_years = [1980, 1981, 1982]
df = pd.read_csv(io.BytesIO("""person_id status year count
0 pass 1980 4
0 fail 1982 1
1 pass 1981 2"""), delim_whitespace=True)
names = ["person_id", "status", "year"]
mind = pd.MultiIndex.from_product(
[all_person_ids, all_statuses, all_years], names=names)
df.set_index(names).reindex(mind, fill_value=0).reset_index()

You can use itertools.product
to create all combinations, then build a df from that, merge
with the original df along with fillna
, to fill in the missing count values with0
In [77]:
import itertools
all_person_ids = [0, 1, 2]
all_statuses = ['pass', 'fail']
all_years = [1980, 1981, 1982]
combined = [all_person_ids, all_statuses, all_years]
df1 = pd.DataFrame(columns = ['person_id', 'status', 'year'], data=list(itertools.product(*combined)))
df1
Out[77]:
person_id status year
0 0 pass 1980
1 0 pass 1981
2 0 pass 1982
3 0 fail 1980
4 0 fail 1981
5 0 fail 1982
6 1 pass 1980
7 1 pass 1981
8 1 pass 1982
9 1 fail 1980
10 1 fail 1981
11 1 fail 1982
12 2 pass 1980
13 2 pass 1981
14 2 pass 1982
15 2 fail 1980
16 2 fail 1981
17 2 fail 1982
In [82]:
df1 = df1.merge(df, how='left').fillna(0)
df1
Out[82]:
person_id status year count
0 0 pass 1980 4
1 0 pass 1981 0
2 0 pass 1982 0
3 0 fail 1980 0
4 0 fail 1981 0
5 0 fail 1982 1
6 1 pass 1980 0
7 1 pass 1981 2
8 1 pass 1982 0
9 1 fail 1980 0
10 1 fail 1981 0
11 1 fail 1982 0
12 2 pass 1980 0
13 2 pass 1981 0
14 2 pass 1982 0
15 2 fail 1980 0
16 2 fail 1981 0
17 2 fail 1982 0
