How can I get grouped windows in pandas? I.e. like WINDOW OVER … PARTITION BY … from SQL












0














Pandas window functions i.e. rolling work great. However coming from SQL I know, that windows can also be PARTITIONED BY some group.



How can I get grouped windows in pandas?
A:



df.groupby(['group']).rolling('10s').mean()


fails with:



TypeError: Only valid with DatetimeIndex, TimedeltaIndex or PeriodIndex, but got an instance of 'MultiIndex'


And if df.rolling('10s', on='group') is used, it only works in case 'group' is int i.e. in SQL some concrete number of preceding/following rows. How can I preserve the window by time?



edit minimal sample:



import random
groups = ['A', 'B']
df = pd.DataFrame({'value': range(60), 'group': [random.choice(groups) for i in range(60)]},index=pd.DatetimeIndex(pd.date_range(start='20160101', end='20160229')))
df.head()


The following works, but does not consider the groups:



df[['value']].rolling('2d').mean().head()


The following does not work for time windows:



df[['group','value']].rolling(3, on='group').mean().head()


and



df.rolling('2D', on='group').mean().head()


fails with: window must be an integer when trying to use a time window.

          Drop the index so you can group by. I think the issue with the index column.



          df.groupby(['col2','col3'], as_index=False)
