2. Apply Aggregation on a Single Column of a Dataframe
3. Apply Aggregation on Multiple Columns of a DataFrame
Introduction
In this article, we will try to learn about how we can perform some data aggregation tasks on our dataset to get some useful insights from it.
Python has several methods are available to perform aggregations on data. It is done using the pandas and numpy libraries. The data must be available or converted to
a dataframe to apply the aggregation functions.
Applying Aggregations on DataFrame
Let us create a DataFrame and apply aggregations on it.
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(10, 4),
index = pd.date_range('1/1/2000', periods=10),
columns = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D'])
print(df)
r = df.rolling(window=3,min_periods=1)
print(r)
Its output is as follows −
A B C D
2000-01-01 1.088512 -0.650942 -2.547450 -0.566858
2000-01-02 0.790670 -0.387854 -0.668132 0.267283
2000-01-03 -0.575523 -0.965025 0.060427 -2.179780

Rolling [window=3,min_periods=1,center=false,axis=0]
We can aggregate by passing a function to the entire DataFrame, or select a column via the standard get item method.
1. Apply Aggregation on a Whole Dataframe
We can apply aggregation on the whole on which we want to aggregate the data. It can be done as shown below-
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(10, 4),
index = pd.date_range('1/1/2000', periods=10),
columns = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D'])
print(df)
r = df.rolling(window=3,min_periods=1)
print(r.aggregate(np.sum))
Its output is as follows −
A B C D
2000-01-01 1.088512 -0.650942 -2.547450 -0.566858

2. Apply Aggregation on a Single Column of a Dataframe
We can also apply aggregation on a particular column on which we want to aggregate the data. It can be done as shown below-
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(10, 4),
index = pd.date_range('1/1/2000', periods=10),
columns = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D'])
print(df)
r = df.rolling(window=3,min_periods=1)
print(r['A'].aggregate(np.sum))
Its output is as follows −
A B C D
2000-01-01 1.088512 -0.650942 -2.547450 -0.566858
2000-01-02 1.879182 -1.038796 -3.215581 -0.299575

3. Apply Aggregation on Multiple Columns of a DataFrame
We can also apply aggregation on multiple columns on which we want to aggregate the data. It can be done as shown below-
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(10, 4),
index = pd.date_range('1/1/2000', periods=10),
columns = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D'])
print(df)
r = df.rolling(window=3,min_periods=1)
print(r[['A','B']].aggregate(np.sum))
Its output is as follows −
A B C D
2000-01-01 1.088512 -0.650942 -2.547450 -0.566858
2000-01-02 1.879182 -1.038796 -3.215581 -0.299575
2000-01-03 1.303660 -2.003821 -3.155154 -2.479355
2000-01-04 1.884801 -0.141119 -0.862400 -0.483331
