New features
~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. _whatsnew_0182.enhancements.asof_merge:
``pd.merge_asof()`` for asof-style time-series joining
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
A long-time requested feature has been added through the :func:`merge_asof` function, to
support asof style joining of time-series. (:issue:`1870`). Full documentation is
:ref:`here <merging.merge_asof>`
The :func:`merge_asof`` performs an asof merge, which is similar to a left-join
except that we match on nearest key rather than equal keys.
.. ipython:: python
left = pd.DataFrame({'a': [1, 5, 10],
'left_val': ['a', 'b', 'c']})
right = pd.DataFrame({'a': [1, 2, 3, 6, 7],
'right_val': [1, 2, 3, 6, 7]})
left
right
We typically want to match exactly when possible, and use the most
recent value otherwise.
.. ipython:: python
pd.merge_asof(left, right, on='a')
We can also match rows ONLY with prior data, and not an exact match.
.. ipython:: python
pd.merge_asof(left, right, on='a', allow_exact_matches=False)
In a typical time-series example, we have ``trades`` and ``quotes`` and we want to ``asof-join`` them.
This also illustrates using the ``by`` parameter to group data before merging.
.. ipython:: python
trades = pd.DataFrame({
'time': pd.to_datetime(['20160525 13:30:00.023',
'20160525 13:30:00.038',
'20160525 13:30:00.048',
'20160525 13:30:00.048',
'20160525 13:30:00.048']),
'ticker': ['MSFT', 'MSFT',
'GOOG', 'GOOG', 'AAPL'],
'price': [51.95, 51.95,
720.77, 720.92, 98.00],
'quantity': [75, 155,
100, 100, 100]},
columns=['time', 'ticker', 'price', 'quantity'])
quotes = pd.DataFrame({
'time': pd.to_datetime(['20160525 13:30:00.023',
'20160525 13:30:00.023',
'20160525 13:30:00.030',
'20160525 13:30:00.041',
'20160525 13:30:00.048',
'20160525 13:30:00.049',
'20160525 13:30:00.072',
'20160525 13:30:00.075']),
'ticker': ['GOOG', 'MSFT', 'MSFT',
'MSFT', 'GOOG', 'AAPL', 'GOOG',
'MSFT'],
'bid': [720.50, 51.95, 51.97, 51.99,
720.50, 97.99, 720.50, 52.01],
'ask': [720.93, 51.96, 51.98, 52.00,
720.93, 98.01, 720.88, 52.03]},
columns=['time', 'ticker', 'bid', 'ask'])
.. ipython:: python
trades
quotes
An asof merge joins on the ``on``, typically a datetimelike field, which is ordered, and
in this case we are using a grouper in the ``by`` field. This is like a left-outer join, except
that forward filling happens automatically taking the most recent non-NaN value.
.. ipython:: python
pd.merge_asof(trades, quotes,
on='time',
by='ticker')
This returns a merged DataFrame with the entries in the same order as the original left
passed DataFrame (``trades`` in this case). With the fields of the ``quotes`` merged.
.. _whatsnew_0182.enhancements.read_csv_dupe_col_names_support:
``pd.read_csv`` has improved support for duplicate column names
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
:ref:`Duplicate column names <io.dupe_names>` are now supported in ``pd.read_csv()`` whether
they are in the file or passed in as the ``names`` parameter (:issue:`7160`, :issue:`9424`)
.. ipython :: python
data = '0,1,2\n3,4,5'
names = ['a', 'b', 'a']
Previous behaviour:
.. code-block:: ipython
In [2]: pd.read_csv(StringIO(data), names=names)
Out[2]:
a b a
0 2 1 2
1 5 4 5
The first 'a' column contains the same data as the second 'a' column, when it should have
contained the array ``[0, 3]``.
New behaviour:
.. ipython :: python
In [2]: pd.read_csv(StringIO(data), names=names)
.. _whatsnew_0182.enhancements.semi_month_offsets:
Semi-Month Offsets
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Pandas has gained new frequency offsets, ``SemiMonthEnd`` ('SM') and ``SemiMonthBegin`` ('SMS').
These provide date offsets anchored (by default) to the 15th and end of month, and 15th and 1st of month respectively.
(:issue:`1543`)
.. ipython:: python
from pandas.tseries.offsets import SemiMonthEnd, SemiMonthBegin
SemiMonthEnd:
.. ipython:: python
Timestamp('2016-01-01') + SemiMonthEnd()
pd.date_range('2015-01-01', freq='SM', periods=4)
SemiMonthBegin:
.. ipython:: python
Timestamp('2016-01-01') + SemiMonthBegin()
pd.date_range('2015-01-01', freq='SMS', periods=4)
Using the anchoring suffix, you can also specify the day of month to use instead of the 15th.
.. ipython:: python
pd.date_range('2015-01-01', freq='SMS-16', periods=4)
pd.date_range('2015-01-01', freq='SM-14', periods=4)
.. _whatsnew_0182.enhancements.other:
Other enhancements
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- The ``.tz_localize()`` method of ``DatetimeIndex`` and ``Timestamp`` has gained the ``errors`` keyword, so you can potentially coerce nonexistent timestamps to ``NaT``. The default behaviour remains to raising a ``NonExistentTimeError`` (:issue:`13057`)
- ``Index`` now supports ``.str.extractall()`` which returns ``DataFrame``, see :ref:`Extract all matches in each subject (extractall) <text.extractall>` (:issue:`10008`, :issue:`13156`)
- ``.to_hdf/read_hdf()`` now accept path objects (e.g. ``pathlib.Path``, ``py.path.local``) for the file path (:issue:`11773`)
.. ipython:: python
idx = pd.Index(["a1a2", "b1", "c1"])
idx.str.extractall("[ab](?P<digit>\d)")
- ``Timestamp`` s can now accept positional and keyword parameters like :func:`datetime.datetime` (:issue:`10758`, :issue:`11630`)
.. ipython:: python
pd.Timestamp(2012, 1, 1)
pd.Timestamp(year=2012, month=1, day=1, hour=8, minute=30)
- The ``pd.read_csv()`` with ``engine='python'`` has gained support for the ``decimal`` option (:issue:`12933`)
- The ``pd.read_csv()`` with ``engine='python'`` has gained support for the ``na_filter`` option (:issue:`13321`)
- The ``pd.read_csv()`` with ``engine='python'`` has gained support for the ``memory_map`` option (:issue:`13381`)
- ``Index.astype()`` now accepts an optional boolean argument ``copy``, which allows optional copying if the requirements on dtype are satisfied (:issue:`13209`)
- ``Index`` now supports the ``.where()`` function for same shape indexing (:issue:`13170`)
.. ipython:: python
idx = pd.Index(['a', 'b', 'c'])
idx.where([True, False, True])
- ``Categorical.astype()`` now accepts an optional boolean argument ``copy``, effective when dtype is categorical (:issue:`13209`)
- ``DataFrame`` has gained the ``.asof()`` method to return the last non-NaN values according to the selected subset (:issue:`13358`)
- Consistent with the Python API, ``pd.read_csv()`` will now interpret ``+inf`` as positive infinity (:issue:`13274`)
- The ``DataFrame`` constructor will now respect key ordering if a list of ``OrderedDict`` objects are passed in (:issue:`13304`)
- ``pd.read_html()`` has gained support for the ``decimal`` option (:issue:`12907`)
- A ``union_categorical`` function has been added for combining categoricals, see :ref:`Unioning Categoricals<categorical.union>` (:issue:`13361`)
- ``eval``'s upcasting rules for ``float32`` types have been updated to be more consistent with NumPy's rules. New behavior will not upcast to ``float64`` if you multiply a pandas ``float32`` object by a scalar float64. (:issue:`12388`)
- ``Series`` has gained the properties ``.is_monotonic``, ``.is_monotonic_increasing``, ``.is_monotonic_decreasing``, similar to ``Index`` (:issue:`13336`)
.. _whatsnew_0182.api:
API changes
~~~~~~~~~~~
- Non-convertible dates in an excel date column will be returned without conversion and the column will be ``object`` dtype, rather than raising an exception (:issue:`10001`)
- An ``UnsupportedFunctionCall`` error is now raised if NumPy ufuncs like ``np.mean`` are called on groupby or resample objects (:issue:`12811`)
- Calls to ``.sample()`` will respect the random seed set via ``numpy.random.seed(n)`` (:issue:`13161`)
.. _whatsnew_0182.api.tolist:
``Series.tolist()`` will now return Python types
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
``Series.tolist()`` will now return Python types in the output, mimicking NumPy ``.tolist()`` behaviour (:issue:`10904`)
.. ipython:: python
s = pd.Series([1,2,3])
type(s.tolist()[0])
Previous Behavior:
.. code-block:: ipython
In [7]: type(s.tolist()[0])
Out[7]:
<class 'numpy.int64'>
New Behavior:
.. ipython:: python
type(s.tolist()[0])
.. _whatsnew_0182.api.promote:
``Series`` type promotion on assignment
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
A ``Series`` will now correctly promote its dtype for assignment with incompat values to the current dtype (:issue:`13234`)
.. ipython:: python
s = pd.Series()
Previous Behavior:
.. code-block:: ipython
In [2]: s["a"] = pd.Timestamp("2016-01-01")
In [3]: s["b"] = 3.0
TypeError: invalid type promotion
New Behavior:
.. ipython:: python
s["a"] = pd.Timestamp("2016-01-01")
s["b"] = 3.0
s
s.dtype
.. _whatsnew_0182.api.to_datetime_coerce:
``.to_datetime()`` when coercing
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
A bug is fixed in ``.to_datetime()`` when passing integers or floats, and no ``unit`` and ``errors='coerce'`` (:issue:`13180`).
Previously if ``.to_datetime()`` encountered mixed integers/floats and strings, but no datetimes with ``errors='coerce'`` it would convert all to ``NaT``.
Previous Behavior:
.. code-block:: ipython
In [2]: pd.to_datetime([1, 'foo'], errors='coerce')
Out[2]: DatetimeIndex(['NaT', 'NaT'], dtype='datetime64[ns]', freq=None)
This will now convert integers/floats with the default unit of ``ns``.
.. ipython:: python
pd.to_datetime([1, 'foo'], errors='coerce')
.. _whatsnew_0182.api.merging:
Merging changes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Merging will now preserve the dtype of the join keys (:issue:`8596`)
.. ipython:: python
df1 = pd.DataFrame({'key': [1], 'v1': [10]})
df1
df2 = pd.DataFrame({'key': [1, 2], 'v1': [20, 30]})
df2
Previous Behavior:
.. code-block:: ipython
In [5]: pd.merge(df1, df2, how='outer')
Out[5]:
key v1
0 1.0 10.0
1 1.0 20.0
2 2.0 30.0
In [6]: pd.merge(df1, df2, how='outer').dtypes
Out[6]:
key float64
v1 float64
dtype: object
New Behavior:
We are able to preserve the join keys
.. ipython:: python
pd.merge(df1, df2, how='outer')
pd.merge(df1, df2, how='outer').dtypes
Of course if you have missing values that are introduced, then the
resulting dtype will be upcast (unchanged from previous).
.. ipython:: python
pd.merge(df1, df2, how='outer', on='key')
pd.merge(df1, df2, how='outer', on='key').dtypes
.. _whatsnew_0182.describe:
``.describe()`` changes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Percentile identifiers in the index of a ``.describe()`` output will now be rounded to the least precision that keeps them distinct (:issue:`13104`)
.. ipython:: python
s = pd.Series([0, 1, 2, 3, 4])
df = pd.DataFrame([0, 1, 2, 3, 4])
Previous Behavior:
The percentiles were rounded to at most one decimal place, which could raise ``ValueError`` for a data frame if the percentiles were duplicated.
.. code-block:: ipython
In [3]: s.describe(percentiles=[0.0001, 0.0005, 0.001, 0.999, 0.9995, 0.9999])
Out[3]:
count 5.000000
mean 2.000000
std 1.581139
min 0.000000
0.0% 0.000400
0.1% 0.002000
0.1% 0.004000
50% 2.000000
99.9% 3.996000
100.0% 3.998000
100.0% 3.999600
max 4.000000
dtype: float64
In [4]: df.describe(percentiles=[0.0001, 0.0005, 0.001, 0.999, 0.9995, 0.9999])
Out[4]:
...
ValueError: cannot reindex from a duplicate axis
New Behavior:
.. ipython:: python
s.describe(percentiles=[0.0001, 0.0005, 0.001, 0.999, 0.9995, 0.9999])
df.describe(percentiles=[0.0001, 0.0005, 0.001, 0.999, 0.9995, 0.9999])
- Passing duplicated ``percentiles`` will now raise a ``ValueError``.
- Bug in ``.describe()`` on a DataFrame with a mixed-dtype column index, which would previously raise a ``TypeError`` (:issue:`13288`)
.. _whatsnew_0182.api.other:
Other API changes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- ``Float64Index.astype(int)`` will now raise ``ValueError`` if ``Float64Index`` contains ``NaN`` values (:issue:`13149`)
- ``TimedeltaIndex.astype(int)`` and ``DatetimeIndex.astype(int)`` will now return ``Int64Index`` instead of ``np.array`` (:issue:`13209`)
- ``.filter()`` enforces mutual exclusion of the keyword arguments. (:issue:`12399`)
- ``PeridIndex`` can now accept ``list`` and ``array`` which contains ``pd.NaT`` (:issue:`13430`)
.. _whatsnew_0182.deprecations:
Deprecations
^^^^^^^^^^^^
- ``compact_ints`` and ``use_unsigned`` have been deprecated in ``pd.read_csv()`` and will be removed in a future version (:issue:`13320`)
- ``buffer_lines`` has been deprecated in ``pd.read_csv()`` and will be removed in a future version (:issue:`13360`)
- ``as_recarray`` has been deprecated in ``pd.read_csv()`` and will be removed in a future version (:issue:`13373`)
- top-level ``pd.ordered_merge()`` has been renamed to ``pd.merge_ordered()`` and the original name will be removed in a future version (:issue:`13358`)
.. _whatsnew_0182.performance:
Performance Improvements

- Improved performance of sparse ``IntIndex.intersect`` (:issue:`13082`)
- Improved performance of sparse arithmetic with ``BlockIndex`` when the number of blocks are large, though recommended to use ``IntIndex`` in such cases (:issue:`13082`)
- increased performance of ``DataFrame.quantile()`` as it now operates per-block (:issue:`11623`)
- Improved performance of float64 hash table operations, fixing some very slow indexing and groupby operations in python 3 (:issue:`13166`, :issue:`13334`)
- Improved performance of ``DataFrameGroupBy.transform`` (:issue:`12737`)
