リストからDataFrameを生成[Pandas]

本記事では，値をデータフレームを入力し，そのあとカラム名とインデックス名を決める流れで生成を行う方法を紹介．

それぞれの列をリストとし，その２次元リストからDataFrameを作成する場合

pd.DataFrameの際，転置するのがキモ

import pandas as pd

l2d = [["January", "September", "September", "November", "February"],
　　　　["UK", "Spain", "Jamaica", "Italy", "France"],
　　　　[27, 28, 28, 22, 19],
　　　　["f", "f", "f", "f", "f"]]

df = pd.DataFrame(l2d).T
df.columns = ["Birth Month", "Origin", "Age", "Gender"]
df.index = ["Carly", "Rachel", "Nicky", "Wendy", "Judith"]

Output

Birth Month   Origin Age Gender
Carly      January       UK  27      f
Rachel   September    Spain  28      f
Nicky    September  Jamaica  28      f
Wendy     November    Italy  22      f
Judith    February   France  19      f

それぞれの列をリストとし，その２次元リストからDataFrameを作成する場合の別パターン

１つ目とほぼ同じだが参考のために載せておく．

import pandas as pd

if __name__ == "__main__":

    c1 = ["January", "September", "September", "November", "February"]
    c2 = ["UK", "Spain", "Jamaica", "Italy", "France"]
    c3 = [27, 28, 28, 22, 19]
    c4 = ["f", "f", "f", "f", "f"]

    df = pd.DataFrame().T
    df.columns = ["Birth Month", "Origin", "Age", "Gender"]
    df.index = ["Carly", "Rachel", "Nicky", "Wendy", "Judith"]

    print(df)

Output

Birth Month   Origin Age Gender
Carly      January       UK  27      f
Rachel   September    Spain  28      f
Nicky    September  Jamaica  28      f
Wendy     November    Italy  22      f
Judith    February   France  19      f

それぞれの行をリストとし，その２次元リストからDataFrameを作成する場合

行からの場合，pd.DataFrameを転置しなくてもよい．

これが王道パターンな気がするが，筆者はさまざまな形式で散らばったデータを集約する際にこのような操作を行うことが多いので，データが行として蓄積されているケースが少ない．このため，この操作はあまり使う機会が無い．

import pandas as pd

l2d = [['January', 'UK', 27, 'f'],
      ['September', 'Spain', 28, 'f'],
      ['September', 'Jamaica', 28, 'f'],
      ['November', 'Italy', 22, 'f'],
      ['February', 'France', 19, 'f']]

df = pd.DataFrame(l2d)
df.columns = ["Birth Month", "Origin", "Age", "Gender"]
df.index = ["Carly", "Rachel", "Nicky", "Wendy", "Judith"]

Output

Birth Month   Origin Age Gender
Carly      January       UK  27      f
Rachel   September    Spain  28      f
Nicky    September  Jamaica  28      f
Wendy     November    Italy  22      f
Judith    February   France  19      f
