I have a dataframe that looks like this:
A B C
1 1 8 3
2 5 4 3
3 5 8 1
and I want to count the values so to make df like this:
total
1 2
3 2
4 1
5 2
8 2
is it possible with pandas?
With np.unique -
In [332]: df
Out[332]:
A B C
1 1 8 3
2 5 4 3
3 5 8 1
In [333]: ids, c = np.unique(df.values.ravel(), return_counts=1)
In [334]: pd.DataFrame({'total':c}, index=ids)
Out[334]:
total
1 2
3 2
4 1
5 2
8 2
With pandas-series -
In [357]: pd.Series(np.ravel(df)).value_counts().sort_index()
Out[357]:
1 2
3 2
4 1
5 2
8 2
dtype: int64
You can also use stack() and groupby()
df = pd.DataFrame({'A':[1,8,3],'B':[5,4,3],'C':[5,8,1]})
print(df)
A B C
0 1 5 5
1 8 4 8
2 3 3 1
df1 = df.stack().reset_index(1)
df1.groupby(0).count()
level_1
0
1 2
3 2
4 1
5 2
8 2
Other alternative may be to use stack, followed by value_counts then, result changed to frame and finally sorting the index:
count_df = df.stack().value_counts().to_frame('total').sort_index()
count_df
Result:
total
1 2
3 2
4 1
5 2
8 2
using np.unique(, return_counts=True) and np.column_stack():
pd.DataFrame(np.column_stack(np.unique(df, return_counts=True)))
returns:
0 1
0 1 2
1 3 2
2 4 1
3 5 2
4 8 2
