Detail: FrameGO: Constructor

Overview: FrameGO: Constructor

FrameGO.__init__(data=<object object>, *, index=None, columns=None, name=<object object>, index_constructor=None, columns_constructor=None, own_data=False, own_index=False, own_columns=False)

Initializer.

Parameters:
  • data – Default Frame initialization requires typed data such as a NumPy array. All other initialization should use specialized constructors.

  • index – Optional index initializer. If provided in addition to data values, lengths must be compatible.

  • columns – Optional column initializer. If provided in addition to data values, lengths must be compatible.

  • index_constructor

  • columns_constructor

  • own_data – Flag the data values as ownable by this static_frame.Frame. Primarily used by internal clients.

  • own_index – Flag the passed index as ownable by this static_frame.Frame. Primarily used by internal clients.

  • own_columns – Flag the passed columns as ownable by this static_frame.Frame. Primarily used by internal clients.

Realize a Frame from an Arrow Table.

Parameters:
  • value – A pyarrow.Table instance.

  • index_depth – integer specification of how many columns to use in forming the index. A value of 0 will select none; a value greater than 1 will create an IndexHierarchy.

  • columns_depth – integer specification of how many rows to use in forming the columns. A value of 0 will select none; a value greater than 1 will create an IndexHierarchy.

  • dtypes – Optionally provide an iterable of dtypes, equal in length to the length of each row, or a mapping by column name (where overspecied labels is not an error). If a dtype is given as None, element-wise type determination will be used.

  • name – A hashable object to label the container.

  • consolidate_blocks – Optionally consolidate adjacent same-typed columns into contiguous arrays.

  • axis – Integer specifying 0 to concatenate supplied Frames vertically (aligning on columns), 1 to concatenate horizontally (aligning on rows).

  • union – If True, the union of the aligned indices is used; if False, the intersection is used.

  • index – Optionally specify a new index.

  • columns – Optionally specify new columns.

  • index_constructor – Optionally apply a constructor to the derived or passed labels.

  • columns_constructor – Optionally apply a constructor to the derived or passed labels.

Create a Frame from a file path or a file-like object defining a delimited (CSV, TSV) data file.

Parameters:
  • fp – A file path or a file-like object.

  • delimiter – The character used to seperate row elements.

  • index_depth – Specify the number of columns used to create the index labels; a value greater than 1 will attempt to create a hierarchical index.

  • index_column_first – Optionally specify a column, by position in the realized columns, to become the start of the index if index_depth is greater than 0 and columns_depth is 0.

  • index_name_depth_level – If columns_depth is greater than 0, interpret values over index as the index name.

  • index_constructors

  • index_continuation_token

  • columns_depth – Specify the number of rows after the skip_header used to create the column labels. A value of 0 will be no header; a value greater than 1 will attempt to create a hierarchical index.

  • columns_name_depth_level – If index_depth is greater than 0, interpret values over index as the columns name.

  • columns_constructors

  • columns_continuation_token

  • columns_select – an iterable of columns to select by label or position; can only be used if index_depth is 0.

  • skip_header – Number of leading lines to skip.

  • skip_footer – Number of trailing lines to skip.

  • store_filter – A StoreFilter instance, defining translation between unrepresentable strings and types. By default it is disabled, and only empty fields or “NAN” are intepreted as NaN. To force usage, set the type of the column to string.

  • dtypes – Optionally provide an iterable of dtypes, equal in length to the length of each row, or a mapping by column name (where overspecied labels is not an error). If a dtype is given as None, element-wise type determination will be used.

  • name – A hashable object to label the container.

  • consolidate_blocks – Optionally consolidate adjacent same-typed columns into contiguous arrays.

This function is partialed (setting the index and columns) and used by IterNodeDelegate as the apply constructor for doing application on element iteration.

Parameters:
  • items – an iterable of pairs of 2-tuples of row, column loc labels and values.

  • axis – when None, items can be in an order; when 0, items must be well-formed and ordered row major; when 1, items must be well-formed and ordered columns major.

Returns:

static_frame.Frame

Frame constructor from an iterator of columns, where columns are iterables. Series can be provided as values if an index argument is supplied. This constructor is similar to from_items(), though here columns are provided through an independent columns argument.

Parameters:
  • fields – Iterable of column values.

  • index – Iterable of values to create an Index.

  • fill_value – If pairs include Series, they will be reindexed with the provided index; reindexing will use this fill value.

  • dtypes – Optionally provide an iterable of dtypes, equal in length to the length of each row, or a mapping by column name (where overspecied labels is not an error). If a dtype is given as None, element-wise type determination will be used.

  • name – A hashable object to label the container.

  • consolidate_blocks – Optionally consolidate adjacent same-typed columns into contiguous arrays.

Returns:

classmethod FrameGO.from_items(pairs, *, index=None, fill_value=nan, dtypes=None, name=None, index_constructor=None, columns_constructor=None, consolidate_blocks=False)

Frame constructor from an iterator of pairs, where the first value is the column label and the second value is an iterable of column values. Series can be provided as values if an index argument is supplied.

Parameters:
  • pairs – Iterable of pairs of column name, column values.

  • index – Iterable of values to create an Index.

  • fill_value – If pairs include Series, they will be reindexed with the provided index; reindexing will use this fill value.

classmethod FrameGO.from_json_values(json_data, *, index=None, columns=None, dtypes=None, name=None, consolidate_blocks=False, index_constructor=None, columns_constructor=None)

Frame constructor from an in-memory JSON document in the following format: A JSON array of arrays of row values; no index or columns labels are included.

Parameters:
  • json_data – a string or StringIO of JSON data

  • dtypes – Optionally provide an iterable of dtypes, equal in length to the length of each row, or a mapping by column name (where overspecied labels is not an error). If a dtype is given as None, element-wise type determination will be used.

  • name – A hashable object to label the container.

  • consolidate_blocks – Optionally consolidate adjacent same-typed columns into contiguous arrays.

Returns:

classmethod FrameGO.from_overlay(containers, *, index=None, columns=None, union=True, name=None, func=<function isna_array>, fill_value=<object object>)

Return a new Frame made by overlaying containers, filling in values with aligned values from subsequent containers. Values are filled based on a passed function that must return a Boolean array. By default, that function is isna_array, returning True for missing values (NaN and None).

Parameters:
  • containers – Iterable of Frame.

  • index – An optional Index, IndexHierarchy, or index initializer, to be used as the index upon which all containers are aligned. IndexAutoFactory is not supported.

  • columns – An optional Index, IndexHierarchy, or columns initializer, to be used as the columns upon which all containers are aligned. IndexAutoFactory is not supported.

  • union – If True, and no index or columns argument is supplied, a union index or columns from containers will be used; if False, the intersection index or columns will be used.

  • name

  • func – A function that takes an array and returns a same-sized Boolean array, where True indicates availability for insertion.

classmethod FrameGO.from_records(records, *, index=None, columns=None, dtypes=None, name=None, consolidate_blocks=False, index_constructor=None, columns_constructor=None, own_index=False, own_columns=False)

Construct a Frame from an iterable of rows, where rows are defined as iterables, including tuples, lists, and arrays. If each row is a NamedTuple, and columns is not provided, column names will be derived from the NamedTuple fields.

Supplying dtypes will significantly improve performance, as otherwise columnar array types must be derived by element-wise examination.

For records defined as Series, use Frame.from_concat; for records defined as dictionary, use Frame.from_dict_records; for creating a Frame from a single dictionary, where keys are column labels and values are columns, use Frame.from_dict.

Parameters:
  • records – Iterable of row values, where row values are arrays, tuples, lists, or namedtuples. For dictionary records, use Frame.from_dict_records.

  • index – Optionally provide an iterable of index labels, equal in length to the number of records. If a generator, this value will not be evaluated until after records are loaded.

  • columns – Optionally provide an iterable of column labels, equal in length to the number of elements in a row.

  • dtypes – Optionally provide an iterable of dtypes, equal in length to the length of each row, or a mapping by column name (where overspecied labels is not an error). If a dtype is given as None, element-wise type determination will be used.

  • name – A hashable object to label the container.

  • consolidate_blocks – Optionally consolidate adjacent same-typed columns into contiguous arrays.

Returns:

classmethod FrameGO.from_records_items(items, *, columns=None, dtypes=None, name=None, consolidate_blocks=False, index_constructor=None, columns_constructor=None, own_columns=False)

Frame constructor from iterable of pairs of index value, row (where row is an iterable).

Parameters:
  • items – Iterable of pairs of index label, row values, where row values are arrays, tuples, lists, dictionaries, or namedtuples.

  • columns – Optionally provide an iterable of column labels, equal in length to the length of each row.

  • dtypes – Optionally provide an iterable of dtypes, equal in length to the length of each row, or a mapping by column name (where overspecied labels is not an error). If a dtype is given as None, element-wise type determination will be used.

  • name – A hashable object to label the container.

  • consolidate_blocks – Optionally consolidate adjacent same-typed columns into contiguous arrays.

Returns:

Parameters:
  • array – Structured NumPy array.

  • index_depth – Depth if index levels, where (for example) 0 is no index, 1 is a single column index, and 2 is a two-columns IndexHierarchy.

  • index_column_first – Optionally provide the name or position offset of the column to use as the index.

  • dtypes – Optionally provide an iterable of dtypes, equal in length to the length of each row, or a mapping by column name (where overspecied labels is not an error). If a dtype is given as None, element-wise type determination will be used.

  • name – A hashable object to label the container.

  • consolidate_blocks – Optionally consolidate adjacent same-typed columns into contiguous arrays.
