dataframe index groupby code example

Example 1: groupby as_index=false

When you use as_index=False , you indicate to groupby() that you don't want to set the column ID as the index (duh!). ... Using as_index=True allows you to apply a sum over axis=1 without specifying the names of the columns, then summing the value over axis 0.

Example 2: groupby in pandas

>>> df = pd.DataFrame({'Animal': ['Falcon', 'Falcon',
...                               'Parrot', 'Parrot'],
...                    'Max Speed': [380., 370., 24., 26.]})
>>> df
   Animal  Max Speed
0  Falcon      380.0
1  Falcon      370.0
2  Parrot       24.0
3  Parrot       26.0
>>> df.groupby(['Animal']).mean()
        Max Speed
Animal
Falcon      375.0
Parrot       25.0
