Počty výskytů plemene:
dogs["breed"] = dogs["breed"].astype("category")
dogs["breed"].value_counts()
Unknown Mix 1524
German Shepherd Dog Mix 190
Dachshund Mix 147
Labrador Retriever Mix 83
Staffordshire Terrier Mix 62
...
Metoda rename_categories:
Series.cat.rename_categories(new_categories=dict)
Vytvoření slovníku:
my_changes = {"Unknown Mix": "Unknown"}
Přejmenování kategorie:
dogs["breed"] = dogs["breed"].cat.rename_categories(my_changes)
Počty výskytů plemene:
dogs["breed"].value_counts()
Unknown 1524
German Shepherd Dog Mix 190
Dachshund Mix 147
Labrador Retriever Mix 83
Staffordshire Terrier Mix 62
...
Více změn najednou:
my_changes = {
old_name1: new_name1,
old_name2: new_name2,
...
}
Series.cat.rename_categories(
my_changes
)
Aktualizace více kategorií:
dogs['sex'] = dogs['sex'].cat.rename_categories(lambda c: c.title())dogs['sex'].cat.categories
Index(['Female', 'Male'], dtype='object')
# Does not work! "Unknown" already exists
use_new_categories = {"Unknown Mix": "Unknown"}
# Does not work! New names must be unique
cannot_repeat_categories = {
"Unknown Mix": "Unknown",
"Mixed Breed": "Unknown"
}
Barva psa:
dogs["color"] = dogs["color"].astype("category")
print(dogs["color"].cat.categories)
Index(['apricot', 'black', 'black and brown', 'black and tan',
'black and white', 'brown', 'brown and white', 'dotted', 'golden',
'gray', 'gray and black', 'gray and white', 'red', 'red and white',
'sable', 'saddle back', 'spotty', 'striped', 'tricolor', 'white',
'wild boar', 'yellow', 'yellow-brown'],
dtype='object')
...
Vytvoření slovníku a použití .replace:
update_colors = {
"black and brown": "black",
"black and tan": "black",
"black and white": "black",
}
dogs["main_color"] = dogs["color"].replace(update_colors)
Kontrola datového typu Series:
dogs["main_color"].dtype
dtype('O')
dogs["main_color"] = dogs["main_color"].astype("category")
dogs["main_color"].cat.categories
Index(['apricot', 'black', 'brown', 'brown and white', 'dotted', 'golden',
'gray', 'gray and black', 'gray and white', 'red', 'red and white',
'sable', 'saddle back', 'spotty', 'striped', 'tricolor', 'white',
'wild boar', 'yellow', 'yellow-brown'],
dtype='object')
