Python | Pandas TimedeltaIndex.value_counts()

0 0 1 minute read

Python is a great language for doing data analysis, primarily because of the fantastic ecosystem of data-centric python packages. Pandas is one of those packages and makes importing and analyzing data much easier.

Pandas TimedeltaIndex.value_counts() function return an object containing counts of unique values. The resulting object will be in descending order so that the first element is the most frequently-occurring element. Excludes NA values by default.

Syntax : TimedeltaIndex.value_counts(normalize=False, sort=True, ascending=False, bins=None, dropna=True)

Parameters :
normalize : (boolean, default False) If True then the object returned will contain the relative frequencies of the unique values.
sort : (boolean, default True) Sort by values
ascending : (boolean, default False) Sort in ascending order
bins: (integer, optional) Rather than count values, group them into half-open bins, a convenience for pd.cut, only works with numeric data
dropna : (boolean, default True) Don’t include counts of NaN.

Return : counts : Series

Example #1: Use TimedeltaIndex.value_counts() function to count the occurrence of each unique values in the given TimedeltaIndex object.

# importing pandas as pd 
import pandas as pd 
  
# Create the TimedeltaIndex object 
tidx = pd.TimedeltaIndex(data =['06:05:01.000030', '+23:59:59.999999', 
                        '22 day 2 min 3us 10ns', '06:05:01.000030', 
                        '+12:19:59.999999']) 
  
# Print the TimedeltaIndex object 
print(tidx) 

Output :

Now we will use the TimedeltaIndex.value_counts() function to find the count of occurrence of each unique values in the tidx object.

# count occurrences 
tidx.value_counts() 

Output :

As we can see in the output, the TimedeltaIndex.value_counts() function has returned an the count of all unique values in the given TimedeltaIndex object.

Example #2: Use TimedeltaIndex.value_counts() function to count the occurrence of each unique values in the given TimedeltaIndex object.

# importing pandas as pd 
import pandas as pd 
  
# Create the TimedeltaIndex object 
tidx = pd.TimedeltaIndex(data =['3 days 06:05:01.000030', '1 days 06:05:01.000030', 
                        '3 days 06:05:01.000030', '1 days 06:05:01.000030', 
                        '21 days 06:15:01.000030']) 
  
# Print the TimedeltaIndex object 
print(tidx) 

Output :

Now we will use the TimedeltaIndex.value_counts() function to find the count of occurrence of each unique values in the tidx object.

# count occurrences 
tidx.value_counts() 

Output :

As we can see in the output, the TimedeltaIndex.value_counts() function has returned an the count of all unique values in the given TimedeltaIndex object.
