问题:

I see the solution in R but not in python. If the question is duplicate, please point me to the previous asked question/solution.

I have a dataframe as following.

df = pd.DataFrame({'col1': ['a','b','c','c','d','e','a','h','i','a'],'col2':['3:00','3:00','4:00','4:00','3:00','5:00','5:00','3:00','3:00','2:00']})

df
Out[83]: 
  col1  col2
0    a  3:00
1    b  3:00
2    c  4:00
3    c  4:00
4    d  3:00
5    e  5:00
6    a  5:00
7    h  3:00
8    i  3:00
9    a  2:00

What I'd like to do is groupby 'col1' and assign a unique ID to different values in col2 as following:

col1  col2  ID
 a    2:00   0
 a    3:00   1
 a    5:00   2
 b    3:00   0
 c    4:00   0
 c    4:00   0
 ...

I tried to use pd.Categorical but can't quite get to where I wanted to be. Would appreciate any help. Thanks.

回答1:

we can use pd.factorize() method:

In [170]: df['ID'] = df.groupby('col1')['col2'].transform(lambda x: pd.factorize(x)[0])

In [171]: df
Out[171]:
  col1  col2  ID
0    a  3:00   0
1    b  3:00   0
2    c  4:00   0
3    c  4:00   0
4    d  3:00   0
5    e  5:00   0
6    a  5:00   1
7    h  3:00   0
8    i  3:00   0
9    a  2:00   2
