How to access multi columns in the rolling operato

问题:

I want to do some rolling window calculation in pandas which need to deal with two columns at the same time. I'll take an simple instance to express the problem clearly:

import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({
    'x': [1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 5, 4, 6, 7, 9],
    'y': [4, 3, 4, 6, 5, 9, 1, 3, 1, 2]
})

windowSize = 4
result = []

for i in range(1, len(df)+1):
    if i < windowSize:
        result.append(None)
    else:
        x = df.x.iloc[i-windowSize:i]
        y = df.y.iloc[i-windowSize:i]
        m = y.mean()
        r = sum(x[y > m]) / sum(x[y <= m])
        result.append(r)

print(result)

Is there any way without for loop in pandas to solve the problem? Any help is appreciated

Here's one vectorized approach using NumPy tools -

windowSize = 4
a = df.values
X = strided_app(a[:,0],windowSize,1)
Y = strided_app(a[:,1],windowSize,1)
M = Y.mean(1)
mask = Y>M[:,None]
sums = np.einsum('ij,ij->i',X,mask)
rest_sums = X.sum(1) - sums
out = sums/rest_sums

strided_app is taken from here.

Approaches -

# @kazemakase's solution
def rolling_window_sum(df, windowSize=4):
    rw = rolling_window(df.values.T, windowSize)
    m = np.mean(rw[1], axis=-1, keepdims=True)
    a = np.sum(rw[0] * (rw[1] > m), axis=-1)
    b = np.sum(rw[0] * (rw[1] <= m), axis=-1)
    result = a / b
    return result    

# Proposed in this post    
def strided_einsum(df, windowSize=4):
    a = df.values
    X = strided_app(a[:,0],windowSize,1)
    Y = strided_app(a[:,1],windowSize,1)
    M = Y.mean(1)
    mask = Y>M[:,None]
    sums = np.einsum('ij,ij->i',X,mask)
    rest_sums = X.sum(1) - sums
    out = sums/rest_sums
    return out

Timings -

In [46]: df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randint(0,9,(1000000,2)))

In [47]: %timeit rolling_window_sum(df)
10 loops, best of 3: 90.4 ms per loop

In [48]: %timeit strided_einsum(df)
10 loops, best of 3: 62.2 ms per loop

To squeeze in more performance, we can compute the Y.mean(1) part, which is basically a windowed summation with Scipy's 1D uniform filter. Thus, M could be alternatively computed for windowSize=4 as -

from scipy.ndimage.filters import uniform_filter1d as unif1d

M = unif1d(a[:,1].astype(float),windowSize)[2:-1]

The performance gains are significant -

In [65]: %timeit strided_einsum(df)
10 loops, best of 3: 61.5 ms per loop

In [66]: %timeit strided_einsum_unif_filter(df)
10 loops, best of 3: 49.4 ms per loop

You can use the rolling window trick for numpy arrays and apply it to the array underlying the DataFrame.

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

def rolling_window(a, window):
    shape = a.shape[:-1] + (a.shape[-1] - window + 1, window)
    strides = a.strides + (a.strides[-1],)
    return np.lib.stride_tricks.as_strided(a, shape=shape, strides=strides)

df = pd.DataFrame({
    'x': [1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 5, 4, 6, 7, 9],
    'y': [4, 3, 4, 6, 5, 9, 1, 3, 1, 2]
})

windowSize = 4    

rw = rolling_window(df.values.T, windowSize)
m = np.mean(rw[1], axis=-1, keepdims=True)
a = np.sum(rw[0] * (rw[1] > m), axis=-1)
b = np.sum(rw[0] * (rw[1] <= m), axis=-1)
result = a / b

The result lacks the leading None values, but they should be easy to append (in form of np.nan or after converting the result to a list).

This is probably not what you are looking for, working with pandas, but it will get the job done without loops.
