#Percent change

Series and DataFrame have a method pct_change()to compute the percent change over a given number of periods (using fill_method to fill NA/null values before computing the percent change).

#Covariance

Series.cov()can be used to compute covariance between series (excluding missing values).

In [5]: s1 = pd.Series(np.random.randn(1000))

In [6]: s2 = pd.Series(np.random.randn(1000))

In [7]: s1.cov(s2)
Out[7]: 0.000680108817431082

Analogously, DataFrame.cov()to compute pairwise covariances among the series in the DataFrame, also excluding NA/null values.

Note

Assuming the missing data are missing at random this results in an estimate for the covariance matrix which is unbiased. However, for many applications this estimate may not be acceptable because the estimated covariance matrix is not guaranteed to be positive semi-definite. This could lead to estimated correlations having absolute values which are greater than one, and/or a non-invertible covariance matrix. See Estimation of covariance matricesfor more details.

In [8]: frame = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(1000, 5),
   ...:                      columns=['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'])
   ...: 

In [9]: frame.cov()
Out[9]:

DataFrame.cov also supports an optional min_periods keyword that specifies the required minimum number of observations for each column pair in order to have a valid result.

In [10]: frame = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(20, 3), columns=['a', 'b', 'c'])

In [11]: frame.loc[frame.index[:5], 'a'] = np.nan

In [12]: frame.loc[frame.index[5:10], 'b'] = np.nan

#Correlation

Correlation may be computed using the corr()method. Using the method parameter, several methods for computing correlations are provided:

Method nameDescription
pearson (default)Standard correlation coefficient
kendallKendall Tau correlation coefficient
spearmanSpearman rank correlation coefficient

All of these are currently computed using pairwise complete observations. Wikipedia has articles covering the above correlation coefficients:

  • Pearson correlation coefficient
  • Kendall rank correlation coefficient
  • Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient
  • Note

Please see the caveats associated with this method of calculating correlation matrices in the covariance section.

In [15]: frame = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(1000, 5),
   ....:                      columns=['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'])
   ....: 

In [16]: frame.iloc[::2] = np.nan

Note that non-numeric columns will be automatically excluded from the correlation calculation.

Like covcorr also supports the optional min_periods keyword:

In [20]: frame = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(20, 3), columns=['a', 'b', 'c'])

In [21]: frame.loc[frame.index[:5], 'a'] = np.nan

In [22]: frame.loc[frame.index[5:10], 'b'] = np.nan

In [23]: frame.corr()
Out[23]: 
          a         b         c
a  1.000000 -0.121111  0.069544
b -0.121111  1.000000  0.051742
c  0.069544  0.051742  1.000000

In [24]: frame.corr(min_periods=12)
Out[24]: 
          a         b         c
a  1.000000       NaN  0.069544
b       NaN  1.000000  0.051742
c  0.069544  0.051742  1.000000

New in version 0.24.0.

The method argument can also be a callable for a generic correlation calculation. In this case, it should be a single function that produces a single value from two ndarray inputs. Suppose we wanted to compute the correlation based on histogram intersection:

# histogram intersection
In [25]: def histogram_intersection(a, b):
   ....:     return np.minimum(np.true_divide(a, a.sum()),
   ....:                       np.true_divide(b, b.sum())).sum()
   ....: 

In [26]: frame.corr(method=histogram_intersection)
Out[26]: 
          a          b          c
a  1.000000  -6.404882  -2.058431
b -6.404882   1.000000 -19.255743
c -2.058431 -19.255743   1.000000

A related method corrwith()is implemented on DataFrame to compute the correlation between like-labeled Series contained in different DataFrame objects.

In [27]: index = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']

In [28]: columns = ['one', 'two', 'three', 'four']

In [29]: df1 = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(5, 4), index=index, columns=columns)

In [30]: df2 = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(4, 4), index=index[:4], columns=columns)

In [31]: df1.corrwith(df2)
Out[31]: 
one     -0.125501
two     -0.493244
three    0.344056
four     0.004183

In [32]: df2.corrwith(df1, axis=1)
Out[32]: 
a   -0.675817
b    0.458296
c    0.190809
d   -0.186275
e         NaN
dtype: float64

#Data ranking

The rank()method produces a data ranking with ties being assigned the mean of the ranks (by default) for the group:

In [33]: s = pd.Series(np.random.np.random.randn(5), index=list('abcde'))

In [34]: s['d'] = s['b']  # so there's a tie

In [35]: s.rank()
Out[35]: 
a    5.0
b    2.5
c    1.0
d    2.5
e    4.0
dtype: float64

rank()is also a DataFrame method and can rank either the rows (axis=0) or the columns (axis=1). NaN values are excluded from the ranking.

In [36]: df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.np.random.randn(10, 6))

In [37]: df[4] = df[2][:5]  # some ties

In [38]: df

rank optionally takes a parameter ascending which by default is true; when false, data is reverse-ranked, with larger values assigned a smaller rank.

rank supports different tie-breaking methods, specified with the method parameter:

  • average : average rank of tied group
  • min : lowest rank in the group
  • max : highest rank in the group
  • first : ranks assigned in the order they appear in the array

#Window Functions

For working with data, a number of window functions are provided for computing common window or rolling statistics. Among these are count, sum, mean, median, correlation, variance, covariance, standard deviation, skewness, and kurtosis.

The rolling() and expanding() functions can be used directly from DataFrameGroupBy objects, see the groupby docs.

Note

The API for window statistics is quite similar to the way one works with GroupBy objects, see the documentation here.

We work with rollingexpanding and exponentially weighted data through the corresponding objects, RollingExpanding and EWM.

In [40]: s = pd.Series(np.random.randn(1000),

These are created from methods on Series and DataFrame.

In [43]: r = s.rolling(window=60)

In [44]: r
Out[44]: Rolling [window=60,center=False,axis=0]

These object provide tab-completion of the available methods and properties.

In [14]: r.<TAB>                                          # noqa: E225, E999

Generally these methods all have the same interface. They all accept the following arguments:

  • window: size of moving window
  • min_periods: threshold of non-null data points to require (otherwise result is NA)
  • center: boolean, whether to set the labels at the center (default is False)

We can then call methods on these rolling objects. These return like-indexed objects:

#Method summary

We provide a number of common statistical functions:

MethodDescription
count()Number of non-null observations
sum()Sum of values
mean()Mean of values
median()Arithmetic median of values
min()Minimum
max()Maximum
std()Bessel-corrected sample standard deviation
var()Unbiased variance
skew()Sample skewness (3rd moment)
kurt()Sample kurtosis (4th moment)
quantile()Sample quantile (value at %)
apply()Generic apply
cov()Unbiased covariance (binary)
corr()Correlation (binary)

The apply()function takes an extra func argument and performs generic rolling computations. The func argument should be a single function that produces a single value from an ndarray input. Suppose we wanted to compute the mean absolute deviation on a rolling basis:

In [51]: def mad(x):
   ....:     return np.fabs(x - x.mean()).mean()
   ....: 

In [52]: s.rolling(window=60).apply(mad, raw=True).plot(style='k')
Out[52]: <matplotlib.axes._subplots.AxesSubplot at 0x7f65f795fac8>

#Rolling windows

Passing win_type to .rolling generates a generic rolling window computation, that is weighted according the win_type. The following methods are available:

MethodDescription
sum()Sum of values
mean()Mean of values

The weights used in the window are specified by the win_type keyword. The list of recognized types are the scipy.signal window functions:

  • boxcar
  • triang
  • blackman
  • hamming
  • bartlett
  • parzen
  • bohman
  • blackmanharris
  • nuttall
  • barthann
  • kaiser (needs beta)
  • gaussian (needs std)
  • general_gaussian (needs power, width)
  • slepian (needs width)
  • exponential (needs tau).

Note

For .sum() with a win_type, there is no normalization done to the weights for the window. Passing custom weights of [1, 1, 1] will yield a different result than passing weights of [2, 2, 2], for example. When passing a win_type instead of explicitly specifying the weights, the weights are already normalized so that the largest weight is 1.

In contrast, the nature of the .mean() calculation is such that the weights are normalized with respect to each other. Weights of [1, 1, 1] and [2, 2, 2] yield the same result.

#Time-aware rolling

New in version 0.19.0.

New in version 0.19.0 are the ability to pass an offset (or convertible) to a .rolling() method and have it produce variable sized windows based on the passed time window. For each time point, this includes all preceding values occurring within the indicated time delta.

This can be particularly useful for a non-regular time frequency index.

#Rolling window endpoints

New in version 0.20.0.

The inclusion of the interval endpoints in rolling window calculations can be specified with the closed parameter:

closedDescriptionDefault for
rightclose right endpointtime-based windows
leftclose left endpoint
bothclose both endpointsfixed windows
neitheropen endpoints

For example, having the right endpoint open is useful in many problems that require that there is no contamination from present information back to past information. This allows the rolling window to compute statistics “up to that point in time”, but not including that point in time.

In [70]: df = pd.DataFrame({'x': 1},
   ....:                   index=[pd.Timestamp('20130101 09:00:01'),

In [75]: df

Currently, this feature is only implemented for time-based windows. For fixed windows, the closed parameter cannot be set and the rolling window will always have both endpoints closed.

#Time-aware rolling vs. resampling

Using .rolling() with a time-based index is quite similar to resampling. They both operate and perform reductive operations on time-indexed pandas objects.

When using .rolling() with an offset. The offset is a time-delta. Take a backwards-in-time looking window, and aggregate all of the values in that window (including the end-point, but not the start-point). This is the new value at that point in the result. These are variable sized windows in time-space for each point of the input. You will get a same sized result as the input.

When using .resample() with an offset. Construct a new index that is the frequency of the offset. For each frequency bin, aggregate points from the input within a backwards-in-time looking window that fall in that bin. The result of this aggregation is the output for that frequency point. The windows are fixed size in the frequency space. Your result will have the shape of a regular frequency between the min and the max of the original input object.

To summarize, .rolling() is a time-based window operation, while .resample() is a frequency-based window operation.

#Centering windows

By default the labels are set to the right edge of the window, but a center keyword is available so the labels can be set at the center.

#Binary window functions

cov()and corr()can compute moving window statistics about two Series or any combination of DataFrame/Series or DataFrame/DataFrame. Here is the behavior in each case:

  • two Series: compute the statistic for the pairing.
  • DataFrame/Series: compute the statistics for each column of the DataFrame with the passed Series, thus returning a DataFrame.
  • DataFrame/DataFrame: by default compute the statistic for matching column names, returning a DataFrame. If the keyword argument pairwise=True is passed then computes the statistic for each pair of columns, returning a MultiIndexed DataFrame whose index are the dates in question (see the next section).

For example:

In [78]: df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(1000, 4),
   ....:                   index=pd.date_range('1/1/2000', periods=1000),

#Computing rolling pairwise covariances and correlations

In financial data analysis and other fields it’s common to compute covariance and correlation matrices for a collection of time series. Often one is also interested in moving-window covariance and correlation matrices. This can be done by passing the pairwise keyword argument, which in the case of DataFrame inputs will yield a MultiIndexed DataFrame whose index are the dates in question. In the case of a single DataFrame argument the pairwise argument can even be omitted:

Note

Missing values are ignored and each entry is computed using the pairwise complete observations. Please see the covariance section for caveats associated with this method of calculating covariance and correlation matrices.

Passing a dict of functions has different behavior by default, see the next section.

#Applying different functions to DataFrame columns

By passing a dict to aggregate you can apply a different aggregation to the columns of a DataFrame:

In [95]: r.agg({'A': np.sum, 'B': lambda x: np.std(x, ddof=1)})
Out[95]: 
                   A         B

[1000 rows x 2 columns]

The function names can also be strings. In order for a string to be valid it must be implemented on the windowed object

In [96]: r.agg({'A': 'sum', 'B': 'std'})
Out[96]: 
                   A         B

#Expanding windows

A common alternative to rolling statistics is to use an expanding window, which yields the value of the statistic with all the data available up to that point in time.

These follow a similar interface to .rolling, with the .expanding method returning an Expanding object.

As these calculations are a special case of rolling statistics, they are implemented in pandas such that the following two calls are equivalent:

In [98]: df.rolling(window=len(df), min_periods=1).mean()[:5]
Out[98]: 
                   A         B         C         D
2000-01-01  0.314226 -0.001675  0.071823  0.892566
2000-01-02  0.654522 -0.171495  0.179278  0.853361
2000-01-03  0.708733 -0.064489 -0.238271  1.371111
2000-01-04  0.987613  0.163472 -0.919693  1.566485
2000-01-05  1.426971  0.288267 -1.358877  1.808650

In [99]: df.expanding(min_periods=1).mean()[:5]
Out[99]: 
                   A         B         C         D
2000-01-01  0.314226 -0.001675  0.071823  0.892566
2000-01-02  0.654522 -0.171495  0.179278  0.853361
2000-01-03  0.708733 -0.064489 -0.238271  1.371111
2000-01-04  0.987613  0.163472 -0.919693  1.566485
2000-01-05  1.426971  0.288267 -1.358877  1.808650

These have a similar set of methods to .rolling methods.

#Method summary

FunctionDescription
count()Number of non-null observations
sum()Sum of values
mean()Mean of values
median()Arithmetic median of values
min()Minimum
max()Maximum
std()Unbiased standard deviation
var()Unbiased variance
skew()Unbiased skewness (3rd moment)
kurt()Unbiased kurtosis (4th moment)
quantile()Sample quantile (value at %)
apply()Generic apply
cov()Unbiased covariance (binary)
corr()Correlation (binary)

Aside from not having a window parameter, these functions have the same interfaces as their .rolling counterparts. Like above, the parameters they all accept are:

  • min_periods: threshold of non-null data points to require. Defaults to minimum needed to compute statistic. No NaNs will be output once min_periods non-null data points have been seen.
  • center: boolean, whether to set the labels at the center (default is False).

Note

The output of the .rolling and .expanding methods do not return a NaN if there are at least min_periods non-null values in the current window. For example:

In [100]: sn = pd.Series([1, 2, np.nan, 3, np.nan, 4])

In [101]: sn
Out[101]: 
0    1.0
1    2.0
2    NaN
3    3.0
4    NaN
5    4.0
dtype: float64

In [102]: sn.rolling(2).max()
Out[102]: 
0    NaN
1    2.0
2    NaN
3    NaN
4    NaN
5    NaN
dtype: float64

In [103]: sn.rolling(2, min_periods=1).max()
Out[103]: 
0    1.0
1    2.0
2    2.0
3    3.0
4    3.0
5    4.0
dtype: float64

In case of expanding functions, this differs from cumsum()cumprod() cummax() and cummin() which return NaN in the output wherever a NaN is encountered in the input. In order to match the output of cumsum with expanding, use fillna()

In [104]: sn.expanding().sum()
Out[104]: 
0     1.0
1     3.0
2     3.0
3     6.0
4     6.0
5    10.0
dtype: float64

In [105]: sn.cumsum()
Out[105]: 
0     1.0
1     3.0
2     NaN
3     6.0
4     NaN
5    10.0
dtype: float64

In [106]: sn.cumsum().fillna(method='ffill')
Out[106]: 
0     1.0
1     3.0
2     3.0
3     6.0
4     6.0
5    10.0
dtype: float64

An expanding window statistic will be more stable (and less responsive) than its rolling window counterpart as the increasing window size decreases the relative impact of an individual data point. As an example, here is the mean( output for the previous time series dataset:

In [107]: s.plot(style='k--')
Out[107]: <matplotlib.axes._subplots.AxesSubplot at 0x7f6607b14400>

In [108]: s.expanding().mean().plot(style='k')
Out[108]: <matplotlib.axes._subplots.AxesSubplot at 0x7f6607b14400>

#Exponentially weighted windows

A related set of functions are exponentially weighted versions of several of the above statistics. A similar interface to .rolling and .expanding is accessed through the .ewm method to receive an EWM object. A number of expanding EW (exponentially weighted) methods are provided:

FunctionDescription
mean()EW moving average
var()EW moving variance
std()EW moving standard deviation
corr()EW moving correlation
cov()EW moving covariance

In general, a weighted moving average is calculated as

yt=∑ti=0wixt−i∑ti=0wi,yt=∑i=0twixt−i∑i=0twi,

where xtxt is the input, ytyt is the result and the wiwi are the weights.

The EW functions support two variants of exponential weights. The default, adjust=True, uses the weights wi=(1−α)iwi=(1−α)i which gives

yt=xt+(1−α)xt−1+(1−α)2xt−2+...+(1−α)tx01+(1−α)+(1−α)2+...+(1−α)tyt=xt+(1−α)xt−1+(1−α)2xt−2+...+(1−α)tx01+(1−α)+(1−α)2+...+(1−α)t

When adjust=False is specified, moving averages are calculated as

y0yt=x0=(1−α)yt−1+αxt,y0=x0yt=(1−α)yt−1+αxt,

which is equivalent to using weights

wi={α(1−α)i(1−α)iif i<tif i=t.wi={α(1−α)iif i<t(1−α)iif i=t.

Note

These equations are sometimes written in terms of α′=1−αα′=1−α, e.g.

yt=α′yt−1+(1−α′)xt.yt=α′yt−1+(1−α′)xt.

The difference between the above two variants arises because we are dealing with series which have finite history. Consider a series of infinite history, with adjust=True:

yt=α′yt−1+(1−α′)xt.yt=α′yt−1+(1−α′)xt.

Noting that the denominator is a geometric series with initial term equal to 1 and a ratio of 1−α1−α we have

yt=xt+(1−α)xt−1+(1−α)2xt−2+...11−(1−α)=[xt+(1−α)xt−1+(1−α)2xt−2+...]α=αxt+[(1−α)xt−1+(1−α)2xt−2+...]α=αxt+(1−α)[xt−1+(1−α)xt−2+...]α=αxt+(1−α)yt−1yt=xt+(1−α)xt−1+(1−α)2xt−2+...11−(1−α)=[xt+(1−α)xt−1+(1−α)2xt−2+...]α=αxt+[(1−α)xt−1+(1−α)2xt−2+...]α=αxt+(1−α)[xt−1+(1−α)xt−2+...]α=αxt+(1−α)yt−1

which is the same expression as adjust=False above and therefore shows the equivalence of the two variants for infinite series. When adjust=False, we have y0=x0y0=x0 and yt=αxt+(1−α)yt−1yt=αxt+(1−α)yt−1. Therefore, there is an assumption that x0x0 is not an ordinary value but rather an exponentially weighted moment of the infinite series up to that point.

One must have 0<α≤10<α≤1, and while since version 0.18.0 it has been possible to pass αα directly, it’s often easier to think about either the spancenter of mass (com) or half-life of an EW moment:

α=⎧⎩⎨⎪⎪⎪⎪2s+1,11+c,1−explog0.5h,for span s≥1for center of mass c≥0for half-life h>0α={2s+1,for span s≥111+c,for center of mass c≥01−explog⁡0.5h,for half-life h>0

One must specify precisely one of spancenter of masshalf-life and alpha to the EW functions:

  • Span corresponds to what is commonly called an “N-day EW moving average”.
  • Center of mass has a more physical interpretation and can be thought of in terms of span: c=(s−1)/2c=(s−1)/2.
  • Half-life is the period of time for the exponential weight to reduce to one half.
  • Alpha specifies the smoothing factor directly.

Here is an example for a univariate time series:

In [109]: s.plot(style='k--')
Out[109]: <matplotlib.axes._subplots.AxesSubplot at 0x7f65f7537278>

In [110]: s.ewm(span=20).mean().plot(style='k')
Out[110]: <matplotlib.axes._subplots.AxesSubplot at 0x7f65f7537278>

ewma_ex

EWM has a min_periods argument, which has the same meaning it does for all the .expanding and .rolling methods: no output values will be set until at least min_periods non-null values are encountered in the (expanding) window.

EWM also has an ignore_na argument, which determines how intermediate null values affect the calculation of the weights. When ignore_na=False (the default), weights are calculated based on absolute positions, so that intermediate null values affect the result. When ignore_na=True, weights are calculated by ignoring intermediate null values. For example, assuming adjust=True, if ignore_na=False, the weighted average of 3, NaN, 5 would be calculated as

(1−α)2⋅3+1⋅5(1−α)2+1.(1−α)2⋅3+1⋅5(1−α)2+1.

Whereas if ignore_na=True, the weighted average would be calculated as

(1−α)⋅3+1⋅5(1−α)+1.(1−α)⋅3+1⋅5(1−α)+1.

The var()std(), and cov() functions have a bias argument, specifying whether the result should contain biased or unbiased statistics. For example, if bias=Trueewmvar(x) is calculated as ewmvar(x) = ewma(x**2) - ewma(x)**2; whereas if bias=False (the default), the biased variance statistics are scaled by debiasing factors

(∑ti=0wi)2(∑ti=0wi)2−∑ti=0w2i.(∑i=0twi)2(∑i=0twi)2−∑i=0twi2.

(For wi=1wi=1, this reduces to the usual N/(N−1)N/(N−1) factor, with N=t+1N=t+1.) See Weighted Sample Variance
