Getting Mean, Min, and Max Values Using GroupBy in Pandas

When working with pandas DataFrames in Python, one common task is to summarize data by groups. Specifically, you might want to obtain statistics like the mean, minimum, and maximum values from a specific column for distinct classes in your DataFrame. In this guide, we will explore how to do this using the groupby() function and its companions.

The Problem

Imagine you have a DataFrame with several categories, and you want to calculate the mean, min, and max of a numeric column grouped by other columns. For instance, consider we have a DataFrame that consists of types, labels, and margins:

The goal is to create a new DataFrame that summarizes the average, minimum, and maximum margin for each unique type and label combination.

The Solution

There are several efficient methods to achieve this in pandas. Here’s a detailed breakdown of three approaches:

1. Using pivot_table()

The pivot_table() function can aggregate your data by type and label easily. Here’s how:

2. Using pd.crosstab()

Another option is utilizing pd.crosstab(), which is particularly useful for creating cross-tabulations of two (or more) factors:

3. Using groupby()

The most straightforward method is using the groupby() function alongside aggregation:

Conclusion

Calculating summary statistics such as mean, min, and max from a specific column using groupby() is straightforward with pandas. Whether you choose to use pivot_table(), pd.crosstab(), or groupby(), each method provides a clear path to obtaining valuable insights from your data.

Now you can effectively summarize your DataFrame for better data analysis and reporting. Happy coding!
