How to Expand a Pandas DataFrame by Adding Rows Efficiently

In the world of data analysis, working with DataFrames is a common practice, especially when using the Pandas library in Python. One frequent requirement is to modify a DataFrame by expanding it; specifically, adding new rows while keeping the necessary structure and data integrity. In this guide, we will explore how to efficiently accomplish this task, using a clear example.

The Problem: Expanding a DataFrame

Imagine you have an initial DataFrame structured as follows:

SEGFAMGAMAMIN_RATMAX_RATVALORPE001002125.15Your goal is to expand this DataFrame by duplicating it with modified values for MIN_RAT, MAX_RAT, and VALOR. The output should look something like the following:

SEGFAMGAMAMIN_RATMAX_RATVALORPE0010021110.30PE0010021.11.19.79PE0010021.21.29.27PE0010021.31.38.76..................The VALOR column values are derived from the original VALOR divided by the number of new rows added, incrementing each subsequent row downwards.

The Solution: Step-by-Step Guide

To achieve this DataFrame expansion in an optimal manner, follow the steps outlined below:

Step 1: Initialize Starting DataFrame

First, let's create the initial DataFrame:

Step 2: Create the Range for New Rows

To generate the values for MIN_RAT and MAX_RAT, we'll create an array that spans from the minimum to the maximum value.

Step 3: Repeat and Expand the DataFrame

We will use the Pandas repeat method to duplicate the DataFrame rows based on the length of our range created in the last step.

Step 4: Fill in MIN_RAT and MAX_RAT

Now, we can assign our generated range values to the appropriate columns in the expanded DataFrame.

Step 5: Calculate the VALOR Column

We calculate the VALOR values using the original VALOR, determining increments based on the number of new rows.

Example Output

You should see output that resembles:

SEGFAMGAMAMIN_RATMAX_RATVALORPE0010021.01.010.30PE0010021.11.19.79PE0010021.21.29.27PE0010021.31.38.76..................Conclusion

Using this efficient method, you can successfully expand a Pandas DataFrame by adding new rows while generating new values dynamically based on calculations from your original data. This technique is fundamental to various data manipulation and preparation tasks for deeper analysis.
