Magpie - Mir Data Analysis and Processing Library

DataFrame project for GSoC 2019.

The goal of the project is to deliver a DataFrame that behaves just like Pandas in Python.

Usage

import magpie.dataframe: DataFrame;
import magpie.index: Index;

DataFrame!(int, 2, double, 1) df;
Index index;
index.setIndex([0,1,2,3,4,5], ["Row Index"], [0,1,2], ["Column Index"]);
df.setFrameIndex(index);
df.display();
/*
 *  Column Index  0  1  2
 *  Row Index
 *  0             0  0  nan
 *  1             0  0  nan
 *  2             0  0  nan
 *  3             0  0  nan
 *  4             0  0  nan
 *  5             0  0  nan
 */

df.assign!1(2, [1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0]);
df.display();
/*

Different ways of creating a DataFrame

import magpie.dataframe: DataFrame;

DataFrame!(int, 10) df;
DataFrame!(int, 10, double, 10) df;
DataFrame!(int[10], double[10]) df;
DataFrame!(int, 10, double[10]) df;

// DataFrame from Structure
struct S
{
    int[10] a;
    double[10] b;
}

import std.traits: Fields;
DataFrame!(Fields!S) df;

// In case all the fields are of primitive types, you can add
// true in the beginning to reduce compile time
DataFrame!(true, int, int, double, double) df;

struct RS
{
    int a;
    int b;
    double c;
    double d;
}

DataFrame!(Fields!(RS)) df;

Structure

• The DataFrame structure is defined as:

struct DataFrame(Fields)
{
    alias RowType = getArgsList!(Fields);
    alias FrameType = staticMap!(toArr, RowType);

    // Dimension of data
    size_t rows = 0;
    size_t cols = RowType.length;

    Index indx;
    FrameType data;
}

• Index is defined as folows:

struct Index
{

    struct Indexing
    {
        string[] titles;
        string[][] index;
        int[][] codes;
    }

    /// To know if data is multi-indexed
    bool isMultiIndexed = false;

    /// Row and Column indexing
    Indexing[2] indexing;
}

Features

• Index
• Access
• Assignment
• Apply
• Binary Operations
• Drop
• Group By
• I/O
• Slice Integration
• Aggregate
• Filter

Index

Index is a structure that stores the indexes as strings with a special space optimization for integer indexes.

import magpie.index: Index;

// Declaration
Index indx;

// Setting Indexes
indx.setIndex([1, 2, 3, 4], ["Row Index"], [1, 2, 3], ["Column Index"]);
/*
 *  Provides the following basic skeleton for the DataFrame:
 *
 *  Column Index  1  2  3
 *  Row Index
 *  1
 *  2
 *  3
 *  4
 */

setIndex(rowIndex, rowIndexTitles, columnIndex?, columnIndexTitles?)

Setting indexes of an empty Index.

• rowIndex - Can be a single or two dimensional array of string or integers
• rowIndexTitles - Single Dimensional array of strings
• columnIndex[Optional] - Can be a single or two dimensional array of string or integers
• columnIndexTitles[Optional] - Single Dimensional array of strings

Usage:

import magpie.index: Index;

Index inx;
inx.setIndex([["Hello", "Hi"], ["Hi", "Hello"]], ["RL1", "RL2"],
             [["Hello", "Hi"], ["Hi", "Hello"]], ["CL1", "CL2"]);
/*
 *  The basic skeleton:
 *
 *         CL1    Hello  Hi
 *         CL2    Hi     Hello
 *  RL1    Rl2
 *  Hello  Hi
 *  Hi     Hello
 */

Note: In case the dimension of columnIndex don't match the dimension of DataFrame, the default indexing will be applied.

constructFromPairs(rowIndex, rowIndexTitles, columnIndex?, columnIndexTitles?)

Setting row indexes row wise and column indexes column wise

• rowIndex - Two dimensional array of string or integer
• rowIndexTitles - Single Dimensional array of strings
• columnIndex[Optional] - Two dimensional array of string or integers
• columnIndexTitles[Optional] - Single Dimensional array of strings

import magpie.index: Index;

Index inx;
inx.constructFromPairs([["Hello", "Hi"], ["Hi", "Hello"], ["Hey", "Hey"]],
                        ["RL1", "RL2"],
                        [["Hello", "Hi"], ["Hi", "Hello"], ["Hey", "Hey"]],
                        ["CL1", "CL2"]);
/*
 *  The basic skeleton:
 *
 *         CL1    Hello  Hi     Hey
 *         CL2    Hi     Hello  Hey
 *  RL1    Rl2
 *  Hello  Hi
 *  Hi     Hello
 *  Hey    Hey
 */

constructFromZip(axis, levels)(index, titles)

Constructing Index from a Zip range

• axis - 0 to construct row index, 1 for constructing column index
• levels - depth of indexing
• index - Zip containing the indexes
• titles - Index titles [Mandatory for axis = 0]

import magpie.index: Index;
import std.range: zip;

Index inx;
auto z = zip([1, 2, 3, 4], ["Hello", "Hi", "Hello", "Hi"]);
inx.constructFromZip!(0, 2)(z, ["Index1", "Index2"]);
/*
 *  The basic skeleton:
 *
 *  Index1  Index2
 *  1       Hello
 *  2       Hi
 *  3       Hello
 *  4       Hi
 */

auto zc = zip([1, 2, 3, 4], ["Hello", "Ho", "Hello", "Ho"]);
inx.constructFromZip!(1, 2)(zc);
/*
 *  The basic skeleton:
 *
                    1      2   3      4
 *                  Hello  Hi  Hello  Hi
 *  Index1  Index2
 *  1       Hello
 *  2       Hi
 *  3       Hello
 *  4       Hi
 */

constructFromLevels(axis)(index, titles)

Construct indexes based on unique levels

• axis - 0 to construct row index, 1 for constructing column index
• index - Two dimensional array of string containing unique level of indexes

 */

inx.constructFromLevels!1([["Air", "Water"], ["Transportation", "What_to_put_here"], ["Net Income", "Gross Income"]]);

/*
 *  The basic skeleton:
 *                                        Air             Air             Air               Air               Water           Water           Water               Water

 *  Air     Transportation  Net Income
 *  Air     Transportation  Gross Income
 *  Water   Transportation  Net Income
 *  Water   Transportation  Gross Income
 */

Setting Index using Array like operation

import magpie.index: Index;

Index inx;
inx[0] = ["Hello", "Hi"];
inx[1] = ["Hey"];
/*
 *  The basic skeleton:
 *         Hey
 *  Hello
 *  Hi
 */

inx[0] = [["Hello", "Hi"], ["Hey", "Hey"]];
/*
 *  The basic skeleton:
 *              Hey
 *  Hello  Hey
 *  Hi     Hey
 */

extend(axis)(next)

Extending indexing of a previously assigned Index.

• axis - set 0 to extend row index else set 1
• next - element to extend index (Needs to be a 1D array of string or integer)

Usage:

import magpie.index: Index;

Index inx;
inx.setIndex([["Hello", "Hi"], ["Hi", "Hello"]], ["RL1", "RL2"],
             [["Hello", "Hi"], ["Hi", "Hello"]], ["CL1", "CL2"]);
/*
 *  The basic skeleton:
 *
 *         CL1    Hello  Hi
 *         CL2    Hi     Hello
 *  RL1    Rl2
 *  Hello  Hi
 *  Hi     Hello
 */

inx.extend!0(["Hey", "Hey"]);
inx.extend!1(["Yo", "Yo"]);

/*
 *  The basic skeleton:
 *
 *         CL1    Hello  Hi     Yo
 *         CL2    Hi     Hello  Yo
 *  RL1    Rl2
 *  Hello  Hi
 *  Hi     Hello
 *  Hey    Hey
 */

columnToIndex(position)() @property

Convert a column to an indexing level

• position - integral position of column to convert to index

Usage:

Index inx;
DataFrame!(double, 2) df;
inx.setIndex([["Hello", "Hi"], ["Hi", "Hello"]], ["RL1", "RL2"],
            [["Hello", "Hi"], ["Hi", "Hello"]], ["CL1", "CL2"]);
df.setFrameIndex(inx);

df.assign!1(0, [1.0, 4.0]);
df.assign!1(1, [16.0, 256.0]);
df.display();
/*
 *        CL1    Hello  Hi
 *        CL2    Hi     Hello
 * RL1    RL2
 * Hello  Hi     1      16
 * Hi     Hello  4      256
 */

auto extended = df.columnToIndex!(0);
extended.display();
/*
 *               CL1  Hi
 *               CL2  Hello
 * RL1    RL2    Hi
 * Hello  Hi     1    16
 * Hi     Hello  4    256
 */

Note: The index from the bottom most level will be used as the new indexing level title.

Access

In addition to array like access to elements, some of the other ways to access elements are:

at!(row, column)

Direct access to element using integral indexes

• row - Integral index of row
• column - Integral Index of column

Usage:

import magpie.dataframe: DataFrame;
import magpie.index: Index;

Index inx;
inx.setIndex([1, 2, 3],["rindex"]);

DataFrame!(int, 2) df;
df.setFrameIndex(inx);
df.at!(0,0);        // Will return 0
df[0, 0];           // Same as above, returns 0
df[["1"], ["0"]];   // Same as above - usig string indexes - returns 0

Getting row and column position from string indexes

getRowPosition(indexes)

Getting integer position of a row in DataFrame based on string index

• indexes - 1D array of string indexes of the row you desire

getColumnPosition(indexes)

Getting integer position of a column in DataFrame based on string index

• indexes - 1D array of string indexes of the column you desire

Usage:

Index inx;
DataFrame!(int, 2) df;
inx.setIndex([["Hello", "Hi"], ["Hi", "Hello"]], ["RL1", "RL2"],
            [["Hello", "Hi"], ["Hi", "Hello"]], ["CL1", "CL2"]);
df.setFrameIndex(inx);

df.getRowPosition(["Hello", "Hi"]); // 0
df.getColumnPosition(["Hi", "Hello"]); // 1

Assignment

Direct Assignment

import magpie.dataframe: DataFrame;
import magpie.index: Index;

Index inx;
inx.setIndex([1, 2, 3],["rindex"]);

DataFrame!(int, 2, double) df;
df.setFrameIndex(inx);  // If column index isn't specified, default indexing takes over
df.display();
/*
 *  rindex  0  1  2
 *  1       0  0  nan
 *  2       0  0  nan
 *  3       0  0  nan
 */

df = [[1.0], [1.0, 2.0], [1.0, 2.0, 3.5]];
df.display();
/*
 *  rindex  0  1  2
 *  1       1  0  nan
 *  2       1  2  nan
 *  3       1  2  3.5
 */

// Assignment based on direct integer index
df[0, 0] = 42;
df.display();
/*
 *  rindex  0   1  2
 *  1       42  0  nan
 *  2       1   2  nan
 *  3       1   2  3.5
 */

// Assignment based on string index
df[["2"], ["1"]] = 17;
df.display();
/*
 *  rindex  0   1   2
 *  1       42  0   nan
 *  2       1   17  nan
 *  3       1   2   3.5
 */

Note: Direct assignment works with only 2D array. Each element will be implicitly casted to the data type of the given column.

assign(axis)(index, data)

Assign data completely or partially to a row or a column.

• axis - set 0 to assign to a row else set 1 to assign to a particular column
• index - Integer or string index of the location to assign
• data - Data to set at the particular row / column

Usage:

import magpie.dataframe: DataFrame;
import magpie.index: Index;

Index inx;
inx.setIndex([["Hello", "Hi"], ["Hi", "Hello"]], ["Index", "Index"],
             [["Hello", "Hi"], ["Hi", "Hello"]]);

DataFrame!(double, int) df;
df.setFrameIndex(inx);
df.display();
/*
 *                Hello  Hi
 *  Index  Index  Hi     Hello
 *  Hello  Hi     nan    0
 *  Hi     Hello  nan    0
 */

df.RowType ele;
ele[0] = 1.77;
ele[1] = 4;

// Using RowType alias
df.assign!0(["Hi", "Hello"], ele);
df.display();
/*
 *                Hello  Hi
 *  Index  Index  Hi     Hello
 *  Hello  Hi     nan    0
 *  Hi     Hello  1.77   4
 */

// Without RowType
df.assign!0(["Hi", "Hello"], 1.688, 6);
df.display();
/*
 *                Hello  Hi
 *  Index  Index  Hi     Hello
 *  Hello  Hi     nan    0
 *  Hi     Hello  1.688  6
 */

// Assigning usig direct index
df.assign!0(1, 1.588, 6);
df.display();
/*
 *                Hello  Hi
 *  Index  Index  Hi     Hello
 *  Hello  Hi     nan    0
 *  Hi     Hello  1.588  6
 */

// Assigning column
df.assign!1(["Hello", "Hi"], [1.2, 3.6]);
df.display();
/*
 *                Hello  Hi
 *  Index  Index  Hi     Hello
 *  Hello  Hi     1.2    0
 *  Hi     Hello  3.6    6
 */

// Assigning columns using direct index
df.assign!1(0, [1.26, 4.6]);
df.display();
/*
 *                Hello  Hi
 *  Index  Index  Hi     Hello
 *  Hello  Hi     1.26   0
 *  Hi     Hello  4.6    6
 */

// Partial Assignment - rows
df.assign!0(1, 3.588);
df.display();
/*
 *                Hello  Hi
 *  Index  Index  Hi     Hello
 *  Hello  Hi     1.26   0
 *  Hi     Hello  3.588  6
 */

// Partial Assignment - columns
df.assign!1(0, [2.26]);
df.display();
/*
 *                Hello  Hi
 *  Index  Index  Hi     Hello
 *  Hello  Hi     2.26   0
 *  Hi     Hello  4.6    6
 */

Apply

apply(Fn, axis)(index)

Applies a function to all the elements of row/column

• Axis - 0 for row, 1 for column
• Fn - Function to apply
• index - single dimensional array of integer index or two dimensional array of string index.

Usage:

import magpie.dataframe: DataFrame;
import magpie.index: Index;

Index inx;
DataFrame!(double, 2) df;
inx.setIndex([["Hello", "Hi"], ["Hi", "Hello"]], ["RL1", "RL2"],
            [["Hello", "Hi"], ["Hi", "Hello"]], ["CL1", "CL2"]);
df.setFrameIndex(inx);

df.assign!1(0, [1.0, 4.0]);
df.assign!1(1, [16.0, 256.0]);
df.display();
/*
 *        CL1    Hello  Hi
 *        CL2    Hi     Hello
 * RL1    RL2
 * Hello  Hi     1      16
 * Hi     Hello  4      256
 */

import std.math: sqrt;
df.apply!(sqrt, 1)([1]);
df.display();
/*
 *        CL1    Hello  Hi
 *        CL2    Hi     Hello
 * RL1    RL2
 * Hello  Hi     1      4
 * Hi     Hello  4      16
 */

df.apply!(sqrt, 0)([1]);
df.display();
/*
 *        CL1    Hello  Hi
 *        CL2    Hi     Hello
 * RL1    RL2
 * Hello  Hi     1      4
 * Hi     Hello  2      4
 */

BinaryOps

DataFrame supports row and column binary operations. Supported operations:

• Assignment (Assigning values of one row/column to another)
• Addition
• Subtraction
• Multiplication
• Division

Usage

import magpie.dataframe: DataFrame;
import magpie.index: Index;

DataFrame!(int, 3) df;
Index inx;
inx.setIndex([["Hello", "Hi"], ["Hi", "Hello"]], ["Index", "Index"]);
df.setFrameIndex(inx);
df.display();
/*
 *  Index  Index  0  1  2
 *  Hello  Hi     0  0  0
 *  Hi     Hello  0  0  0
 */

df.assign!1(0, [1, 4]);
df.assign!1(1, [1, 6]);
df.assign!1(2, [1, 8]);
df.display();
/*
 *  Index  Index  0  1  2
 *  Hello  Hi     1  1  1
 *  Hi     Hello  4  6  8
 */

df[["0"]] = df[["1"]] + df[["2"]];
df.display();
/*
 *  Index  Index  0   1  2
 *  Hello  Hi     2   1  1
 *  Hi     Hello  14  6  8
 */

df[["Hello", "Hi"], 0] = df[["Hi", "Hello"], 0];
df.display();
/*
 *  Index  Index  0   1  2
 *  Hello  Hi     14  6  8
 *  Hi     Hello  14  6  8
 */

Note:

• For now, binary operations only work with string based indexes.
• The first argument is always an array of string [even if level of indexing is 1]
• Don't specify axis for column binary operation. Using column binary operations as df[["0"], 1] will not work.
• When assigning a column containing floating point number to integral one, there won't be any implicit conversion made. Please use convertTo function of Axis to convert result to the desired type before assignment.

Drop

drop(axis, positions)() @property

drop can drop a row/column from the DataFrame

• axis - 0 to drop a row, 1 to drop a column
• positions - integer array of positions to drop

Usage:

import magpie.dataframe: DataFrame;
import magpie.index: Index;

Index inx;
DataFrame!(double, 2) df;
inx.setIndex([["Hello", "Hi"], ["Hi", "Hello"]], ["RL1", "RL2"],
            [["Hello", "Hi"], ["Hi", "Hello"]], ["CL1", "CL2"]);
df.setFrameIndex(inx);

df.assign!1(0, [1.0, 4.0]);
df.assign!1(1, [16.0, 256.0]);
df.display();
/*
 *        CL1    Hello  Hi
 *        CL2    Hi     Hello
 * RL1    RL2
 * Hello  Hi     1      16
 * Hi     Hello  4      256
 */

auto drow = df.drop!(0, [1]);
drow.display();
/*
 *        CL1  Hello  Hi
 *        CL2  Hi     Hello
 * RL1    RL2
 * Hello  Hi   1      16
 */

auto dcol = df.drop!(1, [1]);
dcol.display();

GroupBy

DataFrame.groupBy(dataLevels)(indexLevels)

Group DataFrame based on arbitrary number of columns. This includes grouping based on row indexes and data columns.

• dataLevels - Integral indexes of data columns to be considered for grouping
• indexLevels - Integral indexes of row indexing level to consider for grouping

Returns: A Group object

Usage

DataFrame!(int, 5) df;
Index inx;
inx.setIndex([["Hello", "Hi", "Hey"], ["Hi", "Hello", "Hey"], ["Hey", "Hello", "Hi"]], ["1", "2", "3"]);
df.setFrameIndex(inx);
df.assign!1(2, [1,2,3]);

auto gp = df.groupBy!([2])([0, 1]);
gp.display();
/*

Operations on Group

display

• Displays the contents of group on the terminal
• Usage: Group.display()

getGroups

• Returns a string[][] containing all the groups

Usage:

DataFrame!(double) df;
Index inx;
inx.constructFromLevels!(0)([["Falcon", "Parrot"], ["Captive", "Wild"]], ["Animal", "Type"]);
inx.constructFromLevels!(1)([["Max-Speed"]]);
df.setFrameIndex(inx);
df.assign!1(0, [380.0, 370.0, 24.0, 26.0]);

auto grp = df.groupBy([0]);
assert(grp.getGroups == [["Falcon"], ["Parrot"]]);

combine

Combines one or more group into a DataFrame

auto combine(groupIndex)

• groupIndex - Array of Integral or string index of groups

DataFrame!(double) df;
Index inx;
inx.constructFromLevels!(0)([["Falcon", "Parrot"], ["Captive", "Wild"]], ["Animal", "Type"]);
inx.constructFromLevels!(1)([["Max-Speed"]]);
df.setFrameIndex(inx);
df.assign!1(0, [380.0, 370.0, 24.0, 26.0]);
/*

Binary Operations on Group

Binary Operations on Group are carried out in the same was as that of a DataFrame. An Axis structure is used to obtain the values.

Usage

DataFrame!(int, 5) df;
Index inx;
inx.setIndex([["Hello", "Hi", "Hey"], ["Hi", "Hello", "Hey"], ["Hey", "Hello", "Hi"]], ["1", "2", "3"]);
df.setFrameIndex(inx);
df.assign!1(2, [1,2,3]);
df.assign!1(4, [1,2,3]);

auto gp = df.groupBy!([2])(df, [0, 1]);
gp.display();
/*
 * Group: ["Hello", "Hi", "1"]
 * Group Dimension: [ 1 X 4 ]
 * 3    0  1  3  4
 * Hey  0  0  0  1
 * 
 * Group: ["Hi", "Hello", "2"]
 * Group Dimension: [ 1 X 4 ]
 * 3      0  1  3  4
 * Hello  0  0  0  2
 * 
 * Group: ["Hey", "Hey", "3"]
 * Group Dimension: [ 1 X 4 ]
 * 3   0  1  3  4
 * Hi  0  0  0  3
 */

gp[["Hello", "Hi", "1"], ["3"]] = gp[["Hello", "Hi", "1"], ["4"]];
gp[["Hello", "Hi", "1"], ["3"]] = gp[["Hello", "Hi", "1"], ["0"]] + gp[["Hello", "Hi", "1"], ["3"]] + gp[["Hello", "Hi", "1"], ["4"]];

gp.display();
/*
 * Group: ["Hello", "Hi", "1"]
 * Group Dimension: [ 1 X 4 ]
 * 3    0  1  3  4
 * Hey  0  0  2  1
 * 
 * Group: ["Hi", "Hello", "2"]
 * Group Dimension: [ 1 X 4 ]
 * 3      0  1  3  4
 * Hello  0  0  0  2
 * 
 * Group: ["Hey", "Hey", "3"]
 * Group Dimension: [ 1 X 4 ]
 * 3   0  1  3  4
 * Hi  0  0  0  3
 */

I/O

display(getStr = false, maxSize = 0)

Displays the content of the dataframe on the terminal.

• getStr - If set to true, will return the evaluated display string instead of the terminal output
• maxSize - Override terminal size [Dynamically detecting terminal size isn't implemented yet]

Usage:

import magpie.dataframe: DataFrame;
import magpie.index: Index;

Index inx;
inx.setIndex([["Hello", "Hi"], ["Hi", "Hello"]], ["Index", "Index"],
             [["Hello", "Hi"], ["Hi", "Hello"]]);

DataFrame!(double, int) df;
df.setFrameIndex(inx);
df.display();
/*
 *                Hello  Hi
 *  Index  Index  Hi     Hello
 *  Hello  Hi     nan    0
 *  Hi     Hello  nan    0
 */

 string display_string = df.display(true);  // If set to false, will return an empty string
 string if_terminal_width_150 = df.display(true, 150);  // Assumes terminal can accommodate 150 characters

to_csv(string path, bool writeIndex = true, bool writeColumn = true, char sep = ",")

Writes the DataFrame to CSV format.

• writeIndex - If set true writes row indexes to the file.
• writeColumn - If set rue writes column indexes to the file
• sep - Is the data separator

Usage:

df.to_csv("./test.csv");

from_csv(string path, int indexDepth = 1, int columnDepth = 1,int[] columns = [], char sep = ',')

<b>Will be eventually replaced with fastCSV</b>

Parsing of CSV file into a DataFrame

• indexDepth - How many columns from left do row index span
• columnDepth - How many rows from top column index span
• columns - indexes of columns to selectively parse
• sep - Data Separator

Usage:

import magpie.dataframe: DataFrame;

DataFrame!(double, int, 2, double) df;
df.from_csv("any.csv", 1, 1);
/* This assumes any.csv has 1 column dedicated to row indexes
 * and 1 row dedicated to column indexes
 */

fastCSV(string path, size_t indexDepth, size_t columnDepth, char sep = ',') (Alpha)

Faster parser for CSV files

• indexDepth - How many columns from left do row index span
• columnDepth - How many rows from top column index span
• columns - indexes of columns to selectively parse
• sep - Data Separator

Usage:

import magpie.dataframe: DataFrame;

DataFrame!(double, int, 2, double) df;
df.fastCSV("any.csv", 1, 1);
/* This assumes any.csv has 1 column dedicated to row indexes
 * and 1 row dedicated to column indexes
 */

<b>Note:</b> This redesign is still in an alpha stage. It doesn't support CSV with titles for column indexing levels. That said it is light years ahead of from_csv.

You can see the benchmarks here. Adding a large CSV file to this repository wasn't practical. Hence, fastCSV tests on large CSV file were ported out of this repository.

Slice

This section deals with integration and interoperation of Mir's Slice and Magpie's DataFrame and Group

• DataFrame.asSlice
• Group.asSlice

In DataFrame:

asSlice(Type, SliceKind)() @property

Retrieval of the entire DataFrame. If Type is Algebraic, then all the numeric data is copied over to the Slice else returns a Slice of string.

asSlice(SliceKind, Type = string, axis = 0)

Get a row/column of DataFrame as Slice of Type.

Usage:

// Using Slice to copy value from one DataFrame to another
import magpie.dataframe: DataFrame;
import magpie.index: Index;

DataFrame!(int, 5) df;
Index inx;
inx.setIndex([["Hello", "Hi", "Hey"], ["Hi", "Hello", "Hey"], ["Hey", "Hello", "Hi"]], ["1", "2", "3"]);
df.setFrameIndex(inx);
df.assign!1(2, [1,2,3]);
df.assign!1(4, [1,2,3]);

auto dfslice = df.asSlice!(int, Contiguous);

DataFrame!(int, 5) df2;
df2.setFrameIndex(inx);

df2 = dfslice;
df2.display();

/// Index operation on Slice
import magpie.dataframe: DataFrame;
import magpie.index: Index;

DataFrame!(int, 3, double, 2) df;
Index inx;
inx.setIndex([["Hello", "Hi", "Hey"], ["Hi", "Hello", "Hey"], ["Hey", "Hello", "Hi"]], ["1", "2", "3"]);
df.setFrameIndex(inx);
df.assign!1(2, [1,2,3]);
df.assign!1(4, [1.0, 2.0, 3.0]);

df[["1"]] = df.asSlice!(Universal, int, 1)(["4"]);
df.display();
/*
 * 1      2      3      0  1  2  3    4
 * Hello  Hi     Hey    0  1  1  nan  1
 * Hi     Hello  Hello  0  2  2  nan  2
 * Hey    Hey    Hi     0  3  3  nan  3
 * 
 * Dataframe Dimension: [ 4 X 8 ]
 * Data Dimension: [ 3 X 5 ]
 */

df[["Hello", "Hi", "Hey"], 0] = df.asSlice!(Universal)(["Hi", "Hello", "Hello"]);
df.display();
/*
 * 1      2      3      0  1  2  3    4
 * Hello  Hi     Hey    0  2  2  nan  2
 * Hi     Hello  Hello  0  2  2  nan  2
 * Hey    Hey    Hi     0  3  3  nan  3
 * 
 * Dataframe Dimension: [ 4 X 8 ]
 * Data Dimension: [ 3 X 5 ]
 */

In Group:

asSlice(Type, SliceKind)() @property

Get the entire Group as slice for copying. If Type is Algebraic, then all the numeric data is copied over to the Slice else returns a Slice of string.

asSlice(Type, SliceKind)(groupTitle)

Get a single group as Slice. If Type is Algebraic, then all the numeric data is copied over to the Slice else returns a Slice of string.

asSlice(SliceKind kind, Type = string, int axis = 0, U)(groupTitle,index)

Retrieve a single row or column of a particular group as Slice of type Type

// Assign a group to another using Slice
import magpie.dataframe: DataFrame;
import magpie.index: Index;

DataFrame!(int, 5) df;
Index inx;
inx.setIndex([["Hello", "Hi", "Hey"], ["Hi", "Hello", "Hey"], ["Hey", "Hello", "Hi"]], ["1", "2", "3"]);
df.setFrameIndex(inx);
df.assign!1(2, [1,2,3]);
df.assign!1(4, [1,2,3]);

auto gp = df.groupBy!([2])([0, 1]);

gp[["Hello", "Hi", "1"]] = gp.asSlice!(int, Universal)(["Hi", "Hello", "2"]);
gp.display();
/*
 * Group: ["Hello", "Hi", "1"]

 * Group Dimension: [ 1 X 4 ]
 * 3   0  1  3  4
 * Hi  0  0  0  3
 */

Aggregate

Aggregate allows user to perform mathematical operation on row or columns of the DataFrame or a Group.

Usage

import magpie.dataframe: DataFrame;
import magpie.index: Index;
import std.algorithm: max, min;

DataFrame!(int, 3, double, 2) df;
Index inx;
inx[0] = ["Row1", "Row2"];
inx[1] = ["Col1", "Col2", "Col3", "Col4", "Col5"];

df.setFrameIndex(inx);
df = [[1, 2, 3, 4, 5], [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]];
df.display();
/*
 *        Col1  Col2  Col3  Col4  Col5
 *  Row1  1     2     3     4     5
 *  Row2  1     2     3     4     5
 */

df.aggregate!(1, max).display();
/*
 *  Operation  Col1  Col2  Col3  Col4  Col5
 *  max        1     2     3     4     5
 */

df.aggregate!(1, max, min).display();
/*
 *  Operation       Col1  Col2  Col3  Col4  Col5
 *  max             1     2     3     4     15
 *  min             0     1     2     3     4  
 */

aggregate!(0, max).display();
/*
 *        max
 *  Row1  5
 *  Row2  4
 */

aggregate!(0, max, min).display();
/*
 *        max  min
 *  Row1  5    1
 *  Row2  4    0
 */

Filter

Filter operation allows you to drop specific rows of DataFrame based on the result of specific alias being passed.

df.filter!(alias Func)

• Func - alias based on which the row of DataFrame will be dropped

Usage

import magpie.dataframe: DataFrame;
import magpie.index: Index;

DataFrame!(float, float) df;
Index inx;
inx[0] = ["Firm1", "Firm2", "Firm3", "Firm4", "Firm5"];
inx[1] = ["Assets", "Valuation"];
df.setFrameIndex(inx);

static bool filterFunc(T)(T ele)
{
    return (ele[0] > ele[1]);
}

df = [[1.2, 2.3], [0.8, 1.2], [4.2, 1.2], [7.2, 9.4], [1.1, 0.5]];

// Find undervalued function
df.filter!(filterFunc).display();
       Assets  Valuation
Firm3  4.2     1.2      
Firm5  1.1     0.5
