Pandas DataFrame: How to do Set Union Aggregation over a rolling window

Tags:

I have a Dataframe that contains sets of ids in one column and dates in another:

import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame([['2018-01-01', {1, 2, 3}],
                   ['2018-01-02', {3}],
                   ['2018-01-03', {3, 4, 5}],
                   ['2018-01-04', {5, 6}]],
                  columns=['timestamp', 'ids'])

df['timestamp'] = pd.to_datetime(df['timestamp'])
df.set_index('timestamp', inplace=True)

                     ids
timestamp               
2018-01-01     {1, 2, 3}
2018-01-02     {3}
2018-01-03     {3, 4, 5}
2018-01-04     {5, 6}

What I am looking for is a function that can give me the ids for the last x days per day. So, assuming x=3, I'd want the result to be:

                     ids
timestamp               
2018-01-01     {1, 2, 3}
2018-01-02     {1, 2, 3}
2018-01-03     {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
2018-01-04     {3, 4, 5, 6}

I have tried

df.rolling(3).agg(set.union)

but that leads to the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\m.manhertz\Envs\demo-8EG6nosu\lib\site-packages\pandas\core\window.py", line 222, in _prep_values

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Pandas isn't designed to hold iterables such as list, set, dict within pd.Series objects. As such, your logic is not vectorisable. Your best option may be a list comprehension:

import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame([['2018-01-01', {1, 2, 3}],
                   ['2018-01-02', {3}],
                   ['2018-01-03', {3, 4, 5}],
                   ['2018-01-04', {3, 6}]],
                  columns=['timestamp', 'ids'])

df['timestamp'] = pd.to_datetime(df['timestamp'])
df.set_index('timestamp', inplace=True)

df['ids'] = [set.union(*df.iloc[max(0, i-2): i+1, 0]) for i in range(len(df.index))]

print(df)

                        ids
timestamp                  
2018-01-01        {1, 2, 3}
2018-01-02        {1, 2, 3}
2018-01-03  {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
2018-01-04     {3, 4, 5, 6}
