pandas.Series.resample#

Series.resample(rule, axis=<no_default>, closed=None, label=None, convention=<no_default>, kind=<no_default>, on=None, level=None, origin='start_day', offset=None, group_keys=False)[source]#

Resample time-series data.

Convenience method for frequency conversion and resampling of time series. The object must have a datetime-like index (DatetimeIndex, PeriodIndex, or TimedeltaIndex), or the caller must pass the label of a datetime-like series/index to the on/level keyword parameter.

Parameters:

ruleDateOffset, Timedelta or str

The offset string or object representing target conversion.

axis{0 or ‘index’, 1 or ‘columns’}, default 0

Which axis to use for up- or down-sampling. For Series this parameter is unused and defaults to 0. Must be DatetimeIndex, TimedeltaIndex or PeriodIndex.

Deprecated since version 2.0.0: Use frame.T.resample(…) instead.

closed{‘right’, ‘left’}, default None

Which side of bin interval is closed. The default is ‘left’ for all frequency offsets except for ‘ME’, ‘YE’, ‘QE’, ‘BME’, ‘BA’, ‘BQE’, and ‘W’ which all have a default of ‘right’.

label{‘right’, ‘left’}, default None

Which bin edge label to label bucket with. The default is ‘left’ for all frequency offsets except for ‘ME’, ‘YE’, ‘QE’, ‘BME’, ‘BA’, ‘BQE’, and ‘W’ which all have a default of ‘right’.

convention{‘start’, ‘end’, ‘s’, ‘e’}, default ‘start’

For PeriodIndex only, controls whether to use the start or end of rule.

Deprecated since version 2.2.0: Convert PeriodIndex to DatetimeIndex before resampling instead.

kind{‘timestamp’, ‘period’}, optional, default None

Pass ‘timestamp’ to convert the resulting index to a DateTimeIndex or ‘period’ to convert it to a PeriodIndex. By default the input representation is retained.

Deprecated since version 2.2.0: Convert index to desired type explicitly instead.

onstr, optional

For a DataFrame, column to use instead of index for resampling. Column must be datetime-like.

levelstr or int, optional

For a MultiIndex, level (name or number) to use for resampling. level must be datetime-like.

originTimestamp or str, default ‘start_day’

The timestamp on which to adjust the grouping. The timezone of origin must match the timezone of the index. If string, must be one of the following:

‘epoch’: origin is 1970-01-01
‘start’: origin is the first value of the timeseries
‘start_day’: origin is the first day at midnight of the timeseries
‘end’: origin is the last value of the timeseries
‘end_day’: origin is the ceiling midnight of the last day

Added in version 1.3.0.

Note

Only takes effect for Tick-frequencies (i.e. fixed frequencies like days, hours, and minutes, rather than months or quarters).

offsetTimedelta or str, default is None

An offset timedelta added to the origin.

group_keysbool, default False

Whether to include the group keys in the result index when using .apply() on the resampled object.

Added in version 1.5.0: Not specifying group_keys will retain values-dependent behavior from pandas 1.4 and earlier (see pandas 1.5.0 Release notes for examples).

Changed in version 2.0.0: group_keys now defaults to False.

Returns:

pandas.api.typing.Resampler: Resampler object.

Examples

Start by creating a series with 9 one minute timestamps.

>>> index = pd.date_range('1/1/2000', periods=9, freq='min')
>>> series = pd.Series(range(9), index=index)
>>> series
2000-01-01 00:00:00    0
2000-01-01 00:01:00    1
2000-01-01 00:02:00    2
2000-01-01 00:03:00    3
2000-01-01 00:04:00    4
2000-01-01 00:05:00    5
2000-01-01 00:06:00    6
2000-01-01 00:07:00    7
2000-01-01 00:08:00    8
Freq: min, dtype: int64

Downsample the series into 3 minute bins and sum the values of the timestamps falling into a bin.

>>> series.resample('3min').sum()
2000-01-01 00:00:00     3
2000-01-01 00:03:00    12
2000-01-01 00:06:00    21
Freq: 3min, dtype: int64

Downsample the series into 3 minute bins as above, but label each bin using the right edge instead of the left. Please note that the value in the bucket used as the label is not included in the bucket, which it labels. For example, in the original series the bucket 2000-01-01 00:03:00 contains the value 3, but the summed value in the resampled bucket with the label 2000-01-01 00:03:00 does not include 3 (if it did, the summed value would be 6, not 3).

>>> series.resample('3min', label='right').sum()
2000-01-01 00:03:00     3
2000-01-01 00:06:00    12
2000-01-01 00:09:00    21
Freq: 3min, dtype: int64

To include this value close the right side of the bin interval, as shown below.

>>> series.resample('3min', label='right', closed='right').sum()
2000-01-01 00:00:00     0
2000-01-01 00:03:00     6
2000-01-01 00:06:00    15
2000-01-01 00:09:00    15
Freq: 3min, dtype: int64

Upsample the series into 30 second bins.

>>> series.resample('30s').asfreq()[0:5]   # Select first 5 rows
2000-01-01 00:00:00   0.0
2000-01-01 00:00:30   NaN
2000-01-01 00:01:00   1.0
2000-01-01 00:01:30   NaN
2000-01-01 00:02:00   2.0
Freq: 30s, dtype: float64

Upsample the series into 30 second bins and fill the NaN values using the ffill method.

>>> series.resample('30s').ffill()[0:5]
2000-01-01 00:00:00    0
2000-01-01 00:00:30    0
2000-01-01 00:01:00    1
2000-01-01 00:01:30    1
2000-01-01 00:02:00    2
Freq: 30s, dtype: int64

Upsample the series into 30 second bins and fill the NaN values using the bfill method.

>>> series.resample('30s').bfill()[0:5]
2000-01-01 00:00:00    0
2000-01-01 00:00:30    1
2000-01-01 00:01:00    1
2000-01-01 00:01:30    2
2000-01-01 00:02:00    2
Freq: 30s, dtype: int64

Pass a custom function via apply

>>> def custom_resampler(arraylike):
...     return np.sum(arraylike) + 5
...
>>> series.resample('3min').apply(custom_resampler)
2000-01-01 00:00:00     8
2000-01-01 00:03:00    17
2000-01-01 00:06:00    26
Freq: 3min, dtype: int64

For DataFrame objects, the keyword on can be used to specify the column instead of the index for resampling.

>>> d = {'price': [10, 11, 9, 13, 14, 18, 17, 19],
...      'volume': [50, 60, 40, 100, 50, 100, 40, 50]}
>>> df = pd.DataFrame(d)
>>> df['week_starting'] = pd.date_range('01/01/2018',
...                                     periods=8,
...                                     freq='W')
>>> df
   price  volume week_starting
0     10      50    2018-01-07
1     11      60    2018-01-14
2      9      40    2018-01-21
3     13     100    2018-01-28
4     14      50    2018-02-04
5     18     100    2018-02-11
6     17      40    2018-02-18
7     19      50    2018-02-25
>>> df.resample('ME', on='week_starting').mean()
               price  volume
week_starting
2018-01-31     10.75    62.5
2018-02-28     17.00    60.0

For a DataFrame with MultiIndex, the keyword level can be used to specify on which level the resampling needs to take place.

>>> days = pd.date_range('1/1/2000', periods=4, freq='D')
>>> d2 = {'price': [10, 11, 9, 13, 14, 18, 17, 19],
...       'volume': [50, 60, 40, 100, 50, 100, 40, 50]}
>>> df2 = pd.DataFrame(
...     d2,
...     index=pd.MultiIndex.from_product(
...         [days, ['morning', 'afternoon']]
...     )
... )
>>> df2
                      price  volume
2000-01-01 morning       10      50
           afternoon     11      60
2000-01-02 morning        9      40
           afternoon     13     100
2000-01-03 morning       14      50
           afternoon     18     100
2000-01-04 morning       17      40
           afternoon     19      50
>>> df2.resample('D', level=0).sum()
            price  volume
2000-01-01     21     110
2000-01-02     22     140
2000-01-03     32     150
2000-01-04     36      90

If you want to adjust the start of the bins based on a fixed timestamp:

>>> start, end = '2000-10-01 23:30:00', '2000-10-02 00:30:00'
>>> rng = pd.date_range(start, end, freq='7min')
>>> ts = pd.Series(np.arange(len(rng)) * 3, index=rng)
>>> ts
2000-10-01 23:30:00     0
2000-10-01 23:37:00     3
2000-10-01 23:44:00     6
2000-10-01 23:51:00     9
2000-10-01 23:58:00    12
2000-10-02 00:05:00    15
2000-10-02 00:12:00    18
2000-10-02 00:19:00    21
2000-10-02 00:26:00    24
Freq: 7min, dtype: int64

>>> ts.resample('17min').sum()
2000-10-01 23:14:00     0
2000-10-01 23:31:00     9
2000-10-01 23:48:00    21
2000-10-02 00:05:00    54
2000-10-02 00:22:00    24
Freq: 17min, dtype: int64

>>> ts.resample('17min', origin='epoch').sum()
2000-10-01 23:18:00     0
2000-10-01 23:35:00    18
2000-10-01 23:52:00    27

>>> ts.resample('17min', origin='2000-01-01').sum()
2000-10-01 23:24:00     3
2000-10-01 23:41:00    15

If you want to adjust the start of the bins with an offset Timedelta, the two following lines are equivalent:

>>> ts.resample('17min', origin='start').sum()
2000-10-01 23:30:00     9
2000-10-01 23:47:00    21
2000-10-02 00:04:00    54
2000-10-02 00:21:00    24
Freq: 17min, dtype: int64

>>> ts.resample('17min', offset='23h30min').sum()
2000-10-01 23:30:00     9
2000-10-01 23:47:00    21
2000-10-02 00:04:00    54
2000-10-02 00:21:00    24
Freq: 17min, dtype: int64

If you want to take the largest Timestamp as the end of the bins:

>>> ts.resample('17min', origin='end').sum()
2000-10-01 23:35:00     0
2000-10-01 23:52:00    18
2000-10-02 00:09:00    27
2000-10-02 00:26:00    63
Freq: 17min, dtype: int64

In contrast with the start_day, you can use end_day to take the ceiling midnight of the largest Timestamp as the end of the bins and drop the bins not containing data:

>>> ts.resample('17min', origin='end_day').sum()
2000-10-01 23:38:00     3
2000-10-01 23:55:00    15
2000-10-02 00:12:00    45
2000-10-02 00:29:00    45
