pandas.IntervalIndex.is_overlapping

property IntervalIndex.is_overlapping

Return True if the IntervalIndex has overlapping intervals, else False.

Two intervals overlap if they share a common point, including closed endpoints. Intervals that only have an open endpoint in common do not overlap.

New in version 0.24.0.

Returns

Check whether two Interval objects overlap.

IntervalIndex.overlaps

Check an IntervalIndex elementwise for overlaps.

Examples

>>> index = pd.IntervalIndex.from_tuples([(0, 2), (1, 3), (4, 5)])
>>> index
IntervalIndex([(0, 2], (1, 3], (4, 5]],
      closed='right',
      dtype='interval[int64]')
>>> index.is_overlapping
True

Intervals that share closed endpoints overlap:

>>> index = pd.interval_range(0, 3, closed='both')
>>> index
IntervalIndex([[0, 1], [1, 2], [2, 3]],
      closed='both',
      dtype='interval[int64]')
>>> index.is_overlapping
True

Intervals that only have an open endpoint in common do not overlap:

>>> index = pd.interval_range(0, 3, closed='left')
>>> index
IntervalIndex([[0, 1), [1, 2), [2, 3)],
      closed='left',
      dtype='interval[int64]')
>>> index.is_overlapping
False
