pandas.Series.sparse.to_coo#

Series.sparse.to_coo(row_levels=(0,), column_levels=(1,), sort_labels=False)[source]#

Create a scipy.sparse.coo_matrix from a Series with MultiIndex.

Use row_levels and column_levels to determine the row and column coordinates respectively. row_levels and column_levels are the names (labels) or numbers of the levels. {row_levels, column_levels} must be a partition of the MultiIndex level names (or numbers).

Parameters

row_levelstuple/list
column_levelstuple/list
sort_labelsbool, default False: Sort the row and column labels before forming the sparse matrix. When row_levels and/or column_levels refer to a single level, set to True for a faster execution.

Returns

yscipy.sparse.coo_matrix
rowslist (row labels)
columnslist (column labels)

Examples

>>> s = pd.Series([3.0, np.nan, 1.0, 3.0, np.nan, np.nan])
>>> s.index = pd.MultiIndex.from_tuples(
...     [
...         (1, 2, "a", 0),

...         (1, 1, "b", 1),
...         (2, 1, "b", 0),
...         (2, 1, "b", 1)
...     ],
...     names=["A", "B", "C", "D"],

>>> A, rows, columns = ss.sparse.to_coo(

>>> A
<3x4 sparse matrix of type '<class 'numpy.float64'>'
with 3 stored elements in COOrdinate format>
>>> A.todense()

[3., 0., 0., 0.],
[0., 0., 0., 0.]])
