pandas.DataFrame.gt#

DataFrame.gt(other, axis='columns', level=None)[source]#

Get Greater than of dataframe and other, element-wise (binary operator gt).

Among flexible wrappers (eq, ne, le, lt, ge, gt) to comparison operators.

Equivalent to ==, !=, <=, <, >=, > with support to choose axis (rows or columns) and level for comparison.

Parameters

otherscalar, sequence, Series, or DataFrame: Any single or multiple element data structure, or list-like object.
axis{0 or ‘index’, 1 or ‘columns’}, default ‘columns’: Whether to compare by the index (0 or ‘index’) or columns (1 or ‘columns’).
levelint or label: Broadcast across a level, matching Index values on the passed MultiIndex level.

Returns

DataFrame of bool: Result of the comparison.

DataFrame.eq: Compare DataFrames for equality elementwise.
DataFrame.ne: Compare DataFrames for inequality elementwise.
DataFrame.le: Compare DataFrames for less than inequality or equality elementwise.
DataFrame.lt: Compare DataFrames for strictly less than inequality elementwise.
DataFrame.ge: Compare DataFrames for greater than inequality or equality elementwise.
DataFrame.gt: Compare DataFrames for strictly greater than inequality elementwise.

Notes

Mismatched indices will be unioned together. NaN values are considered different (i.e. NaN != NaN).

Examples

>>> df = pd.DataFrame({'cost': [250, 150, 100],
...                    'revenue': [100, 250, 300]},
...                   index=['A', 'B', 'C'])
>>> df
   cost  revenue
A   250      100
B   150      250
C   100      300

Comparison with a scalar, using either the operator or method:

>>> df == 100
    cost  revenue
A  False     True
B  False    False
C   True    False

>>> df.eq(100)
    cost  revenue
A  False     True
B  False    False
C   True    False

When other is a Series, the columns of a DataFrame are aligned with the index of other and broadcast:

>>> df != pd.Series([100, 250], index=["cost", "revenue"])
    cost  revenue
A   True     True
B   True    False
C  False     True

Use the method to control the broadcast axis:

>>> df.ne(pd.Series([100, 300], index=["A", "D"]), axis='index')
   cost  revenue
A  True    False
B  True     True
C  True     True
D  True     True

When comparing to an arbitrary sequence, the number of columns must match the number elements in other:

>>> df == [250, 100]
    cost  revenue
A   True     True
B  False    False
C  False    False

Use the method to control the axis:

>>> df.eq([250, 250, 100], axis='index')
    cost  revenue
A   True    False
B  False     True
C   True    False

Compare to a DataFrame of different shape.

>>> other = pd.DataFrame({'revenue': [300, 250, 100, 150]},
...                      index=['A', 'B', 'C', 'D'])
>>> other
   revenue
A      300
B      250
C      100
D      150

>>> df.gt(other)
    cost  revenue
A  False    False
B  False    False
C  False     True
D  False    False

Compare to a MultiIndex by level.

>>> df_multindex = pd.DataFrame({'cost': [250, 150, 100, 150, 300, 220],
...                              'revenue': [100, 250, 300, 200, 175, 225]},
...                             index=[['Q1', 'Q1', 'Q1', 'Q2', 'Q2', 'Q2'],
...                                    ['A', 'B', 'C', 'A', 'B', 'C']])
>>> df_multindex
      cost  revenue
Q1 A   250      100
   B   150      250
   C   100      300
Q2 A   150      200
   B   300      175
   C   220      225

>>> df.le(df_multindex, level=1)
       cost  revenue
Q1 A   True     True
   B   True     True
   C   True     True
Q2 A  False     True
   B   True    False
   C   True    False
