Pandas : Count number of consecutive rows that are greater than current row value but less than the value from other column

Say I have the following sample dataframe (there are about 25k rows in the real dataframe)

df = pd.DataFrame({'A' : [0,3,2,9,1,0,4,7,3,2], 'B': [9,8,3,5,5,5,5,8,0,4]})
df
   A  B
0  0  9
1  3  8
2  2  3
3  9  5
4  1  5
5  0  5
6  4  5
7  7  8
8  3  0
9  2  4

For the column A I need to know how many next and previous rows are greater than current row value but less than value in column B.

So my expected output is :

A   B next count  previous count
0   9     2          0
3   8     0          0
2   3     0          1
9   5     0          0
1   5     0          0
0   5     2          1
4   5     1          0
7   8     0          0
3   0     0          2
2   4     0          0

Explanation :

  • First row is calculated as : since 3 and 2 are greater than 0 but less than corresponding B value 8 and 3
  • Second row is calculated as : since next value 2 is not greater than 3
  • Third row is calculated as : since 9 is greater than 2 but not greater than its corresponding B value

Similarly, previous count is calculated

Note : I know how to solve this problem by looping using list comprehension or using the pandas apply method but still I won't mind a clear and concise apply approach. I was looking for a more pandaic approach.

Here is the apply solution, which I think is inefficient. Also, as people said that there might be no vector solution for the question. So as mentioned, a more efficient apply solution will be accepted for this question.

This is what I have tried.

This function gets the number of previous/next rows that satisfy the condition.

def get_prev_next_count(row):
    next_nrow = df.loc[row['index']+1:,['A', 'B']]
    prev_nrow = df.loc[:row['index']-1,['A', 'B']][::-1]
    if (next_nrow.size == 0):
        return 0, ((prev_nrow.A > row.A) & (prev_nrow.A < prev_nrow.B)).argmin()
    if (prev_nrow.size == 0):
        return ((next_nrow.A > row.A) & (next_nrow.A < next_nrow.B)).argmin(), 0
    return (((next_nrow.A > row.A) & (next_nrow.A < next_nrow.B)).argmin(), ((prev_nrow.A > row.A) & (prev_nrow.A < prev_nrow.B)).argmin())

Generating output :

df[['next count', 'previous count']] = df.reset_index().apply(get_prev_next_count, axis=1, result_type="expand")

Output :

This gives us the expected output

df
   A  B  next count  previous count
0  0  9           2               0
1  3  8           0               0
2  2  3           0               1
3  9  5           0               0
4  1  5           0               0
5  0  5           2               1
6  4  5           1               0
7  7  8           0               0
8  3  0           0               2
9  2  4           0               0

How to split a rinex file if I need 24 hours data

Trying to divide rinex file using the command gfzrnx but getting this error. While doing that getting this error msg 'gfzrnx' is not recognized as an internal or external command Trying to split rinex file using the command gfzrnx. also install'gfzrnx'. my doubt is I need to run this program in 'gfzrnx' or in 'cmdprompt'. I am expecting a rinex file with 24 hrs or 1 day data.I Have 48 hrs data in RINEX format. Please help me to solve this issue. source https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75385367/how-to-split-a-rinex-file-if-i-need-24-hours-data

ValueError: X has 10 features, but LinearRegression is expecting 1 features as input

So, I am trying to predict the model but its throwing error like it has 10 features but it expacts only 1. So I am confused can anyone help me with it? more importantly its not working for me when my friend runs it. It works perfectly fine dose anyone know the reason about it? cv = KFold(n_splits = 10) all_loss = [] for i in range(9): # 1st for loop over polynomial orders poly_order = i X_train = make_polynomial(x, poly_order) loss_at_order = [] # initiate a set to collect loss for CV for train_index, test_index in cv.split(X_train): print('TRAIN:', train_index, 'TEST:', test_index) X_train_cv, X_test_cv = X_train[train_index], X_test[test_index] t_train_cv, t_test_cv = t[train_index], t[test_index] reg.fit(X_train_cv, t_train_cv) loss_at_order.append(np.mean((t_test_cv - reg.predict(X_test_cv))**2)) # collect loss at fold all_loss.append(np.mean(loss_at_order)) # collect loss at order plt.plot(np.log(al...

Sorting large arrays of big numeric stings

I was solving bigSorting() problem from hackerrank: Consider an array of numeric strings where each string is a positive number with anywhere from to digits. Sort the array's elements in non-decreasing, or ascending order of their integer values and return the sorted array. I know it works as follows: def bigSorting(unsorted): return sorted(unsorted, key=int) But I didnt guess this approach earlier. Initially I tried below: def bigSorting(unsorted): int_unsorted = [int(i) for i in unsorted] int_sorted = sorted(int_unsorted) return [str(i) for i in int_sorted] However, for some of the test cases, it was showing time limit exceeded. Why is it so? PS: I dont know exactly what those test cases were as hacker rank does not reveal all test cases. source https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73007397/sorting-large-arrays-of-big-numeric-stings
