Understanding Time Series Data with Pandas: A Step-by-Step Solution to Visualize Monthly Impact
Understanding the Problem and Requirements The problem at hand involves taking a given DataFrame with multiple time periods for each person, unpacking these into separate months and years, counting the number of people affected by month and year, and visualizing this count in a histogram.
Given:
A DataFrame df with columns ‘id’, ‘start1’, ’end1’, ‘start2’, and ’end2’ Each row represents an individual’s time periods Objective:
Create a frequency count by month and year for the entire time frame Visualize this count in a histogram Step 1: Reshaping the DataFrame To solve this problem, we need to reshape our DataFrame from wide format (individual columns for each time period) to long format (a single column for all time periods).
