View Source Explorer.DataFrame (Explorer v0.10.1)
The DataFrame struct and API.
Dataframes are two-dimensional tabular data structures similar to a spreadsheet. For example, the Iris dataset:
iex> Explorer.Datasets.iris()
#Explorer.DataFrame<
Polars[150 x 5]
sepal_length f64 [5.1, 4.9, 4.7, 4.6, 5.0, ...]
sepal_width f64 [3.5, 3.0, 3.2, 3.1, 3.6, ...]
petal_length f64 [1.4, 1.4, 1.3, 1.5, 1.4, ...]
petal_width f64 [0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 0.2, ...]
species string ["Iris-setosa", "Iris-setosa", "Iris-setosa", "Iris-setosa", "Iris-setosa", ...]
>This dataframe has 150 rows and five columns. Each column is an Explorer.Series
of the same size (150):
iex> df = Explorer.Datasets.iris()
iex> df["sepal_length"]
#Explorer.Series<
Polars[150]
f64 [5.1, 4.9, 4.7, 4.6, 5.0, 5.4, 4.6, 5.0, 4.4, 4.9, 5.4, 4.8, 4.8, 4.3, 5.8, 5.7, 5.4, 5.1, 5.7, 5.1, 5.4, 5.1, 4.6, 5.1, 4.8, 5.0, 5.0, 5.2, 5.2, 4.7, 4.8, 5.4, 5.2, 5.5, 4.9, 5.0, 5.5, 4.9, 4.4, 5.1, 5.0, 4.5, 4.4, 5.0, 5.1, 4.8, 5.1, 4.6, 5.3, 5.0, ...]
>Creating dataframes
Dataframes can be created from normal Elixir terms. The main way you might do this is
with the new/1 function. For example:
iex> Explorer.DataFrame.new(a: ["a", "b"], b: [1, 2])
#Explorer.DataFrame<
Polars[2 x 2]
a string ["a", "b"]
b s64 [1, 2]
>Or with a list of maps:
iex> Explorer.DataFrame.new([%{"col1" => "a", "col2" => 1}, %{"col1" => "b", "col2" => 2}])
#Explorer.DataFrame<
Polars[2 x 2]
col1 string ["a", "b"]
col2 s64 [1, 2]
>Verbs
Explorer uses the idea of a consistent set of SQL-like verbs like
dplyr which can help solve common
data manipulation challenges. These are split into single table verbs,
multiple table verbs, and row-based verbs:
Single table verbs
Single table verbs are (unsurprisingly) used for manipulating a single dataframe. Those operations typically driven by column names. These are:
select/2for picking columns anddiscard/2to discard themfilter/2for picking rows based on predicatesmutate/2for adding or replacing columns that are functions of existing columnssort_by/2for changing the ordering of rowsdistinct/2for picking unique rowssummarise/2for reducing multiple rows down to a single summarypivot_longer/3andpivot_wider/4for massaging dataframes into longer or wider forms, respectively
Each of these combine with Explorer.DataFrame.group_by/2 for operating by group.
Multiple table verbs
Multiple table verbs are used for combining tables. These are:
join/3for performing SQL-like joinsconcat_columns/1for horizontally "stacking" dataframesconcat_rows/1for vertically "stacking" dataframes
Row-based verbs
Those operations are driven by the row index. These are:
head/2for picking the first rowstail/2for picking the last rowsslice/2for slicing the dataframe by row indexes or a rangeslice/3for slicing a section by an offsetsample/2for sampling the data-frame by row
IO operations
Explorer supports reading and writing of:
- delimited files (such as CSV or TSV)
- Parquet
- Arrow IPC
- Arrow Streaming IPC
- Newline Delimited JSON
- Databases via
Adbcinfrom_query/3
The convention Explorer uses is to have from_* and to_* functions to read and write
to files in the formats above. load_* and dump_* versions are also available to read
and write those formats directly in memory.
Files can be fetched from local or remote file system, such as S3, using the following formats:
# path to a file in disk
Explorer.DataFrame.from_parquet("/path/to/file.parquet")
# path to a URL schema (with optional configuration)
Explorer.DataFrame.from_parquet("s3://bucket/file.parquet", config: FSS.S3.config_from_system_env())
# it's possible to configure using keyword lists
Explorer.DataFrame.from_parquet("s3://bucket/file.parquet", config: [access_key_id: "my-key", secret_access_key: "my-secret"])
# a FSS entry (it already includes its config)
Explorer.DataFrame.from_parquet(FSS.S3.parse("s3://bucket/file.parquet"))The :config option of from_* functions is only required if the filename is a path
to a remote resource. In case it's a FSS entry, the requirement is that the config is passed
inside the entry struct.
For more details about the options, see the FSS docs.
Selecting columns and access
Several functions in this module, such as select/2, discard/2, drop_nil/2, and so
forth accept a single or multiple columns as arguments. The columns can be specified in
a variety of formats, which we describe below.
Explorer.DataFrame also implements the Access behaviour (also known as the brackets
syntax). This should be familiar for users coming from other language with dataframes
such as R or Python. For example:
iex> df = Explorer.Datasets.wine()
iex> df["class"]
#Explorer.Series<
Polars[178]
s64 [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, ...]
>Accessing the dataframe with a column name either as a string or an atom, will return the column. You can also pass an integer representing the column order:
iex> df = Explorer.Datasets.wine()
iex> df[0]
#Explorer.Series<
Polars[178]
s64 [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, ...]
>You can also pass a list, a range, or a regex to return a dataframe matching the given data type. For example, by passing a list:
iex> df = Explorer.Datasets.wine()
iex> df[["class", "hue"]]
#Explorer.DataFrame<
Polars[178 x 2]
class s64 [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, ...]
hue f64 [1.04, 1.05, 1.03, 0.86, 1.04, ...]
>Or a range for the given positions:
iex> df = Explorer.Datasets.wine()
iex> df[0..2]
#Explorer.DataFrame<
Polars[178 x 3]
class s64 [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, ...]
alcohol f64 [14.23, 13.2, 13.16, 14.37, 13.24, ...]
malic_acid f64 [1.71, 1.78, 2.36, 1.95, 2.59, ...]
>Or a regex to keep only columns matching a given pattern:
iex> df = Explorer.Datasets.wine()
iex> df[~r/(class|hue)/]
#Explorer.DataFrame<
Polars[178 x 2]
class s64 [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, ...]
hue f64 [1.04, 1.05, 1.03, 0.86, 1.04, ...]
>Given you can also access a series using its index, you can use multiple accesses to select a column and row at the same time:
iex> df = Explorer.Datasets.wine()
iex> df["class"][3]
1When trying to access a column in the dataframe that does not exist, an ArgumentError is raised.
iex> df = Explorer.DataFrame.new(a: [1, 2, 3])
iex> df["b"]
** (ArgumentError) could not find column name "b". The available columns are: ["a"].
If you are attempting to interpolate a value, use ^b.Summary

Types
Represents a column name or its index.
Represents a column name as atom or string.
Represents multiple column names as atoms or strings.
Represents a column pair where the value is a column name or
a column index, and the value is of type value.
Represents multiple columns.
Represents a filesystem entry, that can be local, S3 or URL.
Represents a dataframe.
Functions: Conversion
Computes and collects a data frame to the current node.
If the data frame is already in the current node, it is computed but no transfer happens.
Examples
series = Explorer.Series.from_list([1, 2, 3], node: :some@node)
Explorer.Series.collect(series)Computes the lazy data frame into an eager one, executing the query.
It is the opposite of lazy/1. If it is not a lazy data frame,
this is a noop.
Collecting a grouped dataframe should return a grouped dataframe.
Converts the dataframe to the lazy version of the current backend.
Operations on a lazy dataframe are not executed immediately, instead
they are batched together, and performed when collect/1 is invoked.
This allows for query optimizations, parallelism, leading to better
performance.
If already lazy, this is a noop. Converting a grouped dataframe should return a lazy dataframe with groups.
Returns true if the data frame is a lazy one.
@spec new( Table.Reader.t() | series_pairs, opts :: Keyword.t() ) :: t() when series_pairs: %{required(column_name()) => Explorer.Series.t()} | [{column_name(), Explorer.Series.t()}]
Creates a new dataframe.
It accepts any of:
- a map or keyword list of string/atom keys and series as values
- a map or keyword list of string/atom keys and tensors as values
- any data structure adhering to the
Table.Readerprotocol
Options
:backend- The Explorer backend to use. Defaults to the value returned byExplorer.Backend.get/0.:dtypes- A list/map of{column_name, dtype}pairs. (default:[]):lazy- force the results into the lazy version of the current backend.
Examples
From series
Series can be given either as keyword lists or maps where the keys are the name and the values are series:
iex> Explorer.DataFrame.new(%{
...> floats: Explorer.Series.from_list([1.0, 2.0]),
...> ints: Explorer.Series.from_list([1, nil])
...> })
#Explorer.DataFrame<
Polars[2 x 2]
floats f64 [1.0, 2.0]
ints s64 [1, nil]
>From tensors
To create dataframe from tensors, you can pass a matrix as argument. Each matrix column becomes a dataframe column with names x1, x2, x3, etc:
iex> Explorer.DataFrame.new(Nx.tensor([
...> [1, 2, 3],
...> [4, 5, 6]
...> ]))
#Explorer.DataFrame<
Polars[2 x 3]
x1 s64 [1, 4]
x2 s64 [2, 5]
x3 s64 [3, 6]
>Explorer expects tensors to have certain types, so you may need to cast
the data accordingly. See Explorer.Series.from_tensor/2 for more info.
You can also pass a keyword list or maps of vectors (rank 1 tensors):
iex> Explorer.DataFrame.new(%{
...> floats: Nx.tensor([1.0, 2.0], type: :f64),
...> ints: Nx.tensor([3, 4])
...> })
#Explorer.DataFrame<
Polars[2 x 2]
floats f64 [1.0, 2.0]
ints s64 [3, 4]
>Use dtypes to force a particular representation:
iex> Explorer.DataFrame.new([
...> floats: Nx.tensor([1.0, 2.0], type: :f64),
...> times: Nx.tensor([3_000, 4_000])
...> ], dtypes: [times: :time])
#Explorer.DataFrame<
Polars[2 x 2]
floats f64 [1.0, 2.0]
times time [00:00:00.000003, 00:00:00.000004]
>From tabular
Tabular data can be either columnar or row-based. Let's start with column data:
iex> Explorer.DataFrame.new(%{floats: [1.0, 2.0], ints: [1, nil]})
#Explorer.DataFrame<
Polars[2 x 2]
floats f64 [1.0, 2.0]
ints s64 [1, nil]
>
iex> Explorer.DataFrame.new(floats: [1.0, 2.0], ints: [1, nil])
#Explorer.DataFrame<
Polars[2 x 2]
floats f64 [1.0, 2.0]
ints s64 [1, nil]
>
iex> Explorer.DataFrame.new([floats: [1.0, 2.0], ints: [1, nil], binaries: [<<239, 191, 19>>, nil]], dtypes: [{:binaries, :binary}])
#Explorer.DataFrame<
Polars[2 x 3]
floats f64 [1.0, 2.0]
ints s64 [1, nil]
binaries binary [<<239, 191, 19>>, nil]
>
iex> Explorer.DataFrame.new(%{floats: [1.0, 2.0], ints: [1, "wrong"]})
** (ArgumentError) cannot create series "ints": the value "wrong" does not match the inferred dtype {:s, 64}From row data:
iex> rows = [%{id: 1, name: "José"}, %{id: 2, name: "Christopher"}, %{id: 3, name: "Cristine"}]
iex> Explorer.DataFrame.new(rows)
#Explorer.DataFrame<
Polars[3 x 2]
id s64 [1, 2, 3]
name string ["José", "Christopher", "Cristine"]
>
iex> rows = [[id: 1, name: "José"], [id: 2, name: "Christopher"], [id: 3, name: "Cristine"]]
iex> Explorer.DataFrame.new(rows)
#Explorer.DataFrame<

>Converts a dataframe to a list of columns with lists as values.
See to_series/2 if you want a list of columns with series as values.
Note that this function does not take into account groups.
Warning
This is an expensive operation since it converts series to lists and doing
so will copy the whole dataframe. Prefer to use the operations in this and
the Explorer.Series module rather than the ones in Enum whenever possible,
as Explorer is optimized for large series.
Options
:atom_keys- Configure if the resultant map should have atom keys. (default:false)
Examples
iex> df = Explorer.DataFrame.new(ints: [1, nil], floats: [1.0, 2.0])
iex> Explorer.DataFrame.to_columns(df)
%{"floats" => [1.0, 2.0], "ints" => [1, nil]}
iex> df = Explorer.DataFrame.new(floats: [1.0, 2.0], ints: [1, nil])
iex> Explorer.DataFrame.to_columns(df, atom_keys: true)
%{floats: [1.0, 2.0], ints: [1, nil]}Converts a dataframe to a list of maps (rows).
Warning
This is an expensive operation since data is stored in a columnar format.
You must avoid converting a dataframe to rows, as that will transform and
copy the whole dataframe in memory. Prefer to use the operations in this
module rather than the ones in Enum whenever possible, as this module is
optimized for large series.
Options
:atom_keys- Configure if the resultant maps should have atom keys. (default:false)
Examples
iex> df = Explorer.DataFrame.new(floats: [1.0, 2.0], ints: [1, nil])
iex> Explorer.DataFrame.to_rows(df)
[%{"floats" => 1.0, "ints" => 1}, %{"floats" => 2.0 ,"ints" => nil}]
iex> df = Explorer.DataFrame.new(floats: [1.0, 2.0], ints: [1, nil])
iex> Explorer.DataFrame.to_rows(df, atom_keys: true)
[%{floats: 1.0, ints: 1}, %{floats: 2.0, ints: nil}]@spec to_rows_stream(df :: t(), Keyword.t()) :: Enumerable.t()
Converts a dataframe to a stream of maps (rows).
Warning
This is an expensive operation since data is stored in a columnar format.
Prefer to use the operations in this module rather than the ones in Enum
whenever possible, as this module is optimized for large series.
Options
:atom_keys- Configure if the resultant maps should have atom keys. (default:false):chunk_size- Number of rows passed toto_rows/2while streaming over the data. (default:1000)
Examples
iex> df = Explorer.DataFrame.new(floats: [1.0, 2.0], ints: [1, nil])
iex> Explorer.DataFrame.to_rows_stream(df) |> Enum.map(& &1)
[%{"floats" => 1.0, "ints" => 1}, %{"floats" => 2.0 ,"ints" => nil}]

iex> Explorer.DataFrame.to_rows_stream(df, atom_keys: true) |> Enum.map(& &1)
[%{floats: 1.0, ints: 1}, %{floats: 2.0, ints: nil}]Converts a dataframe to a list of columns with series as values.
See to_columns/2 if you want a list of columns with lists as values.
Note that this function does not take into account groups.
Options
:atom_keys- Configure if the resultant map should have atom keys. (default:false)
Examples

@spec explode(df :: t(), column :: column_name() | [column_name()]) :: t()
Explodes one or multiple list column into multiple rows.
When exploding multiple columns, the number of list elements in each row for the exploded columns must be the same.
Examples

>Picks rows based on Explorer.Query.
The query is compiled and runs efficiently against the dataframe.
The query must return a boolean expression or a list of boolean expressions.
When a list is returned, they are joined as and expressions.
Notice
This is a macro. You must
require Explorer.DataFramebefore using it.
Besides element-wise series operations, you can also use window functions and aggregations inside comparisons. In such cases, grouped dataframes may have different results than ungrouped ones, because the filtering is computed withing groups. See examples below.
See filter_with/2 for a callback version of this function without
Explorer.Query.
Examples
iex> df = Explorer.DataFrame.new(col1: ["a", "b", "c"], col2: [1, 2, 3])
iex> Explorer.DataFrame.filter(df, col2 > 2)
#Explorer.DataFrame<

Picks rows based on a callback function.
The callback receives a lazy dataframe. A lazy dataframe does not hold any values, instead it stores all operations in order to execute all filtering performantly.
This is a callback version of filter/2.

>Regexes and functions are also accepted in column names, as in select/2.
@spec mask(df :: t(), mask :: Explorer.Series.t() | [boolean()]) :: t()
Picks rows based on a list or series of values.
Examples
This function must only be used when you need to select rows based on external values that are not available to the dataframe. For example, you can pass a list:
iex> df = Explorer.DataFrame.new(col1: ["a", "b", "c"], col2: [1, 2, 3])
iex> Explorer.DataFrame.mask(df, [false, true, false])
#Explorer.DataFrame<
Polars[1 x 2]
col1 string ["b"]
col2 s64 [2]
>You must avoid using masks when the masks themselves are computed from other columns. For example, DO NOT do this:
iex> df = Explorer.DataFrame.new(col1: ["a", "b", "c"], col2: [1, 2, 3])
iex> Explorer.DataFrame.mask(df, Explorer.Series.greater(df["col2"], 1))
#Explorer.DataFrame<

iex> Explorer.DataFrame.filter_with(df, fn df -> Explorer.Series.greater(df["col2"], 1) end)
#Explorer.DataFrame<
Polars[2 x 2]
col1 string ["b", "c"]
col2 s64 [2, 3]
>The filter_with/2 version is much more efficient because it doesn't need
to create intermediate series representations to apply the mask.
Creates or modifies columns based on Explorer.Query.
The query is compiled and runs efficiently against the dataframe. New variables overwrite existing variables of the same name. Column names are coerced from atoms to strings.
Notice
This is a macro. You must
require Explorer.DataFramebefore using it.
Besides element-wise series operations, you can also use window functions and aggregations inside mutations. In such cases, grouped dataframes may have different results than ungrouped ones, because the mutation is computed withing groups. See examples below.
See mutate_with/3 for a callback version of this function without
Explorer.Query. If your mutation cannot be expressed with queries,
you may compute the values using the Explorer.Series API directly
and then add it to the dataframe using put/3.
Options
keep- Controls which columns should be kept in the resulting dataframe. Supported options for keep are::all- Retains all columns from the input dataframe (default).:none- Retains only the columns created by the mutation (andgrouping columns if operating on a grouped DataFrame).
Notice
You will need to wrap your mutations in
[]in order to use the:keepoption.
Examples
Mutations are useful to add or modify columns in your dataframe:
iex> df = Explorer.DataFrame.new(a: ["a", "b", "c"], b: [1, 2, 3])
iex> Explorer.DataFrame.mutate(df, c: b + 1)
#Explorer.DataFrame<
Polars[3 x 3]

c s64 [2, 3, 4]
>It's also possible to overwrite existing columns:
iex> df = Explorer.DataFrame.new(a: ["a", "b", "c"], b: [1, 2, 3])
iex> Explorer.DataFrame.mutate(df, a: b * 2)
#Explorer.DataFrame<
Polars[3 x 2]
a s64 [2, 4, 6]
b s64 [1, 2, 3]
>Scalar values are repeated to fill the series:

iex> Explorer.DataFrame.mutate(df, a: 4)
#Explorer.DataFrame<
Polars[3 x 2]
a s64 [4, 4, 4]
b s64 [1, 2, 3]
>It's also possible to use functions from the Series module, like Explorer.Series.window_sum/3:

#Explorer.DataFrame<
Polars[3 x 2]

>Grouped examples
Mutations in grouped dataframes takes the context of the group.
This enables some aggregations to be made considering each group. It's almost like summarise/2,
but repeating the results for each member in the group.
For example, if we want to count how many elements of a given group, we can add a new
column with that aggregation:
iex> df = Explorer.DataFrame.new(id: ["a", "a", "b"], b: [1, 2, 3])

>@spec mutate_with( df :: t(), callback_or_column_pairs :: (Explorer.Backend.QueryFrame.t() -> column_pairs(Explorer.Series.lazy_t())) | column_pairs(Explorer.Series.lazy_t()), opts :: keyword() ) :: t()
Creates or modifies columns using a callback function and an
optional keep argument.
The callback receives a lazy dataframe. A lazy dataframe doesn't hold any values, instead it stores all operations in order to execute all mutations performantly.
This is a callback version of mutate/3. If your mutation
cannot be expressed with lazy dataframes, you may compute the
values using the Explorer.Series API directly and then add
it to the dataframe using put/3.
Options
keep- Controls which columns should be kept in the resulting dataframe. Supported options for keep are::all- Retains all columns from the input dataframe (default).:none- Retains only the columns created by the mutation (andgrouping columns if operating on a grouped DataFrame).
Examples
Here is an example of a new column that sums the value of two other columns:
iex> df = Explorer.DataFrame.new(a: [4, 5, 6], b: [1, 2, 3])
iex> Explorer.DataFrame.mutate_with(df, &[c: Explorer.Series.add(&1["a"], &1["b"])])
#Explorer.DataFrame<
Polars[3 x 3]
a s64 [4, 5, 6]
b s64 [1, 2, 3]
c s64 [5, 7, 9]
>You can overwrite existing columns as well:
iex> df = Explorer.DataFrame.new(a: ["a", "b", "c"], b: [1, 2, 3])
iex> Explorer.DataFrame.mutate_with(df, &[b: Explorer.Series.pow(&1["b"], 2)])
#Explorer.DataFrame<
Polars[3 x 2]
a string ["a", "b", "c"]
b s64 [1, 4, 9]
>It's possible to "reuse" a variable for different computations:
iex> df = Explorer.DataFrame.new(a: [4, 5, 6], b: [1, 2, 3])
iex> Explorer.DataFrame.mutate_with(df, fn ldf ->
iex> c = Explorer.Series.add(ldf["a"], ldf["b"])
iex> [c: c, d: Explorer.Series.window_sum(c, 2)]
iex> end)

a s64 [4, 5, 6]
b s64 [1, 2, 3]
c s64 [5, 7, 9]
d s64 [5, 12, 16]
>Grouped examples
Mutations in grouped dataframes takes the context of the group. For example, if we want to count how many elements of a given group, we can add a new column with that aggregation:
iex> df = Explorer.DataFrame.new(id: ["a", "a", "b"], b: [1, 2, 3])
iex> grouped = Explorer.DataFrame.group_by(df, :id)
iex> Explorer.DataFrame.mutate_with(grouped, &[count: Explorer.Series.count(&1["b"])])
#Explorer.DataFrame<
Polars[3 x 3]
Groups: ["id"]
id string ["a", "a", "b"]
b s64 [1, 2, 3]
count u32 [2, 2, 1]
>
Examples with the keep option
Here is an example of a new column that sums the value of two other columns:
iex> df = Explorer.DataFrame.new(a: [4, 5, 6], b: [1, 2, 3])
iex> Explorer.DataFrame.mutate_with(df, &[c: Explorer.Series.add(&1["a"], &1["b"])], keep: :all)
#Explorer.DataFrame<
Polars[3 x 3]
a s64 [4, 5, 6]
b s64 [1, 2, 3]
c s64 [5, 7, 9]
>Note that keep: :all is the default behavior.
Using the :keep option to retain only new columns:
iex> df = Explorer.DataFrame.new(a: [4, 5, 6], b: [1, 2, 3])
iex> Explorer.DataFrame.mutate_with(df, &[c: Explorer.Series.add(&1["a"], &1["b"])], keep: :none)
#Explorer.DataFrame<
Polars[3 x 1]
c s64 [5, 7, 9]
>When using keep: :none on a grouped DataFrame, the grouping
columns are retained along with the newly created columns:
iex> df = Explorer.DataFrame.new(name: ["a", "a", "b", "b"], a: [1, 2, 3, 4], b: [5, 6, 7, 8])
iex> grouped = Explorer.DataFrame.group_by(df, :name)
iex> Explorer.DataFrame.mutate_with(grouped, &[ab_sum: Explorer.Series.sum(Explorer.Series.add(&1["a"], &1["b"]))], keep: :none)
#Explorer.DataFrame<
Polars[4 x 2]
Groups: ["name"]
name string ["a", "a", "b", "b"]
ab_sum s64 [14, 14, 22, 22]
>Note that the name column is retained because it's the
grouping column, even though keep: :none is specified.
The a and b columns are dropped, and only the new ab_sum
column is added.
Counts the number of nil elements in each column.
Examples
iex> df = Explorer.DataFrame.new(a: ["d", nil, "f"], b: [nil, 2, nil], c: ["a", "b", "c"])
iex> Explorer.DataFrame.nil_count(df)
#Explorer.DataFrame<

a u32 [1]
b u32 [2]
c u32 [0]
>Pivot data from wide to long.
pivot_longer/3 "lengthens" data, increasing the number of rows and
decreasing the number of columns. The inverse transformation is pivot_wider/4.
The second argument, columns_to_pivot, can be either list of column names to pivot.
Ranges, regexes, and functions are also accepted in column names, as in select/2.
The selected columns must always have the same data type.
In case the dataframe is using groups, the groups that are also in the list of columns to pivot will be removed from the resultant dataframe. See the examples below.
Options
:select- Columns that are not in the list of pivot and should be kept in the dataframe. Ranges, regexes, and functions are also accepted in column names, as inselect/2. Defaults to all columns except the ones to pivot.:discard- Columns that are not in the list of pivot and should be dropped from the dataframe. Ranges, regexes, and functions are also accepted in column names, as inselect/2. This list of columns is going to be subtracted from the list ofselect. Defaults to an empty list.:names_to- A string specifying the name of the column to create from the data stored in the column names of the dataframe. Defaults to"variable".:values_to- A string specifying the name of the column to create from the data stored in series element values. Defaults to"value".

>Grouped examples
In the following example we want to take the Iris dataset and increase the number of rows by pivoting the "sepal_length" column. This dataset is grouped by "species", so the resultant dataframe is going to keep the "species" group:
iex> df = Explorer.Datasets.iris()
iex> grouped = Explorer.DataFrame.group_by(df, "species")
iex> Explorer.DataFrame.pivot_longer(grouped, ["sepal_length"])

>@spec pivot_wider( df :: t(), names_from :: column(), values_from :: column() | columns(), opts :: Keyword.t() ) :: t()
Pivot data from long to wide.
pivot_wider/4 "widens" data, increasing the number of columns and decreasing the number of rows.
The inverse transformation is pivot_longer/3.
In case the dataframe is using groups, the groups that are also in the list of columns to pivot will be removed from the resultant dataframe. See the examples below.
Options
:id_columns- A set of columns that uniquely identifies each observation.Defaults to all columns in data except for the columns specified in
names_fromandvalues_from, and columns that are of the{:f, 64}dtype.Typically used when you have redundant variables, i.e. variables whose values are perfectly correlated with existing variables. May accept a filter callback, a list or a range of column names. If an empty list is passed, or a range that results in a empty list of column names, it raises an error.
ID columns cannot be of the float type and any columns of this dtype is discarded. If you need to use float columns as IDs, you must carefully consider rounding or truncating the column and converting it to integer, as long as doing so preserves the properties of the column.
:names_prefix- String added to the start of every variable name. This is particularly useful ifnames_fromis a numeric vector and you want to create syntactic variable names.
Examples
Suppose we have a basketball court and multiple teams that want to train in that court. They need to share a schedule with the hours each team is going to use it. Here is a dataframe representing that schedule:
iex> Explorer.DataFrame.new(
iex> weekday: ["Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday"],
iex> team: ["A", "B", "C", "A", "B", "C", "A", "B", "C", "A"],
iex> hour: [10, 9, 10, 10, 11, 15, 14, 16, 14, 16]
iex> )This dataframe is going to look like this - using print/2:
+----------------------------------------------+
| Explorer DataFrame: [rows: 10, columns: 3] |
+---------------+--------------+---------------+
| weekday | team | hour |
| <string> | <string> | <integer> |
+===============+==============+===============+
| Monday | A | 10 |
+---------------+--------------+---------------+

+---------------+--------------+---------------+
| Thursday | A | 10 |
+---------------+--------------+---------------+
| Friday | B | 11 |
+---------------+--------------+---------------+
| Monday | C | 15 |
+---------------+--------------+---------------+
| Tuesday | A | 14 |
+---------------+--------------+---------------+
| Wednesday | B | 16 |
+---------------+--------------+---------------+
| Thursday | C | 14 |
+---------------+--------------+---------------+
| Friday | A | 16 |
+---------------+--------------+---------------+You can see that the "weekday" repeats, and it's not clear how free the agenda is. We can solve that by pivoting the "weekday" column in multiple columns, making each weekday a new column in the resultant dataframe.
iex> df = Explorer.DataFrame.new(
iex> weekday: ["Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday"],
iex> team: ["A", "B", "C", "A", "B", "C", "A", "B", "C", "A"],

>Now if we print that same dataframe with print/2, we get a better picture of the schedule:

| C | 15 | | 10 | 14 | |
+----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+Pivot wider can create unpredictable column names, and sometimes they can conflict with ID columns. In that scenario, we add a number as suffix to duplicated column names. Here is an example:
iex> df = Explorer.DataFrame.new(
iex> product_id: [1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2],
iex> property: ["product_id", "width_cm", "height_cm", "length_cm", "product_id", "width_cm", "height_cm", "length_cm"],

>But if the option :names_prefix is used, that suffix is not added:

iex> property: ["product_id", "width_cm", "height_cm", "length_cm", "product_id", "width_cm", "height_cm", "length_cm"],

>Multiple columns are accepted for the values_from parameter, but the behaviour is slightly
different for the naming of new columns in the resultant dataframe. The new columns are going
to be prefixed by the name of the original value column, followed by the name of the variable.

>Creates or modifies a single column.
This is a simplified way to add or modify one column, accepting a series, tensor, or a list.
If you are computing a series, it is preferrable to use
mutate/2 or mutate_with/2 to compute the series and
modify it in a single step, as it is more powerful and
it handles both expressions and scalar values accordingly.
If you are passing tensors or lists, they will be automatically
converted to a series. By default, the new series will have the
same dtype as the existing series, unless the :dtype option
is given. If there is no existing series, one is inferred from
the tensor/list.
Examples
iex> df = Explorer.DataFrame.new(a: [1, 2, 3])
iex> Explorer.DataFrame.put(df, :b, Explorer.Series.transform(df[:a], fn n -> n * 2 end))

#Explorer.DataFrame<
Polars[3 x 2]
a s64 [1, 2, 3]
b s64 [4, 5, 6]
>Grouped examples
If the dataframe is grouped, put/3 is going to ignore the groups.
So the series must be of the same size of the entire dataframe.
iex> df = Explorer.DataFrame.new(a: [1, 2, 3])
iex> grouped = Explorer.DataFrame.group_by(df, "a")
iex> series = Explorer.Series.from_list([9, 8, 7])

Groups: ["a"]
a s64 [1, 2, 3]
b s64 [9, 8, 7]
>Tensor examples
You can also put tensors into the dataframe:
iex> df = Explorer.DataFrame.new([])
iex> Explorer.DataFrame.put(df, :a, Nx.tensor([1, 2, 3]))
#Explorer.DataFrame<
Polars[3 x 1]
a s64 [1, 2, 3]
>You can specify which dtype the tensor represents. For example, a tensor of s64 represents integers by default, but it may also represent timestamps in microseconds from the Unix epoch:
iex> df = Explorer.DataFrame.new([])
iex> Explorer.DataFrame.put(df, :a, Nx.tensor([1, 2, 3]), dtype: {:naive_datetime, :microsecond})
#Explorer.DataFrame<
Polars[3 x 1]

Relocates columns.
Change column order within a DataFrame. The before and after options are mutually exclusive.
Providing no options will relocate the columns to beginning of the DataFrame.
Options
:before- Specifies to relocate before the given column. It can be an index or a column name.:after- Specifies to relocate after the given column. It can be an index or a column name.
Examples
Relocate a single column

Renames columns.
Renaming a column that is also a group is going to rename the group as well.
To apply a function to a subset of columns, see rename_with/3.
Examples
You can pass in a list of new names:

>Grouped examples
When used in a grouped dataframe, sort_by is going to sort each group individually and then return the entire dataframe with the existing groups. If one of the sort_by columns is also a group, the sorting for that column is not going to work. It is necessary to first summarise the desired column and then sort_by it.
Here is an example using the Iris dataset. We group by species and then we try to sort the dataframe by species and petal length, but only "petal length" is taken into account because "species" is a group.
iex> df = Explorer.Datasets.iris()

>Create a dataframe from the result of a SQL query on an existing dataframe.
SQL Query is Unvalidated
Explorer does not validate the SQL query string provided. Instead it passes it directly to the backend. As such, the SQL dialect will be backend dependent and any errors will come directly from the backend.
from Clause
The from clause of the SQL query should reference a chosen table name. The
default name is "df". See the examples for a custom table name.
Examples
Basic example:
iex> df = Explorer.DataFrame.new(a: [1, 2, 3], b: ["x", "y", "y"])

>Summarise each group to a single row using Explorer.Query.
To summarise, you must either perform an aggregation (defined in Explorer.Series)

The query is compiled and runs efficiently against the dataframe. This function performs aggregations based on groups and it implicitly ungroups the resultant dataframe.
Notice
This is a macro. You must

Summarise each group to a single row using a callback function.
In case no group is set, the entire dataframe will be considered. The callback receives a lazy dataframe. A lazy dataframe does not hold any values, instead it stores all operations in order to execute all summarizations performantly.

>Make new columns by applying a native Elixir function to each row.
The native Elixir function should take a map (an element from
to_rows_stream/2) as input and return a map where the keys are the desired
new columns and the values are the values for that row.
See also the version of this function for a single series:
Warning
This is an expensive operation since data is stored in a columnar format. You should avoid converting a dataframe to rows where possible as it will incur significant overhead. Prefer instead to use the operations in this module rather than native Elixir ones. This function should only be used as a fallback when no equivalent DataFrame operation is available.
Options
:names- Column names to select for serializing. By default all columns will be returned.
Also, all options which are valid for to_rows_stream are valid here.
The :names field is recommended
It's recommended that you provide the :names option and to set it to only
those column names needed by your function. Otherwise, you'll be serializing
unnecessary information.
Examples
Pre-selecting with :names:
iex> alias Explorer.DataFrame, as: DF
iex> df = DF.new(
...> numbers: [1, 2],
...> datetime_local: [~N[2024-01-01 00:00:00], ~N[2024-01-01 00:00:00]],
...> timezone: ["Etc/UTC", "America/New_York"]
...> )
iex> DF.transform(df, [names: ["datetime_local", "timezone"]], fn row ->

@spec unnest(df :: t(), column_or_columns :: column_name() | [column_name()]) :: t()
Unnests one or multiple struct columns into individual columns.

>Functions: Multi-table
Combine two or more dataframes column-wise.
This function expects the dataframes to have the same number of rows, otherwise rows may be silently discarded. Eager backends may check whenever this happens and raise instead of silently fail. But this may not be possible for lazy dataframes as the number of rows is not known upfront.
When working with grouped dataframes, be aware that only groups from the first dataframe are kept in the resultant dataframe.
Examples
iex> df1 = Explorer.DataFrame.new(x: [1, 2, 3], y: ["a", "b", "c"])
iex> df2 = Explorer.DataFrame.new(z: [4, 5, 6], a: ["d", "e", "f"])

>Combine two dataframes column-wise.
When working with grouped dataframes, be aware that only groups from the left-hand side dataframe are kept in the resultant dataframe.
concat_columns(df1, df2) is equivalent to concat_columns([df1, df2]).
Combine two or more dataframes row-wise (stack).
Column names and dtypes must match. The only exception is for numeric columns that can be mixed together, and casted automatically to the "highest" dtype.
For example, if a column is represented by {:u, 16} and {:u, 32},
it will be casted to the highest unsigned integer dtype between the two,
which is {:u, 32}.
If it is mixing signed and unsigned integers, it will be casted to
the highest signed integer possible.
And if floats and integers are mixed together, Explorer will cast
them to the float dtype {:f, 64}.
When working with grouped dataframes, be aware that only groups from the first dataframe are kept in the resultant dataframe.

iex> df1 = Explorer.DataFrame.new(x: [1, 2, 3], y: ["a", "b", "c"])

Join two tables.
Join types
:inner- Returns all rows fromleftwhere there are matching values inright, and all columns fromleftandright.:left- Returns all rows fromleftand all columns fromleftandright. Rows inleftwith no match inrightwill havenilvalues in the new columns.:right- Returns all rows fromrightand all columns fromleftandright. Rows inrightwith no match inleftwill havenilvalues in the new columns.:outer- Returns all rows and all columns from bothleftandright. Where there are not matching values, returnsnilfor the one missing.:cross- Also known as a cartesian join. Returns all combinations ofleftandright. Can be very computationally expensive.
Options
:on- The column(s) to join on. Defaults to overlapping columns. Does not apply to cross join.:how- One of the join types (as an atom) described above. Defaults to:inner.

>Sample rows from a dataframe.
If given an integer as the second argument, it will return N samples. If given a float, it will return that proportion of the series.
Can sample with or without replacement.
For grouped dataframes, sample will take into account the rows of each group, meaning that if you try to get N samples and you have G groups, you will get N * G rows. See the examples below.
Options
:replace- If set totrue, each sample will be independent and therefore values may repeat. Required to betrueforngreater then the number of rows in the dataframe orfrac> 1.0. (default:false):seed- An integer to be used as a random seed. If nil, a random value between 0 and 2^64 - 1 will be used. (default:nil):shuffle- If set totrue, the resultant dataframe is going to be shuffle if the sample is equal to the size of the dataframe. (default:false)

>Slices rows at the given indices as a new dataframe.
The indices may be a list or series of indices, or a range. A list of indices does not support negative numbers. Ranges may be negative on either end, which are then normalized. Note ranges in Elixir are inclusive.
Slice works differently when a dataframe is grouped. It is going to consider the indices of each group instead of the entire dataframe. See the examples below.
If your intention is to grab a portion of each group,
prefer to use sample/3 instead.

iex> df = Explorer.DataFrame.new(a: [1, 2, 3], b: ["a", "b", "c"])

@spec from_query( Adbc.Connection.t(), query :: String.t(), params :: [term()], opts :: Keyword.t() ) :: {:ok, t()} | {:error, Exception.t()}
Reads data from a query.
conn must be a Adbc.Connection process. sql is a string representing
the sql query and params is the list of query parameters. See Adbc
for more information.
Example
In order to read data from a database, you must list :adbc as a dependency,
download the relevant driver, and start both database and connection processes
in your supervision tree.
First, add :adbc as a dependency in your mix.exs:
{:adbc, "~> 0.1"}Now, in your config/config.exs, configure the drivers you are going to use
(see Adbc module docs for more information on supported drivers):
config :adbc, :drivers, [:sqlite]If you are using a notebook or scripting, you can also use Adbc.download_driver!/1
to dynamically download one.
Then start the database and the relevant connection processes in your supervision tree:
children = [
{Adbc.Database,
driver: :sqlite,
process_options: [name: MyApp.DB]},
{Adbc.Connection,
database: MyApp.DB,
process_options: [name: MyApp.Conn]}
]
Supervisor.start_link(children, strategy: :one_for_one)In a notebook, the above would look like this:
db = Kino.start_child!({Adbc.Database, driver: :sqlite})
conn = Kino.start_child!({Adbc.Connection, database: db})And now you can make queries with:
# For named connections
{:ok, _} = Explorer.DataFrame.from_query(MyApp.Conn, "SELECT 123", [])
# When using the conn PID directly
{:ok, _} = Explorer.DataFrame.from_query(conn, "SELECT 123", [])Parameterized queries are possible by passing a list of parameters as the third argument. The
query string will use a different placeholder depending on the driver. For example, ? for
SQLite and $1, $2, etc. for PostgreSQL.
# For SQLite
{:ok, _} = Explorer.DataFrame.from_query(conn, "SELECT ?", [123])
# When using PostgreSQL
{:ok, _} = Explorer.DataFrame.from_query(conn, "SELECT $1", [123])Options
:backend- The Explorer backend to use. Defaults to the value returned byExplorer.Backend.get/0.:lazy- force the results into the lazy version of the current backend.

(default:nil):streaming- Tells the backend if it should use streaming, which means that the dataframe is not loaded to the memory at once, and instead it is written in chunks from a lazy dataframe. Defaults to true for local filesystems, ignored on all others.
Similar to to_csv/3 but raises if there is a problem reading the CSV.
@spec to_ipc(df :: t(), filename :: String.t() | fs_entry(), opts :: Keyword.t()) :: :ok | {:error, Exception.t()}
Writes a dataframe to an IPC file.
Apache IPC is a language-agnostic columnar data structure that can be used to store dataframes. It excels as a format for quickly exchange data between different programming languages.
Groups are ignored if the dataframe is using any.
Options
:compression- The compression algorithm to use when writing files. Supported options are:nil(uncompressed, default):zstd:lz4.
:streaming- Tells the backend if it should use streaming, which means that the dataframe is not loaded to the memory at once, and instead it is written in chunks from a lazy dataframe.This option has no effect on eager - the default - dataframes. It defaults to
true.:config- An optional struct, keyword list or map, normally associated with remote file systems. See IO section for more details. (default:nil)
Similar to to_ipc/3, but raises in case of error.
Writes a dataframe to an IPC Stream file.
Arrow IPC Streams provide a streaming protocol or “format" for sending an arbitrary length sequence of record batches. The format must be processed from start to end, and does not support random access.
Options
:compression- The compression algorithm to use when writing files. Supported options are:nil(uncompressed, default):zstd:lz4.
:config- An optional struct, keyword list or map, normally associated with remote file systems. See IO section for more details. (default:nil)
Similar to to_ipc_stream/3, but raises in case of error.
@spec to_ndjson(df :: t(), filename :: String.t() | fs_entry(), opts :: Keyword.t()) :: :ok | {:error, Exception.t()}
Writes a dataframe to a ndjson file.
Groups are ignored if the dataframe is using any.
NDJSON are files that contains JSON files separated by new lines. They are often used as structured logs.
Options
:config- An optional struct, keyword list or map, normally associated with remote file systems. See IO section for more details. (default:nil)
Similar to to_ndjson/3, but raises in case of error.
@spec to_parquet(df :: t(), filename :: String.t() | fs_entry(), opts :: Keyword.t()) :: :ok | {:error, Exception.t()}
Writes a dataframe to a parquet file.
Groups are ignored if the dataframe is using any.
Options
:compression- The compression algorithm to use when writing files. Where a compression level is available, this can be passed as a tuple, such as{:zstd, 3}. Supported options are:nil(uncompressed, default):snappy:gzip(with levels 1-9):brotli(with levels 1-11):zstd(with levels -7-22):lz4raw.
:streaming- Tells the backend if it should use streaming, which means that the dataframe is not loaded to the memory at once, and instead it is written in chunks from a lazy dataframe.This option has no effect on eager - the default - dataframes. It defaults to
true.:config- An optional struct, keyword list or map, normally associated with remote file systems. See IO section for more details. (default:nil)
Similar to to_parquet/3, but raises in case of error.
Types
@type column() :: column_name() | non_neg_integer()
Represents a column name or its index.
Represents a column name as atom or string.
@type column_names() :: [column_name()]
Represents multiple column names as atoms or strings.
Represents a column pair where the value is a column name or
a column index, and the value is of type value.
@type columns() :: [column()] | Range.t() | (String.t() -> boolean()) | (String.t(), Explorer.Series.dtype() -> boolean())
Represents multiple columns.
The columns may be specified as one of:
a list of columns indexes or names as atoms and strings
a range
a regex that keeps only the names matching the regex
a one-arity function that receives column names and returns true for column names to keep
a two-arity function that receives column names and types and returns true for column names to keep
@type fs_entry() :: FSS.entry()
Represents a filesystem entry, that can be local, S3 or URL.
@type sort_callback_result() :: Explorer.Series.lazy_t() | [Explorer.Series.lazy_t()] | [{:asc | :desc, Explorer.Series.lazy_t()}]
@type t() :: %Explorer.DataFrame{ data: Explorer.Backend.DataFrame.t(), dtypes: %{required(String.t()) => Explorer.Series.dtype()}, groups: [String.t()], names: [String.t()], remote: term() }
Represents a dataframe.
