pandas.DataFrame

class pandas.DataFrame(data=None, index=None, columns=None, dtype=None, copy=False)[source]

Two-dimensional size-mutable, potentially heterogeneous tabular data structure with labeled axes (rows and columns). Arithmetic operations align on both row and column labels. Can be thought of as a dict-like container for Series objects. The primary pandas data structure

Parameters:

data : numpy ndarray (structured or homogeneous), dict, or DataFrame Dict can contain Series, arrays, constants, or list-like objects index : Index or array-like Index to use for resulting frame. Will default to np.arange(n) if no indexing information part of input data and no index provided columns : Index or array-like Column labels to use for resulting frame. Will default to np.arange(n) if no column labels are provided dtype : dtype, default None Data type to force, otherwise infer copy : boolean, default False Copy data from inputs. Only affects DataFrame / 2d ndarray input

Examples

>>> d = {'col1': ts1, 'col2': ts2}
>>> df = DataFrame(data=d, index=index)
>>> df2 = DataFrame(np.random.randn(10, 5))
>>> df3 = DataFrame(np.random.randn(10, 5),
...                 columns=['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'])
