Efficient Groupby When Rows of Groups Are Contiguous: A Comparative Analysis
Efficient Groupby When Rows of Groups Are Contiguous? Introduction In this article, we’ll explore the performance of groupby in pandas when dealing with contiguous blocks of rows. We’ll discuss why groupby might not be the most efficient solution and introduce a more optimized approach using NumPy and Numba. The Context Suppose we have a time series dataset stored in a pandas DataFrame, sorted by its DatetimeIndex. We want to apply a cumulative sum to blocks of contiguous rows, which are defined by a custom DatetimeIndex.
