Return a Series containing counts of unique values.
The resulting object will be in descending order so that the first element is the most frequently-occurring element. Excludes NA values by default.
If True then the object returned will contain the relative frequencies of the unique values.
Sort by frequencies when True. Preserve the order of the data when False.
Sort in ascending order.
Rather than count values, group them into half-open bins, a convenience for pd.cut
, only works with numeric data.
Donât include counts of NaN.
Series containing counts of unique values.
Examples
>>> index = pd.Index([3, 1, 2, 3, 4, np.nan]) >>> index.value_counts() 3.0 2 1.0 1 2.0 1 4.0 1 Name: count, dtype: int64
With normalize set to True, returns the relative frequency by dividing all values by the sum of values.
>>> s = pd.Series([3, 1, 2, 3, 4, np.nan]) >>> s.value_counts(normalize=True) 3.0 0.4 1.0 0.2 2.0 0.2 4.0 0.2 Name: proportion, dtype: float64
bins
Bins can be useful for going from a continuous variable to a categorical variable; instead of counting unique apparitions of values, divide the index in the specified number of half-open bins.
>>> s.value_counts(bins=3) (0.996, 2.0] 2 (2.0, 3.0] 2 (3.0, 4.0] 1 Name: count, dtype: int64
dropna
With dropna set to False we can also see NaN index values.
>>> s.value_counts(dropna=False) 3.0 2 1.0 1 2.0 1 4.0 1 NaN 1 Name: count, dtype: int64
Categorical Dtypes
Rows with categorical type will be counted as one group if they have same categories and order. In the example below, even though a
, c
, and d
all have the same data types of category
, only c
and d
will be counted as one group since a
doesnât have the same categories.
>>> df = pd.DataFrame({"a": [1], "b": ["2"], "c": [3], "d": [3]}) >>> df = df.astype({"a": "category", "c": "category", "d": "category"}) >>> df a b c d 0 1 2 3 3
>>> df.dtypes a category b object c category d category dtype: object
>>> df.dtypes.value_counts() category 2 category 1 object 1 Name: count, dtype: int64
