How to calculate conditional probability of values in dataframe pandas-python?

Question

I want to calculate conditional probabilites of ratings(\'A\',\'B\',\'C\') in ratings column.

    company     model    rating   type
0   ford       mustang          


        

Answer 1

You can use .groupby() and the built-in .div():

rating_probs = df.groupby('rating').size().div(len(df))

rating
A    0.333333
B    0.500000
C    0.166667

and the conditional probs:

df.groupby(['type', 'rating']).size().div(len(df)).div(rating_probs, axis=0, level='rating')

coupe  A         0.500000
       B         0.333333
sedan  A         0.500000
       B         0.666667
       C         1.000000

Answer 2

You need add reindex for add 0 values for missing pairs:

mux = pd.MultiIndex.from_product([df['rating'].unique(), df['type'].unique()])
s = (df.groupby(['rating', 'type']).count() / df.groupby('rating').count())['model']
s = s.reindex(mux, fill_value=0)
print (s)
A  coupe    0.500000
   sedan    0.500000
B  coupe    0.333333
   sedan    0.666667
C  coupe    0.000000
   sedan    1.000000
Name: model, dtype: float64

And another solution, thanks Zero:

s.unstack(fill_value=0).stack()

You can use groupby:

In [2]: df = pd.DataFrame({'company': ['ford', 'chevy', 'ford', 'ford', 'ford', 'toyota'],
                     'model': ['mustang', 'camaro', 'fiesta', 'focus', 'taurus', 'camry'],
                     'rating': ['A', 'B', 'C', 'A', 'B', 'B'],
                     'type': ['coupe', 'coupe', 'sedan', 'sedan', 'sedan', 'sedan']})

In [3]: df.groupby('rating').count()['model'] / len(df)
Out[3]:
rating
A    0.333333
B    0.500000
C    0.166667
Name: model, dtype: float64

In [4]: (df.groupby(['rating', 'type']).count() / df.groupby('rating').count())['model']
Out[4]:
rating  type
A       coupe    0.500000
        sedan    0.500000
B       coupe    0.333333
        sedan    0.666667
C       sedan    1.000000
Name: model, dtype: float64

Answer 4

first, convert into a pandas dataframe. by doing so, you can take advantage of pandas' groupby methods.

collection = {"company": ["ford", "chevy", "ford", "ford", "ford", "toyota"],
              "model": ["mustang", "camaro", "fiesta", "focus", "taurus", "camry"],
              "rating": ["A", "B", "C", "A", "B", "B"],
              "type": ["coupe", "coupe", "sedan", "sedan", "sedan", "sedan"]}

df = pd.DataFrame(collection)

then, groupby based on events (ie rating).

df_s = df.groupby('rating')['type'].value_counts() / df.groupby('rating')['type'].count()
df_f = df_s.reset_index(name='cpt')
df_f.head()  # your conditional probability table
