Cumsum reset at NaN

Question

If I have a pandas.core.series.Series named ts of either 1's or NaN's like this:

3382   NaN
3381   NaN
...
3369   NaN
3368   NaN
...
15     1
10   NaN
11     1
12     1
13     1
9    NaN
8    NaN
7    NaN
6    NaN
3    NaN
4      1
5      1
2    NaN
1    NaN
0    NaN

I would like to calculate cumsum of this serie but it should be reset (set to zero) at the location of the NaNs like below:

3382   0
3381   0
...
3369   0
3368   0
...
15     1
10     0
11     1
12     2
13     3
9      0
8      0
7      0
6      0
3      0
4      1
5      2
2      0
1      0
0      0

Ideally I would like to have a vectorized solution !

I ever see a similar question with Matlab : Matlab cumsum reset at NaN?

but I don't know how to translate this line d = diff([0 c(n)]);

Answer 1

A simple Numpy translation of your Matlab code is this:

import numpy as np

v = np.array([1., 1., 1., np.nan, 1., 1., 1., 1., np.nan, 1.])
n = np.isnan(v)
a = ~n
c = np.cumsum(a)
d = np.diff(np.concatenate(([0.], c[n])))
v[n] = -d
np.cumsum(v)

Executing this code returns the result array([ 1., 2., 3., 0., 1., 2., 3., 4., 0., 1.]). This solution will only be as valid as the original one, but maybe it will help you come up with something better if it isn't sufficient for your purposes.

Answer 2

Here's a slightly more pandas-onic way to do it:

v = Series([1, 1, 1, nan, 1, 1, 1, 1, nan, 1], dtype=float)
n = v.isnull()
a = ~n
c = a.cumsum()
index = c[n].index  # need the index for reconstruction after the np.diff
d = Series(np.diff(np.hstack(([0.], c[n]))), index=index)
v[n] = -d
result = v.cumsum()

Note that either of these requires that you're using pandas at least at 9da899b or newer. If you aren't then you can cast the bool dtype to an int64 or float64 dtype:

v = Series([1, 1, 1, nan, 1, 1, 1, 1, nan, 1], dtype=float)
n = v.isnull()
a = ~n
c = a.astype(float).cumsum()
index = c[n].index  # need the index for reconstruction after the np.diff
d = Series(np.diff(np.hstack(([0.], c[n]))), index=index)
v[n] = -d
result = v.cumsum()

Answer 3

Even more pandas-onic way to do it:

v = pd.Series([1., 3., 1., np.nan, 1., 1., 1., 1., np.nan, 1.])
cumsum = v.cumsum().fillna(method='pad')
reset = -cumsum[v.isnull()].diff().fillna(cumsum)
result = v.where(v.notnull(), reset).cumsum()

Contrary to the matlab code, this also works for values different from 1.

Answer 4

If you can accept a similar boolean Series b, try

(b.cumsum() - b.cumsum().where(~b).fillna(method='pad').fillna(0)).astype(int)

Starting from your Series ts, either b = (ts == 1) or b = ~ts.isnull().
