Math Methods

df = rc.DataFrame({'a': [1, 2, 3], 'b': [2, 8, 9]})
# test for equality
df.equality('a', value=3)
[False, False, True]
# all math methods can operate on a subset of the index

# add two columns
df.add('a', 'b')

# subtract
df.subtract('b', 'a')
[1, 6, 6]
# multiply

[2, 27]
# divide
df.divide('b', 'a')

Multi-Index

Raccoon does not have true hierarchical mulit-index capabilities like Pandas, but attempts to mimic some of the capabilities with the use of tuples as the index. Raccoon does not provide any checking to make sure the indexes are all the same length or any other integrity checking.

tuples = [('a', 1, 3), ('a', 1, 4), ('a', 2, 3), ('b', 1, 4), ('b', 2, 1), ('b', 3, 3)]
df = rc.DataFrame({'a': [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]}, index=tuples)
print(df)
index          a
-----------  ---
('a', 1, 3)    1
('a', 1, 4)    2
('a', 2, 3)    3
('b', 1, 4)    4
('b', 2, 1)    5
('b', 3, 3)    6

The select_index method works with tuples by allowing the * to act as a wild card for matching.

compare = ('a', None, None)
df.select_index(compare)
[True, True, True, False, False, False]
compare = ('a', None, 3)
df.select_index(compare, 'boolean')
[True, False, True, False, False, False]
compare = (None, 2, None)
df.select_index(compare, 'value')
[('a', 2, 3), ('b', 2, 1)]
compare = (None, None, 3)
df.select_index(compare, 'value')
[('a', 1, 3), ('a', 2, 3), ('b', 3, 3)]
compare = (None, None, None)
df.select_index(compare)
[True, True, True, True, True, True]

Sorted DataFrames

DataFrames will be set to sorted by default if no index is given at initialization. If an index is given at initialization then the parameter sorted must be set to True

df = rc.DataFrame({'a': [3, 5, 4], 'b': [6, 8, 7]}, index=[12, 15, 14], sort=True)

When sorted=True on initialization the data will be sorted by index to start
