python - Finding common rows (intersection) in two Pandas dataframes

Question

Assume I have two dataframes of this format (call them df1 and df2):

+------------------------+------------------------+--------+
|        user_id         |      business_id       | rating |
+------------------------+------------------------+--------+
| rLtl8ZkDX5vH5nAx9C3q5Q | eIxSLxzIlfExI6vgAbn2JA |      4 |
| C6IOtaaYdLIT5fWd7ZYIuA | eIxSLxzIlfExI6vgAbn2JA |      5 |
| mlBC3pN9GXlUUfQi1qBBZA | KoIRdcIfh3XWxiCeV1BDmA |      3 |
+------------------------+------------------------+--------+

I'm looking to get a dataframe of all the rows that have a common user_id in df1 and df2. (ie. if a user_id is in both df1 and df2, include the two rows in the output dataframe)

I can think of many ways to approach this, but they all strike me as clunky. For example, we could find all the unique user_ids in each dataframe, create a set of each, find their intersection, filter the two dataframes with the resulting set and concatenate the two filtered dataframes.

Maybe that's the best approach, but I know Pandas is clever. Is there a simpler way to do this? I've looked at merge but I don't think that's what I need.

Answer 1

我的理解是这个问题在这篇文章中得到了更好的回答。

但简而言之，用这种方法对 OP 的回答很简单：

s1 = pd.merge(df1, df2, how='inner', on=['user_id'])

这为 s1 提供了 5 列：user_id 以及 df1 和 df2 中的其他两列。

如果我理解正确，您可以使用Series.isin()and的组合DataFrame.append()：

In [80]: df1
Out[80]:
   rating  user_id
0       2  0x21abL
1       1  0x21abL
2       1   0xdafL
3       0  0x21abL
4       4  0x1d14L
5       2  0x21abL
6       1  0x21abL
7       0   0xdafL
8       4  0x1d14L
9       1  0x21abL

In [81]: df2
Out[81]:
   rating      user_id
0       2      0x1d14L
1       1    0xdbdcad7
2       1      0x21abL
3       3      0x21abL
4       3      0x21abL
5       1  0x5734a81e2
6       2      0x1d14L
7       0       0xdafL
8       0      0x1d14L
9       4  0x5734a81e2

In [82]: ind = df2.user_id.isin(df1.user_id) & df1.user_id.isin(df2.user_id)

In [83]: ind
Out[83]:
0     True
1    False
2     True
3     True
4     True
5    False
6     True
7     True
8     True
9    False
Name: user_id, dtype: bool

In [84]: df1[ind].append(df2[ind])
Out[84]:
   rating  user_id
0       2  0x21abL
2       1   0xdafL
3       0  0x21abL
4       4  0x1d14L
6       1  0x21abL
7       0   0xdafL
8       4  0x1d14L
0       2  0x1d14L
2       1  0x21abL
3       3  0x21abL
4       3  0x21abL
6       2  0x1d14L
7       0   0xdafL
8       0  0x1d14L

这本质上是您描述为“笨拙”的算法，使用惯用pandas方法。注意重复的行索引。df1另外，请注意，如果并且df2没有重叠的行索引，这不会给您预期的输出，即，如果

In [93]: df1.index & df2.index
Out[93]: Int64Index([], dtype='int64')

事实上，如果它们的行索引不相等，它不会给出预期的输出。

Answer 3

在 SQL 中，这个问题可以通过以下几种方法来解决：

select * from df1 where exists (select * from df2 where df2.user_id = df1.user_id)
union all
select * from df2 where exists (select * from df1 where df1.user_id = df2.user_id)

或加入然后反透视（可能在 SQL Server 中）

select
    df1.user_id,
    c.rating
from df1
    inner join df2 on df2.user_i = df1.user_id
    outer apply (
        select df1.rating union all
        select df2.rating
    ) as c

第二个可以用 pandas 编写，例如：

>>> df1 = pd.DataFrame({"user_id":[1,2,3], "rating":[10, 15, 20]})
>>> df2 = pd.DataFrame({"user_id":[3,4,5], "rating":[30, 35, 40]})
>>>
>>> df4 = df[['user_id', 'rating_1']].rename(columns={'rating_1':'rating'})
>>> df = pd.merge(df1, df2, on='user_id', suffixes=['_1', '_2'])
>>> df3 = df[['user_id', 'rating_1']].rename(columns={'rating_1':'rating'})
>>> df4 = df[['user_id', 'rating_2']].rename(columns={'rating_2':'rating'})
>>> pd.concat([df3, df4], axis=0)
   user_id  rating
0        3      20
0        3      30
