Static members

Static memberDescription
ExpandColumns(frame, names)
Signature: (frame:Frame<'R,string> * names:seq<string>) -> Frame<'R,string>
Type parameters: 'R

Creates a new data frame where the specified columns are expanded based on runtime structure of the objects they store. A column can be expanded if it is Series<string, T> or IDictionary<K, V> or if it is any .NET object with readable properties.

Example

Given a data frame with a series that contains tuples, you can expand the tuple members and get a frame with columns S.Item1 and S.Item2:

1: 
2: 
let df = frame [ "S" => series [ 1 => (1, "One"); 2 => (2, "Two") ] ]  
df.ExpandColumns ["S"]

Parameters

  • names - Names of columns in the original data frame to be expanded
  • frame - Input data frame whose columns will be expanded
val df : obj

Full name: docs.df
ExpandColumns(frame, nesting, dynamic)
Signature: (frame:Frame<'R,string> * nesting:int * dynamic:bool) -> Frame<'R,string>
Type parameters: 'R

Creates a new data frame where all columns are expanded based on runtime structure of the objects they store. The expansion is performed recrusively to the specified depth. A column can be expanded if it is Series<string, T> or IDictionary<K, V> or if it is any .NET object with readable properties.

Parameters

  • nesting - The nesting level for expansion. When set to 0, nothing is done.
IndexColumnsWith(frame, keys)
Signature: (frame:Frame<'R,'C> * keys:seq<'TNewRowIndex>) -> Frame<'R,'TNewRowIndex>
Type parameters: 'R, 'C, 'TNewRowIndex

Type parameters: 'TRowKey1, 'TRowKey2, 'TColumnKey

Given a data frame whose row index has two levels, create a series whose keys are the unique first level keys, and whose values are those corresponding frames selected from the original data.

NestBy(frame, keyselector)
Signature: (frame:Frame<'TRowKey1,'TColumnKey> * keyselector:Func<'TRowKey1,'TRowKey2>) -> Series<'TRowKey2,Frame<'TRowKey1,'TColumnKey>>
Type parameters: 'TRowKey1, 'TColumnKey, 'TRowKey2

RealignRows(frame, keys)
Signature: (frame:Frame<'R,'C> * keys:seq<'R>) -> Frame<'R,'C>
Type parameters: 'R, 'C

Align the existing data to a specified collection of row keys. Values in the data frame that do not match any new key are dropped, new keys (that were not in the original data frame) are assigned missing values.

Parameters

  • frame - Source data frame that is to be realigned.
  • keys - A sequence of new row keys. The keys must have the same type as the original frame keys (because the rows are realigned).
SortColumnsByKey(frame)
Signature: frame:Frame<'TRowKey,'TColumnKey> -> Frame<'TRowKey,'TColumnKey>
Type parameters: 'TRowKey, 'TColumnKey

Returns a data frame that contains the same data as the input, but whose columns are an ordered series. This allows using operations that are only available on indexed series such as alignment and inexact lookup.

Transpose(frame)
Signature: frame:Frame<'TRowKey,'TColumnKey> -> Frame<'TColumnKey,'TRowKey>
Type parameters: 'TRowKey, 'TColumnKey

Returns a transposed data frame. The rows of the original data frame are used as the columns of the new one (and vice versa). Use this operation if you have a data frame and you mostly need to access its rows as a series (because accessing columns as a series is more efficient).

Parameters

Signature: (frame:Frame<'R,'C> * r:'C * c:'C * op:Func<Frame<'R,'C>,'T>) -> Frame<'RNew,'CNew>
Type parameters: 'R, 'C, 'RNew, 'CNew, 'T

Creates a new data frame resulting from a 'pivot' operation. Consider a denormalized data frame representing a table: column labels are field names & table values are observations of those fields. pivotTable buckets the rows along two axes, according to the values of the columns r and c; and then computes a value for the frame of rows that land in each bucket.

Parameters

  • r - A column key to group on for the resulting row index
  • c - A column key to group on for the resulting col index
  • op - A function computing a value from the corresponding bucket frame

Save data frame to a CSV file or to a Stream. When calling the operation, you can specify whether you want to save the row keys or not (and headers for the keys) and you can also specify the separator (use \t for writing TSV files). When specifying file name ending with .tsv, the \t separator is used automatically.

Parameters

  • writer - Specifies the text writer to which the CSV data should be written
  • includeRowKeys - When set to true, the row key is also written to the output file

ToDataTable(frame, rowKeyNames)
Signature: (frame:Frame<'R,'C> * rowKeyNames:seq<string>) -> DataTable
Type parameters: 'R, 'C

Returns the data of the frame as a .NET DataTable object. The column keys are automatically converted to strings that are used as column names. The row index is turned into an additional column with the specified name (the function takes the name as a sequence to support hierarchical keys, but typically you can write just frame.ToDataTable(["KeyName"]).

Parameters

  • rowKeyNames - Specifies the names of the row key components (or just a single row key name if the row index is not hierarchical).

Static memberDescription
DropSparseColumns(frame)
Signature: frame:Frame<'TRowKey,'TColumnKey> -> Frame<'TRowKey,'TColumnKey>
Type parameters: 'TRowKey, 'TColumnKey

Creates a new data frame that contains only those columns of the original data frame that are dense, meaning that they have a value for each row. The resulting data frame has the same number of rows, but may have fewer columns (or no columns at all).

Parameters

  • frame - An input data frame that is to be filtered
DropSparseRows(frame)
Signature: frame:Frame<'TRowKey,'TColumnKey> -> Frame<'TRowKey,'TColumnKey>
Type parameters: 'TRowKey, 'TColumnKey

Creates a new data frame that contains only those rows of the original data frame that are dense, meaning that they have a value for each column. The resulting data frame has the same number of columns, but may have fewer rows (or no rows at all).

Parameters

  • frame - An input data frame that is to be filtered
FillMissing(frame, f)
Signature: (frame:Frame<'TRowKey,'TColumnKey> * f:Func<Series<'TRowKey,'T>,'TRowKey,'T>) -> Frame<'TRowKey,'TColumnKey>
Type parameters: 'TRowKey, 'TColumnKey, 'T

Fill missing values in the frame using the specified function. The specified function is called with all series and keys for which the frame does not contain value and the result of the call is used in place of the missing value.

The operation is only applied to columns (series) that contain values of the same type as the return type of the provided filling function. The operation does not attempt to convert between numeric values (so a series containing float will not be converted to a series of int).

Parameters

  • frame - An input data frame that is to be filled
  • f - A function that takes a series Series<R, T> together with a key K in the series and generates a value to be used in a place where the original series contains a missing value.
FillMissing(frame, direction)
Signature: (frame:Frame<'TRowKey,'TColumnKey> * direction:Direction) -> Frame<'TRowKey,'TColumnKey>
Type parameters: 'TRowKey, 'TColumnKey

Fill missing values in the data frame with the nearest available value (using the specified direction). Note that the frame may still contain missing values after call to this function (e.g. if the first value is not available and we attempt to fill series with previous values). This operation can only be used on ordered frames.

Parameters

  • frame - An input data frame that is to be filled
  • direction - Specifies the direction used when searching for the nearest available value. Backward means that we want to look for the first value with a smaller key while Forward searches for the nearest greater key.
FillMissing(frame, value)
Signature: (frame:Frame<'TRowKey,'TColumnKey> * value:'T) -> Frame<'TRowKey,'TColumnKey>
Type parameters: 'TRowKey, 'TColumnKey, 'T

Fill missing values of a given type in the frame with a constant value. The operation is only applied to columns (series) that contain values of the same type as the provided filling value. The operation does not attempt to convert between numeric values (so a series containing float will not be converted to a series of int).

Parameters

  • frame - An input data frame that is to be filled
  • value - A constant value that is used to fill all missing values
