Conditional selection
In pandas conditional selection is filtering some records according to certain criteria
, The syntax is df[filter] where filter is a sequence of boolean values of the same length
as the table, and the command allows us to select/filter records according to a certain
condition.
# apply simple filter
# .iloc and .loc are equivalent here
test_df.iloc[filter, :]
test_df.loc[filter, :]
A B C D E
R0 A3 0 -1.0 0.0 si
R1 B1 1 NaN 0.0 no
R4 A1 4 0.0 NaN None
R5 A3 1 2.0 1.0 si
# filter columns containing a list of column names
columns = ['A', 'B', 'C']
# apply columns filter
test_df.loc[:, columns]
test_df[columns] #equivalent to previous line
