max from a groupby[col].agg('max) inner vals [duplicate]
Solution 1:
In [1]: df
Out[1]:
Sp Mt Value count
0 MM1 S1 a 3
1 MM1 S1 n 2
2 MM1 S3 cb 5
3 MM2 S3 mk 8
4 MM2 S4 bg 10
5 MM2 S4 dgd 1
6 MM4 S2 rd 2
7 MM4 S2 cb 2
8 MM4 S2 uyi 7
In [2]: df.groupby(['Mt'], sort=False)['count'].max()
Out[2]:
Mt
S1 3
S3 8
S4 10
S2 7
Name: count
To get the indices of the original DF you can do:
In [3]: idx = df.groupby(['Mt'])['count'].transform(max) == df['count']
In [4]: df[idx]
Out[4]:
Sp Mt Value count
0 MM1 S1 a 3
3 MM2 S3 mk 8
4 MM2 S4 bg 10
8 MM4 S2 uyi 7
Note that if you have multiple max values per group, all will be returned.
Update
On a hail mary chance that this is what the OP is requesting:
In [5]: df['count_max'] = df.groupby(['Mt'])['count'].transform(max)
In [6]: df
Out[6]:
Sp Mt Value count count_max
0 MM1 S1 a 3 3
1 MM1 S1 n 2 3
2 MM1 S3 cb 5 8
3 MM2 S3 mk 8 8
4 MM2 S4 bg 10 10
5 MM2 S4 dgd 1 10
6 MM4 S2 rd 2 7
7 MM4 S2 cb 2 7
8 MM4 S2 uyi 7 7
Solution 2:
You can sort the dataFrame by count and then remove duplicates. I think it's easier:
df.sort_values('count', ascending=False).drop_duplicates(['Sp','Mt'])
Solution 3:
Easy solution would be to apply : idxmax() function to get indices of rows with max values. This would filter out all the rows with max value in the group.
In [365]: import pandas as pd
In [366]: df = pd.DataFrame({
'sp' : ['MM1', 'MM1', 'MM1', 'MM2', 'MM2', 'MM2', 'MM4', 'MM4','MM4'],
'mt' : ['S1', 'S1', 'S3', 'S3', 'S4', 'S4', 'S2', 'S2', 'S2'],
'val' : ['a', 'n', 'cb', 'mk', 'bg', 'dgb', 'rd', 'cb', 'uyi'],
'count' : [3,2,5,8,10,1,2,2,7]
})
In [367]: df
Out[367]:
count mt sp val
0 3 S1 MM1 a
1 2 S1 MM1 n
2 5 S3 MM1 cb
3 8 S3 MM2 mk
4 10 S4 MM2 bg
5 1 S4 MM2 dgb
6 2 S2 MM4 rd
7 2 S2 MM4 cb
8 7 S2 MM4 uyi
### Apply idxmax() and use .loc() on dataframe to filter the rows with max values:
In [368]: df.loc[df.groupby(["sp", "mt"])["count"].idxmax()]
Out[368]:
count mt sp val
0 3 S1 MM1 a
2 5 S3 MM1 cb
3 8 S3 MM2 mk
4 10 S4 MM2 bg
8 7 S2 MM4 uyi
### Just to show what values are returned by .idxmax() above:
In [369]: df.groupby(["sp", "mt"])["count"].idxmax().values
Out[369]: array([0, 2, 3, 4, 8])
