vectorize conditional assignment in pandas dataframe

One simple method would be to assign the default value first and then perform 2 loc calls: If you wanted to use np.where then you could do it with a nested np.where: So here we define the first condition as where x is less than -2, return 1, then we have another np.where which tests the other condition where x is greater … Read more

Using Numpy Vectorize on Functions that Return Vectors

numpy.vectorize takes a function f:a->b and turns it into g:a[]->b[]. This works fine when a and b are scalars, but I can’t think of a reason why it wouldn’t work with b as an ndarray or list, i.e. f:a->b[] and g:a[]->b[][] For example: This yields: Ok, so that gives the right values, but the wrong dtype. And even worse: yields: So this … Read more
