xarray.CFTimeIndex.value_counts¶
-
CFTimeIndex.
value_counts
(normalize=False, sort=True, ascending=False, bins=None, dropna=True)¶ Return a Series containing counts of unique values.
The resulting object will be in descending order so that the first element is the most frequently-occurring element. Excludes NA values by default.
- Parameters
normalize (bool, default False) – If True then the object returned will contain the relative frequencies of the unique values.
sort (bool, default True) – Sort by frequencies.
ascending (bool, default False) – Sort in ascending order.
bins (int, optional) – Rather than count values, group them into half-open bins, a convenience for
pd.cut
, only works with numeric data.dropna (bool, default True) – Don’t include counts of NaN.
- Returns
- Return type

Examples
>>> index = pd.Index([3, 1, 2, 3, 4, np.nan]) >>> index.value_counts() 3.0 2 4.0 1 2.0 1 1.0 1 dtype: int64
With normalize set to True, returns the relative frequency by dividing all values by the sum of values.
>>> s = pd.Series([3, 1, 2, 3, 4, np.nan]) >>> s.value_counts(normalize=True) 3.0 0.4 4.0 0.2 2.0 0.2 1.0 0.2 dtype: float64
bins
Bins can be useful for going from a continuous variable to a categorical variable; instead of counting unique apparitions of values, divide the index in the specified number of half-open bins.
>>> s.value_counts(bins=3) (2.0, 3.0] 2 (0.996, 2.0] 2 (3.0, 4.0] 1 dtype: int64
dropna
With dropna set to False we can also see NaN index values.
>>> s.value_counts(dropna=False) 3.0 2 NaN 1 4.0 1 2.0 1 1.0 1 dtype: int64
