将行附加到 DataFrame 的最快和最有效的方法是什么？

Question

我有一个大型数据集，我必须将其转换为 .csv 格式，它由 29 列和 1M+ 行组成。我认为随着数据框变大，向其附加任何行会越来越耗时。我想知道是否有更快的方法，分享代码中的相关片段。

欢迎提出任何建议。


df = DataFrame()

for startID in range(0, 100000, 1000):
    s1 = time.time()
    tempdf = DataFrame()
    url = f'https://******/products?startId={startID}&size=1000'

    r = requests.get(url, headers={'****-Token': 'xxxxxx', 'Merchant-Id': '****'})
    jsonList = r.json()  # datatype= list, contains= dict

    normalized = json_normalize(jsonList)
    # type(normal) = pandas.DataFrame
    print(startID / 1000) # status indicator
    for series in normalized.iterrows():  
        series = series[1] # iterrows returns tuple (index, series)
        offers = series['offers']
        series = series.drop(columns='offers')
        length = len(offers)

        for offer in offers:
            n = json_normalize(offer).squeeze()  # squeeze() casts DataFrame into Series
            concatinated = concat([series, n]).to_frame().transpose()
            tempdf = tempdf.append(concatinated, ignore_index=True)

    del normalized
    df = df.append(tempdf)
    f1 = time.time()
    print(f1 - s1, ' seconds')

df.to_csv('out.csv')

正如 Mohit Motwani 所建议的，最快的方法是将数据收集到字典中，然后将所有数据加载到数据框中。下面是一些速度测量示例：

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import time
import random

end_value = 10000

创建字典列表并在最后将所有加载到数据框中的测量

start_time = time.time()
dictinary_list = []
for i in range(0, end_value, 1):
    dictionary_data = {k: random.random() for k in range(30)}
    dictionary_list.append(dictionary_data)

df_final = pd.DataFrame.from_dict(dictionary_list)

end_time = time.time()
print('Execution time = %.6f seconds' % (end_time-start_time))

执行时间 = 0.090153 秒

将数据附加到列表中并连接到数据框中的措施：

start_time = time.time()
appended_data = []
for i in range(0, end_value, 1):
    data = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randint(0, 100, size=(1, 30)), columns=list('A'*30))
    appended_data.append(data)

appended_data = pd.concat(appended_data, axis=0)

end_time = time.time()
print('Execution time = %.6f seconds' % (end_time-start_time))

执行时间 = 4.183921 秒

附加数据帧的测量：

start_time = time.time()
df_final = pd.DataFrame()
for i in range(0, end_value, 1):
    df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randint(0, 100, size=(1, 30)), columns=list('A'*30))
    df_final = df_final.append(df)

end_time = time.time()
print('Execution time = %.6f seconds' % (end_time-start_time))

执行时间 = 11.085888 秒

使用 loc 插入数据的测量：

start_time = time.time()
df = pd.DataFrame(columns=list('A'*30))
for i in range(0, end_value, 1):
    df.loc[i] = list(np.random.randint(0, 100, size=30))


end_time = time.time()
print('Execution time = %.6f seconds' % (end_time-start_time))

执行时间 = 21.029176 秒
