Adds percentage difference (percentage change) to a Pandas DataFrame or DataFrameGroupBy object.
Parameters
Name
Type
Description
Default
data
pd.DataFrame or pd.core.groupby.generic.DataFrameGroupBy
The data parameter is the input DataFrame or DataFrameGroupBy object that you want to add percentage differenced columns to.
required
date_column
str
The date_column parameter is a string that specifies the name of the column in the DataFrame that contains the dates. This column will be used to sort the data before adding the percentage differenced values.
required
value_column
str or list
The value_column parameter is the column(s) in the DataFrame that you want to add percentage differences values for. It can be either a single column name (string) or a list of column names.
required
periods
int or tuple or list
The periods parameter is an integer, tuple, or list that specifies the periods to shift values when percentage differencing. - If it is an integer, the function will add that number of percentage differences values for each column specified in the value_column parameter. - If it is a tuple, it will generate percentage differences from the first to the second value (inclusive). - If it is a list, it will generate percentage differences based on the values in the list.
1
reduce_memory
bool
The reduce_memory parameter is used to specify whether to reduce the memory usage of the DataFrame by converting int, float to smaller bytes and str to categorical data. This reduces memory for large data but may impact resolution of float and will change str to categorical. Default is True.
False
engine
str
The engine parameter is used to specify the engine to use for augmenting percentage differences. It can be either “pandas” or “polars”. - The default value is “pandas”. - When “polars”, the function will internally use the polars library for augmenting percentage diffs. This can be faster than using “pandas” for large datasets.
'pandas'
Returns
Type
Description
pd.DataFrame
A Pandas DataFrame with percentage differenced columns added to it.
