背景

我刚刚把我的熊猫从0.11升级到0.13.0rc1。现在,应用程序弹出了许多新的警告。其中一个是这样的:

E:\FinReporter\FM_EXT.py:449: SettingWithCopyWarning: A value is trying to be set on a copy of a slice from a DataFrame.
Try using .loc[row_index,col_indexer] = value instead
  quote_df['TVol']   = quote_df['TVol']/TVOL_SCALE

我想知道这到底是什么意思?我需要改变什么吗?

如果我坚持使用quote_df['TVol'] = quote_df['TVol']/TVOL_SCALE,我应该如何暂停警告?

给出错误的函数

def _decode_stock_quote(list_of_150_stk_str):
    """decode the webpage and return dataframe"""

    from cStringIO import StringIO

    str_of_all = "".join(list_of_150_stk_str)

    quote_df = pd.read_csv(StringIO(str_of_all), sep=',', names=list('ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefg')) #dtype={'A': object, 'B': object, 'C': np.float64}
    quote_df.rename(columns={'A':'STK', 'B':'TOpen', 'C':'TPCLOSE', 'D':'TPrice', 'E':'THigh', 'F':'TLow', 'I':'TVol', 'J':'TAmt', 'e':'TDate', 'f':'TTime'}, inplace=True)
    quote_df = quote_df.ix[:,[0,3,2,1,4,5,8,9,30,31]]
    quote_df['TClose'] = quote_df['TPrice']
    quote_df['RT']     = 100 * (quote_df['TPrice']/quote_df['TPCLOSE'] - 1)
    quote_df['TVol']   = quote_df['TVol']/TVOL_SCALE
    quote_df['TAmt']   = quote_df['TAmt']/TAMT_SCALE
    quote_df['STK_ID'] = quote_df['STK'].str.slice(13,19)
    quote_df['STK_Name'] = quote_df['STK'].str.slice(21,30)#.decode('gb2312')
    quote_df['TDate']  = quote_df.TDate.map(lambda x: x[0:4]+x[5:7]+x[8:10])
    
    return quote_df

当前回答

对我来说奏效了:

import pandas as pd
# ...
pd.set_option('mode.chained_assignment', None)

其他回答

这可能只适用于NumPy,这意味着你可能需要导入它,但我为示例NumPy使用的数据在计算中不是必需的,但你可以简单地通过使用下面这一行代码来停止这个设置和复制警告消息:

np.warnings.filterwarnings('ignore')

对我来说,这个问题发生在下面一个简化的例子中。我也能够解决它(希望有一个正确的解决方案):

带有警告的旧代码:

def update_old_dataframe(old_dataframe, new_dataframe):
    for new_index, new_row in new_dataframe.iterrorws():
        old_dataframe.loc[new_index] = update_row(old_dataframe.loc[new_index], new_row)

def update_row(old_row, new_row):
    for field in [list_of_columns]:
        # line with warning because of chain indexing old_dataframe[new_index][field]
        old_row[field] = new_row[field]
    return old_row

输出old_row[field] = new_row[field]行的警告

因为update_row方法中的行实际上是Series类型,所以我将行替换为:

old_row.at[field] = new_row.at[field]

例如,用于访问/查找一个Series的方法。尽管两者都工作得很好,结果是相同的,这样我就不必禁用警告(=保留它们用于其他地方的其他链索引问题)。

当我执行这部分代码时,我也遇到了同样的警告:

def scaler(self, numericals):
    scaler = MinMaxScaler()
    self.data.loc[:, numericals[0]] = scaler.fit_transform(self.data.loc[:, numericals[0]])
    self.data.loc[:, numericals[1]] = scaler.fit_transform(self.data.loc[:, numericals[1]])

其中标量是一个MinMaxScaler和数字[0]包含三个我的数字列的名字。

当我将代码更改为:

def scaler(self, numericals):
    scaler = MinMaxScaler()
    self.data.loc[:][numericals[0]] = scaler.fit_transform(self.data.loc[:][numericals[0]])
    self.data.loc[:][numericals[1]] = scaler.fit_transform(self.data.loc[:][numericals[1]])

因此,只需将[:,~]改为[:][~]。

我相信你可以这样避免整个问题:

return (
    pd.read_csv(StringIO(str_of_all), sep=',', names=list('ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefg')) #dtype={'A': object, 'B': object, 'C': np.float64}
    .rename(columns={'A':'STK', 'B':'TOpen', 'C':'TPCLOSE', 'D':'TPrice', 'E':'THigh', 'F':'TLow', 'I':'TVol', 'J':'TAmt', 'e':'TDate', 'f':'TTime'}, inplace=True)
    .ix[:,[0,3,2,1,4,5,8,9,30,31]]
    .assign(
        TClose=lambda df: df['TPrice'],
        RT=lambda df: 100 * (df['TPrice']/quote_df['TPCLOSE'] - 1),
        TVol=lambda df: df['TVol']/TVOL_SCALE,
        TAmt=lambda df: df['TAmt']/TAMT_SCALE,
        STK_ID=lambda df: df['STK'].str.slice(13,19),
        STK_Name=lambda df: df['STK'].str.slice(21,30)#.decode('gb2312'),
        TDate=lambda df: df.TDate.map(lambda x: x[0:4]+x[5:7]+x[8:10]),
    )
)

使用分配。来自文档:为DataFrame分配新列,返回一个新对象(副本),其中包含所有原始列和新列。

参见Tom Augspurger关于熊猫方法链接的文章:《现代熊猫(第二部分):方法链接》

在我的情况下,我会基于索引创建一个新列,但我得到了与您相同的警告:

df_temp["Quarter"] = df_temp.index.quarter

我使用insert()而不是直接赋值,它为我工作:

df_temp.insert(loc=0, column='Quarter', value=df_temp.index.quarter)
