xorbits.pandas.groupby.SeriesGroupBy.fillna#

SeriesGroupBy.fillna(value=None, method=None, limit=None)#

Fill NA/NaN values using the specified method within groups.

Parameters

  • value (scalar, dict, Series, or DataFrame) – Value to use to fill holes (e.g. 0), alternately a dict/Series/DataFrame of values specifying which value to use for each index (for a Series) or column (for a DataFrame). Values not in the dict/Series/DataFrame will not be filled. This value cannot be a list. Users wanting to use the value argument and not method should prefer Series.fillna() as this will produce the same result and be more performant.

  • method ({{'bfill', 'ffill', None}}, default None) –

    Method to use for filling holes. 'ffill' will propagate the last valid observation forward within a group. 'bfill' will use next valid observation to fill the gap.

    Deprecated since version 2.1.0(pandas): Use obj.ffill or obj.bfill instead.

  • axis ({0 or 'index', 1 or 'columns'} (Not supported yet)) –

    Unused, only for compatibility with DataFrameGroupBy.fillna().

    Deprecated since version 2.1.0(pandas): For axis=1, operate on the underlying object instead. Otherwise the axis keyword is not necessary.

  • inplace (bool, default False (Not supported yet)) – Broken. Do not set to True.

  • limit (int, default None) – If method is specified, this is the maximum number of consecutive NaN values to forward/backward fill within a group. In other words, if there is a gap with more than this number of consecutive NaNs, it will only be partially filled. If method is not specified, this is the maximum number of entries along the entire axis where NaNs will be filled. Must be greater than 0 if not None.

  • downcast (dict, default is None (Not supported yet)) –

    A dict of item->dtype of what to downcast if possible, or the string ‘infer’ which will try to downcast to an appropriate equal type (e.g. float64 to int64 if possible).

    Deprecated since version 2.1.0(pandas).

Returns

Object with missing values filled within groups.

Return type

Series

Examples

For SeriesGroupBy:

>>> lst = ['cat', 'cat', 'cat', 'mouse', 'mouse']  
>>> ser = pd.Series([1, None, None, 2, None], index=lst)  
>>> ser  
cat    1.0
cat    NaN
cat    NaN
mouse  2.0
mouse  NaN
dtype: float64
>>> ser.groupby(level=0).fillna(0, limit=1)  
cat    1.0
cat    0.0
cat    NaN
mouse  2.0
mouse  0.0
dtype: float64
