I have a dataframe of shape (4, 3) as following:
In [1]: import pandas as pd
In [2]: import numpy as np
In [3]: x = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(4, 3), index=np.arange(4))
In [4]: x
Out[4]:
0 1 2
0 0.959322 0.099360 1.116337
1 -0.211405 -2.563658 -0.561851
2 0.616312 -1.643927 -0.483673
3 0.235971 0.023823 1.146727
I want to multiply each column of the dataframe with a numpy array of shape (4,):
In [9]: y = np.random.randn(4)
In [10]: y
Out[10]: array([-0.34125522, 1.21567883, -0.12909408, 0.64727577])
In numpy, the following broadcasting trick works:
In [12]: x.values * y[:, None]
Out[12]:
array([[-0.32737369, -0.03390716, -0.38095588],
[-0.25700028, -3.11658448, -0.68303043],
[-0.07956223, 0.21222123, 0.06243928],
[ 0.15273815, 0.01541983, 0.74224861]])
However, it doesn't work in the case of pandas dataframe, I get the following error:
In [13]: x * y[:, None]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ValueError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-13-21d033742c49> in <module>()
----> 1 x * y[:, None]
...
ValueError: Shape of passed values is (1, 4), indices imply (3, 4)
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
