Packages Functions

approx_top_count

approx_top_count(series: series.Series, number: int) -> series.Series

Returns the approximate top elements of expression as an array of STRUCTs. The number parameter specifies the number of elements returned.

Each STRUCT contains two fields. The first field (named value) contains an input value. The second field (named count) contains an INT64 specifying the number of times the value was returned.

Returns NULL if there are zero input rows.

Examples:

>>> import bigframes.pandas as bpd
>>> import bigframes.bigquery as bbq
>>> bpd.options.display.progress_bar = None
>>> s = bpd.Series(["apple", "apple", "pear", "pear", "pear", "banana"])
>>> bbq.approx_top_count(s, number=2)
[{'value': 'pear', 'count': 3}, {'value': 'apple', 'count': 2}]
Parameters
Name Description
series

The Series with any data type that the GROUP BY clause supports.

number

An integer specifying the number of times the value was returned.

array_agg

array_agg(
    obj: groupby.SeriesGroupBy | groupby.DataFrameGroupBy,
) -> series.Series | dataframe.DataFrame

Group data and create arrays from selected columns, omitting NULLs to avoid BigQuery errors (NULLs not allowed in arrays).

Examples:

>>> import bigframes.pandas as bpd
>>> import bigframes.bigquery as bbq
>>> import numpy as np
>>> bpd.options.display.progress_bar = None

For a SeriesGroupBy object:

>>> lst = ['a', 'a', 'b', 'b', 'a']
>>> s = bpd.Series([1, 2, 3, 4, np.nan], index=lst)
>>> bbq.array_agg(s.groupby(level=0))
a    [1. 2.]
b    [3. 4.]
dtype: list<item: double>[pyarrow]

For a DataFrameGroupBy object:

>>> l = [[1, 2, 3], [1, None, 4], [2, 1, 3], [1, 2, 2]]
>>> df = bpd.DataFrame(l, columns=["a", "b", "c"])
>>> bbq.array_agg(df.groupby(by=["b"]))
         a      c
b
1.0    [2]    [3]
2.0  [1 1]  [3 2]
<BLANKLINE>
[2 rows x 2 columns]
Parameter
Name Description
obj

array_length

array_length(series: series.Series) -> series.Series

Compute the length of each array element in the Series.

Examples:

>>> import bigframes.pandas as bpd
>>> import bigframes.bigquery as bbq

You can specify the name of the column in the query DataFrame embeddings and distance type. If you specify query_column_to_search_value, it will use the provided column which contains the embeddings for which to find nearest neighbors. Otherwiese, it uses the column_to_search value.

>>> search_query = bpd.DataFrame({"query_id": ["dog", "cat"],
...                               "embedding": [[1.0, 2.0], [3.0, 5.2]],

[4 rows x 6 columns]
Parameters
Name Description
base_table

The table to search for nearest neighbor embeddings.

column_to_search

The name of the base table column to search for nearest neighbor embeddings. The column must have a type of ARRAY. All elements in the array must be non-NULL.

query

A Series or DataFrame that provides the embeddings for which to find nearest neighbors.

query_column_to_search

Specifies the name of the column in the query that contains the embeddings for which to find nearest neighbors. The column must have a type of ARRAY. All elements in the array must be non-NULL and all values in the column must have the same array dimensions as the values in the column_to_search column. Can only be set when query is a DataFrame.

top_k

Sepecifies the number of nearest neighbors to return. Default to 10.

distance_type

Specifies the type of metric to use to compute the distance between two vectors. Possible values are "euclidean" and "cosine". Default to "euclidean".

fraction_lists_to_search

Specifies the percentage of lists to search. Specifying a higher percentage leads to higher recall and slower performance, and the converse is true when specifying a lower percentage. It is only used when a vector index is also used. You can only specify fraction_lists_to_search when use_brute_force is set to False.

use_brute_force

Determines whether to use brute force search by skipping the vector index if one is available. Default to False.
