Class MultiIndex (1.26.0)

MultiIndex(data=None, dtype=None, *, name=None, session=None)

A multi-level, or hierarchical, index object for pandas objects.

Methods

from_arrays

from_arrays(
    arrays, sortorder: typing.Optional[int] = None, names=None
) -> bigframes.core.indexes.multi.MultiIndex

Convert arrays to MultiIndex.

Examples:

>>> import bigframes.pandas as bpd
>>> bpd.options.display.progress_bar = None
>>> arrays = [[1, 1, 2, 2], ['red', 'blue', 'red', 'blue']]
>>> bpd.MultiIndex.from_arrays(arrays, names=('number', 'color'))
MultiIndex([(1,  'red'),
            (1, 'blue'),
            (2,  'red'),
            (2, 'blue')],
        names=['number', 'color'])

Parameters
Name	Description
`arrays`	`list / sequence of array-likes` Each array-like gives one level's value for each data point. len(arrays) is the number of levels.
`sortorder`	`int or None` Level of sortedness (must be lexicographically sorted by that level).
`names`	`list / sequence of str, optional` Names for the levels in the index.

from_tuples

from_tuples(
    tuples: typing.Iterable[tuple[typing.Hashable, ...]],
    sortorder: typing.Optional[int] = None,
    names: typing.Optional[
        typing.Union[typing.Sequence[typing.Hashable], typing.Hashable]
    ] = None,
) -> bigframes.core.indexes.multi.MultiIndex

Convert list of tuples to MultiIndex.

Examples:

>>> import bigframes.pandas as bpd
>>> bpd.options.display.progress_bar = None
>>> tuples = [(1, 'red'), (1, 'blue'),
...           (2, 'red'), (2, 'blue')]
>>> bpd.MultiIndex.from_tuples(tuples, names=('number', 'color'))
MultiIndex([(1,  'red'),
            (1, 'blue'),
            (2,  'red'),
            (2, 'blue')],
        names=['number', 'color'])

Parameters
Name	Description
`tuples`	`list / sequence of tuple-likes` Each tuple is the index of one row/column.
`sortorder`	`int or None` Level of sortedness (must be lexicographically sorted by that level).
`names`	`list / sequence of str, optional` Names for the levels in the index.
