Determining the Duration of an Event in Pandas: A Step-by-Step Guide
Determining the Duration of an Event in Pandas In this article, we will explore how to determine the duration of an event in a pandas DataFrame. We will use real-world data and walk through step-by-step examples to illustrate the process. Understanding the Data We have a pandas DataFrame containing measurements of various operations with time-stamps for when the measurement occurred. The data is as follows: OpID OpTime Val 143 2014-01-01 02:35:02 20 143 2014-01-01 02:40:01 24 143 2014-01-01 02:40:03 0 143 2014-01-01 02:45:01 0 143 2014-01-01 02:50:01 20 143 2014-01-01 02:55:01 0 143 2014-01-01 03:00:01 20 143 2014-01-01 03:05:01 24 143 2014-01-01 03:10:01 20 212 2014-01-01 02:15:01 20 212 2014-01-01 02:17:02 0 212 2014-01-01 02:20:01 0 212 2014-01-01 02:25:01 0 212 2014-01-01 02:30:01 20 299 2014-01-01 03:30:03 33 299 2014-01-01 03:35:02 33 299 2014-01-01 03:40:01 34 299 2014-01-01 03:45:01 33 299 2014-01-01 03:45:02 34 Our goal is to generate an output that only shows the time periods in which the measurement returned zero.
