I am curious why a simple concatenation of two dataframes in pandas:
initId.shape # (66441, 1)
initId.isnull().sum() # 0
ypred.shape # (66441, 1)
ypred.isnull().sum() # 0
of the same shape and both without NaN values
foo = pd.concat([initId, ypred], join='outer', axis=1)
foo.shape # (83384, 2)
foo.isnull().sum() # 16943
can result in a lot of NaN values if joined.
How can I fix this problem and prevent NaN values being introduced? Trying to reproduce it like
aaa = pd.DataFrame([0,1,0,1,0,0], columns=['prediction'])
bbb = pd.DataFrame([0,0,1,0,1,1], columns=['groundTruth'])
pd.concat([aaa, bbb], axis=1)
failed e.g. worked just fine as no NaN values were introduced.
I think there is problem with different index values, so where concat cannot align get NaN:
aaa = pd.DataFrame([0,1,0,1,0,0], columns=['prediction'], index=[4,5,8,7,10,12])
print(aaa)
prediction
4 0
5 1
8 0
7 1
10 0
12 0
bbb = pd.DataFrame([0,0,1,0,1,1], columns=['groundTruth'])
print(bbb)
groundTruth
0 0
1 0
2 1
3 0
4 1
5 1
print (pd.concat([aaa, bbb], axis=1))
prediction groundTruth
0 NaN 0.0
1 NaN 0.0
2 NaN 1.0
3 NaN 0.0
4 0.0 1.0
5 1.0 1.0
7 1.0 NaN
8 0.0 NaN
10 0.0 NaN
12 0.0 NaN
Solution is reset_index if indexes values are not necessary:
aaa.reset_index(drop=True, inplace=True)
bbb.reset_index(drop=True, inplace=True)
print(aaa)
prediction
0 0
1 1
2 0
3 1
4 0
5 0
print(bbb)
groundTruth
0 0
1 0
2 1
3 0
4 1
5 1
print (pd.concat([aaa, bbb], axis=1))
prediction groundTruth
0 0 0
1 1 0
2 0 1
3 1 0
4 0 1
5 0 1
EDIT: If need same index like aaa and length of DataFrames is same use:
bbb.index = aaa.index
print (pd.concat([aaa, bbb], axis=1))
prediction groundTruth
4 0 0
5 1 0
8 0 1
7 1 0
10 0 1
12 0 1
