Python: create a lag (t-1) data structure of multiple elements












0















I'm having trouble creating a time lag column for my data. It works fine when I do it for a dataframe with a just a kind of elements, but it doesn't not work fine, when I have different elements. For example, my dataset looks something like this:



enter image description here



when using the command suggested:



data1['lag_t'] = data1['total_tax'].shift(1)


I get a result like this:



enter image description here



As you can see, it just displace all the 'total_tax' value one row. However, I need to do this lag for EACH ONE of the id_inf (as separate items).



My dataset is really huge, so I need to find a way to solve this issue. So I can get as a result a table like this:



enter image description here

          You can groupby on index and shift



          # an example with random data.
          data1 = pd.DataFrame({'id': [9,9,9,54,54,54],'total_tax':[5,6,7,1,2,3]}).set_index('id')

          data1['lag_t'] = data1.groupby(level=0)['total_tax'].apply(lambda x: x.shift())

          print (data1)

          tax lag_t
          id
          9 5 NaN
          9 6 5.0
          9 7 6.0
          54 1 NaN
          54 2 1.0
          54 3 2.0
