how to create new column in pandas dataframe by indexing desirable parts of other columns





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

this is what i have:



fertility_rate =[3.97,3.68,3.14,2.73,2.27,2.02,1.86,1.70,1.68,1.32,1.31, 1.31,1.39,1.45,1.50,1.55,1.59]
year = ['1950-1955','1955-1960','1960-1965','1965-1970','1970-1975','1975-1980','1980-1985','1985-1990','1990-1995','1995-2000','2000-2005','2005-2010','2010-2015','2015-2020','2020-2025','2025-2030','2030-2035']
fertility = pd.DataFrame({'year': year, 'fertility': fertility_rate})
fertility.set_index('year', inplace=True)


fertility['fertility_high']=fertility['fertility'] +0.5


This code makes new column by adding 0.5 to every row in the column.
My goal is to for first 12 rows ( from 1955 to 2015 year) to copy values from a first column (fertility), and for 12+ rows to add 0.5.

  • Use .iloc to index into both the rows and columns.

IIUC, you need same value as fertility in fertility high for the first 12 rows and increment by 0.5 for the rest



fertility['fertility_high']=fertility['fertility'].copy() 

fertility.iloc[12:, 1]+=0.5

fertility fertility_high

1955-1960 3.68 3.68
