pandas中pd.cut()的功能和作用

pd.cut()的作用，有点类似给成绩设定优良中差，比如：0-59分为差，60-70分为中，71-80分为优秀等等，在pandas中，也提供了这样一个方法来处理这些事儿。直接上代码：

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
from pandas import Series, DataFrame

np.random.seed(666)

score_list = np.random.randint(25, 100, size=20)
print(score_list)
# [27 70 55 87 95 98 55 61 86 76 85 53 39 88 41 71 64 94 38 94]

#　指定多个区间
bins = [0, 59, 70, 80, 100]

score_cut = pd.cut(score_list, bins)
print(type(score_cut)) # <class 'pandas.core.arrays.categorical.Categorical'>
print(score_cut)
'''
[(0, 59], (59, 70], (0, 59], (80, 100], (80, 100], ..., (70, 80], (59, 70], (80, 100], (0, 59], (80, 100]]
Length: 20
Categories (4, interval[int64]): [(0, 59] < (59, 70] < (70, 80] < (80, 100]]
'''
print(pd.value_counts(score_cut)) # 统计每个区间人数
'''

(0, 59]      7

dtype: int64
'''

df = DataFrame()
df['score'] = score_list
df['student'] = [pd.util.testing.rands(3) for i in range(len(score_list))]
print(df)
