pandas的cut和qcut方法的区别

pandas的cut()和qcut()的区别

1. 相同点：都是对连续性数据通过分桶实现离散化

2. 不同点：

• cut():先划分成等宽的桶，然后将数据填充到所属的桶中，导致每个桶中数据的个数有多有少；
• ​ 而qcut():首先对数据进行排序，然后等宽分桶，每个桶内的数据量一样多

代码如下：

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

_arr = np.random.randint(0,100,20)
_arr1 = np.sort(_arr)
print(_arr1)
cut_factor = pd.cut(_arr, 5)
qcut_factor = pd.qcut(_arr,5)

print("cut_rs:","*"*30, "\n",cut_factor.value_counts())
print("qcut_rs:","*"*30, "\n", qcut_factor.value_counts())
