zhengruifeng created SPARK-38844: ------------------------------------ Summary: impl Series.interpolate and DataFrame.interpolate Key: SPARK-38844 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-38844 Project: Spark Issue Type: Sub-task Components: PySpark Affects Versions: 3.4.0 Reporter: zhengruifeng
h2. Goal: [pandas's interpolate|https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/reference/api/pandas.DataFrame.interpolate.html] supports many methods, _linear_ is applied by default, other methods ( _pad_ _ffill_ _backfill_ _bifll_ ) can also be implemented in pandas API on spark. The remainder ones ( including _quadratic_ _cubic_ _spline_ ) can not be implemented easily since scipy is used internally and the window frame used is complex. Since methods ( _pad_ _ffill_ _backfill_ _bifll_ ) were already implemented in pandas API on spark via {_}fillna{_}, so this work currently focus on implementing the missing *linear interpolation* h2. h2. Impl: To implement the linear interpolation, two extra window functions are added, one ( _null_index_ ) is to compute the indices of missing values in each consecutive seq, the other ({_}last_not_null{_}) is to keep the last no-missing value. ||index||value||_null_index_forward_||_last_not_null_forward_||_null_index_backward_||_last_not_null_backward_||filled||filled (limit=1)|| |1|nan|1|nan|1|1|-|-| |2|1|0|1|0|1| | | |3|nan|1|1|3|5|2.0|2.0| |4|nan|2|1|2|5|3.0|-| |5|nan|3|1|1|5|4.0|-| |6|5|0|5|0|5| | | |7|6|0|6|0|6| | | |8|nan|1|6|2|nan|6.0|6.0| |9|nan|2|6|1|nan|6.0|-| * for the NANs at indices (3,4,5), we always compute the filled value via ({_}last_not_null_backward{_} - {_}last_not_null_forward{_}) / ({_}null_index_forward{_} + {_}null_index_backward{_}) * _null_index_forward_ + _last_not_null_forward_ * for the NaN at index(1), skip it due to the default *limit_direction* = _forward_ * for the NaN at index(8), fill it like _ffill_ with vlaue _last_not_null_forward_ * If _limit_ is set, then NaNs with _null_index_forward_ greater than _limit_ will not be interpolated. h2. Plan 1, impl the basic _linear interpolate_ with param _limit_ 2, add param _limit_direction_ 3, add param _limit_area_ -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.1#820001) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
