python - Dummy variables when not all categories are present -


i have set of dataframes 1 of columns contains categorical variable. i'd convert several dummy variables, in case i'd use get_dummies.

what happens get_dummies looks @ data available in each dataframe find out how many categories there are, , create appropriate number of dummy variables. however, in problem i'm working right now, know in advance possible categories are. when looking @ each dataframe individually, not categories appear.

my question is: there way pass get_dummies (or equivalent function) names of categories, that, categories don't appear in given dataframe, it'd create column of 0s?

something make this:

categories = ['a', 'b', 'c']     cat 1   2   b 3

become this:

  cat_a  cat_b  cat_c 1   1      0      0 2   0      1      0 3   1      0      0

using transpose , reindex

import pandas pd  cats = ['a', 'b', 'c'] df = pd.dataframe({'cat': ['a', 'b', 'a']})  dummies = pd.get_dummies(df, prefix='', prefix_sep='') dummies = dummies.t.reindex(cats).t.fillna(0)  print dummies         b    c 0  1.0  0.0  0.0 1  0.0  1.0  0.0 2  1.0  0.0  0.0

scala - 'wrong top statement declaration' when using slick in IntelliJ -

Image
i'm porting project scala 2.9 2.10, therefore have use slick instead of scalaquery. i'm using slick 2.1.0 since supports ms access. according this tutorial , upgrade guide changed robs object class , added val robs : why error message wrong top statement declaration , how rid of it? edit: i'm new scala... according this question seems can't put val outside of methods or classes, right? code above directly in packge. right approach slick then? should move code in class or trait? according this changed val robs = tablequery[robs] to object robs extends tablequery(new robs(_)) {} . no warnings or errors anymore. :)
