Search Missing Timestamp And Display In Python?

Here is my some Dataset which having Time,Temperature1,Temperature2 Timestamp. Temperature1. Temperature2 09/01/2016 00:00:08 53.4.

Solution 1:

you can use resample('30S', base=8) method:

In [20]: x.resample('30S', base=8).mean()
Out[20]:
                                 Temperature1    Temperature2
Timestamp
2016-09-01 00:00:08                      53.4            45.5
2016-09-01 00:00:38                      53.5            45.2
2016-09-01 00:01:08                      54.6            43.2
2016-09-01 00:01:38                      55.2            46.3
2016-09-01 00:02:08                      54.5            45.5
2016-09-01 00:02:38                       NaN             NaN
2016-09-01 00:03:08                       NaN             NaN
2016-09-01 00:03:38                       NaN             NaN
2016-09-01 00:04:08                      54.2            35.5
2016-09-01 00:04:38                       NaN             NaN
2016-09-01 00:05:08                      52.4            45.7
2016-09-01 00:05:38                      53.4            45.2

The solution above assumes that the Timestamp is of datetime dtype and that it has been set as index. If Timestamp is a regular column (not index), then starting from Pandas 0.19.0 we can resample on regular columns (it must be of datetime dtype), using on='column_name' parameter:

In [26]: x.resample('30S', on='Timestamp', base=8).mean()
Out[26]:
                                 Temperature1    Temperature2
Timestamp
2016-09-01 00:00:08                      53.4            45.5
2016-09-01 00:00:38                      53.5            45.2
2016-09-01 00:01:08                      54.6            43.2
2016-09-01 00:01:38                      55.2            46.3
2016-09-01 00:02:08                      54.5            45.5
2016-09-01 00:02:38                       NaN             NaN
2016-09-01 00:03:08                       NaN             NaN
2016-09-01 00:03:38                       NaN             NaN
2016-09-01 00:04:08                      54.2            35.5
2016-09-01 00:04:38                       NaN             NaN
2016-09-01 00:05:08                      52.4            45.7
2016-09-01 00:05:38                      53.4            45.2

if you need to find your base value dynamically you can do it this way:

In [21]: x.index[0].second
Out[21]: 8

from docs:

base : int, default 0

For frequencies that evenly subdivide 1 day, the “origin” of the aggregated intervals. For example, for 5min frequency, base could range from 0 through 4.

Defaults to 0

Solution 2:

Assuming that the timestamps have been converted to datetime, if you set the index to the timestamp column and then reindex with a date range then the missing values will show up:

In [94]:
df['Timestamp'] = pd.to_datetime(df['Timestamp'])
df = df.set_index('Timestamp')
df

Out[94]:
                     Temperature1  Temperature2
Timestamp                                      
2016-09-01 00:00:08          53.4          45.5
2016-09-01 00:00:38          53.5          45.2
2016-09-01 00:01:08          54.6          43.2
2016-09-01 00:01:38          55.2          46.3
2016-09-01 00:02:08          54.5          45.5
2016-09-01 00:04:08          54.2          35.5
2016-09-01 00:05:08          52.4          45.7
2016-09-01 00:05:38          53.4          45.2

In [96]:    
df.reindex(pd.date_range(start=df.index[0], end=df.index[-1], freq='30s'))

Out[96]:
                     Temperature1  Temperature2
2016-09-01 00:00:08          53.4          45.5
2016-09-01 00:00:38          53.5          45.2
2016-09-01 00:01:08          54.6          43.2
2016-09-01 00:01:38          55.2          46.3
2016-09-01 00:02:08          54.5          45.5
2016-09-01 00:02:38           NaN           NaN
2016-09-01 00:03:08           NaN           NaN
2016-09-01 00:03:38           NaN           NaN
2016-09-01 00:04:08          54.2          35.5
2016-09-01 00:04:38           NaN           NaN
2016-09-01 00:05:08          52.4          45.7
2016-09-01 00:05:38          53.4          45.2

This assumes that the timestamps are regular, here we construct a date range using the timestamp first and last values with a frequency of 30 seconds:

In [97]:
pd.date_range(start=df.index[0], end=df.index[-1], freq='30s')

Out[97]:
DatetimeIndex(['2016-09-01 00:00:08', '2016-09-01 00:00:38',
               '2016-09-01 00:01:08', '2016-09-01 00:01:38',
               '2016-09-01 00:02:08', '2016-09-01 00:02:38',
               '2016-09-01 00:03:08', '2016-09-01 00:03:38',
               '2016-09-01 00:04:08', '2016-09-01 00:04:38',
               '2016-09-01 00:05:08', '2016-09-01 00:05:38'],
              dtype='datetime64[ns]', freq='30S')

When you reindex with this, any missing index labels become NaN values
