Pairwise correlation of Pandas DataFrame columns with custom function

问题

Pandas pairwise correlation on a DataFrame comes handy in many cases. However, in my specific case I would like to use a method not provided by Pandas (something other than (pearson, kendall or spearman) to correlate two columns. Is it possible to explicitly define the correlation function to use in this case?

The syntax I would like looks like this:

def my_method(x,y): return something
frame.corr(method=my_method)

回答1:

You would need to do this in cython for any kind of perf (with a cythonizable function)

l = len(df.columns)
results = np.zeros((l,l))
for i, ac in enumerate(df):
    for j, bc in enumerate(df):
           results[j,i] = func(ac,bc)
results = DataFrame(results,index=df.columns,columns=df.columns)
