Confidence Interval in Python dataframe

Question

I am trying to calculate the mean and confidence interval(95%) of a column \"Force\" in a large dataset. I need the result by using the groupby function by grouping differen

Answer 1

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import math

df=pd.DataFrame({'Class': ['A1','A1','A1','A2','A3','A3'], 
                 'Force': [50,150,100,120,140,160] },
                 columns=['Class', 'Force'])
print(df)
print('-'*30)

stats = df.groupby(['Class'])['Force'].agg(['mean', 'count', 'std'])
print(stats)
print('-'*30)

ci95_hi = []
ci95_lo = []

for i in stats.index:
    m, c, s = stats.loc[i]
    ci95_hi.append(m + 1.96*s/math.sqrt(c))
    ci95_lo.append(m - 1.96*s/math.sqrt(c))

stats['ci95_hi'] = ci95_hi
stats['ci95_lo'] = ci95_lo
print(stats)

The output is

  Class  Force
0    A1     50
1    A1    150
2    A1    100
3    A2    120
4    A3    140
5    A3    160
------------------------------
       mean  count        std
Class                        
A1      100      3  50.000000
A2      120      1        NaN
A3      150      2  14.142136
------------------------------
       mean  count        std     ci95_hi     ci95_lo
Class                                                
A1      100      3  50.000000  156.580326   43.419674
A2      120      1        NaN         NaN         NaN
A3      150      2  14.142136  169.600000  130.400000
