[FIXED] How to set multiple conditions using an iteration for python

Issue

I am looking for a gradient pattern on my dataframe as follows:

df.loc[(
        (df['A'].shift(-0).lt(1.7)) &
        (df['A'].shift(-1).lt(1.7)) &
        (df['A'].shift(-2).lt(1.7)) &
        (df['A'].shift(-3).lt(1.7)) &
        (df['A'].shift(-4).lt(1.7)) &
        (df['A'].shift(-5).lt(1.7)) &
]

The latter will return a df where 6 previous values are smaller than 1.7 for example:

the data frame will look like this (before and after):

         A
329    15.1252
330    13.1251
331     1.3125
332     1.5625
333    39.5625
346    45.6875
347    11.0000
348    11.0000
354     1.8125
355     1.8125
358     1.4375
359     1.4375
360     1.5000
361     1.5000
362     1.5000
363     1.5000
364     1.4375
365     1.4375
366     1.5000 

         A
364    1.4375
365    1.4375
366    1.5000

It works but I want to improve it. I tried many things, I think it could be something like:

parameters = [
    [0, 1.7],
    [1, 1.7],
    [2, 1.7],
    [3, 1.7],
    [4, 1.7],
    [5, 1.7],
]

conditions = ([ ' & ' .join(['(df["A"].shift(-{0}).lt({1}))'.format(x[0], x[1]) for x in parameters])])
conditions = '(' + conditions ')'
df.loc[conditions]

It seems that 'conditons' is returned as string between quotes litterally as 'conditions', so df.loc[conditions] returns a 'KeyError'

Is my first question on the website. Thanks in advance.

Solution

You can try use reduce on list

from functools import reduce

m = reduce((lambda df1, df2: df1&df2), [df['A'].shift(-s).lt(v) for s, v in parameters])

print(df.loc[m])

          A
358  1.4375
359  1.4375
360  1.5000
361  1.5000
