how do i plot multiple lines using value counts on a dataframe-CodePudding

df.groupby('arrival_date_year').market_segment.value_counts()

I used the above code to get the following results:

arrival_date_year  market_segment

What is the correct syntax to plot multiple lines representing the various market segments with x axis=year and y axis=value count?

Alternatively, how do I get the data in wide format so that it's easier to compare the counts side by side?

CodePudding user response：

To compare the counts side by side how about

df.groupby('arrival_date_year').market_segment.value_counts().unstack().reset_index()

e.g.

df
Out[257]: 
    X   Y    Z
0   a  10  100
1   b  20  200
2   a  30  300
3   b  10  400
4   a  20  100
5   b  30  200
6   a  10  300
7   b  20  400
8   a  30  100
9   b  10  200
10  a  20  300
11  b  30  400
df.groupby('X').Y.value_counts().unstack().reset_index()
Out[258]: 
Y  X  10  20  30
0  a   2   2   2
1  b   2   2   2
