Python | Pandas TimedeltaIndex.to_series()

Python is a great language for doing data analysis, primarily because of the fantastic ecosystem of data-centric python packages. Pandas is one of those packages and makes importing and analyzing data much easier.

Pandas TimedeltaIndex.to_series() function create a Series with both index and values equal to the index keys useful with map for returning an indexer based on an index.

Syntax : TimedeltaIndex.to_series(index = None, name = None)

Parameters :
index :index of resulting Series. If None, defaults to original index (Index, optional)
name :name of resulting Series. If None, defaults to name of original index (string, optional)

Return : Series : dtype will be based on the type of the Index values.

Example #1: Use TimedeltaIndex.to_series() function to construct a Series object from the given TimedeltaIndex object.

# importing pandas as pd
import pandas as pd

# Create the TimedeltaIndex object
tidx = pd.TimedeltaIndex(data =['06:05:01.000030', '+23:59:59.999999',
                        '22 day 2 min 3us 10ns', '+23:29:59.999999',
                        '+12:19:59.999999'])

# Print the TimedeltaIndex object
print(tidx)

Output :

Now we will use the TimedeltaIndex.to_series() function to construct a Series object using tidx.

# return a series
tidx.to_series()

Output :

As we can see in the output, the TimedeltaIndex.to_series() function has returned a newly constructed Series object using the tidx object. Notice the index of the Series is also constructed using the labels of the given object.

Example #2: Use TimedeltaIndex.to_series() function to construct a Series object from the given TimedeltaIndex object.

# importing pandas as pd
import pandas as pd

# Create the TimedeltaIndex object
tidx = pd.TimedeltaIndex(start ='1 days 02:00:12.001124',
                        periods = 5, freq ='D', name ='Koala')

# Print the TimedeltaIndex object
print(tidx)

Output :

Now we will use the TimedeltaIndex.to_series() function to construct a Series object using tidx.

# return a series
tidx.to_series()

Output :

As we can see in the output, the TimedeltaIndex.to_series() function has returned a newly constructed Series object using the tidx object. Notice the index of the Series is also constructed using the labels of the given object.
