[PYTHON] A memo to visually understand the axis of pandas.Panel
As a memorandum, I often forget the orientation of the axis of pandas.Panel.
Pass the list of tickers to the DataReader and a Panel will be returned.
python
import pandas_datareader.data as web
from datetime import datetime
tickers = ['AAPL', 'MSFT', 'ORCL']
sd = datetime(2016, 1, 1)
ed = datetime(2016, 1,10)
p = web.DataReader(tickers, "yahoo", sd, ed)
print(p)
<class 'pandas.core.panel.Panel'>
Dimensions: 6 (items) x 5 (major_axis) x 3 (minor_axis)
Items axis: Open to Adj Close
Major_axis axis: 2016-01-04 00:00:00 to 2016-01-08 00:00:00
Minor_axis axis: AAPL to ORCL
When you access the Panel like this,
d = p['Open']
print(d)
This kind of data will be returned.
AAPL MSFT ORCL

2016-01-08 98.550003 52.369999 35.130001
In other words, in the figure,
By doing this, it is also possible to retrieve the value of a specific cell from the Panel with Series.
s = p['Open'][:1]['AAPL']
print(s)
