python - 使用 inferred_freq 设置 pandas.tseries.index.DatetimeIndex.freq

Question

考虑 DatetimeIndex tidx

tidx = pd.to_datetime(['2016-07-29', '2016-08-31', '2016-09-30'])
print(tidx.freq)
print(tidx.inferred_freq)
print(tidx)

None
BM
DatetimeIndex(['2016-07-29', '2016-08-31', '2016-09-30'], \
              dtype='datetime64[ns]', freq=None)

我希望 freq 属性采用 inferred_freq 属性...所以我

tidx.freq = tidx.inferred_freq
print(tidx)

      1 tidx.freq = tidx.inferred_freq
----> 2 print(tidx)

问题
让我的索引假设它是 inferred_freq 的适当方法是什么？

Answer 1

目前还不清楚为什么文档声明您可以设置 freq 属性，但它不会持续存在，但如果您再次重建 datetimeindex 但传递一个 freq param 然后它起作用:

In [56]:
tidx = pd.DatetimeIndex(tidx.values, freq = tidx.inferred_freq)
tidx

Out[56]:
DatetimeIndex(['2016-07-29', '2016-08-31', '2016-09-30'], dtype='datetime64[ns]', freq='BM')
