Description
What happened?
I have previously used DataArray.groupby_bins
to great effect with some complex binning tasks. I recently upgraded my base Python to 3.10 and found disastrous results from code that previously worked fine. I now find that, at least with non-linear bins, groupby_bins
now produces reversed results in the resulting bin counts. The ordering of the data and coordinates are now misaligned - so I think this is a bug.
For reference, I can reproduce the error in 2023.4.0
but 2023.3.0
gives the correct result.
What did you expect to happen?
I expect groupby_bins
to produce the same counts as similar methods in numpy
or pandas
Minimal Complete Verifiable Example
import numpy as np
import xarray as xr
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import sys
print(f"numpy version: {np.__version__}")
print(f"xarray version: {xr.__version__}")
print(f"pandas version: {pd.__version__}")
print(f"python version: {sys.version}")
# Generate random data
# Make the coordiantes follow a normal distribution
np.random.seed(42)
coords = np.random.normal(5, 5, 1000)
bins = np.logspace(-4, 1, 10)
# xArray
# Make a mock dataarray
darr = xr.DataArray(coords, coords=[coords], dims=["coords"])
counts_xr = darr.groupby_bins("coords", bins).count()
c_bin_xr = np.array([i.mid for i in counts_xr.coords_bins.values])
# Numpy
counts_np, edges = np.histogram(coords, bins=bins)
c_bin_np = (edges[1:] + edges[:-1]) / 2
# Pandas
df = pd.DataFrame(coords, columns=["coords"])
counts_pd = df.groupby(pd.cut(df.coords, bins)).count()
c_bin_pd = np.array([i.mid for i in counts_pd.index.values])
print(f"{counts_xr.data=}")
print(f"{counts_np=}")
print(f"{counts_pd.values=}")
_ = plt.figure()
_ = plt.plot(c_bin_np, counts_np, 'o', label='numpy')
_ = plt.plot(c_bin_xr, counts_xr, 'x', label='xarray')
_ = plt.plot(c_bin_pd, counts_pd, 's', label='pandas', markerfacecolor='none')
_ = plt.xscale('log')

MVCE confirmation
- Minimal example — the example is as focused as reasonably possible to demonstrate the underlying issue in xarray.
- Complete example — the example is self-contained, including all data and the text of any traceback.
- Verifiable example — the example copy & pastes into an IPython prompt or Binder notebook, returning the result.
- New issue — a search of GitHub Issues suggests this is not a duplicate.
