python - Pandas replace function & "Returning a view versus a copy" -
i'm trying use replace function on data frame, , know problem i'm modifying copy , should use .loc or .ix return view instead of copy, i'm total beginner , struggled bit pandas documentation on this.
i tried following:
df.replace(df[(df.group_id=='12')]['clicks'], df2, inplace=true) which modifies copy, , doesn't change values in df.
i'm not sure how can use .ix in case. tried
df.replace(df[(df.group_id=='12')].ix[:,'clicks'], df2, inplace=true) but doesn't work.
thanks lot in advance.
