Method get_dummies

xarray/core/accessor_str.py:2770–2847

Return DataArray of dummy/indicator variables. Each string in the DataArray is split at `sep`. A new dimension is created with coordinates for each unique result, and the corresponding element of that dimension is `True` if that result is present and `False`

(
        self,
        dim: Hashable,
        sep: str | bytes | Any = "|",
    )

        Return DataArray of dummy/indicator variables.

        Each string in the DataArray is split at `sep`.
        A new dimension is created with coordinates for each unique result,
        and the corresponding element of that dimension is `True` if
        that result is present and `False` if not.

        If `sep` is array-like, it is broadcast against the array and applied
        elementwise.

        Parameters
        ----------
        dim : hashable
            Name for the dimension to place the results in.
        sep : str, default: "|".
            String to split on.
            If array-like, it is broadcast.

        Returns
        -------
        dummies : array of bool

        Examples
        --------
        Create a string array

        >>> values = xr.DataArray(
        ...     [
        ...         ["a|ab~abc|abc", "ab", "a||abc|abcd"],
        ...         ["abcd|ab|a", "abc|ab~abc", "|a"],
        ...     ],
        ...     dims=["X", "Y"],
        ... )

        Extract dummy values

        >>> values.str.get_dummies(dim="dummies")
        <xarray.DataArray (X: 2, Y: 3, dummies: 5)> Size: 30B
        array([[[ True, False,  True, False,  True],
                [False,  True, False, False, False],
                [ True, False,  True,  True, False]],
        <BLANKLINE>
               [[ True,  True, False,  True, False],
                [False, False,  True, False,  True],
                [ True, False, False, False, False]]])
        Coordinates:
          * dummies  (dummies) <U6 120B 'a' 'ab' 'abc' 'abcd' 'ab~abc'
        Dimensions without coordinates: X, Y
