So far we have learned how to perform aggregations on our data, but sometimes we need
to transform our data before they are ready to be aggregated. In this tutorial, we'll
demonstrate a few ways that we can transform our data using filters, maps, flat maps,
binning, and public joins.

Setup
-----

As usual, we need to create a Session with our dataset.

.. testcode::

    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
    import os
    import pandas as pd
    import seaborn as sns

    from pyspark import SparkFiles
    from pyspark.sql import SparkSession
    from tmlt.analytics.keyset import KeySet
    from tmlt.analytics.privacy_budget import PureDPBudget
    from tmlt.analytics.protected_change import AddOneRow
    from tmlt.analytics.query_builder import QueryBuilder
    from tmlt.analytics.session import Session

    spark = SparkSession.builder.getOrCreate()
    spark.sparkContext.addFile(
        "https://tumult-public.s3.amazonaws.com/library-members.csv"
    )
    members_df = spark.read.csv(
       SparkFiles.get("library-members.csv"), header=True, inferSchema=True
    )

Remember that we are using an infinite privacy budget in these tutorials, but that this
should not be done in production.

.. testcode::

   session = Session.from_dataframe(
       privacy_budget=PureDPBudget(epsilon=float('inf')),
       source_id="members",
       dataframe=members_df,
       protected_change=AddOneRow(),
   )

Revisiting the filter transformation
------------------------------------

You might recall that we already used a transformation in
:ref:`working with privacy budgets tutorial<Working with privacy budgets>`! Let's run that query again.

.. testcode::

   minor_query = QueryBuilder("members").filter("age < 18").count()
   minor_count = session.evaluate(
       minor_query,
       privacy_budget=PureDPBudget(epsilon=1),
   )
   minor_count.show()

.. testoutput::
   :hide:
   :options: +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE

   +-----+
   |count|
   +-----+
   |...|
   +-----+

.. code-block::

   +-----+
   |count|
   +-----+
   |13815|
   +-----+

In this query, we first we filtered the data to only include rows where
the age was less than 18, and then counted the total number of rows. More complicated
filters are also supported: Tumult Analytics filters support the same syntax as `Spark
SQL <https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/sql-ref-syntax-qry-select-where.html>`_.

With Tumult Analytics, using transformations is that easy, and we will see that other
transformations can be similarly expressed.

Maps
----

Suppose we want to create a histogram displaying the age each library member was when they
joined.

To do this, we will need a mapping function that takes in a row from our data as a
dictionary and returns a new row. In this case, the new row will have a different column
containing the calculated age.

.. note::

    Functions used in maps and flat maps should be
    `pure functions <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pure_function>`_. For more
    information, consult the :ref:`privacy promise <Privacy Promise>` topic guide.

.. testcode::

    from datetime import datetime as dt

    def age_joined(row):
        date_joined = row["date_joined"]
        if isinstance(date_joined, str):
            date_joined = dt.fromisoformat(date_joined)
        age_at_joining = row["age"] - (dt.today().year - date_joined.year)
        return {"age_joined": age_at_joining}

    example_row = {
        "id": 421742,
        "name": "Panfilo",
        "age": 51,
        "gender": "male",
        "education_level": "doctorate-professional",
        "zip_code": 27513,
        "books_borrowed": 32,
        "favorite_genres": "Romance;Classics/Literature;Current affairs",
        "date_joined": "2021-12-22",
    }

    print(age_joined(example_row))

.. testoutput::
   :hide:
   :options: +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE

    {'age_joined': ...}

.. code-block::

    {'age_joined': 49}

Now that we have our mapping function, we can use it in a query.

To add the map to our query, we also need to provide the ``new_column_types``. It should
be a dictionary containing the names and types for each of the columns created by the
map. In this case, the type is ``INTEGER``.

We also set ``augment=True``. This tells the query to keep the original columns in
addition to the columns created by the map. If we used ``augment=False``, the ``gender``
column would no longer be available: the only column in the transformed data would be
``age_joined``.

.. testcode::

    from tmlt.analytics.query_builder import ColumnType

    ages = list(range(0, 100))  # [0, 6, ..., 99]
    age_keys = KeySet.from_dict({"age_joined": ages})

    age_joined_count_query = (
        QueryBuilder("members")
        .map(age_joined, new_column_types={"age_joined": ColumnType.INTEGER}, augment=True)
        .groupby(age_keys)
        .count()
    )

    age_joined_counts = session.evaluate(
        age_joined_count_query,
        privacy_budget=PureDPBudget(epsilon=1),
    )

.. code-block::

    sns.set(rc = {'figure.figsize':(9,6)})
    sns.barplot(
        x="age_joined",
        y="count",
        data=age_joined_counts.toPandas()
    )
    plt.xticks([10*i for i in range(1, 10)])
    plt.ylim(0, 1300)
    plt.title("Age of Library Members at Joining")
    plt.xlabel("Age")
    plt.ylabel("Count")
    plt.tick_params(axis='both', which='major', labelsize=10)
    plt.show()

.. image:: ../images/chart_age_at_joining.png

    :align: center

.. _flat-map-tutorial-5:

Flat maps
---------

Similar to a map, we can also apply a "flat map" to our data. A flat map is similar to a
map, but instead of mapping each input row to a single new row, it maps each
input row to zero or more new rows.

We will use a flat map to count how many members included each genre in their favorites.
The 'favorite_genre' column in the data contains one to three genres separated by
semicolons.

Just like we did for map, we will write a function to do the desired transformation on a
single row. In this case we will transform our data from one where there is one row for
each library member to one where there are multiple rows per library member, one for
each of their favorite genres (up to three times as many rows).

.. testcode::

    def expand_genre(row):
        return [{"genre": genre} for genre in row["favorite_genres"].split(";")]

    example_row = {
        "id": 421742,
        "name": "Panfilo",
        "age": 51,
        "gender": "male",
        "education_level": "doctorate-professional",
        "zip_code": 27513,
        "books_borrowed": 32,
        "favorite_genres": "Romance;Classics/Literature;Current affairs",
        "date_joined": "2021-12-22",
    }
    print(expand_genre(example_row))

.. testoutput::

    [{'genre': 'Romance'}, {'genre': 'Classics/Literature'}, {'genre': 'Current affairs'}]

Like ``map``, ``flat_map`` has the ``new_column_types`` and ``augment`` options.
In this example, we leave ``augment`` with its default value of ``False``.

Unlike ``map``, ``flat_map`` has an argument ``max_rows``. It clamps the maximum number
of new rows that can be created for each input row. This serves a similar function as
the clamping bounds on aggregations we used in :ref:`clamping bounds tutorial<Clamping bounds>`, and
also has the analogous trade-offs: higher values for ``max_rows`` will result in more
noise in the final results, while lower values may cause more rows to be silently
dropped. In this case, the choice is easy: no members have more than three favorites and
there are many members with three, so we set ``max_rows=3``.

.. testcode::

    genre_keys = KeySet.from_dict(
        {
            "genre": [
                "Mystery/thriller/crime",
                "History",
                "Biographies/memoirs",
                "Romance",
                "Cookbooks/food writing",
                "Science fiction",
                "Fantasy",
                "Classics/Literature",
                "Health/wellness",
                "Religion/spirituality",
                "Self-help",
                "True crime",
                "Political",
                "Current affairs",
                "Graphic novels",
                "Business",
                "Poetry",
                "Westerns",
            ],
        }
    )
    genre_count_query = (
        QueryBuilder("members")
        .flat_map(
            expand_genre,
            new_column_types={"genre": ColumnType.VARCHAR},
            max_rows=3,
        )
        .groupby(genre_keys)
        .count()
    )
    genre_counts = session.evaluate(
        genre_count_query,
        privacy_budget=PureDPBudget(epsilon=1),
    )

.. code-block::

    g = sns.barplot(
        x="genre",
        y="count",
        data=genre_counts.toPandas().sort_values("count", ascending=False),
        color="#1f77b4",
    )
    g.set_xticklabels(g.get_xticklabels(), rotation=45, horizontalalignment="right")
    plt.ylim(0, 20000)
    plt.title("Favorite genres")
    plt.xlabel("Genre")
    plt.ylabel("Count")
    plt.show()

Binning
-----------

So far if we wanted to create a histogram of age and gender, we would have needed to use
separate keys for each age. Instead, we will show how we can use age ranges as keys.

First, we need to decide on what bins we want to use for ages. Let's use groups of
10 years. So 0-9, 10-19, and so on.

The simplest way to do this is to define a :class:`~tmlt.analytics.binning_spec.BinningSpec` object,
which allows us to assign values to bins based on a list of bin edges.


.. testcode::

    from tmlt.analytics.binning_spec import BinningSpec
    # bin edges at [0, 10, 20,...,100]
    age_binspec = BinningSpec(bin_edges = [10*i for i in range(0, 11)])

    example_row = {
        "id": 421742,
        "name": "Panfilo",
        "age": 51,
        "gender": "male",
        "education_level": "doctorate-professional",
        "zip_code": 27513,
        "books_borrowed": 32,
        "favorite_genres": "Romance;Classics/Literature;Current affairs",
        "date_joined": "2021-12-22",
    }


    age = example_row["age"]
    print(age_binspec(age))

.. testoutput::

    (50, 60]

Now that we have our bins specified, we can use them in a query.

To add the bins to our query, we use the :meth:`bin_column<tmlt.analytics.query_builder.QueryBuilder.bin_column>`
feature of the QueryBuilder interface, which creates a new column by
assigning the values in a given column to bins. Here, we provide the column
we want to bin and the BinningSpec object, as well as the optional `name` parameter
to specify the name of the new column.


.. testcode::

    from tmlt.analytics.query_builder import ColumnType

    binned_age_gender_keys = KeySet.from_dict(
        {
            "binned_age": age_binspec.bins(),
            "gender": ["female", "male", "nonbinary", "unspecified"],
        }
    )
    binned_age_gender_count_query = (
        QueryBuilder("members")
        .bin_column("age", age_binspec, name="binned_age")
        .groupby(binned_age_gender_keys)
        .count()
    )
    binned_age_gender_counts = session.evaluate(
        binned_age_gender_count_query,
        privacy_budget=PureDPBudget(epsilon=1),
    )

.. code-block::

    gender_order = ["female", "male", "nonbinary", "unspecified"]
    sns.set(rc = {'figure.figsize':(9,6)})
    sns.barplot(
        x="binned_age",
        y="count",
        order = age_binspec.bins(),
        hue="gender",
        hue_order=gender_order,
        data=binned_age_gender_counts.toPandas()
    )
    plt.ylim(0, 6000)
    plt.title("Count of Library Members, by Age and Gender")
    plt.xlabel("Age")
    plt.ylabel("Count")
    plt.tick_params(axis='both', which='major', labelsize=10)
    plt.legend(loc="upper left")
    plt.show()

.. image:: ../images/chart_counts_age_gender.png
    :alt: A bar chart plotting the count of members by each age bin and gender. The chart is bimodal with peaks at 10-19 and 50-59 with no significant interaction between age and gender.
    :align: center

Also available is the :meth:`histogram<tmlt.analytics.query_builder.QueryBuilder.histogram>`
method, which provides a shorthand syntax for obtaining binned counts in
simple cases.

Public joins
--------------

Another common transformation is joining our private data with public data. In this
example, we will augment our private data with the city, count, and population for each
ZIP code.

.. testcode::

    # ZIP code data is based on https://worldpopulationreview.com/zips/north-carolina
    spark.sparkContext.addFile(
        "https://tumult-public.s3.amazonaws.com/nc-zip-codes.csv"
    )
    nc_zip_df = spark.read.csv(
       SparkFiles.get("nc-zip-codes.csv"), header=True, inferSchema=True
    )
    nc_zip_df.show(10)

.. testoutput::
   :options: +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE

    |   28269|   Charlotte|Mecklenburg County|   77248.0|
    |   28277|   Charlotte|Mecklenburg County|   72132.0|
    |   28027|     Concord|   Cabarrus County|   68716.0|
    |   27587| Wake Forest|       Wake County|   68491.0|
    |   27406|  Greensboro|   Guilford County|   63199.0|
    |   28215|   Charlotte|Mecklenburg County|   62543.0|
    |   28078|Huntersville|Mecklenburg County|   61043.0|
    |   28173|      Waxhaw|      Union County|   59559.0|
    |   27858|  Greenville|       Pitt County|   59182.0|
    +--------+------------+------------------+----------+
    only showing top 10 rows

Before we can use this public DataFrame in a join, we will need to do some
preprocessing.

First, we will rename the column "Zip Code" to "zip_code" and convert it from integer
to string so that it matches the private data.

Second, the public data has `NaN <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NaN>`_ values instead of
zero for some of the population counts. We will replace the NaN values with zero.

.. testcode::

    nc_zip_df = nc_zip_df.withColumnRenamed("Zip Code", "zip_code")
    nc_zip_df = nc_zip_df.withColumn("zip_code", nc_zip_df.zip_code.cast('string'))
    nc_zip_df = nc_zip_df.fillna(0)

Now we can join the public data and then count how many members are in each city.

.. testcode::

    # Note that this dataframe has the same values of the "City" appearing multiple
    # times, but that's OK, KeySet automatically removes duplicates.
    zip_code_keys = KeySet.from_dataframe(nc_zip_df.select("City"))
    members_per_city_query = (
        QueryBuilder("members")
        .join_public(nc_zip_df)
        .groupby(zip_code_keys)
        .count()
    )
    members_per_city_df = session.evaluate(
       members_per_city_query,
       privacy_budget=PureDPBudget(epsilon=1),
    )

    members_per_city_df = members_per_city_df.orderBy("count", ascending=False)
    members_per_city_df.show(10)
