A DataSeries is a one-dimensional data container, similar to a one-dimensional Array, but whose entries can be referenced by "labels", as well as by position.

A related two-dimensional data container, known as a DataFrame is also available.

You can access the elements of a DataSeries similar to the way in which you access Array elements, by indexing the DataSeries by position. If ds is a DataSeries, then ds[ i ] evaluates to the ith element of ds. However, the elements of a DataSeries are also associated with symbolic names, and you can use these names to refer to DataSeries elements as well.

ds := DataSeries( [ sin( x ), cos( x ), tan( x ) ], 'labels' = [ 's', 'c', 't' ] );

$\mathrm{ds}≔\left[\begin{array}{cc}s& \sin \left(x\right)\\ c& \cos \left(x\right)\\ t& \tan \left(x\right)\end{array}\right]$

ds[ 2 ];

$\cos \left(x\right)$

ds[ 'c' ];

$\cos \left(x\right)$

To select a range of entries in a DataSeries, returning the result as a DataSeries, use a range of indices or labels.

ds[ 1 .. 2 ];

$\left[\begin{array}{cc}s& \sin \left(x\right)\\ c& \cos \left(x\right)\end{array}\right]$

ds[ 'c' .. 't' ];

$\left[\begin{array}{cc}c& \cos \left(x\right)\\ t& \tan \left(x\right)\end{array}\right]$

Note that indices and labels can be used together:

ds[ 'c' .. -1 ];

$\left[\begin{array}{cc}c& \cos \left(x\right)\\ t& \tan \left(x\right)\end{array}\right]$

You can select non-contiguous entries by enclosing the desired indices in a list.

ds[ [ 's', 't' ] ];

$\left[\begin{array}{cc}s& \sin \left(x\right)\\ t& \tan \left(x\right)\end{array}\right]$

One particular application for this kind of index is to re-order the given DataSeries.

ds2 := ds[ [ 2, 3, 1 ] ];

$\mathrm{ds2}≔\left[\begin{array}{cc}c& \cos \left(x\right)\\ t& \tan \left(x\right)\\ s& \sin \left(x\right)\end{array}\right]$

$\mathrm{ds}≔\mathrm{DataSeries}\left(\left[4\,5\,6\right]\,'\mathrm{labels}'=\left['a'\,'b'\,'c'\right]\right)$

$\mathrm{ds}≔\left[\begin{array}{cc}a& 4\\ b& 5\\ c& 6\end{array}\right]$

$\mathrm{type}\left(\mathrm{ds}\,\mathrm{DataSeries}\right)$

$\mathrm{true}$

$\mathrm{type}\left(\mathrm{ds}\,'\mathrm{Array}'\right)$

$\mathrm{false}$

$\mathrm{ds}\left[1\right]$

$4$

$\mathrm{ds}\left[b\right]$

$5$

ds >~ 4;

$\left[\begin{array}{cc}a& \mathrm{false}\\ b& \mathrm{true}\\ c& \mathrm{true}\end{array}\right]$

ds[ ds >~ 4 ];

$\left[\begin{array}{cc}b& 5\\ c& 6\end{array}\right]$
