使用 datetime 创建示例 DataFrame

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

np.random.seed(0)
# create an array of 5 dates starting at '2015-02-24', one per minute
rng = pd.date_range('2015-02-24', periods=5, freq='T')
df = pd.DataFrame({ 'Date': rng, 'Val': np.random.randn(len(rng)) }) 

print (df)
# Output:
#                  Date       Val
# 0 2015-02-24 00:00:00  1.764052
# 1 2015-02-24 00:01:00  0.400157
# 2 2015-02-24 00:02:00  0.978738
# 3 2015-02-24 00:03:00  2.240893
# 4 2015-02-24 00:04:00  1.867558

# create an array of 5 dates starting at '2015-02-24', one per day
rng = pd.date_range('2015-02-24', periods=5, freq='D')
df = pd.DataFrame({ 'Date': rng, 'Val' : np.random.randn(len(rng))}) 

print (df)
# Output:
#         Date       Val
# 0 2015-02-24 -0.977278
# 1 2015-02-25  0.950088
# 2 2015-02-26 -0.151357
# 3 2015-02-27 -0.103219
# 4 2015-02-28  0.410599

# create an array of 5 dates starting at '2015-02-24', one every 3 years
rng = pd.date_range('2015-02-24', periods=5, freq='3A')
df = pd.DataFrame({ 'Date': rng, 'Val' : np.random.randn(len(rng))})  

print (df)
# Output:
#         Date       Val
# 0 2015-12-31  0.144044
# 1 2018-12-31  1.454274
# 2 2021-12-31  0.761038
# 3 2024-12-31  0.121675
# 4 2027-12-31  0.443863

与 DatetimeIndex 的 DataFrame ：

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

np.random.seed(0)
rng = pd.date_range('2015-02-24', periods=5, freq='T')
df = pd.DataFrame({ 'Val' : np.random.randn(len(rng)) }, index=rng)  

print (df)
# Output:
#                           Val
# 2015-02-24 00:00:00  1.764052
# 2015-02-24 00:01:00  0.400157
# 2015-02-24 00:02:00  0.978738
# 2015-02-24 00:03:00  2.240893
# 2015-02-24 00:04:00  1.867558
