I have a 4000 record plus pandas dataframe with records for individual events by time stamp



Timestamp            Date        Holiday  DayOfWeek
2017-01-01 02:25:00 2017-01-01 True Monday
2017-01-01 12:25:00 2017-01-01 True Monday
2017-01-02 03:45:00 2017-01-02 False Tuesday
2017-01-02 15:55:00 2017-01-02 False Tuesday
2017-02-03 01:01:00 2017-02-03 False Thursday
2017-02-03 4:25:00 2017-02-03 False Thursday
2017-04-03 4:25:00 2017-04-03 True Monday


What I'm trying to do is compare the means of events per day by day of the week and if it was on a holiday.

So for each day of the week, compare the the average number of events per day for when that day was a holiday vs when that day was NOT a holiday.



events.groupby(['DayOfWeek', 'Holiday']).count()


Will get me the number of events for each day of the week by holiday



DayOfWeek Holiday  Count
Monday True 50
False 34
Tuesday True 32
False 23
...


But I can't figure out how to combine this with the number of events per individual date



events.groupby('Date').count()
Date Count
01-01-2017 2
01-02-2017 2
01-03-2017 4
....


I want a data frame more like



DayOfWeek Holiday  Mean
Monday True 4.5
False 3.23
Tuesday True 2.1
False 3.2
...


And then ideally make a bar chart from it.



But can't figure out how to combine the operations to create what I want first.

          If I understand correctly, what you're looking for should be



          df.groupby(['Date', 'DayOfWeek', 'Holiday']).count().reset_index().groupby(['DayOfWeek', 'Holiday']).mean()['Timestamp']


          First we group by date (and DayOfWeek and Holiday to preserve the columns - they will always be the same for any single date), count the records per date, reset the index, group by DayOfWeek and Holiday and calculate the mean.



          For the sample data you provided this results in



          DayOfWeek  Holiday
          Monday True 1.5
          Thursday False 2.0
          Tuesday False 2.0
