Just to make that clear at the start. I'm talking about rows and not about columns:

I am working with a pandas Dataframe that saves multiple decibel Values. My job is it to get the average of n rows. I get the values from an .wav file where I run an stft function to save the data saved in the .wav file into an pd.Dataframe. Because I work with large files I have to aggregate the Dataframe in order to save DiskSpace.
I already have an algorithm that calculates n, the aggregation, so I only need to run the command to do so.
for example:
When the aggregation n is 4 the Dataframe should be converted from:
this:
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 ...
3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24 ...
...
into this:
{2, 4, 6, 8}, {10, 12, 14, 16} ... ,{3, 6, 9, 12}, {15, 18, 21, 24} ...
to this:
{5}, {13} ... {7.5}, {19.5} ...
and in the end to a new Dataframe:
5, 13, ...
7.5, 19.5, ...
...
This is the Dataframe I'm working with:
0 1 2 ... 510 511 512
0 -50.148830 -50.731472 -58.459068 ... -80.000000 -80.000000 -80.000000
1 -49.234821 -49.215736 -57.735603 ... -80.000000 -80.000000 -80.000000
2 -53.309082 -53.790737 -61.091209 ... -80.000000 -80.000000 -80.000000
3 -50.511078 -51.120682 -59.740089 ... -80.000000 -80.000000 -80.000000
4 -52.077423 -51.985920 -59.107773 ... -80.000000 -80.000000 -80.000000
5 -47.280487 -47.177921 -56.507130 ... -80.000000 -80.000000 -80.000000
so when we take a look how the first line should change when n is three:
0 -50.148830 -50.731472 -58.459068 ... -80.000000 -80.000000 -80.000000
They get "grouped":
array = [{-50.148830, -50.731472, -58.459068}, ..., {-80.000000, -80.000000, -80.000000}, ...];
Then the avarage/mean()? the array
array = [{-53.1131}, ..., {-80.000000}, ...];
But instead of doing this to only one line do it to all of them and convert them back into an pd.Dataframe.
0 ... 512
0 -53.1131 ... -80.000000
1 -52.0620 ... -80.000000
2 -56.0636 ... -80.000000
3 -53.7906 ... -80.000000
4 -54.3904 ... -80.000000
5 -50.3219 ... -80.000000
I tried the groupby function but I always get an Value Error:
n = 3
pd.Dataframe = data
grouped = data.groupby(np.arange(len(data)) // n, axis=1).mean()
output:
ValueError: Grouper and axis must be same length
I couldn't find a solution on the internet so any help is appreciated :D
