change numerical values to categorical names

[JoeOpdenaker]

I am trying to convert numerical data points to categorical names in output. I want it to be labelled as categorical name but I need the raw data to stay numeric for functions elsewhere in the code. I have done this in anothe language (SAS) but I'm having trouble in python. I have found some code to clean up numbers (posted below). I do not get any errrors but it also does not change the output. Note. Please advise.

cleanup_nums = {"Congruency": {1: 'Congruent', 2:'Incongruent'}, "CueState": {1:'No Cue', 2: 'Center Cue', 3:'Spatial Cue' }}

How can we help, if there is no code except the dictionary?
If you use pandas, you can do it easily, e.g.

In [75]: import pandas as pd ...: ...: mapper = {1: 'John', 2: 'July'} ...: ...: df = pd.DataFrame({'names': [1, 2, 1, 1], 'age': [10, 20, 10, 10]}) ...: ...: df.names.map( mapper)

Output:
Out[75]: 0 John 1 July 2 John 3 John Name: names, dtype: object

I am not sure I understand your problem? Can you elaborate?

Example without pandas.

cleanup_nums = { "Congruency": { 1: 'Congruent', 2:'Incongruent', }, "CueState": { 1:'No Cue', 2: 'Center Cue', 3:'Spatial Cue', }, } # (Congruency, CueState) data = [ (1,2), (2,1), (1,3), (1,1), ] data_categories = [] for congruency, cuestate in data: congruency_name = cleanup_nums["Congruency"][congruency] cuestate_name = cleanup_nums["CueState"][cuestate] row = (congruency_name, cuestate_name) data_categories.append(row) print(data_categories)
