polars.Series.rle_id#

Series.rle_id() → Series[source]#

Map values to run IDs.

Similar to RLE, but it maps each value to an ID corresponding to the run into which it falls. This is especially useful when you want to define groups by runs of identical values rather than the values themselves.

Returns:
