如何更快找到多LazyFrame列函数最小化结果对应的x值？

我有一个包含多列小时数据的Polars LazyFrame，数据按周期划分。需要为每个周期找到x值，使一个涉及多列数学运算的函数结果最小化。目前用scipy.optimize.minimize实现，但运行速度极慢，求更快的实现方案。

原实现代码 #

import scipy
import polars as pl
from datetime import datetime

hourly_data = pl.DataFrame({
    'period': [0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,3,3],
    'price': [4,4,4,4,4,4,5,5,5,5,5,5,6,6,6,6,6,6,7,7,7,7,7,7],
    'quantity': [7,7,7,7,7,7,6,6,6,6,6,6,5,5,5,5,5,5,4,4,4,4,4,4],
    'estimated_price': [5,5,5,5,5,5,6,6,6,6,6,6,7,7,7,7,7,7,8,8,8,8,8,8],
    'estimated_quantity': [6,6,6,6,6,6,5,5,5,5,5,5,4,4,4,4,4,4,3,3,3,3,3,3],
    'key_product': [0.9,0.8,0.7,0.8,0.9,0.8,0.7,0.8,0.9,0.8,0.7,0.8,0.9,0.8,0.7,0.8,0.9,0.8,0.7,0.8,0.9,0.8,0.7,0.8],
    'initial_guess': [10,10,10,10,10,10,20,20,20,20,20,20,30,30,30,30,30,30,40,40,40,40,40,40]
}).lazy()
hourly_data = hourly_data.with_columns(pl.datetime_range(datetime(2024,1,1), datetime(2024,1,1,23), '1h').alias('hour'))
hourly_data = hourly_data.with_columns(pl.col('hour').min().over('period').alias('period_start'))

def minimization_target(x, period_start):
    return hourly_data.filter(pl.col('period_start') == period_start).select(
        (((pl.col('price').median() * pl.col('quantity').median() - (pl.col('estimated_quantity') * (pl.col('estimated_price') + x)).sum()) 
        / (pl.col('key_product') * (pl.col('estimated_price') + x)).sum()).abs() - 1).abs()
    ).collect().item()

results = hourly_data.group_by('period_start', maintain_order=True).map_groups(
    lambda group: pl.DataFrame({'x_values': scipy.optimize.minimize(
        minimization_target, 
        group.get_column('initial_guess').median(), 
        args=group.get_column('period_start').median()
    ).x}), 
    schema=None
)

优化方案 #

原代码的核心问题是每次优化迭代都要重复查询、过滤Polars数据并执行collect，带来巨大的IO和计算开销。优化思路是先预计算所有周期的固定聚合值，将目标函数转化为纯数值运算。

步骤1：预计算周期级聚合参数 #

一次性计算每个周期所需的固定值，避免重复查询：

import scipy.optimize
import polars as pl
from datetime import datetime

# 初始化数据
hourly_data = pl.DataFrame({
    'period': [0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,3,3],
    'price': [4,4,4,4,4,4,5,5,5,5,5,5,6,6,6,6,6,6,7,7,7,7,7,7],
    'quantity': [7,7,7,7,7,7,6,6,6,6,6,6,5,5,5,5,5,5,4,4,4,4,4,4],
    'estimated_price': [5,5,5,5,5,5,6,6,6,6,6,6,7,7,7,7,7,7,8,8,8,8,8,8],
    'estimated_quantity': [6,6,6,6,6,6,5,5,5,5,5,5,4,4,4,4,4,4,3,3,3,3,3,3],
    'key_product': [0.9,0.8,0.7,0.8,0.9,0.8,0.7,0.8,0.9,0.8,0.7,0.8,0.9,0.8,0.7,0.8,0.9,0.8,0.7,0.8,0.9,0.8,0.7,0.8],
    'initial_guess': [10,10,10,10,10,10,20,20,20,20,20,20,30,30,30,30,30,30,40,40,40,40,40,40]
}).lazy()
hourly_data = hourly_data.with_columns(pl.datetime_range(datetime(2024,1,1), datetime(2024,1,1,23), '1h').alias('hour'))
hourly_data = hourly_data.with_columns(pl.col('hour').min().over('period').alias('period_start'))

# 预计算每个周期的聚合参数
period_params = hourly_data.group_by('period_start', maintain_order=True).agg(
    pl.col('price').median().alias('price_med'),
    pl.col('quantity').median().alias('qty_med'),
    pl.col('estimated_quantity').sum().alias('est_qty_sum'),
    pl.col('estimated_quantity').mul(pl.col('estimated_price')).sum().alias('est_qty_price_sum'),
    pl.col('key_product').sum().alias('key_sum'),
    pl.col('key_product').mul(pl.col('estimated_price')).sum().alias('key_price_sum'),
    pl.col('initial_guess').median().alias('init_guess')
).collect()

步骤2：重构目标函数为纯数值运算 #

直接使用预计算的参数，无需再操作Polars数据：

def fast_target(x, params):
    price_med, qty_med, est_qty_sum, est_qty_price_sum, key_sum, key_price_sum = params
    numerator = abs((price_med * qty_med) - (est_qty_price_sum + x * est_qty_sum))
    denominator = abs(key_price_sum + x * key_sum)
    return abs(numerator / denominator - 1)

步骤3：批量执行优化 #

遍历每个周期的参数，调用scipy优化：

results = []
for row in period_params.rows(named=True):
    params = (row['price_med'], row['qty_med'], row['est_qty_sum'], row['est_qty_price_sum'], row['key_sum'], row['key_price_sum'])
    res = scipy.optimize.minimize(fast_target, row['init_guess'], args=(params,))
    results.append({'period_start': row['period_start'], 'x_values': res.x[0]})

# 转换为Polars DataFrame
results_df = pl.DataFrame(results).sort('period_start')
print(results_df)

优化效果说明 #

• 仅做一次Polars聚合计算，后续全为纯数值运算，避免了重复查询的开销，速度提升显著。
• 目标函数逻辑与原代码完全一致，输出结果与期望完全匹配。
