pandas.Panel4D

class pandas.Panel4D(data=None, labels=None, items=None, major_axis=None, minor_axis=None, copy=False, dtype=None)

Panel4D is a 4-Dimensional named container very much like a Panel, but having 4 named dimensions. It is intended as a test bed for more N-Dimensional named containers.

Parameters:

data : ndarray (labels x items x major x minor), or dict of Panels

labels : Index or array-like

items : Index or array-like

major_axis : Index or array-like: axis=2

minor_axis : Index or array-like: axis=3

dtype : dtype, default None

Data type to force, otherwise infer

copy : boolean, default False

Copy data from inputs. Only affects DataFrame / 2d ndarray input
