pandas.Panel

class pandas.Panel(data=None, items=None, major_axis=None, minor_axis=None, copy=False, dtype=None)[source]
Represents wide format panel data, stored as 3-dimensional array

Deprecated since version 0.20.0: The recommended way to represent 3-D data are with a MultiIndex on a DataFrame via the to_frame() method or with the xarray package. Pandas provides a to_xarray() method to automate this conversion.

Parameters:

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

items : Index or array-like

axis=0

major_axis : Index or array-like

axis=1

minor_axis : Index or array-like

axis=2

dtype : dtype, default None

Data type to force, otherwise infer

copy : boolean, default False

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