pandas.DataFrame.max

DataFrame.max(axis=0, skipna=True, level=None)

Parameters :

axis : {0, 1}

0 for row-wise, 1 for column-wise

skipna : boolean, default True

Exclude NA/null values. If an entire row/column is NA, the result will be NA

level : int, default None

If the axis is a MultiIndex (hierarchical), count along a particular level, collapsing into a DataFrame

Returns :

max : Series (or DataFrame if level specified)

See also

Return, NA

Notes

This method returns the maximum of the values in the DataFrame. If you want the index of the maximum, use DataFrame.idxmax. This is the equivalent of the numpy.ndarray method argmax.
