  • average: average rank of group
  • min: lowest rank in group
  • max: highest rank in group

  • dense: like ‘min’, but rank always increases by 1 between groups

na_option : {‘keep’}

keep: leave NA values where they are

ascending : boolean, default True

False for ranks by high (1) to low (N)

pct : boolean, default False

Computes percentage rank of data
