pandas.core.window.Expanding.aggregate

Expanding.aggregate(arg, *args, **kwargs)

Aggregate using one or more operations over the specified axis.

Parameters:

func : function, str, list or dict

Function to use for aggregating the data. If a function, must either work when passed a Series/Dataframe or when passed to Series/Dataframe.apply.

Accepted combinations are:

• function
• string function name
• list of functions and/or function names, e.g. [np.sum, 'mean']
• dict of axis labels -> functions, function names or list of such.

*args

Positional arguments to pass to func.

**kwargs

Keyword arguments to pass to func.

Returns:

DataFrame, Series or scalar

if DataFrame.agg is called with a single function, returns a Series if DataFrame.agg is called with several functions, returns a DataFrame if Series.agg is called with single function, returns a scalar if Series.agg is called with several functions, returns a Series

Notes

agg is an alias for aggregate. Use the alias.

A passed user-defined-function will be passed a Series for evaluation.
