pandas.DataFrame.rolling¶

DataFrame.rolling(window, min_periods=None, center=False, win_type=None, on=None, axis=0, closed=None, method='single')[source]¶

Provide rolling window calculations.

Parameters

windowint, offset, or BaseIndexer subclass

Size of the moving window. This is the number of observations used for calculating the statistic. Each window will be a fixed size.

If its an offset then this will be the time period of each window. Each window will be a variable sized based on the observations included in the time-period. This is only valid for datetimelike indexes.

If a BaseIndexer subclass is passed, calculates the window boundaries based on the defined get_window_bounds method. Additional rolling keyword arguments, namely min_periods, center, and closed will be passed to get_window_bounds.

min_periodsint, default None

Minimum number of observations in window required to have a value (otherwise result is NA). For a window that is specified by an offset, min_periods will default to 1. Otherwise, min_periods will default to the size of the window.

centerbool, default False

Set the labels at the center of the window.

win_typestr, default None

Provide a window type. If None, all points are evenly weighted. See the notes below for further information.

onstr, optional

For a DataFrame, a datetime-like column or Index level on which to calculate the rolling window, rather than the DataFrame’s index. Provided integer column is ignored and excluded from result since an integer index is not used to calculate the rolling window.

axisint or str, default 0

closedstr, default None

Make the interval closed on the ‘right’, ‘left’, ‘both’ or ‘neither’ endpoints. Defaults to ‘right’.

Changed in version 1.2.0: The closed parameter with fixed windows is now supported.

methodstr {‘single’, ‘table’}, default ‘single’

Execute the rolling operation per single column or row ('single') or over the entire object ('table').

This argument is only implemented when specifying engine='numba' in the method call.

New in version 1.3.0.

Returns

a Window or Rolling sub-classed for the particular operation

ewm: Provides exponential weighted functions.

Notes

By default, the result is set to the right edge of the window. This can be changed to the center of the window by setting center=True.

To learn more about the offsets & frequency strings, please see this link.

If win_type=None, all points are evenly weighted; otherwise, win_type can accept a string of any scipy.signal window function.

Certain Scipy window types require additional parameters to be passed in the aggregation function. The additional parameters must match the keywords specified in the Scipy window type method signature. Please see the third example below on how to add the additional parameters.

Examples

>>> df = pd.DataFrame({'B': [0, 1, 2, np.nan, 4]})
>>> df
     B
0  0.0
1  1.0
2  2.0
3  NaN
4  4.0

Rolling sum with a window length of 2, using the ‘triang’ window type.

>>> df.rolling(2, win_type='triang').sum()
     B
NaN
0.5
1.5
NaN
NaN

Rolling sum with a window length of 2, using the ‘gaussian’ window type (note how we need to specify std).

>>> df.rolling(2, win_type='gaussian').sum(std=3)
          B
     NaN
0.986207
2.958621
     NaN
     NaN

Rolling sum with a window length of 2, min_periods defaults to the window length.

>>> df.rolling(2).sum()
     B
NaN
1.0
3.0
NaN
NaN

Same as above, but explicitly set the min_periods

>>> df.rolling(2, min_periods=1).sum()
     B
0.0
1.0
3.0
2.0
4.0

Same as above, but with forward-looking windows

>>> indexer = pd.api.indexers.FixedForwardWindowIndexer(window_size=2)
>>> df.rolling(window=indexer, min_periods=1).sum()
     B
0  1.0
1  3.0
2  2.0
3  4.0
4  4.0

A ragged (meaning not-a-regular frequency), time-indexed DataFrame

>>> df = pd.DataFrame({'B': [0, 1, 2, np.nan, 4]},
...                   index = [pd.Timestamp('20130101 09:00:00'),
...                            pd.Timestamp('20130101 09:00:02'),
...                            pd.Timestamp('20130101 09:00:03'),
...                            pd.Timestamp('20130101 09:00:05'),
...                            pd.Timestamp('20130101 09:00:06')])

>>> df
                       B
2013-01-01 09:00:00  0.0
2013-01-01 09:00:02  1.0
2013-01-01 09:00:03  2.0
2013-01-01 09:00:05  NaN
2013-01-01 09:00:06  4.0

Contrasting to an integer rolling window, this will roll a variable length window corresponding to the time period. The default for min_periods is 1.

>>> df.rolling('2s').sum()
                       B
2013-01-01 09:00:00  0.0
2013-01-01 09:00:02  1.0
2013-01-01 09:00:03  3.0
2013-01-01 09:00:05  NaN
2013-01-01 09:00:06  4.0
