pandas.core.window.rolling.Rolling.mean¶
- Rolling.mean(*args, engine=None, engine_kwargs=None, **kwargs)[source]¶
Calculate the rolling mean.
- Parameters
- *args
For NumPy compatibility and will not have an effect on the result.
- enginestr, default None
'cython'
: Runs the operation through C-extensions from cython.'numba'
: Runs the operation through JIT compiled code from numba.None
: Defaults to'cython'
or globally settingcompute.use_numba
New in version 1.3.0.
- engine_kwargsdict, default None
For
'cython'
engine, there are no acceptedengine_kwargs
For
'numba'
engine, the engine can acceptnopython
,nogil
andparallel
dictionary keys. The values must either beTrue
orFalse
. The defaultengine_kwargs
for the'numba'
engine is{'nopython': True, 'nogil': False, 'parallel': False}
New in version 1.3.0.
- **kwargs
For NumPy compatibility and will not have an effect on the result.
- Returns
- Series or DataFrame
Return type is the same as the original object with
np.float64
dtype.

Examples
The below examples will show rolling mean calculations with window sizes of two and three, respectively.
>>> s = pd.Series([1, 2, 3, 4]) >>> s.rolling(2).mean() 0 NaN 1 1.5 2 2.5 3 3.5 dtype: float64
>>> s.rolling(3).mean() 0 NaN 1 NaN 2 2.0 3 3.0 dtype: float64
