pandas.core.window.rolling.Rolling.min

Rolling.min(*args, engine=None, engine_kwargs=None, **kwargs)[source]

Calculate the rolling minimum.

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 setting compute.use_numba

    New in version 1.3.0.

engine_kwargsdict, default None
  • For 'cython' engine, there are no accepted engine_kwargs

  • For 'numba' engine, the engine can accept nopython, nogil and parallel dictionary keys. The values must either be True or False. The default engine_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.

Performing a rolling minimum with a window size of 3.

>>> s = pd.Series([4, 3, 5, 2, 6])
>>> s.rolling(3).min()
0    NaN
1    NaN
2    3.0
3    2.0
4    2.0
