pandas.DataFrame.min#
- DataFrame.min(axis=0, skipna=True, numeric_only=False, **kwargs)[source]#
Return the minimum of the values over the requested axis.
If you want the index of the minimum, use
idxmin
. This is the equivalent of thenumpy.ndarray
methodargmin
.- Parameters
- axis{index (0), columns (1)}
Axis for the function to be applied on. For Series this parameter is unused and defaults to 0.
For DataFrames, specifying
axis=None
will apply the aggregation across both axes.New in version 2.0.0.
- skipnabool, default True
Exclude NA/null values when computing the result.
- numeric_onlybool, default False
Include only float, int, boolean columns. Not implemented for Series.
- **kwargs
Additional keyword arguments to be passed to the function.
- Returns
- Series or scalar
