DataFrameGroupBy.skew(axis=_NoDefault.no_default, skipna=True, numeric_only=False, **kwargs)[source]#

Return unbiased skew within groups.

Normalized by N-1.

Parameters

axis{0 or ‘index’, 1 or ‘columns’, None}, default 0

Axis for the function to be applied on.

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.

**kwargs
