pandas.Series.product#

Series.product(axis=None, skipna=True, numeric_only=False, min_count=0, **kwargs)[source]#

Return the product of the values over the requested axis.

Parameters:

axis{index (0)}

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.

min_countint, default 0

The required number of valid values to perform the operation. If fewer than min_count non-NA values are present the result will be NA.

**kwargs

Additional keyword arguments to be passed to the function.

Returns:

Series.min: Return the minimum.
Series.max: Return the maximum.
Series.idxmin: Return the index of the minimum.
Series.idxmax: Return the index of the maximum.
DataFrame.sum: Return the sum over the requested axis.
DataFrame.min: Return the minimum over the requested axis.
DataFrame.max: Return the maximum over the requested axis.
DataFrame.idxmin: Return the index of the minimum over the requested axis.
DataFrame.idxmax: Return the index of the maximum over the requested axis.

Examples

By default, the product of an empty or all-NA Series is 1

>>> pd.Series([], dtype="float64").prod()
1.0

This can be controlled with the min_count parameter

>>> pd.Series([], dtype="float64").prod(min_count=1)
nan

Thanks to the skipna parameter, min_count handles all-NA and empty series identically.

>>> pd.Series([np.nan]).prod()
1.0

>>> pd.Series([np.nan]).prod(min_count=1)
nan
