pandas.core.window.expanding.Expanding.mean#

Expanding.mean(numeric_only=False, engine=None, engine_kwargs=None)[source]#

Calculate the expanding mean.

Parameters:
numeric_onlybool, default False

Include only float, int, boolean columns.

Added in version 1.5.0.

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

    Added 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}

    Added in version 1.3.0.

Returns:
Series or DataFrame

Return type is the same as the original object with np.float64 dtype.
