DataFrame.groupbyApply a function groupby to each row or column of a DataFrame.
Examples
For SeriesGroupBy:
>>> lst = ['a', 'a', 'b']
>>> ser = pd.Series([1, 2, np.nan], index=lst)
>>> ser
a 1.0
a 2.0
b NaN
dtype: float64
>>> ser.groupby(level=0).count()
a 2
b 0
dtype: int64
For DataFrameGroupBy:
>>> data = [[1, np.nan, 3], [1, np.nan, 6], [7, 8, 9]]
>>> df = pd.DataFrame(data, columns=["a", "b", "c"],
... index=["cow", "horse", "bull"])
>>> df
a b c
cow 1 NaN 3
horse 1 NaN 6
bull 7 8.0 9
>>> df.groupby("a").count()
b c
a
1 0 2
7 1 1
For Resampler:
>>> ser = pd.Series([1, 2, 3, 4], index=pd.DatetimeIndex(
... ['2023-01-01', '2023-01-15', '2023-02-01', '2023-02-15']))
>>> ser
2023-01-01 1
2023-01-15 2
2023-02-01 3
2023-02-15 4
dtype: int64
>>> ser.resample('MS').count()
2023-01-01 2
2023-02-01 2
Freq: MS, dtype: int64
