Compute mean of groups, excluding missing values.
Include only float, int, boolean columns.
Changed in version 2.0.0: numeric_only no longer accepts None and defaults to False.
'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 1.4.0.
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 1.4.0.
