pandas.core.groupby.DataFrameGroupBy.skew

DataFrameGroupBy.skew(axis=<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.

Added in version 2.0.0.

Deprecated since version 2.1.0: For axis=1, operate on the underlying object instead. Otherwise the axis keyword is not necessary.

skipna:bool, default True

Exclude NA/null values when computing the result.

numeric_only:bool, default False

Include only float, int, boolean columns.

**kwargs

Additional keyword arguments to be passed to the function.

Returns:

DataFrame

Return unbiased skew over requested axis.
