Signature: pd.DataFrame.rolling(self, window, min_periods=None, freq=None, center=False, win_type=None, on=None, axis=0, closed=None)
Docstring:
Provides rolling window calculations.
.. versionadded:: 0.18.0
Parameters
----------
window : int, or offset
Size of the moving window. This is the number of observations used for
calculating the statistic. Each window will be a fixed size.
If its an offset then this will be the time period of each window. Each
window will be a variable sized based on the observations included in
the time-period. This is only valid for datetimelike indexes. This is
new in 0.19.0
min_periods : int, default None
Minimum number of observations in window required to have a value
(otherwise result is NA). For a window that is specified by an offset,
this will default to 1.
freq : string or DateOffset object, optional (default None)
.. deprecated:: 0.18.0
Frequency to conform the data to before computing the statistic.
Specified as a frequency string or DateOffset object.
center : boolean, default False
Set the labels at the center of the window.
win_type : string, default None
Provide a window type. See the notes below.
on : string, optional
For a DataFrame, column on which to calculate
the rolling window, rather than the index
closed : string, default None
Make the interval closed on the 'right', 'left', 'both' or
'neither' endpoints.
For offset-based windows, it defaults to 'right'.
For fixed windows, defaults to 'both'. Remaining cases not implemented
for fixed windows.
.. versionadded:: 0.20.0
axis : int or string, default 0
Returns
-------
a Window or Rolling sub-classed for the particular operation
Examples
--------
>>> df = pd.DataFrame({'B': [0, 1, 2, np.nan, 4]})
>>> df
B
0 0.0
1 1.0
2 2.0
3 NaN
4 4.0
Rolling sum with a window length of 2, using the 'triang'
window type.
>>> df.rolling(2, win_type='triang').sum()
B
0 NaN
1 1.0
2 2.5
3 NaN
4 NaN
Rolling sum with a window length of 2, min_periods defaults
to the window length.
>>> df.rolling(2).sum()
B
0 NaN
1 1.0
2 3.0
3 NaN
4 NaN
Same as above, but explicity set the min_periods
>>> df.rolling(2, min_periods=1).sum()
B
0 0.0
1 1.0
2 3.0
3 2.0
4 4.0
A ragged (meaning not-a-regular frequency), time-indexed DataFrame
>>> df = pd.DataFrame({'B': [0, 1, 2, np.nan, 4]},
....: index = [pd.Timestamp('20130101 09:00:00'),
....: pd.Timestamp('20130101 09:00:02'),
....: pd.Timestamp('20130101 09:00:03'),
....: pd.Timestamp('20130101 09:00:05'),
....: pd.Timestamp('20130101 09:00:06')])
>>> df
B
2013-01-01 09:00:00 0.0
2013-01-01 09:00:02 1.0
2013-01-01 09:00:03 2.0
2013-01-01 09:00:05 NaN
2013-01-01 09:00:06 4.0
Contrasting to an integer rolling window, this will roll a variable
length window corresponding to the time period.
The default for min_periods is 1.
>>> df.rolling('2s').sum()
B
2013-01-01 09:00:00 0.0
2013-01-01 09:00:02 1.0
2013-01-01 09:00:03 3.0
2013-01-01 09:00:05 NaN
2013-01-01 09:00:06 4.0
Notes
-----
By default, the result is set to the right edge of the window. This can be
changed to the center of the window by setting ``center=True``.
The `freq` keyword is used to conform time series data to a specified
frequency by resampling the data. This is done with the default parameters
of :meth:`~pandas.Series.resample` (i.e. using the `mean`).
To learn more about the offsets & frequency strings, please see `this link
<http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/timeseries.html#offset-aliases>`__.
The recognized win_types are:
* ``boxcar``
* ``triang``
* ``blackman``
* ``hamming``
* ``bartlett``
* ``parzen``
* ``bohman``
* ``blackmanharris``
* ``nuttall``
* ``barthann``
* ``kaiser`` (needs beta)
* ``gaussian`` (needs std)
* ``general_gaussian`` (needs power, width)
* ``slepian`` (needs width).
If ``win_type=None`` all points are evenly weighted. To learn more about
different window types see `scipy.signal window functions
<https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/signal.html#window-functions>`__.
