dask.dataframe.rolling.Rolling.mean

dask.dataframe.rolling.Rolling.mean

Rolling.mean()[source]

Calculate the rolling mean.

This docstring was copied from pandas.core.window.rolling.Rolling.mean.

Some inconsistencies with the Dask version may exist.

Parameters
numeric_onlybool, default False (Not supported in Dask)

Include only float, int, boolean columns.

New in version 1.5.0.

enginestr, default None (Not supported in Dask)
  • '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

    New in version 1.3.0.

engine_kwargsdict, default None (Not supported in Dask)
  • 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}

    New in version 1.3.0.

Returns
Series or DataFrame

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

Examples

The below examples will show rolling mean calculations with window sizes of two and three, respectively.

>>> s = pd.Series([1, 2, 3, 4])  
>>> s.rolling(2).mean()  
0    NaN
1    1.5
2    2.5
3    3.5
dtype: float64
>>> s.rolling(3).mean()  
0    NaN
1    NaN
2    2.0
3    3.0
dtype: float64
