dask_expr._collection.DataFrame.cummax

DataFrame.cummax(axis=0, skipna=True)

Return cumulative maximum over a DataFrame or Series axis.

This docstring was copied from pandas.core.frame.DataFrame.cummax.

Some inconsistencies with the Dask version may exist.

Returns a DataFrame or Series of the same size containing the cumulative maximum.

Parameters
axis{0 or ‘index’, 1 or ‘columns’}, default 0

The index or the name of the axis. 0 is equivalent to None or ‘index’. For Series this parameter is unused and defaults to 0.

skipnabool, default True

Exclude NA/null values. If an entire row/column is NA, the result will be NA.

*args, **kwargs

Additional keywords have no effect but might be accepted for compatibility with NumPy.

Returns
Series or DataFrame

Return cumulative maximum of Series or DataFrame.

Examples

Series

>>> s = pd.Series([2, np.nan, 5, -1, 0])  
>>> s  
0    2.0
1    NaN
2    5.0
3   -1.0
4    0.0
dtype: float64

By default, NA values are ignored.

>>> s.cummax()  
0    2.0
1    NaN
2    5.0
3    5.0
4    5.0
dtype: float64

To include NA values in the operation, use skipna=False

>>> s.cummax(skipna=False)  
0    2.0
1    NaN
2    NaN
3    NaN
4    NaN
dtype: float64

DataFrame

>>> df = pd.DataFrame([[2.0, 1.0],  
...                    [3.0, np.nan],
...                    [1.0, 0.0]],
...                   columns=list('AB'))
>>> df  
     A    B
0  2.0  1.0
1  3.0  NaN
2  1.0  0.0

By default, iterates over rows and finds the maximum in each column. This is equivalent to axis=None or axis='index'.

>>> df.cummax()  
     A    B
0  2.0  1.0
1  3.0  NaN
2  3.0  1.0

To iterate over columns and find the maximum in each row, use axis=1

>>> df.cummax(axis=1)  
     A    B
0  2.0  2.0
1  3.0  NaN
2  1.0  1.0
