pandas.core.groupby.DataFrameGroupBy.var — pandas 2.2.3 documentation (original) (raw)

DataFrameGroupBy.var(ddof=1, engine=None, engine_kwargs=None, numeric_only=False)[source]#

Compute variance of groups, excluding missing values.

For multiple groupings, the result index will be a MultiIndex.

Parameters:

ddofint, default 1

Degrees of freedom.

enginestr, default None

• '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 settingcompute.use_numba

Added in version 1.4.0.

engine_kwargsdict, default None

• For 'cython' engine, there are no accepted engine_kwargs
• For 'numba' engine, the engine can accept nopython, nogiland parallel dictionary keys. The values must either be True orFalse. The default engine_kwargs for the 'numba' engine is{{'nopython': True, 'nogil': False, 'parallel': False}}

Added in version 1.4.0.

numeric_onlybool, default False

Include only float, int or boolean data.

Added in version 1.5.0.

Changed in version 2.0.0: numeric_only now defaults to False.

Returns:

Series or DataFrame

Variance of values within each group.

Examples

For SeriesGroupBy:

lst = ['a', 'a', 'a', 'b', 'b', 'b'] ser = pd.Series([7, 2, 8, 4, 3, 3], index=lst) ser a 7 a 2 a 8 b 4 b 3 b 3 dtype: int64 ser.groupby(level=0).var() a 10.333333 b 0.333333 dtype: float64

For DataFrameGroupBy:

data = {'a': [1, 3, 5, 7, 7, 8, 3], 'b': [1, 4, 8, 4, 4, 2, 1]} df = pd.DataFrame(data, index=['dog', 'dog', 'dog', ... 'mouse', 'mouse', 'mouse', 'mouse']) df a b dog 1 1 dog 3 4 dog 5 8 mouse 7 4 mouse 7 4 mouse 8 2 mouse 3 1 df.groupby(level=0).var() a b dog 4.000000 12.333333 mouse 4.916667 2.250000
