# pandas.DataFrame.aggregate

DataFrame.aggregate(func=None, axis=0, *args, **kwargs)

  Aggregate using one or more operations over the specified axis.

  Parameters
    func function, str, list or dict

      Function to use for aggregating the data. If a function, must either work when passed a DataFrame or when passed to DataFrame.apply.

      Accepted combinations are:

      - function

      - string function name

      - list of functions and/or function names, e.g. `[np.sum, 'mean']`

      - dict of axis labels -> functions, function names or list of such.

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

      If 0 or ‘index’: apply function to each column. If 1 or ‘columns’: apply function to each row.

    *args

      Positional arguments to pass to func.

    **kwargs

      Keyword arguments to pass to func.

  Returns
    scalar, Series or DataFrame

      The return can be:

      - scalar : when Series.agg is called with single function

      - Series : when DataFrame.agg is called with a single function

      - DataFrame : when DataFrame.agg is called with several functions

      Return scalar, Series or DataFrame.

    The aggregation operations are always performed over an axis, either the
    index (default) or the column axis. This behavior is different from
    numpy aggregation functions (mean, median, prod, sum, std,
    var), where the default is to compute the aggregation of the flattened
    array, e.g., `numpy.mean(arr_2d)` as opposed to
    `numpy.mean(arr_2d, axis=0)`.
    agg is an alias for aggregate. Use the alias.

  Notes

  agg is an alias for aggregate. Use the alias.

  Functions that mutate the passed object can produce unexpected behavior or errors and are not supported. See Mutating with User Defined Function (UDF) methods for more details.

  A passed user-defined-function will be passed a Series for evaluation.

  Examples

      >>> df = pd.DataFrame([[1, 2, 3],
      ...                    [4, 5, 6],
      ...                    [7, 8, 9],
      ...                    [np.nan, np.nan, np.nan]],
      ...                   columns=['A', 'B', 'C'])

  Aggregate these functions over the rows.

      >>> df.agg(['sum', 'min'])
              A     B     C
      sum  12.0  15.0  18.0
      min   1.0   2.0   3.0

  Different aggregations per column.

      >>> df.agg({'A' : ['sum', 'min'], 'B' : ['min', 'max']})
              A    B
      sum  12.0  NaN
      min   1.0  2.0
      max   NaN  8.0

  Aggregate different functions over the columns and rename the index of the resulting DataFrame.

      >>> df.agg(x=('A', max), y=('B', 'min'), z=('C', np.mean))
           A    B    C
      x  7.0  NaN  NaN
      y  NaN  2.0  NaN
      z  NaN  NaN  6.0

  Aggregate over the columns.

      >>> df.agg("mean", axis="columns")
      0    2.0
      1    5.0
      2    8.0
      3    NaN
      dtype: float64
