Merge DataFrame or named Series objects with a database-style join.

The join is done on columns or indexes. If joining columns on
columns, the DataFrame indexes *will be ignored*. Otherwise if joining indexes
on indexes or indexes on a column or columns, the index will be passed on.

Parameters
----------%s
right : DataFrame or named Series
    Object to merge with.
how : {'left', 'right', 'outer', 'inner'}, default 'inner'
    Type of merge to be performed.

    * left: use only keys from left frame, similar to a SQL left outer join;
      preserve key order.
    * right: use only keys from right frame, similar to a SQL right outer join;
      preserve key order.
    * outer: use union of keys from both frames, similar to a SQL full outer
      join; sort keys lexicographically.
    * inner: use intersection of keys from both frames, similar to a SQL inner
      join; preserve the order of the left keys.
on : label or list
    Column or index level names to join on. These must be found in both
    DataFrames. If `on` is None and not merging on indexes then this defaults
    to the intersection of the columns in both DataFrames.
left_on : label or list, or array-like
    Column or index level names to join on in the left DataFrame. Can also
    be an array or list of arrays of the length of the left DataFrame.
    These arrays are treated as if they are columns.
right_on : label or list, or array-like
    Column or index level names to join on in the right DataFrame. Can also
    be an array or list of arrays of the length of the right DataFrame.
    These arrays are treated as if they are columns.
left_index : bool, default False
    Use the index from the left DataFrame as the join key(s). If it is a
    MultiIndex, the number of keys in the other DataFrame (either the index
    or a number of columns) must match the number of levels.
right_index : bool, default False
    Use the index from the right DataFrame as the join key. Same caveats as
    left_index.
sort : bool, default False
    Sort the join keys lexicographically in the result DataFrame. If False,
    the order of the join keys depends on the join type (how keyword).
suffixes : tuple of (str, str), default ('_x', '_y')
    Suffix to apply to overlapping column names in the left and right
    side, respectively. To raise an exception on overlapping columns use
    (False, False).
copy : bool, default True
    If False, avoid copy if possible.
indicator : bool or str, default False
    If True, adds a column to output DataFrame called "_merge" with
    information on the source of each row.
    If string, column with information on source of each row will be added to
    output DataFrame, and column will be named value of string.
    Information column is Categorical-type and takes on a value of "left_only"
    for observations whose merge key only appears in 'left' DataFrame,
    "right_only" for observations whose merge key only appears in 'right'
    DataFrame, and "both" if the observation's merge key is found in both.

validate : str, optional
    If specified, checks if merge is of specified type.

    * "one_to_one" or "1:1": check if merge keys are unique in both
      left and right datasets.
    * "one_to_many" or "1:m": check if merge keys are unique in left
      dataset.
    * "many_to_one" or "m:1": check if merge keys are unique in right
      dataset.
    * "many_to_many" or "m:m": allowed, but does not result in checks.

Returns
-------
DataFrame
    A DataFrame of the two merged objects.

Notes
-----
Support for specifying index levels as the `on`, `left_on`, and
`right_on` parameters was added in version 0.23.0
Support for merging named Series objects was added in version 0.24.0

Examples
--------

Merge df1 and df2 on the lkey and rkey columns. The value columns have
the default suffixes, _x and _y, appended.

>>> df1.merge(df2, left_on='lkey', right_on='rkey')
  lkey  value_x rkey  value_y

Merge DataFrames df1 and df2 with specified left and right suffixes
appended to any overlapping columns.

>>> df1.merge(df2, left_on='lkey', right_on='rkey',

5  baz           3  baz            7

Merge DataFrames df1 and df2, but raise an exception if the DataFrames have
any overlapping columns.

>>> df1.merge(df2, left_on='lkey', right_on='rkey', suffixes=(False, False))

# DataFrame class


class DataFrame(NDFrame):
    """
    Two-dimensional size-mutable, potentially heterogeneous tabular data
    structure with labeled axes (rows and columns). Arithmetic operations
    align on both row and column labels. Can be thought of as a dict-like
    container for Series objects. The primary pandas data structure.

    Parameters
    ----------
    data : ndarray (structured or homogeneous), Iterable, dict, or DataFrame
        Dict can contain Series, arrays, constants, or list-like objects

        .. versionchanged:: 0.23.0
           If data is a dict, column order follows insertion-order for
           Python 3.6 and later.

        .. versionchanged:: 0.25.0
           If data is a list of dicts, column order follows insertion-order
           Python 3.6 and later.

    index : Index or array-like
        Index to use for resulting frame. Will default to RangeIndex if
        no indexing information part of input data and no index provided
    columns : Index or array-like
        Column labels to use for resulting frame. Will default to
        RangeIndex (0, 1, 2, ..., n) if no column labels are provided
    dtype : dtype, default None
        Data type to force. Only a single dtype is allowed. If None, infer
    copy : boolean, default False
        Copy data from inputs. Only affects DataFrame / 2d ndarray input

    See Also
    --------
    DataFrame.from_records : Constructor from tuples, also record arrays.
    DataFrame.from_dict : From dicts of Series, arrays, or dicts.
    DataFrame.from_items : From sequence of (key, value) pairs
        read_csv, pandas.read_table, pandas.read_clipboard.

    Examples
    --------
    Constructing DataFrame from a dictionary.

    >>> df = pd.DataFrame(data=d)
    >>> df
       col1  col2
    0     1     3
    1     2     4

    Notice that the inferred dtype is int64.

    >>> df.dtypes
    col1    int64
    col2    int64
    dtype: object

    To enforce a single dtype:

    >>> df = pd.DataFrame(data=d, dtype=np.int8)
    >>> df.dtypes
    col1    int8
    col2    int8
    dtype: object

        Notes
        -----

        1. Because ``iterrows`` returns a Series for each row,
           it does **not** preserve dtypes across the rows (dtypes are
           preserved across columns for DataFrames). For example,

           >>> df = pd.DataFrame([[1, 1.5]], columns=['int', 'float'])
           >>> row = next(df.iterrows())[1]
           >>> row
           int      1.0
           float    1.5
           Name: 0, dtype: float64
           >>> print(row['int'].dtype)
           float64
           >>> print(df['int'].dtype)
           int64

           To preserve dtypes while iterating over the rows, it is better
           to use :meth:`itertuples` which returns namedtuples of the values
           and which is generally faster than ``iterrows``.

        2. You should **never modify** something you are iterating over.
           This is not guaranteed to work in all cases. Depending on the
           data types, the iterator returns a copy and not a view, and writing
           to it will have no effect.

        Notes
        -----
        The column names will be renamed to positional names if they are
        invalid Python identifiers, repeated, or start with an underscore.
        With a large number of columns (>255), regular tuples are returned.

        Examples

        ...                   index=['dog', 'hawk'])

        Pandas(Index='dog', num_legs=4, num_wings=0)
        Pandas(Index='hawk', num_legs=2, num_wings=2)

        Compute the matrix multiplication between the DataFrame and other.

        This method computes the matrix product between the DataFrame and the
        values of an other Series, DataFrame or a numpy array.

        It can also be called using ``self @ other`` in Python >= 3.5.

        Parameters
        ----------
        other : Series, DataFrame or array-like
            The other object to compute the matrix product with.

        Returns
        -------
        Series or DataFrame
            If other is a Series, return the matrix product between self and
            other as a Serie. If other is a DataFrame or a numpy.array, return
            the matrix product of self and other in a DataFrame of a np.array.

        See Also
        --------
        Series.dot: Similar method for Series.

        Notes
        -----
        The dimensions of DataFrame and other must be compatible in order to
        compute the matrix multiplication. In addition, the column names of
        DataFrame and the index of other must contain the same values, as they
        will be aligned prior to the multiplication.

        The dot method for Series computes the inner product, instead of the
        matrix product here.

        Examples
        --------
        Here we multiply a DataFrame with a Series.

        >>> df = pd.DataFrame([[0, 1, -2, -1], [1, 1, 1, 1]])
        >>> s = pd.Series([1, 1, 2, 1])
        >>> df.dot(s)
        0    -4
        1     5
        dtype: int64

        Here we multiply a DataFrame with another DataFrame.

        >>> other = pd.DataFrame([[0, 1], [1, 2], [-1, -1], [2, 0]])
        >>> df.dot(other)
            0   1
        0   1   4
        1   2   2

        Note that the dot method give the same result as @

        >>> df @ other
            0   1
        0   1   4
        1   2   2

        The dot method works also if other is an np.array.

        >>> arr = np.array([[0, 1], [1, 2], [-1, -1], [2, 0]])
        >>> df.dot(arr)
            0   1
        0   1   4
        1   2   2

        Note how shuffling of the objects does not change the result.

        Construct DataFrame from dict of array-like or dicts.

        Creates DataFrame object from dictionary by columns or by index
        allowing dtype specification.

        Parameters
        ----------
        data : dict
            Of the form {field : array-like} or {field : dict}.
        orient : {'columns', 'index'}, default 'columns'
            The "orientation" of the data. If the keys of the passed dict
            should be the columns of the resulting DataFrame, pass 'columns'
            (default). Otherwise if the keys should be rows, pass 'index'.
        dtype : dtype, default None
            Data type to force, otherwise infer.
        columns : list, default None
            Column labels to use when ``orient='index'``. Raises a ValueError
            if used with ``orient='columns'``.

        DataFrame : DataFrame object creation using constructor.

        Examples
        --------
        By default the keys of the dict become the DataFrame columns:

        Convert the DataFrame to a NumPy array.

        .. versionadded:: 0.24.0

        By default, the dtype of the returned array will be the common NumPy
        dtype of all types in the DataFrame. For example, if the dtypes are
        ``float16`` and ``float32``, the results dtype will be ``float32``.
        This may require copying data and coercing values, which may be
        expensive.

        Parameters
        ----------
        dtype : str or numpy.dtype, optional
            The dtype to pass to :meth:`numpy.asarray`.
        copy : bool, default False
            Whether to ensure that the returned value is a not a view on
            another array. Note that ``copy=False`` does not *ensure* that
            ``to_numpy()`` is no-copy. Rather, ``copy=True`` ensure that
            a copy is made, even if not strictly necessary.

        Returns
        -------
        numpy.recarray
            NumPy ndarray with the DataFrame labels as fields and each row
            of the DataFrame as entries.

        See Also
        --------
        DataFrame.from_records: Convert structured or record ndarray
            to DataFrame.
        numpy.recarray: An ndarray that allows field access using
            attributes, analogous to typed columns in a
            spreadsheet.

        Examples
        --------
        >>> df = pd.DataFrame({'A': [1, 2], 'B': [0.5, 0.75]},
        ...                   index=['a', 'b'])

                  dtype=[('index', 'O'), ('A', '<i8'), ('B', '<f8')])

        If the DataFrame index has no label then the recarray field name
        is set to 'index'. If the index has a label then this is used as the
        field name:

        >>> df.index = df.index.rename("I")

        >>> df.to_records(index=False)
        rec.array([(1, 0.5 ), (2, 0.75)],
                  dtype=[('A', '<i8'), ('B', '<f8')])

        Data types can be specified for the columns:

        Export DataFrame object to Stata dta format.

        Writes the DataFrame to a Stata dataset file.
        "dta" files contain a Stata dataset.

        Parameters
        ----------
        fname : str, buffer or path object
            String, path object (pathlib.Path or py._path.local.LocalPath) or
            object implementing a binary write() function. If using a buffer
            then the buffer will not be automatically closed after the file
            data has been written.
        convert_dates : dict
            Dictionary mapping columns containing datetime types to stata
            internal format to use when writing the dates. Options are 'tc',
            'td', 'tm', 'tw', 'th', 'tq', 'ty'. Column can be either an integer
            or a name. Datetime columns that do not have a conversion type
            specified will be converted to 'tc'. Raises NotImplementedError if
            a datetime column has timezone information.
        write_index : bool
            Write the index to Stata dataset.
        encoding : str
            Default is latin-1. Unicode is not supported.
        byteorder : str
            Can be ">", "<", "little", or "big". default is `sys.byteorder`.
        time_stamp : datetime
            A datetime to use as file creation date.  Default is the current
            time.
        data_label : str, optional
            A label for the data set.  Must be 80 characters or smaller.
        variable_labels : dict
            Dictionary containing columns as keys and variable labels as
            values. Each label must be 80 characters or smaller.
        version : {114, 117}, default 114
            Version to use in the output dta file.  Version 114 can be used
            read by Stata 10 and later.  Version 117 can be read by Stata 13
            or later. Version 114 limits string variables to 244 characters or
            fewer while 117 allows strings with lengths up to 2,000,000
            characters.

            .. versionadded:: 0.23.0

        convert_strl : list, optional
            List of column names to convert to string columns to Stata StrL
            format. Only available if version is 117.  Storing strings in the
            StrL format can produce smaller dta files if strings have more than
            8 characters and values are repeated.

            .. versionadded:: 0.23.0

        Raises
        ------
        NotImplementedError
            * If datetimes contain timezone information
            * Column dtype is not representable in Stata
        ValueError
            * Columns listed in convert_dates are neither datetime64[ns]

        Print a concise summary of a DataFrame.

        This method prints information about a DataFrame including
        the index dtype and column dtypes, non-null values and memory usage.

        Parameters
        ----------
        verbose : bool, optional
            Whether to print the full summary. By default, the setting in
            ``pandas.options.display.max_info_columns`` is followed.
        buf : writable buffer, defaults to sys.stdout
            Where to send the output. By default, the output is printed to
            sys.stdout. Pass a writable buffer if you need to further process
            the output.
        max_cols : int, optional
            When to switch from the verbose to the truncated output. If the
            DataFrame has more than `max_cols` columns, the truncated output
            is used. By default, the setting in
            ``pandas.options.display.max_info_columns`` is used.
        memory_usage : bool, str, optional
            Specifies whether total memory usage of the DataFrame
            elements (including the index) should be displayed. By default,
            this follows the ``pandas.options.display.memory_usage`` setting.

            True always show memory usage. False never shows memory usage.
            A value of 'deep' is equivalent to "True with deep introspection".
            Memory usage is shown in human-readable units (base-2
            representation). Without deep introspection a memory estimation is
            made based in column dtype and number of rows assuming values
            consume the same memory amount for corresponding dtypes. With deep
            memory introspection, a real memory usage calculation is performed
            at the cost of computational resources.
        null_counts : bool, optional
            Whether to show the non-null counts. By default, this is shown
            only if the frame is smaller than
            ``pandas.options.display.max_info_rows`` and
            ``pandas.options.display.max_info_columns``. A value of True always
            shows the counts, and False never shows the counts.

        Pipe output of DataFrame.info to buffer instead of sys.stdout, get

        Return the memory usage of each column in bytes.

        The memory usage can optionally include the contribution of
        the index and elements of `object` dtype.

        This value is displayed in `DataFrame.info` by default. This can be
        suppressed by setting ``pandas.options.display.memory_usage`` to False.

        Parameters
        ----------
        index : bool, default True
            Specifies whether to include the memory usage of the DataFrame's
            index in returned Series. If ``index=True``, the memory usage of
            the index is the first item in the output.
        deep : bool, default False
            If True, introspect the data deeply by interrogating
            `object` dtypes for system-level memory consumption, and include
            it in the returned values.

        Returns
        -------
        Series
            A Series whose index is the original column names and whose values
            is the memory usage of each column in bytes.

        See Also
        --------
        numpy.ndarray.nbytes : Total bytes consumed by the elements of an
            ndarray.
        Series.memory_usage : Bytes consumed by a Series.
        Categorical : Memory-efficient array for string values with

        Transpose index and columns.

        Reflect the DataFrame over its main diagonal by writing rows as columns
        and vice-versa. The property :attr:`.T` is an accessor to the method
        :meth:`transpose`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        copy : bool, default False
            If True, the underlying data is copied. Otherwise (default), no
            copy is made if possible.
        *args, **kwargs
            Additional keywords have no effect but might be accepted for
            compatibility with numpy.

        Returns
        -------
        DataFrame
            The transposed DataFrame.

        See Also
        --------
        numpy.transpose : Permute the dimensions of a given array.

        Notes
        -----
        Transposing a DataFrame with mixed dtypes will result in a homogeneous
        DataFrame with the `object` dtype. In such a case, a copy of the data
        is always made.

        Examples
        --------
        **Square DataFrame with homogeneous dtype**

        >>> d1 = {'col1': [1, 2], 'col2': [3, 4]}
        >>> df1 = pd.DataFrame(data=d1)
        >>> df1
           col1  col2
        0     1     3
        1     2     4

        >>> df1_transposed = df1.T # or df1.transpose()
        >>> df1_transposed
              0  1
        col1  1  2
        col2  3  4

        When the dtype is homogeneous in the original DataFrame, we get a
        transposed DataFrame with the same dtype:

        >>> df1.dtypes
        col1    int64
        col2    int64
        dtype: object
        >>> df1_transposed.dtypes
        0    int64
        1    int64
        dtype: object

        **Non-square DataFrame with mixed dtypes**

        >>> d2 = {'name': ['Alice', 'Bob'],
        ...       'score': [9.5, 8],
        ...       'employed': [False, True],
        ...       'kids': [0, 0]}
        >>> df2 = pd.DataFrame(data=d2)

        0  Alice    9.5     False     0
        1    Bob    8.0      True     0

        >>> df2_transposed = df2.T # or df2.transpose()
        >>> df2_transposed
                      0     1

        employed  False  True
        kids          0     0

        When the DataFrame has mixed dtypes, we get a transposed DataFrame with
        the `object` dtype:

        >>> df2.dtypes

        score       float64

    def query(self, expr, inplace=False, **kwargs):
        """
        Query the columns of a DataFrame with a boolean expression.

        Parameters
        ----------
        expr : str
            The query string to evaluate.  You can refer to variables
            in the environment by prefixing them with an '@' character like
            ``@a + b``.

            .. versionadded:: 0.25.0

            You can refer to column names that contain spaces by surrounding
            them in backticks.

            For example, if one of your columns is called ``a a`` and you want
            to sum it with ``b``, your query should be ```a a` + b``.

        inplace : bool
            Whether the query should modify the data in place or return
            a modified copy.
        **kwargs
            See the documentation for :func:`eval` for complete details
            on the keyword arguments accepted by :meth:`DataFrame.query`.

        Returns
        -------
        DataFrame
            DataFrame resulting from the provided query expression.

        See Also
        --------
        eval : Evaluate a string describing operations on
            DataFrame columns.
        DataFrame.eval : Evaluate a string describing operations on
            DataFrame columns.

        Notes
        -----
        The result of the evaluation of this expression is first passed to
        :attr:`DataFrame.loc` and if that fails because of a
        multidimensional key (e.g., a DataFrame) then the result will be passed
        to :meth:`DataFrame.__getitem__`.

        This method uses the top-level :func:`eval` function to
        evaluate the passed query.

        The :meth:`~pandas.DataFrame.query` method uses a slightly
        modified Python syntax by default. For example, the ``&`` and ``|``
        (bitwise) operators have the precedence of their boolean cousins,
        :keyword:`and` and :keyword:`or`. This *is* syntactically valid Python,
        however the semantics are different.

        You can change the semantics of the expression by passing the keyword
        argument ``parser='python'``. This enforces the same semantics as
        evaluation in Python space. Likewise, you can pass ``engine='python'``
        to evaluate an expression using Python itself as a backend. This is not
        recommended as it is inefficient compared to using ``numexpr`` as the
        engine.

        The :attr:`DataFrame.index` and
        :attr:`DataFrame.columns` attributes of the
        :class:`~pandas.DataFrame` instance are placed in the query namespace
        by default, which allows you to treat both the index and columns of the
        frame as a column in the frame.
        The identifier ``index`` is used for the frame index; you can also
        use the name of the index to identify it in a query. Please note that
        Python keywords may not be used as identifiers.

        For further details and examples see the ``query`` documentation in
        :ref:`indexing <indexing.query>`.

        Examples
        --------
        >>> df = pd.DataFrame({'A': range(1, 6),
        ...                    'B': range(10, 0, -2),
        ...                    'C C': range(10, 5, -1)})

        >>> df[df.A > df.B]
           A  B  C C
        4  5  2    6

        For columns with spaces in their name, you can use backtick quoting.

        >>> df.query('B == `C C`')
           A   B  C C
        0  1  10   10

        Assign new columns to a DataFrame.

        Returns a new object with all original columns in addition to new ones.
        Existing columns that are re-assigned will be overwritten.

        Parameters
        ----------
        **kwargs : dict of {str: callable or Series}
            The column names are keywords. If the values are
            callable, they are computed on the DataFrame and
            assigned to the new columns. The callable must not
            change input DataFrame (though pandas doesn't check it).
            If the values are not callable, (e.g. a Series, scalar, or array),
            they are simply assigned.

        Returns
        -------
        DataFrame
            A new DataFrame with the new columns in addition to
            all the existing columns.

        Notes
        -----
        Assigning multiple columns within the same ``assign`` is possible.
        For Python 3.6 and above, later items in '\*\*kwargs' may refer to
        newly created or modified columns in 'df'; items are computed and
        assigned into 'df' in order.  For Python 3.5 and below, the order of
        keyword arguments is not specified, you cannot refer to newly created
        or modified columns. All items are computed first, and then assigned
        in alphabetical order.

        .. versionchanged:: 0.23.0

           Keyword argument order is maintained for Python 3.6 and later.

        Examples
        --------
        >>> df = pd.DataFrame({'temp_c': [17.0, 25.0]},
        ...                   index=['Portland', 'Berkeley'])
        >>> df
                  temp_c
        Portland    17.0
        Berkeley    25.0

        Where the value is a callable, evaluated on `df`:

        >>> df.assign(temp_f=lambda x: x.temp_c * 9 / 5 + 32)
                  temp_c  temp_f
        Portland    17.0    62.6
        Berkeley    25.0    77.0

        Alternatively, the same behavior can be achieved by directly
        referencing an existing Series or sequence:

        >>> df.assign(temp_f=df['temp_c'] * 9 / 5 + 32)
                  temp_c  temp_f
        Portland    17.0    62.6
        Berkeley    25.0    77.0

        In Python 3.6+, you can create multiple columns within the same assign
        where one of the columns depends on another one defined within the same
        assign:

        >>> df.assign(temp_f=lambda x: x['temp_c'] * 9 / 5 + 32,
        ...           temp_k=lambda x: (x['temp_f'] +  459.67) * 5 / 9)
                  temp_c  temp_f  temp_k
        Portland    17.0    62.6  290.15

        Drop specified labels from rows or columns.

        Remove rows or columns by specifying label names and corresponding
        axis, or by specifying directly index or column names. When using a
        multi-index, labels on different levels can be removed by specifying
        the level.

        Parameters
        ----------
        labels : single label or list-like
            Index or column labels to drop.
        axis : {0 or 'index', 1 or 'columns'}, default 0
            Whether to drop labels from the index (0 or 'index') or
            columns (1 or 'columns').
        index : single label or list-like
            Alternative to specifying axis (``labels, axis=0``
            is equivalent to ``index=labels``).

            .. versionadded:: 0.21.0
        columns : single label or list-like
            Alternative to specifying axis (``labels, axis=1``
            is equivalent to ``columns=labels``).

            .. versionadded:: 0.21.0
        level : int or level name, optional
            For MultiIndex, level from which the labels will be removed.
        inplace : bool, default False
            If True, do operation inplace and return None.
        errors : {'ignore', 'raise'}, default 'raise'
            If 'ignore', suppress error and only existing labels are
            dropped.

        Returns
        -------
        DataFrame
            DataFrame without the removed index or column labels.

        Raises
        ------
        KeyError
            If any of the labels is not found in the selected axis.

        See Also
        --------
        DataFrame.loc : Label-location based indexer for selection by label.
        DataFrame.dropna : Return DataFrame with labels on given axis omitted
            where (all or any) data are missing.
        DataFrame.drop_duplicates : Return DataFrame with duplicate rows
            removed, optionally only considering certain columns.
        Series.drop : Return Series with specified index labels removed.

        See the :ref:`user guide <basics.rename>` for more.

        Parameters
        ----------
        mapper : dict-like or function
            Dict-like or functions transformations to apply to
            that axis' values. Use either ``mapper`` and ``axis`` to

        index : dict-like or function
            Alternative to specifying axis (``mapper, axis=0``
            is equivalent to ``index=mapper``).
        columns : dict-like or function
            Alternative to specifying axis (``mapper, axis=1``
            is equivalent to ``columns=mapper``).

            ('index', 'columns') or number (0, 1). The default is 'index'.
        copy : bool, default True
            Also copy underlying data.
        inplace : bool, default False
            Whether to return a new DataFrame. If True then value of copy is
            ignored.
        level : int or level name, default None
            In case of a MultiIndex, only rename labels in the specified
            level.
        errors : {'ignore', 'raise'}, default 'ignore'
            If 'raise', raise a `KeyError` when a dict-like `mapper`, `index`,
            or `columns` contains labels that are not present in the Index
            being transformed.
            If 'ignore', existing keys will be renamed and extra keys will be
            ignored.

        Returns
        -------
        DataFrame
            DataFrame with the renamed axis labels.

        Raises
        ------
        KeyError
            If any of the labels is not found in the selected axis and
            "errors='raise'".

        ``DataFrame.rename`` supports two calling conventions

        * ``(index=index_mapper, columns=columns_mapper, ...)``
        * ``(mapper, axis={'index', 'columns'}, ...)``

        We *highly* recommend using keyword arguments to clarify your
        intent.

        Rename columns using a mapping:

        >>> df = pd.DataFrame({"A": [1, 2, 3], "B": [4, 5, 6]})
        >>> df.rename(columns={"A": "a", "B": "c"})

        0  1  4
        1  2  5
        2  3  6

        Rename index using a mapping:

        >>> df.rename(index={0: "x", 1: "y", 2: "z"})
           A  B
        x  1  4
        y  2  5
        z  3  6

        Cast index labels to a different type:

        >>> df.index
        RangeIndex(start=0, stop=3, step=1)
        >>> df.rename(index=str).index

            instances of :class:`~collections.abc.Iterator`.
        drop : bool, default True
            Delete columns to be used as the new index.
        append : bool, default False
            Whether to append columns to existing index.
        inplace : bool, default False
            Modify the DataFrame in place (do not create a new object).
        verify_integrity : bool, default False
            Check the new index for duplicates. Otherwise defer the check until

        Reset the index, or a level of it.

        Reset the index of the DataFrame, and use the default one instead.
        If the DataFrame has a MultiIndex, this method can remove one or more
        levels.

        Parameters
        ----------
        level : int, str, tuple, or list, default None
            Only remove the given levels from the index. Removes all levels by
            default.
        drop : bool, default False
            Do not try to insert index into dataframe columns. This resets
            the index to the default integer index.
        inplace : bool, default False
            Modify the DataFrame in place (do not create a new object).
        col_level : int or str, default 0
            If the columns have multiple levels, determines which level the
            labels are inserted into. By default it is inserted into the first
            level.
        col_fill : object, default ''
            If the columns have multiple levels, determines how the other
            levels are named. If None then the index name is repeated.

        Returns
        -------
        DataFrame
            DataFrame with the new index.

        See Also
        --------
        DataFrame.set_index : Opposite of reset_index.
        DataFrame.reindex : Change to new indices or expand indices.
        DataFrame.reindex_like : Change to same indices as other DataFrame.

        Examples
        --------
        >>> df = pd.DataFrame([('bird', 389.0),
        ...                    ('bird', 24.0),
        ...                    ('mammal', 80.5),
        ...                    ('mammal', np.nan)],
        ...                   index=['falcon', 'parrot', 'lion', 'monkey'],
        ...                   columns=('class', 'max_speed'))
        >>> df
                 class  max_speed
        falcon    bird      389.0
        parrot    bird       24.0
        lion    mammal       80.5
        monkey  mammal        NaN

        When we reset the index, the old index is added as a column, and a
        new sequential index is used:

        >>> df.reset_index()
            index   class  max_speed
        0  falcon    bird      389.0
        1  parrot    bird       24.0
        2    lion  mammal       80.5
        3  monkey  mammal        NaN

        We can use the `drop` parameter to avoid the old index being added as
        a column:

        >>> df.reset_index(drop=True)
            class  max_speed
        0    bird      389.0
        1    bird       24.0
        2  mammal       80.5
        3  mammal        NaN

        You can also use `reset_index` with `MultiIndex`.

        >>> index = pd.MultiIndex.from_tuples([('bird', 'falcon'),
        ...                                    ('bird', 'parrot'),
        ...                                    ('mammal', 'lion'),
        ...                                    ('mammal', 'monkey')],
        ...                                   names=['class', 'name'])
        >>> columns = pd.MultiIndex.from_tuples([('speed', 'max'),
        ...                                      ('species', 'type')])
        >>> df = pd.DataFrame([(389.0, 'fly'),
        ...                    ( 24.0, 'fly'),
        ...                    ( 80.5, 'run'),
        ...                    (np.nan, 'jump')],
        ...                   index=index,
        ...                   columns=columns)
        >>> df
                       speed species
                         max    type
        class  name
        bird   falcon  389.0     fly
               parrot   24.0     fly
        mammal lion     80.5     run
               monkey    NaN    jump

        If the index has multiple levels, we can reset a subset of them:

        >>> df.reset_index(level='class')
                 class  speed species
                          max    type
        name
        falcon    bird  389.0     fly
        parrot    bird   24.0     fly
        lion    mammal   80.5     run
        monkey  mammal    NaN    jump

        If we are not dropping the index, by default, it is placed in the top
        level. We can place it in another level:

        >>> df.reset_index(level='class', col_level=1)
                        speed species
                 class    max    type
        name
        falcon    bird  389.0     fly
        parrot    bird   24.0     fly
        lion    mammal   80.5     run
        monkey  mammal    NaN    jump

        When the index is inserted under another level, we can specify under
        which one with the parameter `col_fill`:

        >>> df.reset_index(level='class', col_level=1, col_fill='species')
                      species  speed species
                        class    max    type
        name
        falcon           bird  389.0     fly
        parrot           bird   24.0     fly
        lion           mammal   80.5     run
        monkey         mammal    NaN    jump

        If we specify a nonexistent level for `col_fill`, it is created:

        >>> df.reset_index(level='class', col_level=1, col_fill='genus')
                        genus  speed species
                        class    max    type
        name
        falcon           bird  389.0     fly
        parrot           bird   24.0     fly
        lion           mammal   80.5     run
        monkey         mammal    NaN    jump

               Pass tuple or list to drop on multiple axes.
               Only a single axis is allowed.

        how : {'any', 'all'}, default 'any'
            Determine if row or column is removed from DataFrame, when we have
            at least one NA or all NA.

            * 'any' : If any NA values are present, drop that row or column.

        In the following example, we will use ``nlargest`` to select the three
        rows having the largest values in column "population".

        >>> df.nlargest(3, 'population')
                population      GDP alpha-2

        Malta       434000    12011      MT

        When using ``keep='last'``, ties are resolved in reverse order:

        >>> df.nlargest(3, 'population', keep='last')
                population      GDP alpha-2
        France    65000000  2583560      FR
        Italy     59000000  1937894      IT
        Brunei      434000    12128      BN

        When using ``keep='all'``, all duplicate items are maintained:

        >>> df.nlargest(3, 'population', keep='all')
                  population      GDP alpha-2
        France      65000000  2583560      FR
        Italy       59000000  1937894      IT
        Malta         434000    12011      MT

        Brunei        434000    12128      BN

        To order by the largest values in column "population" and then "GDP",
        we can specify multiple columns like in the next example.

        >>> df.nlargest(3, ['population', 'GDP'])
                population      GDP alpha-2

        In the following example, we will use ``nsmallest`` to select the
        three rows having the smallest values in column "a".

        >>> df.nsmallest(3, 'population')
                  population  GDP alpha-2

        When using ``keep='last'``, ties are resolved in reverse order:

        >>> df.nsmallest(3, 'population', keep='last')
                  population  GDP alpha-2
        Anguilla       11300  311      AI
        Tuvalu         11300   38      TV
        Nauru          11300  182      NR

        When using ``keep='all'``, all duplicate items are maintained:

        >>> df.nsmallest(3, 'population', keep='all')
                  population  GDP alpha-2
        Nauru          11300  182      NR

        To order by the largest values in column "a" and then "c", we can
        specify multiple columns like in the next example.

        >>> df.nsmallest(3, ['population', 'GDP'])

        resulting DataFrame will be the union of the two.

        Parameters

            The DataFrame to merge column-wise.
        func : function
            Function that takes two series as inputs and return a Series or a

        --------
        DataFrame.combine_first : Combine two DataFrame objects and default to
            non-null values in frame calling the method.

        Examples
        --------
        Combine using a simple function that chooses the smaller column.

        >>> df1 = pd.DataFrame({'A': [0, 0], 'B': [4, 4]})
        >>> df2 = pd.DataFrame({'A': [1, 1], 'B': [3, 3]})

           A  B
        0  0  3
        1  0  3

        Example using a true element-wise combine function.

        >>> df1 = pd.DataFrame({'A': [5, 0], 'B': [2, 4]})
        >>> df2 = pd.DataFrame({'A': [1, 1], 'B': [3, 3]})
        >>> df1.combine(df2, np.minimum)
           A  B
        0  1  2
        1  0  3

        Using `fill_value` fills Nones prior to passing the column to the
        merge function.

        >>> df1 = pd.DataFrame({'A': [0, 0], 'B': [None, 4]})
        >>> df2 = pd.DataFrame({'A': [1, 1], 'B': [3, 3]})

           A    B
        0  0 -5.0
        1  0  4.0

        However, if the same element in both dataframes is None, that None
        is preserved

        >>> df1 = pd.DataFrame({'A': [0, 0], 'B': [None, 4]})
        >>> df2 = pd.DataFrame({'A': [1, 1], 'B': [None, 3]})
        >>> df1.combine(df2, take_smaller, fill_value=-5)
            A    B
        0  0 -5.0
        1  0  3.0

        Example that demonstrates the use of `overwrite` and behavior when
        the axis differ between the dataframes.

        >>> df1 = pd.DataFrame({'A': [0, 0], 'B': [4, 4]})
        >>> df2 = pd.DataFrame({'B': [3, 3], 'C': [-10, 1], }, index=[1, 2])
        >>> df1.combine(df2, take_smaller)
             A    B     C
        0  NaN  NaN   NaN
        1  NaN  3.0 -10.0
        2  NaN  3.0   1.0

        >>> df1.combine(df2, take_smaller, overwrite=False)
             A    B     C
        0  0.0  NaN   NaN
        1  0.0  3.0 -10.0
        2  NaN  3.0   1.0

        Return reshaped DataFrame organized by given index / column values.

        Reshape data (produce a "pivot" table) based on column values. Uses
        unique values from specified `index` / `columns` to form axes of the
        resulting DataFrame. This function does not support data
        aggregation, multiple values will result in a MultiIndex in the
        columns. See the :ref:`User Guide <reshaping>` for more on reshaping.

        Parameters
        ----------%s
        index : string or object, optional
            Column to use to make new frame's index. If None, uses

        foo one    4.0    1.0
            two    NaN    6.0

        We can also fill missing values using the `fill_value` parameter.

            two      7      6
        foo one      4      1
            two      0      6

        The next example aggregates by taking the mean across multiple columns.

        >>> table = pd.pivot_table(df, values=['D', 'E'], index=['A', 'C'],
        ...                     aggfunc={'D': np.mean,

        value column.

        Notes
        -----
        The function is named by analogy with a collection of books
        being reorganized from being side by side on a horizontal
        position (the columns of the dataframe) to being stacked
        vertically on top of each other (in the index of the
        dataframe).

        Examples
        --------
        **Single level columns**

        >>> df_single_level_cols = pd.DataFrame([[0, 1], [2, 3]],
        ...                                     index=['cat', 'dog'],
        ...                                     columns=['weight', 'height'])

        Stacking a dataframe with a single level column axis returns a Series:

        >>> df_single_level_cols
             weight height
        cat       0      1
        dog       2      3
        >>> df_single_level_cols.stack()
        cat  weight    0
             height    1
        dog  weight    2
             height    3
        dtype: int64

        **Multi level columns: simple case**

        >>> multicol1 = pd.MultiIndex.from_tuples([('weight', 'kg'),
        ...                                        ('weight', 'pounds')])
        >>> df_multi_level_cols1 = pd.DataFrame([[1, 2], [2, 4]],
        ...                                     index=['cat', 'dog'],
        ...                                     columns=multicol1)

        Stacking a dataframe with a multi-level column axis:

        >>> df_multi_level_cols1
             weight
                 kg    pounds
        cat       1        2
        dog       2        4
        >>> df_multi_level_cols1.stack()
                    weight
        cat kg           1
            pounds       2
        dog kg           2
            pounds       4

        **Missing values**

        >>> multicol2 = pd.MultiIndex.from_tuples([('weight', 'kg'),
        ...                                        ('height', 'm')])
        >>> df_multi_level_cols2 = pd.DataFrame([[1.0, 2.0], [3.0, 4.0]],
        ...                                     index=['cat', 'dog'],
        ...                                     columns=multicol2)

        It is common to have missing values when stacking a dataframe
        with multi-level columns, as the stacked dataframe typically
        has more values than the original dataframe. Missing values
        are filled with NaNs:

        >>> df_multi_level_cols2
            weight height
                kg      m
        cat    1.0    2.0
        dog    3.0    4.0
        >>> df_multi_level_cols2.stack()
                height  weight
        cat kg     NaN     1.0
            m      2.0     NaN
        dog kg     NaN     3.0
            m      4.0     NaN

        **Prescribing the level(s) to be stacked**

        The first parameter controls which level or levels are stacked:

        >>> df_multi_level_cols2.stack(0)
                     kg    m
        cat height  NaN  2.0
            weight  1.0  NaN
        dog height  NaN  4.0
            weight  3.0  NaN
        >>> df_multi_level_cols2.stack([0, 1])
        cat  height  m     2.0
             weight  kg    1.0
        dog  height  m     4.0
             weight  kg    3.0
        dtype: float64

        **Dropping missing values**

        >>> df_multi_level_cols3 = pd.DataFrame([[None, 1.0], [2.0, 3.0]],
        ...                                     index=['cat', 'dog'],
        ...                                     columns=multicol2)

        Note that rows where all values are missing are dropped by
        default but this behaviour can be controlled via the dropna
        keyword parameter:

        >>> df_multi_level_cols3
            weight height
                kg      m
        cat    NaN    1.0
        dog    2.0    3.0
        >>> df_multi_level_cols3.stack(dropna=False)
                height  weight
        cat kg     NaN     NaN
            m      1.0     NaN
        dog kg     NaN     2.0
            m      3.0     NaN
        >>> df_multi_level_cols3.stack(dropna=True)
                height  weight
        cat m      1.0     NaN

    Unpivot a DataFrame from wide format to long format, optionally

    This function is useful to massage a DataFrame into a format where one
    or more columns are identifier variables (`id_vars`), while all other
    columns, considered measured variables (`value_vars`), are "unpivoted" to
    the row axis, leaving just two non-identifier columns, 'variable' and
    'value'.
    %(versionadded)s
    Parameters
    ----------
    frame : DataFrame
    id_vars : tuple, list, or ndarray, optional
        Column(s) to use as identifier variables.
    value_vars : tuple, list, or ndarray, optional
        Column(s) to unpivot. If not specified, uses all columns that
        are not set as `id_vars`.
    var_name : scalar
        Name to use for the 'variable' column. If None it uses
        ``frame.columns.name`` or 'variable'.
    value_name : scalar, default 'value'
        Name to use for the 'value' column.
    col_level : int or string, optional
        If columns are a MultiIndex then use this level to melt.

        Apply a function along an axis of the DataFrame.

        Objects passed to the function are Series objects whose index is
        either the DataFrame's index (``axis=0``) or the DataFrame's columns
        (``axis=1``). By default (``result_type=None``), the final return type
        is inferred from the return type of the applied function. Otherwise,
        it depends on the `result_type` argument.

        Parameters
        ----------
        func : function
            Function to apply to each column or row.
        axis : {0 or 'index', 1 or 'columns'}, default 0
            Axis along which the function is applied:

            * 0 or 'index': apply function to each column.
            * 1 or 'columns': apply function to each row.
        broadcast : bool, optional
            Only relevant for aggregation functions:

            * ``False`` or ``None`` : returns a Series whose length is the
              length of the index or the number of columns (based on the
              `axis` parameter)
            * ``True`` : results will be broadcast to the original shape
              of the frame, the original index and columns will be retained.

            .. deprecated:: 0.23.0
               This argument will be removed in a future version, replaced
               by result_type='broadcast'.

        raw : bool, default False
            * ``False`` : passes each row or column as a Series to the
              function.
            * ``True`` : the passed function will receive ndarray objects
              instead.
              If you are just applying a NumPy reduction function this will
              achieve much better performance.
        reduce : bool or None, default None
            Try to apply reduction procedures. If the DataFrame is empty,
            `apply` will use `reduce` to determine whether the result
            should be a Series or a DataFrame. If ``reduce=None`` (the
            default), `apply`'s return value will be guessed by calling
            `func` on an empty Series
            (note: while guessing, exceptions raised by `func` will be
            ignored).
            If ``reduce=True`` a Series will always be returned, and if
            ``reduce=False`` a DataFrame will always be returned.

            .. deprecated:: 0.23.0
               This argument will be removed in a future version, replaced
               by ``result_type='reduce'``.

        result_type : {'expand', 'reduce', 'broadcast', None}, default None
            These only act when ``axis=1`` (columns):

            * 'expand' : list-like results will be turned into columns.
            * 'reduce' : returns a Series if possible rather than expanding
              list-like results. This is the opposite of 'expand'.
            * 'broadcast' : results will be broadcast to the original shape
              of the DataFrame, the original index and columns will be
              retained.

            The default behaviour (None) depends on the return value of the
            applied function: list-like results will be returned as a Series
            of those. However if the apply function returns a Series these
            are expanded to columns.

            .. versionadded:: 0.23.0

        args : tuple
            Positional arguments to pass to `func` in addition to the
            array/series.
        **kwds
            Additional keyword arguments to pass as keywords arguments to
            `func`.

        Returns
        -------
        Series or DataFrame
            Result of applying ``func`` along the given axis of the
            DataFrame.

        See Also
        --------
        DataFrame.applymap: For elementwise operations.
        DataFrame.aggregate: Only perform aggregating type operations.
        DataFrame.transform: Only perform transforming type operations.

        Notes
        -----
        In the current implementation apply calls `func` twice on the
        first column/row to decide whether it can take a fast or slow
        code path. This can lead to unexpected behavior if `func` has
        side-effects, as they will take effect twice for the first
        column/row.

        Examples
        --------

        >>> df = pd.DataFrame([[4, 9]] * 3, columns=['A', 'B'])
        >>> df
           A  B
        0  4  9
        1  4  9
        2  4  9

        Using a numpy universal function (in this case the same as
        ``np.sqrt(df)``):

        >>> df.apply(np.sqrt)
             A    B
        0  2.0  3.0
        1  2.0  3.0
        2  2.0  3.0

        Using a reducing function on either axis

        >>> df.apply(np.sum, axis=0)
        A    12
        B    27
        dtype: int64

        >>> df.apply(np.sum, axis=1)
        0    13
        1    13
        2    13
        dtype: int64

        Returning a list-like will result in a Series

        >>> df.apply(lambda x: [1, 2], axis=1)
        0    [1, 2]
        1    [1, 2]
        2    [1, 2]
        dtype: object

        Passing result_type='expand' will expand list-like results
        to columns of a Dataframe

        >>> df.apply(lambda x: [1, 2], axis=1, result_type='expand')
           0  1
        0  1  2
        1  1  2
        2  1  2

        Returning a Series inside the function is similar to passing
        ``result_type='expand'``. The resulting column names
        will be the Series index.

        >>> df.apply(lambda x: pd.Series([1, 2], index=['foo', 'bar']), axis=1)
           foo  bar
        0    1    2
        1    1    2
        2    1    2

        Passing ``result_type='broadcast'`` will ensure the same shape
        result, whether list-like or scalar is returned by the function,
        and broadcast it along the axis. The resulting column names will
        be the originals.

        >>> df.apply(lambda x: [1, 2], axis=1, result_type='broadcast')
           A  B
        0  1  2

        Note that a vectorized version of `func` often exists, which will
        be much faster. You could square each number elementwise.

        If a list of dict/series is passed and the keys are all contained in

        DataFrame will be unchanged.

        Iteratively appending rows to a DataFrame can be more computationally
        intensive than a single concatenate. A better solution is to append
        those rows to a list and then concatenate the list with the original
        DataFrame all at once.

        """
        Join columns of another DataFrame.

        Join columns with `other` DataFrame either on index or on a key
        column. Efficiently join multiple DataFrame objects by index at once by
        passing a list.

        Parameters
        ----------
        other : DataFrame, Series, or list of DataFrame
            Index should be similar to one of the columns in this one. If a
            Series is passed, its name attribute must be set, and that will be
            used as the column name in the resulting joined DataFrame.
        on : str, list of str, or array-like, optional
            Column or index level name(s) in the caller to join on the index
            in `other`, otherwise joins index-on-index. If multiple
            values given, the `other` DataFrame must have a MultiIndex. Can
            pass an array as the join key if it is not already contained in
            the calling DataFrame. Like an Excel VLOOKUP operation.
        how : {'left', 'right', 'outer', 'inner'}, default 'left'
            How to handle the operation of the two objects.

            * left: use calling frame's index (or column if on is specified)
            * right: use `other`'s index.
            * outer: form union of calling frame's index (or column if on is
              specified) with `other`'s index, and sort it.
              lexicographically.
            * inner: form intersection of calling frame's index (or column if
              on is specified) with `other`'s index, preserving the order
              of the calling's one.
        lsuffix : str, default ''
            Suffix to use from left frame's overlapping columns.
        rsuffix : str, default ''
            Suffix to use from right frame's overlapping columns.
        sort : bool, default False
            Order result DataFrame lexicographically by the join key. If False,
            the order of the join key depends on the join type (how keyword).

        Returns
        -------
        DataFrame
            A dataframe containing columns from both the caller and `other`.

        See Also
        --------
        DataFrame.merge : For column(s)-on-columns(s) operations.

        Notes
        -----
        Parameters `on`, `lsuffix`, and `rsuffix` are not supported when
        passing a list of `DataFrame` objects.

        Support for specifying index levels as the `on` parameter was added
        in version 0.23.0.

        Examples
        --------
        >>> df = pd.DataFrame({'key': ['K0', 'K1', 'K2', 'K3', 'K4', 'K5'],
        ...                    'A': ['A0', 'A1', 'A2', 'A3', 'A4', 'A5']})

        >>> df
          key   A
        0  K0  A0
        1  K1  A1
        2  K2  A2
        3  K3  A3
        4  K4  A4
        5  K5  A5

        >>> other = pd.DataFrame({'key': ['K0', 'K1', 'K2'],
        ...                       'B': ['B0', 'B1', 'B2']})

        >>> other
          key   B
        0  K0  B0
        1  K1  B1
        2  K2  B2

        Join DataFrames using their indexes.

        >>> df.join(other, lsuffix='_caller', rsuffix='_other')
          key_caller   A key_other    B
        0         K0  A0        K0   B0
        1         K1  A1        K1   B1
        2         K2  A2        K2   B2
        3         K3  A3       NaN  NaN
        4         K4  A4       NaN  NaN
        5         K5  A5       NaN  NaN

        If we want to join using the key columns, we need to set key to be
        the index in both `df` and `other`. The joined DataFrame will have
        key as its index.

        >>> df.set_index('key').join(other.set_index('key'))
              A    B
        key
        K0   A0   B0
        K1   A1   B1
        K2   A2   B2
        K3   A3  NaN
        K4   A4  NaN
        K5   A5  NaN

        Another option to join using the key columns is to use the `on`
        parameter. DataFrame.join always uses `other`'s index but we can use
        any column in `df`. This method preserves the original DataFrame's
        index in the result.

        >>> df.join(other.set_index('key'), on='key')
          key   A    B
        0  K0  A0   B0
        1  K1  A1   B1
        2  K2  A2   B2
        3  K3  A3  NaN
        4  K4  A4  NaN
        5  K5  A5  NaN

        Both NA and null values are automatically excluded from the

        A threshold can be set for the minimum number of

        Returns the covariance matrix of the DataFrame's time series.
        The covariance is normalized by N-1.

        the returned covariance matrix will be an unbiased estimate
        of the variance and covariance between the member Series.

        However, for many applications this estimate may not be acceptable
        because the estimate covariance matrix is not guaranteed to be positive
        semi-definite. This could lead to estimate correlations having
        absolute values which are greater than one, and/or a non-invertible

        Examples
        --------
        >>> df = pd.DataFrame([('bird', 2, 2),
        ...                    ('mammal', 4, np.nan),

        spider   arthropod     8    0.0
        ostrich       bird     2    NaN

        By default, missing values are not considered, and the mode of wings
        are both 0 and 2. The second row of species and legs contains ``NaN``,
        because they have only one mode, but the DataFrame has two rows.

        >>> df.mode()
          species  legs  wings
        0    bird   2.0    0.0
        1     NaN   NaN    2.0

        Setting ``dropna=False`` ``NaN`` values are considered and they can be
        the mode (like for wings).

        >>> df.mode(dropna=False)
          species  legs  wings
        0    bird     2    NaN

        Setting ``numeric_only=True``, only the mode of numeric columns is

        0   2.0    0.0

        >>> df.mode(axis='columns', numeric_only=True)
                   0    1

        q : float or array-like, default 0.5 (50% quantile)
            Value between 0 <= q <= 1, the quantile(s) to compute.
        axis : {0, 1, 'index', 'columns'} (default 0)

            computed as well.
        interpolation : {'linear', 'lower', 'higher', 'midpoint', 'nearest'}
            This optional parameter specifies the interpolation method to use,
            when the desired quantile lies between two data points `i` and `j`:

            * linear: `i + (j - i) * fraction`, where `fraction` is the
              fractional part of the index surrounded by `i` and `j`.
            * lower: `i`.
            * higher: `j`.
            * nearest: `i` or `j` whichever is nearest.
            * midpoint: (`i` + `j`) / 2.

        Returns
        -------
        Series or DataFrame

            If ``q`` is an array, a DataFrame will be returned where the
              index is ``q``, the columns are the columns of self, and the
              values are the quantiles.
            If ``q`` is a float, a Series will be returned where the
              index is the columns of self and the values are the quantiles.
