Custom Aggregation on Fields in Data Frame Using Python
Custom Aggregation on Fields in Data Frame Introduction In data analysis and manipulation, working with data frames is a common task. A data frame is a two-dimensional table of data where each column represents a variable, and each row represents an observation. When working with data frames, it’s often necessary to perform aggregations or transformations on the data. In this article, we’ll explore how to achieve custom aggregation on fields in a data frame using Python.
